THE COPPER STOCKS. ¥ BOSTON, Dec. 18.—A faflure of three Chi- cago banks and the tight money combined to cause & sharp break this morning, United Copper. which has been so active lately, was the weakest stock, opening at 66 and selling down to 49. North Butte also showed a great lack of buying orders. At the low prices, how- | ever, good buying appeared and the close was strong, Copper Range was heavily liquidated &t the opening, but seemed to be in good de- | nand, and the break was limited to two potnts. | London Closing Stocks. | Cons for money.. 88%| Y Central.

New \'or: Cotton Market. NEW YORK, Dec. 18.—The market fluctu- ated irregularly, owing to many conflicting influences. The National Ginners' Association report was expected at noon to-day, but was | withheld until to-morrow morning. The mar- ke lied gomewhat further in the morn- ing and at best prices and the leading ope tions were 8 polnts above Saturday's closing. strength, however, was clearly forced and selling of & very #ood character appeared. | which not only checked the advance, but ater cavsed a steady decline of 20 _and 27 | points from the highest prices. Efforts to create the impression that the Ginners' -As- soclation report, showing cotton ginned to December 13, which will be out to-nizht, would be very bullish, falled to keep the market up. According’ to rumor the asso- | ciation report will show 9,100,000 bales. An- other report stated that the census bureau ginning report. which will be made public on Wecdnesday, would show 9,317,000 bales ginned up to December 13. The selling to-day was of a much better character than the buying. Advices from President Jordan at Atlanta | state that he can hardly see where the crop ned to December 13 can possibly be over 0,000 running bales. This would ‘indicate 50,000 bales. | la crop of The 1unarf‘f'7_ ange will be (I(»-M Decem- | ver and 80, and January 1 Cotton futures opened steady: December | offered. 11.

CHICAGO, Dec, 18.—During the first hour of to-day’'s session the wheat market was re- markably firm, conlhrenn‘ the uneasiness in financial circles, following the suspension of the banks. The firmness was largely the It of the bullish character of the Weekly statistior, World's ehipments for the week were nearly 4,000,000 bushels less than for the previus week and a large percentage of the decrease was recorded in the Russian exports. In addition to this the amount of Lreadetufts on ocean passage decreased 4,- 552,000 bushels for the week. After opening a shade lower to a shade higher at S7%c to &S, the price of the May option was bid un to 88%c. At this point wheat broké at Minneapolis and St. Louls, the decline being due, it is said, to the bank situation in Chi- cago. Thera was heavy seilin; nn ordcn from these two grain centers. L out free selling by local traders. A-l jces de- clined stop-loss orders increased the pressure and the weakness became more pronounced. An increase of 4,124,000 bushels In the visible supply exerted a bearish snriuence on the ma ket, an increase of only 000,000 bushels hav- ing been expected. Another factor bringing on the decline was the large primary ro- ceipts. May declined to S87%c, rallied and closed wenk, Jec lower at ST%@STize. Increased receipts and the —weakness of wheat had a depreseimg effect on the gorn market. The close was easy. May closed 3 to e lower at ddigc.
