Boston, Mass, Sept. 9.-Comment on
market conditions for the past week
Is extremely difficult. Prices have had
no definite trend and interest has been
at the lowest ebb of any similar period
for several years. The publication of
government crop report yesterday. to-
gether with Copper Producers assoc
citation figures have been the only
items of particular interest Former
was much more favorable than gem
orally expected and a very good crop
is assured. The latter was on the
whole favorable although not up to
expectations owing to an unexpected
Increase in August production over
July.
The markets assume each day a
more sold-out appearance and a little
buying is all that is necessary to bring
about quite an advance. While pub
lie buying has not yet made dts ap
pearance owing to fear of political
happenings and bad business reports
we note a slightly increased interest
by very shrcwd people who are APP
parently about making up their minds
to make purchases. The beginning OF
definite upward trend of moderate
proportions seems hkely.-Irving j.

Paine, Weber & Co.'S Gossip

The report of the Copper Producers
association for August was featured by
a reduction in the surplus OF 1,7j9,-
433 pounds, the first time since Janu-
airy that the surplus showed a decrease.
IIut the unfavorable element OF the
statement was the record production
Of 12TSO3,S18 pounds, exceeding the
previous record made i'm June of 49,
2lO,1SS pounds. The total surplus
now stands at GS,sS1,245 pounds.
There was a net decrease in the world
visible supply Of a little under 5000. 900
pounds making the third successive
month that the total visible supply of
copper showed decrease. The in
crease In the deliveries last month
over July was 13,4477Og pounds. which
were by far the largest deliveries this
year. The exports were increased only
2424,G13 pounds SO that the remainder
Of the increase in deliveries was the
result OF home consumption. The fact
that the home consumption Is keeping
up Is the most encouraging feature of
the August report for IL shows that the
low price OF the metal Is certainly
stimulating the demand and increasing
It's uses. That the consumption in
