(International) Prices of Copper Expected To Decline New York (U.R) Copper prices are not likely to, rise from their near record high level in 1956 and indications are they will decline somewhat near the end of the year, a leading invest ment management firm said to day. 'Calvin Bullock, in its monthly business leter, said this predic tion stems from the fact that the tight supply of the critical me tal is being eased by a rise in the first two months of this year in both domestic and foreign mine production and a parallel ed decline In foreign consump tion. Domestic mine production during this period was up 5.7 per cent over 1955, and foreign mining operations jumped 23.2 per cent during the same per iod this year. Consumption on the other hand, the monthly publication said, fell by 9 per cent abroad. Domestic consumption, howev er, rose 23.2 per cent in those two months.
