The market developed an easier tone
during the past month. and values
showed further shrinkage TO 10i for
Lake brands. Transactions at this CEN
ire were only moderate all toll, and
buyers generally following a c)nserva-
tive policy, the volume OF business was
restricted within comparatively narrow
limits.
Lately, however. the market exhibits q
disposition TO become steader, and the
declining tendency seems TO have run it's
course. Lake was sold several days ago
at 11% 10 quantity. and this price has
since been bid and declined. Market
now IL cents firm for ingot. Brands
other than Lake have been in request.

Id up. Manufacturers have been busy,
with the brass and copper mills well EN-
ployed. Interest is beginning to mani
feet itself regarding the price basis on
which the next sales by the Calumet and
Hecla will take place. Former guaran-
tees undoubtedly che ,ked negotiations,
especially when the market slid off, but
business treaties may now soon be re-
sumed, with what results remains to be
seen,
The foreign copper situation remains
the pivotal point. and. statistically con.
sidered the European position OF the
metal is one OF unqualified soundness
According to the last returns, there is
more copper consumed in Europe than
eyer b fore, and, notwithstanding the
continuous heavy imports from this
country, amounting for the past four
years and eleven months to475,7S tons

Consumption 10 England and France is
estimated TO be 3 $50 tons ahead OF last
