In Wall Street
Copper Stocks Stronger

The improved. statistical position of
copper, with the prospect that produc-
tlon will be resumed soon after the
turn Of the year, has resulted in quiet
buying of the copper stocks for the
last several weeks. This accumulation
has made it difficult fer the mere re-
cent purchasers to take on new or ad~
ditional holdings without an apprecia-
bic advance in the market quotations
OF the varieus issues. Utah, for ex-
ample, advanced yesterday 2A points
on turnover of less than to,0oo
shares. Sentiment regarding the cop
per shares has measurably improved
since the increase in the price of the
metal to ID cents pound 1t has been
calculated that copper stocks during
the last year have been reduced from
1000 100000 poands to around G0o, ,o0O,-
600, level which under normal buy
ing conditions would make it impern-
i've to resume mining operations I'M
iAediately. Predictions are being made
Is ut the metal will sell at Is cents be-
fore the end of the month. This should
be particularly beneficial to the low
cost producers such as the porphypries.
