Walkers Copper Letter.

Walkers Copper Letter in Saturdays
Boston Commercial will say; Copper re-
mains quiet. but prices have not shown
any further sagging tendency. Lake is
1872 to 1874 cents and electrolytic Is 1874 to
1895 cents per pound AS to the amount
of metal sold for domestic delivery this
month opinions and estimates vary.
Some trade authorities do not expect the
producers report to show domestic deliv
cries in excess of 55,0o0.0o0 pounds, while
others claim the amount will be at least
Co., 100000 pounds, the average of the past
several months. and one estimate of 49,,
10000 pounds has been heard. Exports
for March probably did not exceed ISL
600 pounds. The prospect. therefore, is
that there was a further increase in visi-
bic stocks during the month. Up to
March u, exports exceeded those of the
corresponding period last year by 10000
600 pounds.
Sellers of copper declare that u very
large amount of metal is going into con-
sumption in this country. and foreign
statistics Indicate that the European
consumption is now increasing rapidly.
Production continues large, however, and
unless business confidence is restored IN
this country in time to prevent general
depression there is. of course. no hope
| that the price of the metal will advance
materially for some months to come. On
| the other hand. a supreme court deci-
sion favorable to the American Tobacco
| or Standard Oil company would give the
| business interests of this country new
| confidence. which would be reflected i'm
Heuidlely Ill lSaNy purchases OF copper
| Such a change in sentiment would cause
| existing visible supplies of the metal to
| be absorbed quickly and prices would adj

Those who are arguing that the price of
copper will never be materially higher
should listen to the reports now being
circulated i'll stock market circles. which

| producers. including CRANKY, Calumet &
| Arizona and Parrot. which have been

| SO much lower III grade than that treated
heretofore that they will be obliged to
suspend operations or produce at loss

While | personally have no confidence in

| increase iu the future anything near as
fast as is generally believed.
The business aud financial public has
