COPPER SITUATION.
Little Need for Alarm Over Prospect OF

As We reported last week there has
been weakness In copper. which was
even then distinctly manifest. This mas

in the general stock market. says the

Inaucurated for manipulative purposes,
has evidently gone further than its pro-
moters contemplated. and many stand
ard stocks are now selling AT prices Oh
which their dividends make a conpaTT
atively large return From present ihdi-
cations there IS no reason TO anticipate
reductions In the dividends.
With respect TO copper The slight % ae-
cline is due TO normal conditions. Pro
ducers have covered the largest part oil
their requirements for April, May and
June, and temporarily no one appears TO
want to buy copper. But there are some
producers who want to sell, wherefore
there arc lower offerings TO tempt con-
sumers. However. some Of the largest
producing interests profess, and we be
ilcve hold sincerely, the utmost conf.
dence In the situation, and stand hrm az
