 SALES PLANS
United Metals Selling Com pany Has a Great Deal Less Copper Under It's Control During This Year.

The breaking away from the United Metals Selling company of the Amer ican Smelling & Refining company and the establishment by the Guggen- helms of a new copper selling agency which has taken on several contracts was the most important change made during the past year in the manner of selling copper, says the Boston News Bureau Through this change the United Metals Selling company lost about 60.000,000 pounds of copper a year, which, however, was partially made up by the acquisition for a sin gle year of the handling of the Utah Copper company's output. This con tract is expected to revert next spring. however, to the American Smelling & Refining interests, as the Guggen- helms are largely interested in the Utah eompany's stock.
 The settlement of the differences arising between the United Metals Selling company and thu America Metal company over the Greene Con soiidated contract in favor of the for mer was fortunate thing for that concern. for had the selling of this copper reverted to the American com payn by virtute of an agreement en- tered into between this agency and Colonel Greene before the latter lost control of tn Greene company, the United company would have lost the selling of 45,o00,000 pounds year at the present rate of the Cananea pro duction The American Metal com pany has made contracts with three nv properties, the most important of which was that entered into with the Imperial Copper company, which is now turning out at the rate of S9,O00,- 900 pounds year, but which will shortly double that output. The oth- CT two contracts were with the Doug las Copper company, which has made a few small shipments, and the Giroux which has yet to start its mill and smeltr
 The selling of the Orford Copper company product changed from the American Metal company to the l.. Vogelstein agency and the American also lost through the shutdown of the plant approximately 10,000,000 pounds a year from the Teziutlan company of Mexico. Before the blowing in of it's own smelter, the Imperial company had its product treated by Phelps, Dodge & Go, which firm also sold the copper L. Vogelstein & Co. took on the Orford company and the Tintica output, which comes from the Tampa smelter The Arizona Smelling, Bing ham and Britannia properties being closed down, this agency thertby lost some few million pounds.
 Handling of the Mountain Copper company, which is now down to 1000 900 pounds per annum from 30,O00,- 600 pounds a few years ago, is done by Jardine Matthewson & Co. rather than by Vivian Bond & Go. Charles Rant of New York is the selling agent for Calumet & Hecla and Victoria Copper company, Vict President Liver more of the former corporation, how. eryer. has direct charge of the com pany's sales
 The New York Metal Selling com pany, while having no contract for disposing of any individual copper, handles about 30,000 900 pounds year. some of which is obtained from other agencies and some from pro dueers which sell direct. There are also a number of large foreign metal selling companies which are instru- mental in importing large amounts of copper, which are generally in an un- efined staee. A recapitulation of the disposition of copper produced by the mines of this country, Canada and Mexico is found below:
