The London Mining Journal says that
there Is a new field for the use of copper,
now being opened in the sheathing of iron
clad ships with copper. II this plan is car
ried out to any great extent 1t viii cause a
demand for copper that will make million
aires of some Of our citizens who are inter
ested in copper mines. That journal says;
1--WE lately referred to the fact that the
oldest firm In the copper trade had apparent
ships with copper plates (as wooden vessels
used to bel, to prevent the fouling of the bot
toms, a most serious detriment, more especial,
ly when long voyages had to be undertaken.
The Admiralty having taken up the matter
it is likely to lead to very important results
to those interested in copper mines. On the
present condition of trade, our contempo-
rary, the ST. Jdmess Gazette, made the fol-
lowing important remarks few evenings
market Of late Is In entire contradiction to
the teaching OF experience. At the end OF
September last year the visible supply OF the
metal was 1895 tons; at the END OF last
month 1t was only 4O s28 tons. In the twelve
creased creased nearly lear 5000 tons, or about Is per Ct.
Nor is this all. The visible supply has been
decreasing for years At the end OF 1850 it
was 60,610 tons, at the end OF 1881 1t had
fallen to 90 5ss tons; year Later i was only
creased to 1852; but at the end Of Septem.
Der, as already stated, 1t had fallen to "a. .s23
tons. or about one third less than at the end
OF 1880 Yet, strange TO say, the price of

the visible supply has diminished
In the twelvemonth but Is per cent, and
over Is per cent. There can Be but one
explanation OF such an extraordinary phen-
omenon-foroed sale. When they pome to

fThe date OF the opening of the Exposi-

ing the ceremony until the 10th of December
has already been explained through
