COPPER INDUSTRY
 IN HEALTHY STATE
View Of the Present Situation
 Taken by an Authority
John Stanton Expresses Bullish Views on the Subject - Says the Large Production of the Metal Is a Healthy Sign and That There Will Be Larger Consumption.

New Ycrk, September 1.-John Stan ton. the prominent copper authority, expresses bullish views on the copper situation in this country. He differs from many other trade authorities in believing that the production of cop per is not increasing as fast as is the consumption, and that the admittedly large surplus accumulated in this ccun- try last December in the effort to hold up the price has been largely reduced.
 Tn speaking of the general trade sit uation today, he said:
 "I cannot understand why the news papers so generally take such a decid- edly optimistic view of the steel situ- alton and at the same time express such bearish opinions on the copper sit us tion. The increased production of copper is pointed out as a depressing factor, whereas in reality it is nothing of the kind
 "The output of both anthracite and biturnincus coal has largely increased during recent years, but no one ever hears the deduction drawn therefrom that this larger output is an unhealthy factor. The enormous increase in the output of iron and steel is matter of common knowledge, and this increase | is generally accepted as an indication of the prosperous conditions existing in | these two industries.
 "Then why should the larger pro- duCtion Q: copper be so generally talk | en as a depressing factor in this in- i dustry? The larger output of copper | is really healthy sign, indicating. as ! it unquestionably does that the con- sumption of this output is increasing along with the enlarged consumption | shown in prc ctically every other man. ufactured product. The use of copper is increasing. and is being constantly extended into new fields. During tho last ten years the output of copper has increased enormously. while the con | sumption has shown an even larger increase.
 "As long as the present general pros perity continues the consumption vii | continue to grow, and the production it is naturally to be expected, will con tinue to increase. Notwithstanding tn, larger output of copper this year anC the extensively advertised surplus stock on hand. the fact remains tha the market is not glutted, and the de mand and price continues steady.
 "It is undoubtedly true that a larg, stock of surplus copper has accumu lated in this country at the beginning of this year. In my opinion, however the larger consumption has not onl. absorbed the increased production
 turned cut since, but has also cate
 into the surplus stock. It is, of course impossible to say just what percentag of the consumption of copper has in creased and how much the surplu stock in this country has been reduced According to my sources of informa
 tion here and the advices I receiv
 from abroad. the consumption has in creased more than the production.
 consider the copper industry at tn
 present time in a decidedly health
 condition"

The an- swer fer the securities company and MT Hill sets up all matters of the de- fense. and the railways in their plead ings simply follow the securities com pany answer, with some changes of phrascology, as required by their di- verse characters.

 The defendants deny that the North crn Securities company ever conducted any business in Minnesota CT had any place of business or owned any prop erty in the state, and that the railroads of the property of the Eastern Railway company of Minnesota are operated by virtue of lease to the Great Northern Railway company.

Newport, F. l.. September 1.-Ad- ter the declaration of hostilities today to cut out work for the jackies and ma rines Of his fleet, accomplishing by daylight, but under cover of fog, two things that General MacArthur's army had anticipated. These were the seiz- ure of Martha's Vineyard and Block Island and the capture of the army's signal station at each place.
 Tonight he followed up his good work by a demonstration in force against the extreme western end of the line de- lending the Qualifications. but it cannot be determined until later if he really attempted to force his way into Long Island Sound or simply to give his crews some big gun practice and his captains an opportunity to maneuver within striking distance, to determine the location and caliber of the ord nance in the forts.
 The navy's night attack was not eX- pected at the western end of the line quite so early in the game. Once to- night Newport got a scare. when a message came from Port Judith that the marines were being landed there in q fog. All communication with that point is cut off. Then at 10:30 came an official bulletin announcing the bombarding of Fort Mtchie and Fort Wright, but when the Point Judith signal station was again in touch with the central intelligence bureau it was explained that the signal men there were given drill in the saving equip ment in the supposition that the enemy
