To buy forest lands in any state en-

when water level is reached. The ore
carries good values in gold, silver, cop.

FUTURE IS BRIGHT FOR COPPER
TRADE.
Crrom Wednesdays Daily)


Never before in the history Of the
copper industry have the consumers NO
long stayed out of the market in the
purchase of supplies for future delivery.
While, of course, copper is being sold
and has been sold in fair volume for
some months, the manufacturer has
been reluctant to venture very far into
the future. and has seldom bought his
copper beyond 80 days requirements.
II IL now nearly nine months since cop
per has sold in volume for future de.
livery.
This can, Of course, mean but one
thing-that the supplies of copper in
the hands of domestic manufacturers
have been reduced TO the minimum.
This in not the situation abroad, how.
ever. The foreign manufacturer, al.
ways willing to take speculative
chance-at least more disposed 10 do
stocked up for months ahead, and this
explains in large degree the enormous
exports from this side in the past three
months.
During this period the foreign buy
ers have taken 200,000,000 pounds of
American copper, an amount about
equal TO the United States production.
While the raw copper supplies OF the
American manufacturer are on n rock
bottom basis, ais shelves are still piled
with manufactured goods made from
25cent copper, and these goods must
be sold on the basis of l4cent copper
This hurts, and IL operates to make the
buyer exceedingly cautious in making
commitments for more copper.
In time, however, this timidity will
wear away and the banker will give
the retailer who buys from the manu-
facturer reasonable time Of credit,
the absence Of which has done not n
little TO paralyze the movement Of brass
and copper wares during the past three
months.
A resumption Of activity among the
copper mills would find the producing
copper mine, the selling agencies and
the manufacturers themselves, bare Of
any accumulation, and any sudden
and concentrated buying movement
would be likely to advance prices
