COPPER WILL GO HIGHER.
Demand for Metal Continues With nc
Tendency TO Halt.

James A. Pollock &, Company received
the toilowlng comment on copper mar
ket conditions from Boston today:
As to whether or not investors see
merit In copper stocks, can be readily
determined by comparing the action Of
me Boston market (coppers) with the
New York list. The former, through
sympathy with the New York market.
has been irregular and dull--an excel
lent sign indicating absence of pressure
and declining prices.
Coppers. with but one exception have
been sinsularly free from manipulation.
This fine art" has not been necessa
ny. The metal situation IN Itself has
been, and is yet. incentive enough 10
start activity and promote strength In
various groups of copper stocks Con-
sumers are unable to- supply their
wants in full al better than three to
four months delivery, notwithstanding
mines are bong worked "a hours day.
1t seems physical impossibility to
satisfy the demands OF the consumers.
That the metal is to reach a still high
er level, close observers all agree. The
reported refusal OF 25is cents per pound
on Monday for 100000 pounds of lake
copper for May and June delivery lendB
color 10 this belief This extraordi-
nary demand win in time tell on the
stock market prices OF the producing
mines.
The years 1906 and 1907 will go down
in history as the most successful In tina
copper Industry not only as to price
obtained for the metal but the rich
ness OF ore taken from lowest levels
yet reached in the big producers has
added UNNECESSARILY 10 the confidence
of investors
