One Of the great electric manufac
turing companies reports gross earn
ings for the year covered by the
statistics at over $33,0OO,00O. with
profits Of $4,179,0O0. This is the cleo
trio age for sure, and the experience Of
this one concern is probably matched
by that Of others. The demand for
electrical appliances in every form
was never greater, nor is there any
indication Of subsidencc. An interest
ing accompaniment of this Wport of
earnings is the government statement
OF copper production, from which 1t
appears that the output of the metal
for 1906 was sO6,591, 900 pounds, or
1S,000,000 pounds in excess Of the
amount in 1905. Production and con.
sumption Of copper are intimately re.
lated to electrical development, and
this country is foremost in both re.
spects. N
