Lewis Lazarus and Sons report that, following the lead of New York, standard copper ruled very strong and active, prices rising 358. to 37s. 6d. per ton. Fully 1,000 tons were sold at £82 10s. to £83 for near dates, át £82 18s. 3d. to #83 108. for various July prompts, and at $83 10s, to £84 for August and three monthe.

In so far as the copper trade is concerned, how ever, it would be better to make a start from a market at 18 and

17 cents than from one that is aver 20 cents, for, the former is not an extravagant price to pay, and the latter is. Whatever may happen, the copper producers will have no ground for complaint: They have sold a lot of their 1915 output at better than 18 cent which is a very fins price, and they have reason to expect for a
