Show COPPEES IN NSW YORK. Interesting Basis of Comparison Soon Will Bo Provided. James A. Pollock & Co., bankers and H brokers, 6 West Second South street, furnish the following, received over H their private wire yesterday afternoon: "Boston News Bureau savs: As to H whether or not investors sec merit, in copper stocks can be readily determined by comparing the action of tho Boston murket (coppers) with tho New York list. The former, through sympathy with tho New York market, has" been ir-icgular ir-icgular and dull an excellent sign in-dicating in-dicating absence of pressure at decliu-ing decliu-ing prices. Coppers, with but ouo ex-ccption, ex-ccption, have been singularly' free from manipulation. This 'fine art' has not been necessary. The metal situation in itself has been, and is yet, incentive enough Do start activity and promote Htrcugth in various groups of copper stocks. Consumers arc unable to supply their wants in full at better than three V to four months delivery, notwithstnud- BH ing mines arc being worked twenty-four V hours a day. It scorns a physical im- possibility to satisfy the demands of tho consumers. That the metal is to W reach a still higher level, close obaerv- ei-s all agree. The reported refusal of 25 'j cents per pound on Monday for V 100.000 pounds of lake copper for May end June delivery lends color to this V lipliof. This extraordinary demand will V in timo tell on the stock market prices J of the producing mines. L "The years 11)0G and 1907 will go S down in history as tlie most successful W in the copper industry, not only as to V price obtained for the metal but the BV richness of oro taken from lowest levels ; BV yet rcachod in the big producers has V added immeasurably to tho confidence ; VJ of investors. Calumet and Ilecla and VJ Tamarack, in the Lake Superior dis- VJ trict; Queen in Arizona, all show in- SJ creasing richness at depth. There is a VJ tendency on the part of some of the Wj producing companies to add to their WJ present territory, hy taking over ad- H .lonK properties, notably the cusc of VJ ( alumet arid llccla. in acquiring owuer- Sj ship of Osceola. Tho spirit of conaoli- V nation, enlargement of mining torritorv Vj is on. Tho breaking up of winter fs V expected to find unprecedented aotivitv WJ in tho mining world. Manufacturers o'f V nuniuginnchinory arc months behind in V their dclivcrios. There is no ovidenco of a tendency to halt; tho demand for V tho metal docs not permit of such n V thought. "Tho labor situation in Arizona and V Montana at the present is the one dis- VA i-iJVK faclor- Conferences have been bold between the operators and miners. V The utter. as a body, have voted to dc- H ? n"1 ,nrwc in wages. Pending V filial settlement, tho. mines will nndoubt- V edly susnond further development in V construction work, resulting in layinu- H off many men. It is to bo hoped all H difforcnccs will be amicably settled." Ore and Bullion. Vfll m,'rho nr, a,Itl bullion rccoipls for ! H Thursdav. givon bv McCornick & Co 5153 000 Orc'.$70'000?',''O", |
