GEORGE L. WALKERS
WEEKLY COPPER LETTER

TIE weekly copper letter of George L.
Walker says: Copper is in stronger de
mand and higher in price than a week
ago. Lake is selling at 231s to 2312 cents
per pound, and elecrOlytic has been sold
to the extent of millions of pounds at 5
cents. The market is not feverish, and
there is almost no speculation in the
metal. Consumers are buying for I'M
usually distant future dates One or the
largest producing interests reports that IL
has sold it's March copper already. This
means that the market is on four
months advance delivery basis. whereas
business is usually done on two or three
months account
The largest producing interests say that
they see no indication of any falling OFT
in consumption II anything, the tendency
is still toward increased demand, not
withstanding the abnormal price level.
Europe is buying great deal of copper
in this country, and steadily bidding up
the speculative &c. NJ. B." market in
London The latter grade sold higher
1iOn engineered by the Secretan syndl-
cate.
Representatives Of the largest produc-
ing. refining and selling interests express
the belief that this years production Will
show an increase of less than per cent
possibly not more than per cent In
asmuch as there IS a scarcity OF labor,
coke, coal or fuel oil in every mining dis
triet. while mill and smelter capacity is
everywhere oVeTtazed. there IS no pros
pect of any further increase IN produc-
ton during the coming six months. For
instance, should the two big concentrat-
ors now being erected in Salt Lake val
lev to treat Boston Consolidated and Utah
Copper porphyry ores, go into commits
sion in March it would be late June or
early July before the first of their prod
slct would come from the electrOlyuc re-
fineries ready for delivery to consumers
Leading authorities therefore believe that
the price of copper VIII be above . cents
per pound before the present advance
terminates.
Consolidation TumOrs have come TO be
important factors in the day-to-day spec
.IlatiOn il copper stocks. Strangely
enough, Lake Superior is the district
looked TO for coming combinations, and
dhe lake stocks which shared TO an eX-
fremely small extent in the activities of
the past few months are now enjoying
prominent place in public interest When
one remembers that Calumet < Hecla
was one Of the early consultations of the
lake district, that Quincy. Osceola and
Copper Range. the next most successful
mining companies there, were also formed
up through the combination of several
companies, il is hardly to be wondered
that new consolidation stories make
buying demand for lake copper stocks.
Newhouse's Cactus property has under
gone a most decided Improvement during
the past six months. and the conpanys
stock has advanced from around 81 TO
$40 per share. Large bodies of high grade
ore have been encountered Shipments
of smelling ore have steadily increased

most gratifying gain.
