Copper.
There has been a relapse in the copper market in Londen, due to too sanguine speculation, and on May 1, £78 10s. was quoted.. Several holders of stock unloaded, but not it lower prices than those, at which they had bought. Elcoʻro copper has declined very little, be ing quoted at £87 per ton atill, It is believed, therefore, that or- dinary 97 per cent. copper will shortly recover.

Copper Market. At £87.
Latest advices to the local branch of the Furukawa Mining Oo. (the most powerful copper mining corporation of Japan) say. that copper was quoted at £81 5 s.in spot deals and £82 10 a, by forward contract, olectric copper being quoted at 287 10. Com- pared with 454 of half a year ago, theze mean a rife by 60 per cent. or 80, the most amazing pheno- menon known since the Russo- Japanese Wor. This
гіве
originated frem the united restriction enforced by the mine- owners in the United States on their copper outpute. With this restriction the tone began to stiffen when the European War broke out. Russia became a heavy consumer and kept impor- ting copper via the port of Arch- angel. On the clcsing of this port for the winter the import channel was ebilted to via Vlad- ivostok and the Siberian roule. This
gave an impetus to Japanese dealers and steadily strengthened the market. Whilst Russia's
wante were only partially filled, an enormous order was "given by Italy. It was later found that the bulk of imports to Italy was for German consumption. In the meantime London came forward as another beary customer, and all these brisk drains diminished the stocks quickly.
The Copper Mine-Owners Fe- deration of the United States decided to increase their respec- five outputs in order to readjust supply to the demand. Even in Jazan the minor mice-owners, excluding such as the Furukawan, the Mitsubishie, and the Sumito- mos, who had been suspending. their working for the past half gear, resumed. operation.
It is now feared that the supply already exceeds the demand, and the present quotation of 487 will' prove the climax in the market.- M. D. News.
