THE COPPER MARKET.
Improving Tendency - Higher
Prices Are Expected.

An improving tendency was noted yes
terday in the copper market, not so
much through actual sales made but
through inquiries. Higher prices either
tomorrow or carly next week were pre-
dicted last night in the trade. Book
ings were reported at various levels from
14ia cents up to i4% cents. Calumet
and HeCla was still holding its price at
15L cents and was known to have sold
at better than Is cents "A pound.
Big tonnages for foreign account are
in the market. but the well sold up posi-
ton of many OF the producers makes II
rather difficult to place the business. at
least in one Office.
The "out' about the situation con-
tinues TO be the lack of business re-
ceived by domestic manufacturers for
domestic account. True, they are using
copper heavily, but the output OF the
manufacturers will be shipped abroad to
belligerent nations.
Russia is I'm this market for copper.
lead and spelter. There have been large
sales OF various metals for Russian ac-
count. but the appetite of that coun-
try does not appear TO be appessed as
yet
Spslter was quoted at about So cents
St Louis for March shipment Pro-
ducers do not care to book beyond that
month.

paid for this metal during the past few
days have raised the price to 3.sj cents

Japan for Peace---Okuma

Count Okuma. Premier OF Japan, has
talked freely with Samuel G. Blythe on
matters of interest in this country. and
the interview Is published In this
weeks Saturday Evening Post. Count
Okuma said:
There never was war party in
Japan. There never was any real war
sentiment In Japan. There never has
been n responsible agitation for war
in this country--war between Japan
and the United States. / mean. What
there has been was the echo OF aGita-
tion and war talk that began in your
country.
I'VE have jingoes here just as YOU
have jinSocs in America. We have a
sensational press here just as YOU nave
81 sensational press In America. Natur-
ally when the LIMOGES Of America. and
those with selfish ends TO serve. began
TO cry war in America and the sensa-
tional press took up that cry, IL found
an echo here and the press propag anda
found imitators. But II Is not rcspOn-
sible. and il is not official
How could there be war between
Japan and tho United States? Your
country will never be the aGgrcssor and
Japan will never be. what. then could
or would start a war? If YOU will look
into history you will find that Japan
never has begun war until war was
forced on Japan as the last alterna-
tive"
Count Okuma enlarged on the friend
ship between Japan and the United
States and then referred TO the Cali
fornia incident. He said that after the
war with Russia there came change
In Japanese feeling toward the United
States.
This situation did not develop in
any sort OF acuteness until the ayita-
ton began i'm California" he continued.
From the viewpoint of Japan that aci-

unsatisfactory and depressing to our
people. There were certain of our
people who looked on this agitation as
national agitation: but those OF us
who understood had no such view
Rather, we held il to be IL local agita :
ton"
Count Okuna told of Japan's repre-
sentation at the Panama Exposition as
a proof of her feeling in the Californian
matter and added that las far as the
immigration of our laborcrs is con-
cerned we have no disposition to en-
danger the relations between our coun-
try and yours on account of n few
hundred thousand labOrers."
The Premier then talked of Asiatic
conditions, and declared that Japan
must be the natural mediator between
the East and the West.
I'VE have now reached point in
Japan" he continued. where we feel
that the time has arrived for the proper
realization for ourselves Of the trc-
mcndous advantages offered to rs by
the vast territory OF China, and we also
feel that we are peculiarly fitted for
commercial dealings with that nation.
We have no designs on the territorial
integrity OF China or any other design
than the full possession of the rights
We feel we have there-our natural adj
vantaSes due TO our geographical situa-
ton. our understanding OF the Chinese
