Copper Market Weak.

The copper market has been a little
weaker recently. but not because Of any
cessation Of the demand for copper. That
was proved by the publication on Friday
Of the monthly report OF the Copper
Producers Association. showing a de-
crease in stocks OF 15.o00el0 pounds. The
truth is in this regard that the copper
market IS suffering from the subsidence
Of speculative activity IN the London
market, where an active movement for
the rise in copper was carried on during
the spring. accompanied with similar cp-
erations 20 Kafir stocks and mining
shares generally One indication Of the
week that deserves more than passing
notice was the action OF the directors o.
the Bank Of England on Friday IN de-
Gliding not 10 make any change n the

upon the directors 20 lower the discount
rate in view Of the present plethora Of
money IN England and IL The interns-
tional financial world Only one interpre-
tation. therefore. Is 10 be placed upon the
action OF the bank and that Is that a
more OF less general trade revival is ex-
pected in the autumn and that a larger
demand for money viii oe Witnessed al
