Demand For Copper Instantly Increasing The Boston Financial News af ter briefly summarizing the copper market, says the demand for elec trolytic copper is reinforced by a heavy French demand, said to be for use in the construction of some of tho big Dew French battleships. A Chinese demand for large ton nages of electrolyte was also in the market. This copper (3, 000.000 pounds wanted), will be used for purposes of currency. These Chi nese mints have been working steadily on the stocks of copper that have been acquired, but it is reported that they will soon be again in the market for additional tonnages to meet their requirements for the next two years. One of the best informed Boston metal brokers says that during the past two weeks immense tonnages of electrolytic and other high grade copper have been placed. This tonnage is said to amount to 30,000,000 pounds. Loudon metal merchants report the strongest statistical position of the metal that has existed for years.
