in all industries where it is used, and every consumer ought to realize that the current level of values is not at all likely to continue permanent feature of the copper market. Once normal consumption is restored in this country the home demand will be so heavy that the non-exportable metal available will command different val ues from those now prevalent. Europe has become used to monster shipments from this country, and when trade abroad expands European consumers will want plenty of American copper
 The bulk of the United States produc- tion in recent months has gone to for eign countries, and the situation here is in position to prove susceptible to de- velopments along the line of domestic consumptive demand. It is reasonable to expect bright era of business and industrial activity again, which will communicate strong and buoyant tone to copper. The building of electric railroads and the more extensive em- ployment of electric energy on a wider scale than ever are matters for future attention, and these will create great CT demand for copper in the future.

.OLD DOM|N|ON'S
 BETTER OUTLOOK
SHOULD EARN s9oo,Ooo ON A PRO- DUoTIoN OF 4o,Ooo,ooO POUNDS THIS YEAR AND PAY DIVIDENDS IN 1908.

Old Dominion is receiving good deal of attention from eastern writers on the coppers, and the opinions ex- pressed are uniformly favorable. Old Dominion is now classed among the re- liable copper producers; good for an output of 3,5O0,000 pounds of blister copper monthly, and in position to increase its production to 5,000,000 pounds per month, as soon as industrial conditions warrant.
 There has been some discussion of the probable cost of the copper produced by Old Dominion and recently it has been claimed that the company has reduced the cost to l0Ia cents per pound, which we believe would be considered one half to three quarters of cent too low. The production for seven months was only ten thousand pounds shoft of 2l,000,000 pounds and with good luck during the next five months old Do- minion's output of copper for the cal endar year 1908 should approach 40,. 100000 pounds. Should the company receive an average price of 1925 cents for it's copper, and figuring the cost conservatively at | cents per pound, Old Dominion would realize S900,000 from the years operations, of s3 per share on 300,0OO shares.
 On basis of 60,000,O00 pounds pro duction next year, II cents cost and l5 cents as the selling price, which is not unreasonable, Old Dominion would earn $2,4O0,000 or sS per share.
 The management of the Old Dominion has every expectation now that the company will be free from floating debt before this year is out. This will leave the company with a fair working cap ital and clear the way for the payment of dividends.

 IN STOCK MARKET
NO TIME FOR NEWS or DAY AND REACTION FROM REGENT BULL MOVEMENT CONTINUES, BUT SHARP REBOUND IS FELT.

NEW YORK, August l2.-The back CTS of active operations in the stock market were too much occupied today with various devices of leadership and manipulation to pay much attention to the news of the day. There was ,e- action in the price of copper in the New York Metal Exchange after su"rcssi ye advances of a fraction at time for many days past. Copper warrants in London were also lowered. This added to the feverishness of the shares com panies connected with the industry, which had been in a highly nervous state ever since the sensational stage dcveloned in the Boston specul tive campaign.
 There was a decline in silver to lev el lower than was touched in five years past, incidental to the influence on the group of mining metal stocks as a whole.
 American Smelling, Amalgamated Copper and National Lead violently were affected by an early break in prices today, followers of the movement being convinced that shake down un- der careful control is designed by the reaction yesterday and early today. This led to strong rebound.
 Bonds were irregular.

The advance in the price of copper metal, both at New York and in Lon don, contributed substantially to the better feeling, and in trade circles it is generally believed that the copper in. dustry has at last turned the corner and IS once more on the upgrade. There is an excellent investment de- mand for high-class bonds and more friendly feeling toward American se- curities is developing abroad. The polit. ieal feeling toward American securi- ties is developing abroad.N The political situation has not yet developed suffi- ciently to exercise much influence and is not likely to become a factor until MT. Bryan's letter of acceptance has been published. As predicted in this column, Bryan s reply to the notifca ton committee yesterday was temper ate. The lion roared as though he were sucking lamb. The majority of commission houses continue to take a favorable view of the outlook for the stock market, hut report very little increase in outside business up to the present time.

Frequently a radical rise in stocks induces profit-taking bu outside and foreign holders, but on this occasion realizing has been noticeably absent. The majority of European investors did not rush into this market immediately following the panic, but preferred to wait until they were satisfied that some thing resembling order had been re- stored, and having made purchases of cound securities they are electing to hold them for more or less permanent investment. Throughout this country also the belief is so deep-rooted that prosperity must return, if not next month, well, next year, that those who purchased securities lower down do not feel disposed to sell out, since they argue that they would merely be com pelled to pay more later on to refill their strong boxes.

COPPER PRODUCTION
 2YEARS COMPARED
Fell Of Nearly 5o,0o0,o0o Pounds in United States Last Year
 Arizona in Lead.

The department of the interior, United States geological survey, has is- sued an advance statement of the coun- try's production of copper in 1907. The output is given as s6s,996, ,49l pounds. This is decrease of 4ss09, ,49l pounds, or 5.6 per cent, from the record figures of 1906, the largest actual decrease ever recorded and the largest relative de- crease since the American copper in dustry became important This is the first time since 1901 that the annual production has been smaller than that of the second proceeding year.
 In the following table the copper pro duction for 1907 is apportioned to the states in which the copper was mined. The total is made up of the fine copper content of blister produced and of the shelter output of ingot and anode cop per from Michigan. The production for 1906 is given for comparisons
