The Copper Market Active.

0n the copper situation, the Engineering
and Mining Journal OF the 7th inst. says
During the past week the copper market
has continued strong in tone, and values
have ad q little more. At the be.
ginning Of the week the quotation for lake
copper was 14Kc., but later on some sales
for delivery ny to April next were effected
at 14hc. Although the current consump-
tive demand still continues satisfactory,
the higher prices now asked are doubtless
having the effect of moderating the eager
meas OF buyers, and in the interest OF the
trade in general it 10 to be hoped that quo
tations will not be raised further for some
time to come at any rate. % the other
hand, there appears to be no reason what
ever why prices should have any material
relapse. With the principal producers &C.
tually sold out for some months to come
and little or nothing floating about on the
market in speculative hands, there Is very
little encouragement for anybody to wait
for lower prices for lake copper, |
and the same remarks apply al
most with equal force to casting
brands, for which latter quotations |
have now been advanced to13@13hc., and
nothing can be bought under these prices.
The fact is that not only have the stocks OF
copper in smelters' hands entirely disap-
peared, but many OF them are also some.
what in arrears with deliveries on running
contracts. European mail ad vices all unite
in reporting q continuance OF the strong
tone which has characterized the markets
on the other side for some time past and
transactions last reported were gradually |
stiffening prices. A large business has re.
Gently been done in furnace material, and
prices for refined and manufactured copper
are exceedingly firm. The latest quota. !
lions for these are: English Tough, f54@
f55; best selected, f56@57; strong sheets, ,
62@64; India sheets, $4,000. and yellow !

In sympathy with the somewhat violent !
fluctuations and lower prices in the British J
pig iron markets, the Lyndon market for .
Chill bars and G.. M. B. copper has been q :
little weaker during the past few days, and !
this morning the lowest point OF the week ]

syndicate to maintain the price OF copper =

price fall below ESQ, the syndicate will u
