TT ' .... ' . , win nappcn wncn rixcu Figure Ends There wan some talk In brokers' of fices Saturday over the price of copper, ns the war Industries board has an- www f on January 1, when the board goe out of existence. The board, It Is said, Is of the opinion that tho demand ior copper will be Wily equal to that of prewar times, as Kurope, which ' la badly oft for. the metal, will need a great deal In the work of reconstruction. I the latest fixed war price was twenty- six cents and the price now spoken of Is eighteen cents. "Some years ago cop per only brought thirteen cents a pound," remarked a broker In this connection, "and It would certainly seem as tliouaii there would be a fair margin of profit, oven allowing for the Increased cost of production, most of which Is In wages." Several brokers expressed tho opinion that It Is Inevitable thai copper stocks would decline for some time, but that eventually they would advance In sym pathy with the general list, for there aro very few who do not believe we aro In a rising market. A banker called attention to a very 'significant remark of me chairman of the war Industries board that among the vital war neM-t of the nniiruiu itcpuri ! a tZZHtZnXSltX'to "'"-' Htall off the blg folks schmldt, chairman of the Southern Pa- clfl?: Howard l'lllott chairman of the I Northern Pnnlfln: Samuel Ilea, nresldent I of the Pennsylvania: Daniel Wlllard, president of tho Baltimore and Ohio ; ' A.
