Copper Gossip.

The closing month Of last year went
on record as the banner one for exports
OF copper from tbis country, the guam.
thy exported having been 92,956, l60
pounds. The only other month Of 1907,
or Of any month Of any previous year,
that approaches this in experts, is Mo-
Vsmber, 1907, when the quantity ex.
ported was 1854, $50 pounds. For the
last quarter Of last year copper exports
were altogether phenomenal, reaching
for the quarter he enormous quantity Of
224, 63l $50 pounds, equal TO about one.
fourth OF the entire copper production
OF this country for the entire year.
Again, IL you consider the exports Of
copper from this country for the whole
Year you have a still more extraordinary
preseniment. The total exports OF
copper from this COUNT, during the
,ear 1907 amounted to 5l1 ,133, 400
pounds, or considerably more tban one
halt OF all the copper produced during
the year. Neither the past nor the
present has anything TO chow that this
immense quantity OF exported copper
has gone iLto consumption abroad, or is
ia the hands Of the consumers. It is
almost twice rs much copper as Europe
can take from this coun ~ consume and
in twelve months, for it must be re-
membered .ha. Spain, norway, Aus
t%rala, Japan, Chile and Peru are also
exporters OF copper. Mention is not
made OF Mexico and Canada because
practically all the copper produced in
those countries M to the United
States and when shipped out is included
in the figuree OF this country's exports.
Germany is n large producer Of copper,
but that country consumes the greater
portion il not all, OF its product.
The question Of what the future has in
store Tor copper in this country resolves
itself into this: Do not be governed by
II belief that supplies OF the metal will
be so insufficient Re tn create q hunger
and a thirst after it causing consumers
tn bid against each other III nm effort 10
procure all that they think their manu-
factoring interests require, and as the
result OF such competition, sending
prices again skyward. There is not, it
ID true, any considerable surplua OF
copper in this country, none but what a
revival OF good business can take pare
II, but it is well TO not forget that
Europe, by reason OF the enormous
supplies received from the United States
during the last three months, is well
provided with copper for a good half
year to ome.-MininR Review.
