I Upper Market.

From Engineering and Mining Journal.
There is no change from the unfavora-
BILE condition under which this metal has
labored for the last few months. Business
with manufacturers here still leaves a
great deal to be desired, and in the alb
sence of larger orders the necessary
consequence is that they will not contract
for raw material on a scale extensive
enough to change the tone of the market.
Producers show more willingness to
meet the conditions. but the prices which
they are willing TO accept do not as yet
appear low enough to stimulate the de-
mand. 1t is true that during the past
month production has been considerably
less than IL had been for long time
past, and while that condition would
have had the tendency to create an i'm
provement in values, ii could not have
that effect just now because the volume
of business does not warrant 1t. The
week has again passed without any i'm
portant transactions and the prices have
in consequence remained more or less
nominal. but it is reported that lake can
now be bought at 9s4d97sc, while electro
lytic copper in cakes. wire bars or ingots
is freely offered at 9l2c. electrolytic cop
per in plates at 9lsa9Ac, and casting cop
per at the same price.
The foreign market displayed far
stronger tendency the earlier part of the
week-probably the result of more peace
able conditions. The close, however, is
somewhat easier owing to the contineud
pressure to market large quantities of
American copper. G.. NJ. BIS. which open
