COPPER MARK [ I CONTINUES
 ACTIVE

BOSTON. June 3. - A factor indi- eating the strength of the copper mar ket may be found in requests for an ticipation of deliveries. One consumer asks that copper bought for July de- livery be shipped as soon as possible. The conditions at refineries in gen. eral make it impossible to meet the requests fully.
 Tt is now producers market" A month ago reselling in large quantl- ties was in evidence and prices were sliding to below 25 cents a pound. Since that time nearby copper has sold at 30 cents, with 2S l-2 to 29 cents dominating the third quarter and 2S cents being quoted on copper for ship ment in the last three months of the year.
 Every pound of the gigantic pro- duction of copper last year was sold. There was no unsold copper brought forward into 1917. This years pro- duction promises to at least equal and probably exceed the 1916 total of 2,600,000. 900 pounds. and producers have every confidence that the year 1918 will come in with as clean a slate. regarding unsold metal, as its predecessor.
