Copper Metal Aspect.

The absorption of copper by the Euro
mean countries continues to be on a large
scale. and the London level of prices for
the metal compares favorably with prices
quoted at any time during the last six
months. II is little strange that there
should be such a demand abroad for cop
per when, so far as outward signs are
apparent, no remarkable development in
the Industrial world has taken place TO
warrant more than a slightly increased
demand at the most. No special effect
has been felt on any improvement In the
Balkan situation, so il must be either
that stocks are being accumulated by pri-
yate interests IN anticipation of heavy
demand later on. or that copper COM
bine is pilng up reserve stocks for the
purpose Of influencing prices. as was done
some years ago A buying movement be-
gan in the copper market few weeks
since, after a period of weakness, when
the selling price of copper had declined
10 around the 14-cent level. One OF the
causes for an Improvement in the buying
tone was a strike in the Lake Superior
mines during the latter part Of July.
which in some circles it is thought will
operate to keep unsold stocks OF metal
down until production has been restored
10 a normal basis. Among copper inter-
ests II is said that the trend is toward
frmer market conditions, based on the
actual requirements. which should al
ways govern. Pegging prices should be
abandoned by those in control or the
metal market, as it will only continue TO
disturb conditions in the future. as 1t has
in the past, and the law of supply and
demand should be the only one allowed
70 govern Drice movements.
