COPPER SALES
 ARE MADE NTH
 F FREQUENCy
Supply of Metal Very Small and Would Be Absorbed In Few Days Of Active Buying Demand.

CBy c. L. waykeF in Boston Com
 mereial,
 Copper is fraetionally higher. Lake is 1A to 14 Is cents, and eleeCrolytic is 14 cents per pound. Sales are be ing made at these prices, and domes- tic consumers are buying more freely than at any time previously since last June. The easier money market and the more settled state of business con. ldence are responsible for the i'm provement. There is still some for. eign buying; but the consumers oi Europe were pretty well supplied bs the heavy purchases they made at low prices in October and November.
 The surplus supply of copper is now very small A revival in general busi ness would caHse it to be absorbed in few days of active buying demand Production dcesnot equal consumption at present. It would be a long and difficult undertaking to resume oper ations h Butte, Arizona, Mexico and Utah; and by the time the flow oi copper from those districts begun to reach the market, production would probably be considerably in excess ci consumption.
 While the worlds business contin pes its present state a portion of the mines will have to remain closed down. Or producers must consent to kaccanulate a large surplus The
Bisbee daily review., 1908-01-26

consuming interests could not take care of the full volume>of production from all the mines now, no matter whether the price was 13 cents or 20 cents per pound.
 The metal market is sure to con tinue more or less fictitious and un- satisfactory until general business re wives. It is quite possible, however that this may come about before the end of the present year, provided there is no crop failure For two or three months to come the mar ket for copper will be very strong, be cause of the scarcity of supply. and it is quite possible that the price will advance to IS cents aud perhaps hign- CT.
 n last weeks letter I advised the sase of stocks on ssrcng rallies. This advice still holds good The exgreTe strength of the market has been part ly lues to good r-N irs.yJng ss,I partly to the forced covering of short ac- counts. A great many bear traders overstayea the market and some of them are still short. Two or three bear brokerage firms have been forced to assign. The reduction in The Amaigamated dividend precipitated a new avalanche of short selling.
 Tsis bear selling at a time when the supply of stocks is very small makes it possible for bull traders to marx up prices with profit, bnt it does not make a bull market. The general recovery in prices unquestionably has been more rapid than the Improvement in business conditions warrants. Rail road earnings are declining very sharply and business Is almost at 8 standstiIl in many lines. It will take the country considerable time to get back to normal conditions. and in the meantime reactions in prices should occur.
 This has been the usual January advance. due sharply to the reinvest- ment of approximately $200, ,000, ,oo9 oi interest and dividends- was talking about this advance month or two ago and urging readers of these let ters to buy every copper stock on the list from A to 2. There has been 9 splendid advance, and now when the market is strong, think profits should be taken. expect to see prices lower before the end of next month.

COPPER QUEEN

The past week has seen a great amount of work done towards the changing and improving of the sur face equipment of the Copper Queen company, and it is apparent that the slump proved to be a benefit as the changing of the system of hoisting the ores will probably be completed in advance of the time that was first planned, while the ore production at the present time is almost normal
 The 200 foot steel smoke stack on the new power house has been com pleted and is now being painted. Two of the 425 h-p boilers have been bricked in at the power house, and the third will. be finished within the next couple of days. The two large compressors, which have a capacity of $500 cubic feet of free air per min ute each, have also been erected. A machinery man is now here, and will commence the work of erecting the steam turbine tomorrow. Attention is also being given to the completion of the condenser circulating system.
 Orders have been placed for large portion Of the gable-bottomed ore cars, which will be used on the electric haulage system underground. transporting the ores from the diff ferent shafts to the Sacramento. They will be delivered April 15. An order has also been placed for the belt conveyor which will form such an important part of the new system of hsndIing the ore. It will be deliver CT about May This belt will carry the ores from the Sacramento shaft 4,, D1,fhA kl5htnh ;ey of p ched, and after that to the railroad cars, where they will be sampled and distributed. The new electric pumps es sHiall capacity which will replace the large steam pumps now in use during sev- eral months Of each year will be de livered about March l. They will be of 3e0 gallons capacity each, and three of them will be used in the Czar shaft. 4 station is now being cut at the 400 level of the Czar, and the stump enlarged. This work will be completed about the time the pumps are delivered.
 The railroad spur co the 53eFamen- to shaft s<ound the hiH is being pushed rapidly ahead, but t1ere stiI remains considerable amount s4work to be done The railroad engineers believe the spur will be snished April 4S

The mines produced gold, real money, but this had to be minted. It was held in the form of ores which had to be smelted to ex- tract the precious metal. President Roosevelt was right to let the troops protect the mining companies. It was the very best thing for the working men, too, and this Is clearly evidenced by the way the latter went back to the mines as soon as they were shown they would have protection.

c. AND A. SHELTER

Activity continues at the Calumet and Arizona smelter. Four furnaces are in commission and according so report, the output for January will be near the maximum production for any month since the plant was put in operation. No. furnace is now undergoing needed repairs after a continuous run of a few days more than one year without ever being cooled, record which is considered ramarkable among smeltermen. When No. is repaired the intention is to put it into commission, thus increas- ing the number Of furnaces to five. one more than ever before operated al one time, Two more large en- zines remain to bs put in place in the
 new powerhouse It is not known just when the fifth furnace will start, but 1t Is expected to be going early next month With the installation Of the fifth furnace and the completion
 of the installation of machinery in
 the pogerhouse the next work will
 be that of removing the conveTrer stands, according to plans, to the south side of the shelter building. thus giving room for the two new furnaces which are to be constructed.
