COPPER IS GOING
TO EUROPE--HOME
BUYING STILL LIGHT

NEW YORK. May i.-The unusur
ally heavy exports of copper since the
Easter holidays have naturally at
tracted attention TO that part of the
industry. The heavy shipments, on
the surface, would seem to indicate
a greater demand for metal in for
eign countries. but IL is believed
that European consumers are not
only well supplied, but that stocks
are heavy, both visible and invisible
reserves. The consumptiye demand
has been relatively light. but there
has been some buying in both the
English and Continental markets in
lots ranging from 25 to so tons each,
and In several instances buyers have
taken as much as 100 tons each,
mainly for May delivery. but inqai-
ries have extended over several
months. As compared with the
amount of copper available, the de-
mand abroad has been extremely
light, and even II copper is being
consumed at the rate of 10000 tons
month of American copper alone,
the exports from this country would
indicate that the surplus abroad Will
have TO he increased upward of 20
600. 900 pounds during April.
Most of the buying in the domestic
market has been of small lots, but
one of the large electrical companies
has placed a contract for several mil
lion pounds. Exporters have been
in the market for fair tonnage.
mainly for May delivery. at prices
ranging from 12% TO l2A c I. o. h..
or Il X delivered 80 days. but small
consumers who have taken only from
one 10 two carload lots for interior
shipments have paid ~ u a 13e. de-
liyered 80 days. II is evident with
the small melting and light new buy
ing by domestic consumers, together
with the steady increase of output
and the larger imports within the
last two weeks. that April would con-
tribute large increase to domestic
surplus stocks. had not the exports
been so heavy; as il is. the surplus
has been transferred TO Europe in
stead of remaining in this country.
1t is understood that the larger in
terest-through a European agent
in accordance with prior agree
ment. has been making belated deliv-
cries against standard contracts; but
whether the reserve stocks abroad
are in the form of warrants or re-
fined copper makes small difference
in the ultimate outcome. The mines
of the Butte district are producing
copper at about the same rate as
during the latter part of March, and
IL is the intention of the Amalgamat-
ed company to keep production
down. About 5000 tons of ore are
being shipped daily TO the smelter.

Worlds statement that Mr.. cleve-
land is suffering from cancer and
that his condition is critical are un-
ayailing. owing TO the extreme re-
ticence observed by all connected
with the case since beginning of
the former presidents illness.
When Dr. Bryant, who has been
Mr.. Cleveland's physician for years,
was asked whether it was correct
that his patients illness had been
diagnosed as cancer of the stomach
he replied:
Mr.. Cleveland is all right. There
is nothing ! can tell YOU of any in
terest."
At the Lakewood hotel today ii
was said that Mr.. Cleveland was
making very satisfactory progress
and that there was no material
change In his condition The report
that the former presidents case had
assumed a grave aspect was denied.
Later DIR. Bryant said that he could
not as a physician make public the
diagnosis in the case of any of his
patients.
Il have received favorable reports
from Lakewood and | expect TO take

BLACK MEADOW MICE

Recent Investigations under the di-

ing the Carson valley to be seriously
menaced by a scourge of Black Mea-
dow Mice such as occurred In the
Humboldt valley during the past
winter-a scourge which resulted in
the total destruction of thousands OF
acres of alfalfa; in the loss of two
thirds of the potato crop,and in the
destruction of great numbers of
shade Il ees, aggregating. at careful
estimate. loss of no less than $3.50

The condition existing In Carson
Valley is alarming in the extreme.
The mice are present over the valley
in great abundance. and many alfalfa
fields are from 20 to so per cent de-
stroyed already, While such great
destruction of fields is at present
limited to certain ranches, unless con-
certed action in destroying the mice
Is taken by the ranchers. they will in

mer and nothing short of an epidemic
of disease among them will avert a
scourge. II has been well shown in
Humboldt valley that these mice

leave entire destruction In their wake
A scourge such as occurred at Love-
lock, means much greater loss in
