Walkers Copper Letter,

Walkers Copper Letter in Saturdays
Boston Commercial will say:
Copper is strong, but the market is
much less active than it was a month or
so ago. Lake is 1875 to IA cents. and
electroytic is 1872 to 1874 cents per pound
Efforts are being made in certain quarters
to manipulate the market and have it APP
pear that the actual price level is half
cent lower than these quotations. 1t is
quite possible that some small speculative
lots may have been sold around 1872 and
1875 cents recently; If So. the bearish re-
ports which are being circulated indus
triously have some basis of truth.
Leading refiners and sellers of electroly-
tic copper say that three-quarters of the
metal now being sold and shipped goes to
domestic consumers. A year or two ago
it was the reverse, tWo-thirdS of the out
put going abroad and not more than one
third being delivered in this country. The
foreign market was overstocked by the
heavy buying at lower prices by European
consumers and SPECTATORS. AS soon as
the foreign surplus begins to be reduced
exports from this country will increase
again and higher prices will follow.
The volume of brass and sheet copper
business is now approximately as great
as it was previous to the panic. Very
few big orders have been received so far
by the wire mills. however. and it is this
department of the electrical business
alone which SO far shows very little i'm
provement. In the building of new cleo
trio roads, telegraph and telephone lines
and re-equippins old ones, however, the
wire is the last thing to be purchased and
used. 1t is confidently expected. there
fore, that there will be a verv decided in
crease in the demand for copper wire soon
after the first of the year.
The report of the Copper Producers
association. showing a decrease of 506.099
pounds in the American surplus during
November, was hardly up to expectations.
but it is taken as marking the turn in the
tide From now on the deliveries should
show a steadily increasing margin over
production. 1t is reported unotficially
that the leading producers have agreed to
curtail their outiut about 1870 until the
existing surplus is exhausted. This may
be true; but advices SO far received from
the various districts do not confirm the
report. In my opinion consumption will
increase so rapidly in the coming year
as to make curtailment of production en-
tirely unnecessary.
