Br the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 31.—Copper future* opened in the New York Com modity Exchange higher by from 0.31 of a cent to 0.34 of a cent today following the advance of % of a cent in the price of the metal for immediate delivery an nounced by leading producers late yesterday and today. The new spot price of 17 cent* a pound 1* the highest since March, 1930. Lack of domestic supplies for quick delivery was the reason most generally given for the rise. Other commodities continued to ad vance in early dealings today. Cotton futures, which rose sensationally yes terday, opened from 15 cents a bale lower to 55 cents higher for the more distant options. Rubber futures were 0.7 of a cent to 0.14 of a cent a pound higher. In both cases foreign, trade and Wall Street buying was in widence. Rub ber, cotton, w'heat and non-ferrous metal futures were up in the English markets today. The rise in domestic spot copper yesterday, announced after the close of the commodity exchange by one pro ducer, came as a surprise to the trade, where lower prices were thought likely in the face of sharply increasing out put and a recent lag in foreign buying. The advance was followed later in the day by two other producers and by this morning all had raised their quotations. Copper fabricators also repriced to meet the higher new mate rial cost.
