Good Outlook for Conner.

The London Statist OF Jan. 8, at hand
today. Gays that the present position Of
copper prese nts several interesting fea-
lures. Although there was the engineer
ing strike in England for half OF 1897,
seriously reducing the absorption OF COP
per for mechanical purposes. and an in.
crease in the supplies during the year for
England and France OF Is 54S tons. we
have the stocks Jan. /. 1897, 34,927
tons, and Jan. 1. 1898. 81. 955 tons, Civ
ing decrease OF 2972 tons. The ave.
rage monthly deliveries to the trade
during the same period were about 49,
700 tons; while 10 July, August and Oc-
tober the monthly deliveries were each
over 10000 tons, and az the supply &C.
tually on the spot on the 1st inst. was
n, 455 tons. We now have thisimportant
trade with a reserve supply scarcely
equal to six weeks consum ption. This
gives risk OF rise in price which consum-
ers have to deal with. Looking at the
imports from America, we have an in
crease Tor the year over 1896 OF 6l,139
tone, being much less than was given
out. at the beginning OF the year, az
likely to be received during it's course.
The monthly receipts have decreas ed
since August, with the exception OF that
for October. which approached August.
The average OF the monthly receipts from
America during the year gives 1O,S6O
tons per month, but for FIVE months OF
the year the receipts we're under that
viz: February. 6S13; March. S442; SIP.
TENDER, 9901; November, 9427; and De.
cember. 9671. Recent adyces from Am
erica clearly establish an increasing COO
sumption OF copper there, for mechanical
purposes. and it ia known that the year
will not be far advanced when that il in
creased further for electric installations
The year closed with little demand 70,
India, and the shipments to that marke,
during last year are likely to show con
siderable decrease. Should that trade re
turn soon to it's usual conditions, tn,

a, sessment On Franklin Not

that the weakness OF Franklin mining

pronounced by ID. l.. Demmon, treasurer

IN mt never has been considered by the
directors, nor is IL likely to be in tee near
iuture. The story evidently was put out
in the interest OF parties who have been
trying to get the stock down to as low a
value as possible.
The decline has been helped by ru-
mors that the case Of the Pewabic versus

was heard last July before Judge Sever.
