gin to be seen when copper goes much
above 16 cents. Substitutes for the
metal are then sought.
The New York Journal Of Commerce
says that the falling off in orders for
finished copper products and for wire
bars, ingots and shapes since the first
of April is a warning that the price
must not go much above it's present
level, as new enterprises are being
postponed and large consumers are
buying only 20 cover new small orders
that have been received.
'1t is a significant fact" says the
Journal of Commerce. that unreilned
stocks have been increased 10000, 900
pounds in the last few months, which
means that there is a supply of $780,
100000 pounds of copper that could
quickly he converted. into ANY form
desired by employing the excess refin-
cry capacity now idle"
This Is the view of the street.:
| Copper producers and copper refiners
have an understanding or a gentle
mems agreement that will hold until
the world has absorbed the copper
surplus. If there is any. If the sur
plus shows signs Of increasing, the
| producers Will curtall their output
without announcing it from the house
tops. Thus the price of copper will
be kept firm around 16 cents. pro-
ducers will make money and copper
shares will pay good dividends"
The foreign visible supply OF copper
In England. France and ahoat thereto
on April Is was $49,434 tons. n decrease
OF 741 tons within two weeks. Copper
metal will probably be placed on &
1914 cent basis this week.
