COPPER.

The report of James Lewis 4 Son,
of Liverpool, on ores and minerals
for the month OF January is at hand.
Speaking Of the fluctuations In the
price of copper the report says:
"Opening with buyers at EAT. 5
shilling., prices gradually rose,
though falling back slightly or CO Or
twice, under the influence of Large
purchases for speculation and invest
ment and Bears" covering their
previous sales, until s49. Is shillings
was paid for sharp cash bars on the
18Th. The advance bringing out
sellers, there was a sharp reaction to
e49 cash, followed by q further fall
next day to s4s. IL. 6. Values again
improved to s49. 10 sharp cash, and
ESQ. 5 for distant arrival on the 10th;
fell again to 248. IL. 6 the 26th adj
vanced to R49. ON the 9th and closed
at 448. 2. g., the stocks showing q
large increase with unusual small de-
liverie, of Chile bars"
The report records Al The most
noticeable feature of the month the
greatly diminished difference be"
tween the value of English best se-
lected copper and of Chile bars OF
good ordinary brands about "a per
ton, the usual difference being about
e. per ton. Consumers have conse-
quently purchased English and other
ingot copper in preference to Chile
bars.
AS for the prospect for an advance
in the price of the metal the report
says: I'VE do not look for much
Improvement in values until all the
Anaconda matte, sold on the basis of
English best selected, has arrived.
Two thousand eight hundred and
thirty tons have arrived to date,
representing about 1910 tons fine
copper. The minimum quantity con-
tracted for is 800 tons and the maxi
mum $500 tons fine"
The report notes the fact that on
account of the low price OF copper
two Of the leading Arizona mining
companies have closed down their
furnaces, and one Montana mine,
which last year shipped about 4,5W
tons of p per cent. ore, has ceased
working for the present" while other
owners Of mines and furnaces there
purpose to do the same as soon as
existing contracts, made at fixed
prices sometime ago, are completed
The total product of the Lake Su-
perior mines during the year 1884 is
given as AZ, 41e tons 1000 lbs against
81, 4s3 tons in 1s83,-an increase OF
1896 tons. The shipments of ore and
matte from Montana mines were 3D.
500 tons $1,000 tbs.) in 1884 against
Sc, TO tons in 1883, Gil Increase OF
As. 900 tons, Stocks on band at Liver
pool show an increase Of 3,24O tons
fine over the month Of December.
The general outlook Is not one OF
great encouragement to copper pro-
ducers but on the other hand there
are no present indications that the
market will fall below preeent quota
tions which may be regarped as an
assurance that the bottom has been
reached.
