COPPER PRICES SOAR;
CLOSE TO THE RECORD
Sales Made at 25 Cents Here,
With Foreign and DOmes-
tic Demand Strong.

A sensational rise of f2 a ton IN the
price OF electrolytic copper in London
yesterday again attracted Wall Streets
attention sharply to conditions In the
copper market. The advance In England
carried the quotation to f117 los, a new
high record for the current movement
Prominent copper men said Yesterday
that while that quotation prevailed on
the copper exchanges in London. the
actual price for delivery was f12l.
Dealers in this city began to stifren their
price in prospect of a renewed demand
from abroad. and while 24ia cents a
pound was the figure most often quoted.
II was admitted that a few sales were
being made at % cents a pound. This
is within cents pound OF the nigh
est price at which copper has ever sold
Meanwhile the demand for copper at
home and abroad keeps up unabated In
spite OF the abnormal prices. Inquiries
In the market at present, both foreign
and domestic, amount to far in excess
Of 10000. 900 pounds. or over 10000 tons.
The situation Is becoming 20 tense and
the demand 80 great that copper pro-
duccrs are almost afraid to quote prices
for more than two or three months In
advance. They state that they do not
know where the advancing price is going
to stop and fear that II they sell any
great quantities for future delivery
they may be unable to supply the pres
ent demand. Agencies which made con-
tracts a few months ago around 20 cents
find that they are now getting paid at a
figure well below the prevailing market
price.
The fact that Europe is bidding SO
avidly for gold also lends to the belief
in copper circles that the end OF the war
Is long way on II is less than
month ago that the bieGest contract ever
placed here was taken by several or the
large copper companies. II was from
the British Government and called for
135. 600. 900 pounds to be delivered In
1916. The price IL understood 10 have
been around 80 cents a pound
All the concerns which have war or
dcrs use certain amounts OF copper
in filling their contracts and this has
Increased the home consumption. The
railroads. which usually buy copper In
lots of 10000 pounds or more. are he
coming alarmed at the high prices and
are seeking TO purchase much larger
quantities. 1t is known that one big
from 10000 to 10000 pounds at a time
was seeking 100000 pounds yesterday.
The wastage Of copper abroad is enor-
nous. as the metal is used In the making
OF artillery. shells cartridges. rifles. &c
Besides this. much copper is used in
strinsinK the field telephone and tele-
graph wires. Even after the war II is
believed that there will be an abnormal
demand for copper from Europe for re-
construction.

Erles.

Despite the general and In many cases
considerable weakness Of the market
II was noticeable that especial pressure
upon the rails. and particularly the
standard issues, was lacking. Rails OF
the tyre OF Norfolk and Western con-
tinued In good demand. The selling
10th In industrials and rails was In
stocks In which speculation had obvi-
ousy run wild-stocks that In some
cases had been doomed by the help OF
pool operations. In the railroad list
was in fact the weakest spell in the
market for Eric since the big advance
In the stock from around 80 to the mid.
die fortics. No other explanation Is
necessary except the condition OF the
market in the stock. II will I've renlem-
bered that trading In Erie around ~
after the big rise was enormous, plainly
showing distribution. The Streel and
the smaller commission houses were
loaded up with stock in the forties. The
market In the stock In the past month
or so has given eloquent testimony tc
that fact. Previous 10 this weeks de-
cline Erie had sagged In manner that
suggested nothing else than the liquida-
tion Of a weak bull position. The de-
cline In Erie has now been quite large,
A. 80 yesterday IL compared with high
Of ASK In November. This decline Ia
the common contrasts with the COM
Daratlve frmness OF the preferred. which
at the low was of only about points
from the top. The new bonds on the
curb also held we'll The size OF the
decline in Erie common alone would sug-
gest stronger technical position al
this level. REORGANIZATION by the old
pool is also reported TO bc under way.

Cotton continued weak Yesterday.
Although prices at one time were nearly
% points lower than on Wednesday.
there was moderate rally on shore
covering toward the close The net
loa for the day was matter of IL
to IS points.
Yesterdays weakness was merely a
reflection OF the uncasincss felt by the
stale bull element over the acute situ-
alton with regard TO ocean tonnage.
The whole burden OF holding the crop
Ia pu, upon the South owing TO the
fact that export outlets are clogged by
scarcity OF freight room and high ocean
rates.
Al times the market was under rather
severe selling pressure and some OF the
Wall Street houses that had been quite
bullish sold out n good deal OF cot
ton. on the break there was good
buying by trade interests. especially by
certain firms that had been credited
with being very bcarish. The chief
support came from spot interests which
took good deal OF March LIQUIDATION
and also bought July. New England
spinners also are said TO have bought
0 good deal OF cotton on the break for
the purpose OF fixing prices on their
purchases.
