"Thr price remains stable, and that at fgures that cannot but be satisfactory to the producer. l see that copper is quoted at l6 10 this morning, but I also notice tbat all who buy are obliged to pay IT fiat, and tue holders are moi anxious tc sell at that. Large as is the supply. the demand is still greater and has be- come established as such. This makes the market certain within all reasona- hle bounds and fixes the prite for the future. Of course there will be fuc- tuations, as everything Is uncertain, but it would be difficult to construct any combination of circumstances that would be more favorable to the red metal.
