COPPER ADVANCED
BY PHELPS DODGE
Boost to 9la.Cent Level for
Domestic Consumers e.
feCtive Tomorrow.
BY the Associated Press.

by tno ASSOCIATED Fress.
NEW YORK, February 14.-Phelps
Dodge Corp, a major copper pro-
ducer, announced today that effective
tomorrow. morning it would increase
the price Of copper for the domestic
trade to 91a cents a pound from the
9A cent level which has been in effect
since October 8, 1885.
Meanwhile the company was refus-
ing to accept business on any basis
except the 9h-cent level Other major
producers made no immediate an
nouncement of a change, but the
matter was under consideration at the
Offices Of most of the larger concerns.
The advance made by Phelps Dodge,
which will carry the red metal to the
highest levels since April. 1891, re-
f1ected the company's individual posi-
ton, it was explained, and was due to
a number of factors, including the
satisfactory manner in which the do
mestic trade absorbed metal in recent
months.
The price Of copper for export,
meanwhile, was thrown temporarily
into a state of confusion. 1t was re-
ported in trade circles that there
were plenty of buyers at levels as
high as $50 cents a pound C. i. f.
European bases. but so far as could
be learned sellers had withdrawn from
the market pending a Qualification of
the situation.
On Thursday most transactions in
copper for export were made on the
basis of 885 cents a pound The
steady absorption of the red metal
abroad, and the extreme firmness of
prices recently, was believed to have
played an important part in the i'm.
provement in the domestic price struc-
ture.
