Viewing the copper situa- ton merely as an unquestion-
 ing spectator, sitting before the footlights and accepting at its fantastic value every movement of the drama. one imagines it a very simple ex- planation of the copper mar ket history during the past year. In brief, it is this: that, while the copper producer had the copper consumer on the run eight months ago, the copper consumer now has the copper producer on the run. We have had stage duel, and at this moment the copper producer has struck a defiant attitude hissing his respects tohis antagonist and announce ing his dire intention to quit producing. In other words, the stage hero or villain, whichever he may be, threat ems to starve his opponent into submission, says the Denver Daily Mining Record.

It is impossible to believe that there was any reason for a sudden slump in copper to below l5 cents d pound. Bnt if there was such a reason, it could be only mo- mentary, and there are other reasons why the price should quickly react to higher levels.
