PRICE AND DEMAND FOR CoPPEB--We take
the following from the S. f. Mining and
Scientific Press. relating to the price and
demand for copper throughout Europe and
America
"copper" at the present time is very ac-
tive throughout the Eastern Markets, and
prices, have materially advanced under the
increased demand and the great rise in the
price Of gold. eeent sales. TO the amount
of 100000 lbs Of Lake, Baltimore, and
Bergen Port, have recently been made at
prices ranging from 35@401 cents Hola :
ers seem disposed to sIlll further advance
in their prices
At latest European advices the London
and Havre markets ere still tending upward
Sales Of Chill has been made il the latter at
2S9f; of Minnesota at 300, 24 in cas,i.
The demand for copper is increasing at
a wonderful rate throughout Christendnm.
as is sufficiently evident from the above
quotations. The consumption of Copper in
the United States for several years past has
averaged about $4,000, 900 lbs annually.
Last year it Increased to 40 900. 600 Those
best informed say that the consumption for
the present year will be largely in excess
of the one just passed. The estimated PRO
duet of the Lake Superior mines, which
reached the market during the year ending
September l>t, 1868. is estimated at only
lZ.OOu, ,UOO lbs-not one quarter of the prob
able home demand for the present year
Thus 1t appears that California miners
need entertain no approximations lest they
should End the copper market overstocke ed
by the time they get their mines fully open
ed. The discovery of copper in California
IN fact. has been most opportune for the
needed supply of an important article of
commerce"
