American copper is now conceded to be lho
hest In tho world; md although only about one~
third tho worlds supply IL produced hero, tha
copper rado Chilli is still far ahoad OF Us. but It's
export trado il now on tho decline. From 1868
to 1907 tho yield IL thia country averaged about
1b,o0o,00o lbs. Since that time It haa greatly
Tho French profor American copper for certain
purposes, md IT. ofton commands premium OF

England is 30 near. Tho exports to France last
year e n bnto, 1efos 5 thS t9
1000, 900 tbs. England oxports to this country,
but prices arc now too low horo to mako it profit
able with tho prcsent tariff. Tho Lako Superior
