Dullness in Copper Trade (londltioiiH in the copper market con tinue unusually dull. Apparently, two (auscs contributed to this The first, and probably the most important, wnH tne tendency of consumers to witnnoiii placing iirders becliue or tlie price nhmllnif liv sinnll ilenlet'M nnil flip see- nnd wn- tlie fact that this is the season for taking inventories, nnd some users might have been kept out of the market for this reason. Leading selling agencies and large producers, so far n can be learned, did not shade fourteen cents per pound tor lirst fiiurtrr copper, but smni.er dealers were offering tlie metal at thir teen and it half (cuts per pound in mod crate qunntitliM, and while it is not be lieved that the big consumers eou'd iov"r their requirements nt these low ligures, it Is true that this price shading caused considerable hesitancy on the part of users. Itond .Market Improving If the urtion of the vnrlous invest ment houses in putting out large amounts of new securities may be ac cepted as n proper criterion, the gen eral expectation in the trade is for Im provement in the bond mnrket, or nn effect is being made to pave the wav for catching some of tlie .Tnnunn 1 interest nnd dividend disbursement money by presenting attractive issues to tlie public well in advance. In the face of what has taken place in the securities mnrkets rrcontlj. it might seem reasonable to expect that the January 1 investment demand this nr will not be of as much importance n has been the case in numerous pre vious years. Those who follow investment affairs c'nsely, howccr. maintain that, at the present time, there is a good sound in-r-stment demand for securities, but this pel tains more particularly to stocks, which, by reason of the pronounced de clines which have tahen place, are looked upon as distinct bargains. Stool Trade. LsnoUIn; Up Although the best authorities are not highly optimistic regarding the imme diate out.ook for the steel industry, it must be admitted that hero lias been MMne improvement in conditions. Orders have been larger than heretofore, and many of the independents have received business for early delivery. Those who handle the export busi ness of tlie steel companies: are Iook ing forward for some improvement in foreign demand. One nf the lending authorities on exports has expressed the opinion that the indications point to a gradual improvement in buying from abroad, hut admits that competi tion for business will lie more keen thnn ever before. Iu this connection, it is learned, that an older for MJ00 tons of steel rails has been placed, or is about to be placed, in this country for China, ami other business is pending. On the other hand, n rail order for lirazil went to some Itelgiun mills recent . indicating that these makers are competing for South American business. Herder & Co. Sentiment lias been much encouraged bv the turn for the better iu the market, liest opinion Is that in the absence of some uin-x . . e- iui'. - peeled adverse news, the bear movement has culminated for the time being nt least nnd there should be gradual im movement. The low prices have dis ow prices have (lis hat is unfavorable 1 counted so mil. h t would seem that it is coing to t some entirei.v new adverse developmeni to cause a hrcak below recent lows in cases of good stocks.
