COPPER AT II CENTS
Higher Prices Expected, in View
of Metals Strong Position.

The price OF copper metal was advanced
another eighth of cent pound yester-
day. to II cents, level which has been
predicted in the trade for some time. and
In view of the strong statistical position Of
the metal II is expected that the price Will
soon rise still further. Considerable sales
for export were made yesterday at the L.
cent price by the United Metals Selling
Company and the principal independents,
and there were moderate transactions at
the same figure in the domestic market.
Some copper is still to he had at 1876 cents,
but the amount is understood To be very
small. The price in the London market, as
we'll as here. touched II cents yesterday.

mated Copper Company. who sailed for
Europe on Thursday, to be away nearly
three months. declined to comment upon
the copper situation. 1t Is understood how
