THE A FETAL MARKET. ■REASON FOR RISE IN COPPER. Australian and N.Z. Cable Association. (Received February 2fi, 11.35 p.m.) LONDON, February 26. A leading authority on the metal market attributes the rise in copper to the fact that the consumption in America apparently exceeds production while Go■vernment stocks in Britain ana tho Contineut are almost exhausted. Manufacturers have not covered forward requirements to any extent. Increased consumption appears probable and may lead to an advance in tho prices, but big producers are anxious to end the artificial restriction of the output which existed so long, therefore they may prefer to keep prices at the present level.
