large, especially since the close of hos
tilities with Spain. Stocks in Europe as
well as in the United States at the close
of the year were unusually low. there
being practically none in sight. As
consequence, copper has been making
very rapid advances and it has been
rather hard to keep track of it for the
past two weeks or so. l should say that
16 cents is a fair price for copper today
and that represents the highest figure
reached in many years. Consumption
is so large that it looks, too, as If u
higher figure will be obtained
1.-The popularity of copper's position
is that during the last few years of
depression the production has constant
ly been increasing and yet consumption
has carried 1t all off. European stocks
have been steadily declining until now
they have reached the lowest point ever
known. The electrical industry is very
important factor in the copper business
and it's need of copper is growing great
wherever railway or other construc-
ton is going on there is always a large
demand for copper in the form of brass
and a variety of other articles. And as
the electrical business advances by
leaps and bounds. it is no easy matter
to tell what quantity of copper VIII in
this way be absorbed.
Now that a betterment in business
generally Is being felt in a great slim
illus has been given to the opening OF
new mines and development of copper
properties. 1t is apparent that the eG-
listing mines have not capacity to fur
nish the quantity that will be needed IN
the Sear future. Companies with good
prospects of becoming producers find
that their shares are eagerly sought af-
ter and it is the general belief that for
some time to come copper mining viii
prove profitable.
"A good deal has been said on the
subject of a copper combination. 1t Is
quite possible that a combination OF
certain interests may be effected. but
as to a general combination or one be-
tween the very largest producers, that
is simply absurd. 1 don't think there IS
any foundation for it at all. Some
groups of mines have tendency to con-
solidation, being owned and controlled
by practically the same men. but where
interests are very distinct it would be
difficult to arrive at any basis by which
consolidation could be carried out equ1t-
ably. In my Judgment there is no foun-
dation for stories of general copper
trust or combination.
cat present there is no difficulty in
selling copper at good prices. Every
thing that is offered is eagerly taken up
Those who have to sell must look upon
the outlook as highly encouraging

LIE BARON BOBS UP.
Will Not Have His Short Canal Route
Sidetracked Without a Struggle.

Cleveland, O., Jan. 25.-J. Francis LIE
Baron, formerly an engineer connected
with the Nicaraguan canal, who a few
days ago announced that he had dis
covered a route for the canal which
would cost $22, 0O0, 900 less than any pro-
posed and which he claimed the COM
missioners refused to consider, has
written a statement in which he says in
part:
MY attention has been called to a
published denial from a member of the
Nicaragua canal commission of my as
sertion that I had offered to go to
Washington and explain my proposed
route to the commission. Such denial
coming from a member of the commits
sion is unaccountable and 1 can only
explain it by supposing that the mem
Der to whom I wrote failed to bring the
matter to the attention of the COM
mission.
when the commission was first ap-
pointed 1 wrote to Prof. Haupt, mem
Der of the commission, and not only
offered to go to Washington to explain
my proposed line, but to go to Nicara-
qua and point out the proposed line on
the ground.
Moreover, I have a letter in reply
from the member named. asking me to
disclose the location of the line by let
ter, to which 1 replied that was I'M
willing to do this, as 1 looked on the
matter entirely from a professional
sell and did not ask or expect the gov
eminent to pay me any commission or
large bonus, 1 considered 1t no more
than fair that 1 should be paid for my
time as an engineer and if the commits
sion called me in consultation and L was
able to indicate a line straighter and
more feasible and that would affect a
saving in the cost of constructing the
canal of S22, 900, 900, or even half of it, L
would expect to receive a suitable fee
