Knox has already taken this step and
may be expected TO get as expert with

1t has been said of the premier Of the
cabinet that he can bet ON a bobtail

will do well to remember this in their

AND MORE BUSINESS
Is KNOWN TO EXIST
New York Sees Much in Situa-
ton Calling for Congrat-
UlatiOnS.

NEW YORK. MAY 23.-Thc most en-
couraging feature in the copper situa-
tion is tho Improvement in the greater
demand for finished products, such as
wire, sheets. plates and castings. Rail-
roads, trolley lines. power plants. nsula :
tors. electrical equipment manufactur-
crs and makers OF Other machinery have
bought moro generously OF finished ma
,erlal for the last few weeks; in fact.
the buying has been quite general by all
industries there being scarcely any i'm
portant consuming line that has not been
represented in the buying. and what is
more 10 the point is that there Is more
business of the same character in sight.
which means n further increase in the
output of wire drawers, electrical mn .
chinery. rolling mill products and brass
and copper castings for railroads and
nanufa curing Industries generally.
As a result, consumers OF copper not
only have purchased material to cover
contracts of finished material. but have
anticipated the Improvement in business
and purchased copper quite literally for
stock. at prices ranging from l23 cents
UP 10 1@ cents. This action of consum-
months the home smelters Of copper. In
the face OF contracting business, have
placed the burden Of carrying stocks upon
producers. The smelters first ceased buy
ing TO reduce their own stocks and then
purchased from hand -to-mouth until
there was business in sight 10 encourage
freer buying and prices were at such
n level as 10 insure little n any dcprcCia-
ton In stocks on hand. II there should he
a reverse In business.
From the producers returns II is oVi-
dent that the deliveries Into domestic
consumption during the last four months
have been about iS9. 100000 pounds, actual
consumption for the same period had
been less than l30. 000. 0pO pounds. so that
domestic consumers have accumulated
stocks OF about 80 600. mo pounds, or at
the rate OF about 5000. .O01 pounds per
month II may be that some OF this stock
is held by spectators,
The total exports, according TO The pro-
ducers statements. have been about 195.-
900. .00n pounds during III" first four
months Of this year, which varies about
y. 000. 900 from the metal exchange fig
ures The latter. being based upon the
or six davs late when the month closes
OF the 1870, 600, 600 pounds of copper sent
abroad Il Is estimated that about 30, .
000 900 pounds have gone into ware
houses TO await deliveries into consump
tion.
