fall in the price of the metal is at

The most important development
of a favorable nature is the decision
of the German government to resume
the coinage of silver on scale that
will call for 100000 ounces of
silver annually for the next five
years This will absorb 10 per cent
of the total amount of silver that

The National Conduit and Cable
ca under date of April 20, makes
the following remarks respecting the
situation in copper from the stand
point of the consumer:
The Improvement in the copper
market noted few weeks ago was
not maintained. and recent declines
have spread feeling of uncertainty
again. A portion of the copper
bought for China shipment recently
was offered for resale, and these OF
ferings coming ON a dull market, a
general weakening of the whole posi-
ton followed. Competitive efforts TO
secure orders remove all doubt con-
corning the tendency of the market,
and to our mind the supply OF cop

ton. Until consumption increases TO
at least 80 per cent of normal. we
must expect these periodical attacks
of weakness to develop.
II is perfectly apparent TO those in
close touch with the consuming trade
that demand needs TO be eoaxed and
encouraged If the consumption Of

sumption of consumption on a scale
that would place the entire copper

What is needed at the present
time is a campaign to encourage de-
mand and increase consumption, and

METAL PRICES AND PROSPECTS

The situation in the metal market
at present is peculiarly sensitive to
rumors. good or bad, for the reason
that so far mis- year the consump-
tion generally has been less than
1907. says the Mining World. In sill
Yer prices have been ent TO point

May | the quotation was % J. cents
per fine ounce. which is the lowest
since December last. and when COM
pared with the high of 20 i cents on
January 8. 1907, shows a reduction
of In cents per ounce. Imagine
the money loss to the producers of
some 56.000,000 ounces per annum
in this country alone.
The dominant factor that caused
the slump in the price of silver is the
heavy curtailment of consumption in
India-the largest buyer in the
world. The shipments to India so
far this year show decrease of near
" 100 per cent To offset this in a
measure is the revival in demand
from China, which, however. at latest
account, has resold an appreciable
quantity of its imports of silver.
Hopes are entertained that China 5
industrial expansion Will eventually
create an unusually large demand for
silver for coinage purposes
The copper situation has been
made more interesting by the early
initial production of the low grade
mines at Ely. and the preparations
for more active mining in other sec
tions of the country Meantime cop
per prices, in the absence of any
large demand. are weak, and on May

12s to Il S for casting. Compared
with the quotations on the same day

One reason why copper prices have
been cut so deeply this year is the
heavy falling on m the domestic de-
mand. due principally to the financial

feeling among the larger consumers.
