Production of Copper.

So far this year the United States has
exported over half its copper production
the exact figures being $50 per cent The
output has continued large having
reached during the five months ending
with May a total of Ssas long tons, ae-
cording 10 the statement of Mr.. John Stan
ton. statistician for the producing COM
p3nieS. This was an increase of 3.s4S tons
over the very large output of last year;
but the gain was little more than alb
sorbed by the Increase in exports. which
we're this year 81. 1913 long tons. or 3632 tons
more than in 1886 Our own consumption
OF copper has therefore shown no in
crease. but has remained about stationary
Notwithstanding the large quantities
sent from this country and The fact that
the production from European mines in
creased about l.seo tons In the first FIVE
months of the year. the stocks of copper
In sight have diminished. The European
consumption evidently continues very
large, as the supplies are all absorbed
without difficulty. That the demand Is
strong is shown by the fact that Inc price
OF the metal has been we'll maintained and
there is even. at the present time an
upward tendency. This is based entirely
upon the demand. for there has been this
year very little speculation In the metal
An enlarged demand from our own indus
tries could be met only by further in
crease In production.-En ard
