DEMAND
Puts Brighter Look On
the Copper Metal
Situation.
NEEDS FORCE INQUIRY
Small Consumers Heard From
Otherwise There Has Been
Very Little Change.

NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE strenu-
GUS efforts being made by both do
mestic and foreign interests, caught
with either a large supply of the
metal or copper securities, to revive
the demand for refined copper is re-
sponsible for whatever life has been
shown recently. Outside of specula-
tive transactions, however. trading
has been of melancholy nature.
Those in touch with the conditions
in Europe report that foreign con-
sumers quite largely covered their re-
quirements for shipment up to the
first of the year-and in some in
stances during the first two or three
months of next year. Hence the slim
ulation given to copper recently
through the London standard market
has met with small response from
consumers.
The domestic market has been
based more upon the offerings of cleo
trolytic and lake copper in Europe
than upon domestic transactions,
which have continued light, and the
small lots that have been inquired
for have been held fractionally above
the London. equivalent. The one
bright ray that has encouraged pro-
ducers has been the larger number
of small inquiries from both domestic
and foreign operators for shipment
during various times over the first
six months of next year. There
seems to be a disposition, among
spectators at least, to prepare for
the time when the present industrial
depression shall have passed and the
curtailment of production shall have
been effective, but thus far business
has been small. From present indi-
cations the output is more than am
pie to meet current consumption, but
the heavy transfer of stocks from
America to Europe gives an appa-
rently stronger statistical position
here, or rather less weak position.
Latest reports are that production
has been decreased in Australia and
some other foreign countries by rea-
son of the heavy stocks now carried
of small consumption.
The increase in the number of
sales of small lots of foundry iron
which have been made in the last
week or two has been at the expense
of prices. 1t is not surprising to find
prices varying from 81 to 81 per ton
on the same grade. The market is
largely of a nominal character, but
from all indications there has been
a further decrease in consumption,
reflected in the blowing out of six
additional furnaces, four of which
are in the east. Foundries are run
ming only three 90 four days in the
week in many instances. 1t is esti
mated now that the production of pig
iron for the present year will be
about IS per cent of the normal out
put. At Pittsburg dullness still per-
vades the iron and steel situation.
There has not been one sale of note
reported in the iron and steel bust
ness in the last week. There has
been some shutting down of works.
AS yet there is nothing doing in the
matter of steel rails. The roads have
not placed their orders, and it is not
likely that they will do so for some
time.

HARTMAN AND HILA IN ACCORD

TACOMA, Nov. 30.-Evidence of
an understanding between E. II. Har-
riman and j. J. Hill is found in the
fact that their subordinates are now
for the first time negotiating for the
erection of a union instead of sepa-
rate stations at Tacoma and other
sound cities within Is months. By
that time the Union Pacific will be
operating trains to Tacoma from
Portland and Chicago. The Milwau-
kee and st. Paul will have it's trans
continental line finished to Tacoma.
The Hill and Hartman lines had
plans drawn for separate stations
here, costing 100000 each. Three
weeks ago the Hill road stopped ne
gotiations with the city council for
street excavations and withdrew its

NEW YORK, Dec. 3.-Never since
the first ship sailed out of New York
has there been anything like the
present exodus of emigrants from
this port Day by day the crowds
clamoring for transportation abroad
grow greater with no prospect of
their reduction in numbers. Last
week 10000 steerage passengers
were carried from New York: this
week steamship men say the total
will reach $4,000. The steerage rate
was raised from $21 to $31 in the
hope of staying the exodus. but with
ont avail.

In case such sale has been made
it means that the road will be rush

means a Santa Fe connection to the
South and eventually San Fran
cisco connection via Carriers and West
Walker, making necessary the build
ing of a line from Bodie to such a
connection, of about forty-two miles
of road. 1t also means that the road
will be free and independent of the

means growth and prosperity for

Fran Risdon Moore. a mining en-
gineer in speaking about the difference
between hole in the ground and a
mine says:
lone thing the people OF the United
States should learn Ia the differences
between a hole in the ground and Q
mine. Judging from the plumber who
are fieeoed in mining propositions
each year, there seems TO be little like
lihood that the lesson will ever be lean
ed. 1t is a strange thing that men who
would not invest their money in snoe
business or manufacturing concern
without knowing what the status Of
the busiess was will sink hundreds and
thousands of dollars in ABSOLUTELY worth
less.mining shares.
at may be the gambling spirit.
which il latent In all men. and active
In large number Of men, which
causes them to invest blindly in stocks
which may bring them fabulous veal
tn. There are others who invest mon
ey in good mining properties, but who
are unwilling to wait until the ore can
be taken from the mines. My exper-
fence is that men who invest with jud-
cement and patience can find no better
field than legitimate mines.
