The steamship Edith came in about 3 clock this morning from the north and anchored in midstream, being unable to approach the wharf, had it heen her intention to tie up, which, however. it was not. The wind blow ing a hurricane at the time, her master evidently concluded that it would be wise to finger until the gale suhsided rather than venture further on her voyage. She is laden with ss5 tons of ore from the Niblack taken in on her way north, and ?. 200 tons of gypsum from the Chicagotf quarries.

 THE PROSPECTS FOR COPPER
 l. is expected by some, who are in a good position to judge, that soon a.ter the end of the year 2 sharp rise in the value Of copper will take place, the reason for this view being that at about that time the output of tie re- 6nefies will hegin to show The cur tailmeut al the mines in OctoLer and Novem Der. Also by that time the currency difficulty wiA douhtless have been overcome. There is 10 question ,hat the accumulation of stocks was greatly reduced hy the he1yy sales al he end of October. although since then the current production has in creased them again to some extent. Conditions will doubtless soon be ripe .or rise ipernaps they have already been diSeouHted. bat if there be such Il movement it will be dependent upon revival of demabd by American con- sumers and will he coatroIed by the stocks in second hands.
 However if further rise takes place there is little reason to antici- nate that it will be either high or oi long duration, for the reasons that (1) American industry has entered upon a period of recession and reduced de- mand, as is now recognized, and (2) the day Of large production of cheap copper from Bingham, Ely and else where cIo>e at hand. Indeed, it would have been here already had not cer- tain companies underfuanced their construction accounts ard become placed in vexatious position by the iinancial panic. while others have deemed it the cautious policy to go slow temporarily. If recent events [ the copper and stock markets be read [ between the lines, some inference, may be drawn respecting the aims and wishes of those interested in tbe prediction Of conn atiyely costly ccp- per which is about to he replaced hy much cheaper copper just when the demand for copper has become greatly restricted.
 ! It is time for the producers to for get the abnormallY high prices Of the ] last two years and make up theil minds to carry on their business in { ration'l way. We mean that tine pro dacers that were able to make q prof ou, of copper that cost ljc. to produce ought to thank ti;eir lgcky stars fol this ability while 1t lasted, bnt ough not U eras suen long f-ees he eau-' they ca9 not always do 50.
