LIVERPOOL Eng. Dec H. Tie Cisturbaicp of the copper mti sJ Nbia n Nas caused by ez, temen, over the RaiJAn-Turkish S8r bas complete ly subsided and the ma l's icl nofc than a fortnight past. has wora 4
 normal aspect Even the American
 statistics which showed an iucrea seli production in October Of 5.000 ii.s and an increase in the sum total 9I' stocks to the extent of 13.679,O 900 f3sss
 had only slight and momentary ea feet on the market.
 The rebound Of the market after ttsf depression of the var panic was D vigorous and the return to natural conditions so general and thovou gu, that the American producers figures
 had less effect than otherwise they might have had Since the beginning of November prices have taken an up ward course which leaves the value i of copper date nearly e per ton higher than on November |. The position of the metal was strengthened by the returns of the United Kingdom and European move ments of copper in the first half Of November The supplies amounted to 20.0I6 tons and the deliveries .0 22. S05 tons. showing an excess Of de- liveries over receipts 10 the extent Df 27S9 tons This diminution left the visible European stocks at 43, 552 tons, as compared with 46.34l tons on Octo- her 3l.
 This steady reduction of stocks Is the chief and striking feature of the copper situation al the present time and has unpleasant significance for users of the metal They it is whp have To pay the higher price al thc present time and who are faced by still higher prices and by the prospect of a steady, further rise Of prices io a point at present unseen.

 Holders Of copper at that time who rushed their stocks ,on the market and parted with them at the low pricea which then ruled must. lately, have LemoaTJad their haste The market has become strong again and prices are hut little below the highest points they reached in August and Septem- ber.
 One of the more gratifying indica- tons of the market has been the as- surance which it has afforded that the worst Of the BalEan-TurIiSh trouble was past and that better times were in store for the people of the still troubled Balkan countries and for those who have been accustomed to do business with them in these west ern lands.
