COPPER IN THE LEAD

The Western Mining World says
During the past three years no
shares of any kind of enterprise have
shown TIE remarkable and steady in
crease in values that the copper shares
have. During the past year and q
half eight of the leading copper stocks
have increased over S5O,OO0,000, and
they have increased more than S2O,-
100000 during the past six months.
The total par value of their capitali-
zation is $l6,OO0,00. The koths-
childs and other big capitalists Of
Europe have agents exploring the
entire western continent for copper
properties and large number of
Elglish brokers and operators have
their American correspondents work
ing up copper mines or blocks of
stocks in such properties for invest
menC purposes. The ownership OF
ell the American copper mines is in
the hands of very few people, and
less than 100 American copper mine
owners control the worlds market
for copper. The demand for the
metal is greater than the supply, the
total visible stock on hand Was never
SO low as now, and would be exhaust
ed entirely in two or three mouths if
the supply was stopped in any way.
AS things are atsPIesent it looks as
though the world needed copper more
tha gold. It is predicted that cop
Fer will sell for l3 cents before Jan
uary l, 1899. 1t is being produced
at tctal cost of less than half that
figure"

AN ENCOURAGING REPORT.

Dun & Co.'s report for Areuss Is
highly encouraging. It says:
August, usually an inactive month,
rolled up an enormous volume OF
business and recorded the smallest
failures recorded in any month for
the past five years of this country's
commercial history.
Trade conditions in leading indus
rries are strong. The improvement
in the iron industry especially IS
impressive.
Wool sales show a falling off 1t
is believed the market will not l'etter
isself, until the holders views weaken
somewhat.
Railroad earnings show large gain
and securities OF ali sorts are advanc-
ing.
The export demand for both ag-
ricultural and manufactured produce
tions is good and increasing; imports
III ailer, showing large balance in
favor of this country.
In Southern California the August
trade tone was better than was looked
for in year when the balance of
trade has been decidedly against this
section.
The orange crop is practically
moved and the returns from It's l5,-
600 caaloads tend to make times

years crop is reported unfavorable.
There is loud demand for lemons;
With the fruit scarce prices are strol 6
and steady.
The canneries are busy with he
peach and pear crops. Prices range
from $50 to $40 ton owing to short
crop.
Prune drying has commenced.
About one half an average crop is
reported.
The grape yield is not large and in
some sections the fruit runs small.
Wine makers are preparing for the
crushing season. Prices will prob
ably range from 81 to SO per ton
Raisin drying continues, fair out
pat is expected.
Although the beet yield is short,
the factories report the sugar and
purity Of the crop high.
Bee men have lost.
Dried fruit market is Indifferent, a
condition of affairs difficult Of expla-
nation.
While it cannot be denied this
season has given us a combination of
trying circumstances. business has
not been affected to the degree feared
and reasonable fall rains will Ering
every confidence for the prosperity of
the coming year.

things have been going for that tel
