I One of the surprlcs In this cennc tien j estenlnv vns the eonrl''ueis Hil ! ness of the entire copper group. Ann i cenda wis offered In lnrge blocks and j seemed te be friendless. According te the Street theory, pressure en the group resulted largely beeiuse of the fni'ure ef the red metal shares te participate mere i pTtinslve' in the leeent r." Fer some days, however, there had i I been hints of shading prices In thp metal mniket. the technical position e which apparently as no strong r than thut for the recurltles. The only known reason for the de clining tendency wns the falling off In demand nnd the attitude toward the market, which has been sp-'ken of In past weeks en the part of the Seuth American interests, netablj these con trolling the Chile Copper Company. Apparently wmc one in the trade Is unwilling te permit prices te be ad vanced or even firmly held at the mo ment. There 1 considerably mere talk in the trade regarding this condition and net all the discussion Is of e eemi 1 mentary nature. It is contended opera tions at the Chl'u properties bine re cently been increased mainly for the purpose of discouraging the American products and preventing any censldera- , tien of possible increase in output , in this country. Aa a matter of fact, the le.tilir.c JlBteriean'cempanlcs are net likely te make any plntis ter enlarging- their op erations nt this time. Officials of the big producing organizations knew the situation and will net take step which may lend te any disturbance.
