THE PRICE OF COPPER
Present Values Are Not Fictions and
 Will Be Maintained.

Some of our contemporaries in Eng land and on the continent of Europe are inclined to resent the present high price of copper, and to attribute 1t to speculation in the United States; and especially to what they call the control of the market by a single interest. They consider, moreover, that the price can be brought down if purchasers for consumption will hold back their or ders. Such is the advice given by some prominent foreign journals but it is based on a mistaken theory altogether and will not-indeed it cannot be fol- lowed. for very substantial reasons. The most important of these is that many British and continental manu facturers have accepted this theory and have for months past held back, buy ing. only for their immediate needs, and making no contracts for the future. Most of these people now find them selves practically without supplies and with orders that must be filled; and they are compelled to buy at the prices now prevailing, which promise to rise to a still higher point before fall can be expected.
 We have several times pointed out the great increase in the consumption of copper during the past three years and the causes which made this in crease much greater than would Ie- suit simply from the general activity of trade. It is not necessary to go in to these again in detail: briefly speak ing they are the great extent of new electric works, the large accumulation of war material by all the leading na- tiCns of Europe, and the activity in ship building. The first and second causes continue to operate with full VigOr. The quantity of new electric work undertaken seems to increase in stead of diminish, while the demand for war material, apart from its con sumption or destruction in South Al rlca and China, is also on the increase There is at present a. temporary cessa- t!on in activity in ship building, but we do not believe that it will long con- tlnue. when we consider that the eX- 1stlng demand for ocean tonage exceeds the supply, and that high freight rates must necessarily stimu,aIte the demand for vessels. On this side of the water, indeed, ship building is very active. Thus the main sources of demand for copper show no indications of falling off in the immediate future, and much can be said of the minor uses of the metal, which are extending and in creasing rather than diminishing. The substitution of other metals for copper in construction, especially in electric work, has made but little advance, for reasons which We have frequently in,li- cated.
 While there has been some specua- ton here, as would naturally be the case in such favorable conditions. it has not by any means attained the pro portions which foreign writers attrib- ute to it. The narrow control of the market is also an overestimated factor The fact is that the recent advances in copper have been due chiefly to economic causes which admit of easy eX lanation; which are still in opera tion and which are well understood by those who study the market carefully Engineering and Mining Journal.

CAP THIEF.
German Version of the Popular Old
 Game of Prisoners Base.

A new game, not unlike our o!d-ttme prisoners base. but differing sufficient ly t0 afford frC-i amuslm lment. is HOW popular with German boys. In Ger many they call it "NTutzenraud' but the best name here for it would be Gap Thief" Two lines are drawn O" stalled eff upon the ground siXty-tlVe paces apart. At a distance of twenty five p1ccs from one and forty paces frcu the c.her a take is driven. upon which cap is lulg. One boy is select ed to- act as umpire. while the others. the more the morrier choose sides and line up facing one another from the outer marks. Those nearest the stake are the thieves or robbers. and those farthest are police. At a signal from the umpire one thief makes a dash for the cap on the stake and one policeman advances at full speed to capture him. The former has to advance twenty-five paces. seize the cap and return with it behind his own line. The later has for ty paces to make before reaching the stake, but as he has not to stop and turn, they are about evenly matched. If the policeman succeeds in placing his hand on the shoulder of the thief be- fore the latter has crossed his own line counts one for the police. If he fails, he drops out of the game and the thieves score one. After all have Jri1d the side having the greatest numb Cf points wins the game.
