COPPER METAL
SITUATION BETTER
Adolph Iewisohn NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
age of Supplies of Year Ago
Will Soon BE Repeated.

Adolph Lewisohn, president OF the
United Metals Selling Co., is quoted
by the Boston Financial News as fol-
lows:
The copper metal situation is de-
cidedly better. have been in the
metal business for 40 years and my
experience tells ttat we are now pass
ing through the worst times that cop
per the metal will see for long time
TO come. Copper is not as badly OFF
as other lines of industry, because 1t
has gone through most drastic pc
riod of depression and is now on the
mend. \ year ago there was an alb
solute shortage of copper and today
conditions are approaching the same
point The surplus that accumulated
on this side has been absorbed by
European buying and while those
purchases have not perhaps all gone
into consumption as yet, as would
be indicated by the large visible sup
ply reported in London cables, it Is
moving that way slowly and before
any increased supplies can be ac-
cumulated here it is my belief that
the demand will be sufficient to alb
sorb such production. There is
bound to he return to a natural
level of consumption of copper in
America within the next few months.
The consumers are bare of supplies,
and by consumers | mean the users
of the manufactured article as well
as the manufacturers themselves. The
present dullness In the trade may
continue and the price of copper may
work nominany and sentimentally
below the current quotations, but
eyentnally-in a month, six weeks or
six months-the Improvement in
general business will change all this
and there will be a demand for cop
per that will keep pace with produce
ton.
Asked as to the effect upon the
Butte mines of the entering OF the
low cost producers of Utah. Nevada
and Arizona into the producing class,
Mr.. Lewisohn said:
The fears expressed in certain
quarters that the Butte mines will
suffer eclipse through the putting on
the market of the low cost copper
from Utah, Nevada and Arizona re-
minds me of the agitation among the
metal men % years ago. when their
circulars were filled with dire prog
nostications because the Anaconda
mine would flood the market with
copper and add millions of pounds to
the annual supply. The additional
supply. as 1t turned out, was easily
taken care of by the demand. !
think it will be the same with the
coming onto the market of the prod
net of the Nevada Consolidated,
Cumberland Ely, Utah Copper, Miami
and other low grade. low cost copper
properties. The normal increase IN
the demand for copper for electrical
and other uses IN this country and
abroad will use up the increase IN
production.

LITTLE FLORENCE
LEASERS WORRIED.
Have Until April 20 and No Chance
for Renewal or Extension.

GOLDFIELD, April Another
good shipment was credited TO the
Little Florence Monday. Seventeen
sacks that were estimated to average
$1,000 a sack, was taken out and de-
posted in the vaults of the John 5.
Cook bank. The ore shows free gold
and in the breast of the drift, hair
way between the 400 and 50o-foot
levels, is four feet of high grade and
one foot of 1t is the kind of stuff that
runs at the rate of $40 pound, ac-
cording to statement of the officers of
the company.
The lease has only until April %
to run and the management Will
have to get busy to remove the ore,
as there is no chance for renewal,
owing 10 differences between the
Florence Goidfield and the Little
Florence Leasing company precluding
the possibility of an extension. In
fact, another company which will
build on different lines, expects to
get the lease. out the conditions of 1t
are liable to be different from that
of the old lease.
The Little Florence shareholders
nave hYt peeh receNin6 'ne s.eaus
dividends promised and are getting a
little anxious to find the reason why.
If the stories given to the press and
published in market letters can be
borne out. Ii was represented dur
ing the labor troubles that tied up
all the mines a few months ago, that
something like $500 tons of ore had
been piled up on the ground and that
conservative ectimate of its value
was $3.50 a ten or gross value Of
$625, 900. When the returns were
received 1t was found that there was
less than half the reported tonnage,
with gross value of about 10 per
cent of the estimate. Stockholders
know that the mine contains much
high grade ore, but are frightened on
account of the short life of the lease.

The Western Nevada, Mason Valley,
Yerington Malachite. Mcconnell and
other mines are grouped together,
providing the most tempting propo-
sition imaginable for a gigantic mer-
ger of interests. There is much 60
ing on at Yerington that the world
does not appreciate, among which be-
ing work at depth and experiments
on the ore to discover the most like
ly means of concentrating the milling
grades of rock now being blocked
out. The coming summer should be
full of good news from this part of
Yerington.

NEW YORK. April 1.-THE stock
market enjoyed a considerable peri
cd of strength today. but gave evil
dence during the latter stages Of the
advance of a reaetionary tendency.

In number of usually inactive
stocks and the rather erratie jumps
which were forced in these gave the
market an artificial aspect which be-
got a spirit Of caution in following
the movements The professional
element is proyerbially suspicious OF
the passing of activity into this class
OF securities because they are usually
the last resort OF manipulation TO
sustain prices after the capacities OF
the more active issues have been mad.

The anticipated coming of the fleet lis

who have to do with arranging for tn ,

assume it's full share Of this total
