NEw YoRK coFFEE MARKET.
DEMAND FOR COPPER
INCREASED AMAZINGLY Y

BOSTON. Dec. S-Walker's copper
letter in today's Commercial. says: Cop
per is considerably stronger. Lake is
selling at % cents per pound for delivery
after the 1st Of the year. The feature
Of the market IS the extreme scarcity
of offers and supplies.
The copper market is in every way
natural and legitimate. There is no
speculation. Prices are advancing and
likely to reach - cents per pound. and
the explanation is found in the fact that
the consumptive demand for copper is
greater than the production. Famine IS
the word that describes the situation.
All OF the leading producers are praCti-
cally out OF the market for nearby de-
liveries.
Briefly summed up, the copper mines.
mills, and smelters of the world are
being operated to their full capacity,
yet their output is insufficient to sup
ply the worlds requirements. An alb
normal advance in the price Of the
metal has checked consumption some
what, but not enough 10 bring about
an adjustment OF supply and demand
Consumers are continuing to bid for
supplies that do not exist. consequently
prices are likely TO go still higher.
