By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 27.-The out
side market" price for copper was
generally quoted at II cents a
pound today, or Il cent under the
level of primary producers.

tended to depress the unoficial
price quoted by custom smelters
for the last week or more, and the
present u cent spread from the
producers quotation is the widest
SO far. Frances collapse also af-
fected the market adversely.
Maintenance of the 11!s-cent
level by producers Is attributed
to the fact many are we'll sold

copper export prices to an equiva-
lent of around 1890 cents, alongside
