Copper Market Thin.

There is still very little demand for
copper, according to leading copper men.
Charles Hayden. Of Hayden. Stone & Co..
which controls several important copper
properties, said yesterday that, although
the foreign inquiry for copper continued
to be in evidence in q slight degree. the
domestic business was exceedingly
small. The price remains around 13
cents n pound and very little price
weakness has been shown since 1t be-
came known that the important pro-
ducers had decided to withhold their
metal from the market rather than ac-
cept present low quotations.

TOPICS OF WALL STREET.
Acceptance Rates.

The next change in the buying and
selling rates for prime bankers ac-
ceptances will be to higher rate OF
discount and will occur shortly. in the
opinion OF leading dealer. who pointed
out yesterday that the drop in the rate
of discount to as low as 5A per cent.
from 6A per cent. had been too rapid
The demand for acceptances slackene
yesterday, although a fair amount OF
business was done and 1t was significant
that the smaller rate OF discount for
purchases and sales failed to bring out
any increase In the normal rate of sup
ply. With the slack in money apparently
absorbed. an increase in the rate OF
discount would be normal develop
ment.
