The feeling of optimism that has devei-
oped during the past week in the cop
nor market. shows the irmest tone since
last fall. The producers are now con
fdent that there will be a sharp au-
vance in the price of copper oelore
lorg They base their belief on some
verv tanoihle facts. The small surplus
of metallic copper on hand, the growth
in orders in this country and aproao'
and the fact that the new producers
viii not be in position to market mneh
copper for several months, add 10 ohe
