Commercia',
Copper,
Copper deliveries in Marob, ac. cording to Mesere. Henry R. Merton and Company's statistics, were 5,319 tons in excess of receipts, so the visible supply wBR reduced from "34,375 to 29,058 tons,
Coincident with that shrinkage in supply there was a rise £3 178. 6d. in the settlement; price of standard copper. Stocks in England and France dropped by 8,901 tons, consigamenta afloat from Obile 700 tons and from Australia 625 tons, AL- though the consumption exceeded the supply in March, the receipts of copper were substantially larger than those of any month since July Inst year. Au increase from avery source of supply except Australia was shown in compari son with February; importa from North America were 11,079 tons up on this month.
Tea.
The market at Mackow is very active, and teas are bought up as soon as shown. Quality all round is considered good.. Kheemune Jave been dealt in up to Tls. 6.4; but this price will probably be exceeded for some of the fine lens yet to came to hand. The Sham-. iam market was opened at Tis. 25, and up to Tie. 32 an paid for Welsace. The opinion is that there common teas which lay down in London at 9-104 i, per lb. are fully Tle. 5 per picul batter quality than last year. Chinese leemen must be resping a harvest. There is great difficulty about. freight engagements.
Osaka and Kobe Money Market. There being no pit.dulur-de- mand for funds just ar present, and as the banks have abundant) cash available, the money market in Osake is very slack. No par- ticular change has taken place in teh ratos of interests. The rate or call money remains at 8 ria Eout, while the discount rate tood at 1 sen 7 ria, On the whole the present slackness may be expected to continue for some ime. The advances made by the: biska Branch of the Bank of apan amounted to Y5,314,000, hile the deposits received by the. ank
aggregated Y0,038,000. fothing worthy of report has aken place on the money market
Kobe. During the past week. usiness continued dull, as there as no special demand for fuade, Jader these circumstances,
oney in the banks is steadily creasing, while the advances e decreasing, The rate for call oney remains b.tween 8 rin aud rin and the discount rate at I a6 rin (minimum). The banks opear to be anxions to find suita--| e openinge for the employment
their idle fonds.
Copper.
Latest advices from London ate that copper was quoted at 3156 in spot deals and £82
by forward contract, electric pper being quoted at £81 10. mpared with £54 of half-n year o, these mean a ries of 60 per at. This rise originated from e united restriction enforced by e mine-owners in the United Stes on their copper outputs. ith thisrestriction the tone be- n to stiffen when the European er broke out. Russia became a evy consumer and kept im- rting copper via the port of obangel. On the closing of 25 port for the winter
