GREAT INDUSTRY IS THE RED
 METAL.

No one industry has in recent years shown developments which compare with those in copper mining. A dizzy level of prices has been reached without any effort to hoist prices; in fact, dur ing the earlier stages of the rise, there was a determined opposition to it on the part of some leading producing in. tcrests.
 Tho copper trade has good reason to dread any artificial forcing upward of values after it's experience with the old Sccretan corner and the disastrous boosting of prices by the old Anal. gamated management. While it is true that there are in copper mining large nggregations of capital controlling each an important share of the industry in the United States, Mexico and Canada, yet there is no trace whatever of what is often SO glibly called n "trust.'
 No one of the great producing inter ests can alone swing the market, as
