THE COPPER MARKET.

considering both producers and dealers.

decessors of the past month or two.
showing as they did increases in both
stocks and visible supply abroad. The
visible supply OF the metal at British
ana French warehouse points gained
l,b2s tons over the amount exported at
the beginning of July. while stocks were
up 32s tons. ON July 10 the visible
supply totalled 3i,496 tons, this includ-
ing afloats from Chile and Australia as
well as the Mount in warehouses.
High grade spelter again dominated
the market for that metal, but owing to
the fact that comparatively few OF the
zinc shelters turn out this class OF
product the business was necessarily
limited.
In lead there were some cheap offer
ing by dealers and in some instances
by consumers. The American Smelling
ana Refining Company price held un-
changed at 5& cents a pound.

given for this deterioration. although 1t
was stated tina weather conditions had
been favorable and the crop was not

consensus of opinion among planters
was said to be to the effect that the
