The statement of the Copper Pro-
Queer Association was somewhat of a
disappointment inasmuch as it show
cdFan Increase of stocks of the metal
last month of 2.036534 pounds. While
there had not been entire agreement
beforehand as to what the report would
show, the rather general opinion in
the trade was that a small decrease
In stocks would be recorded. Notwith-
standing the expansion of stocks it
was pointed out that the showing pre-
scented several encouraging features.
The domestic deliveries in October
showed a gain over September of a.
254,462 pounds and the total figures
were the largest of any month since
records have been kept. The move
ment of copper out of the country
was also satisfactory showing an in
crease of 6.1S3,461 pounds. The total
consumption in October consequently
made gain over the previous month
of 20,437,923 pounds, which exceeded
slightly the big increase Of consump
tion which made the statement of last
July so notable. Stocks above ground,
while larger than i'm September are
lower than they were i'm June, May,
April, March and February of this
year.
The International Smelling & Re-
filming Co. was formed less than u
year ago and paid its first dividend
three months ago. The funds from
which dividends are being paid are
derived from the company's invest

PAINE. WEBER G. co.'s GOSSIP

Advice to the effect that the initial
mill test to be given 10 tons of Lake
rock apparently will yield so pounds
of mineral is rather extravagant
prediction and is not entertained by
the directors best posted concerning
the property. A Boston director says:
THE test which is to be given 10 tons
of Lake rock will be made from ma
tcrial taken from the third level north
and south but even then this win not
be factor. The figures may show
too large a recovery to be maintained
or too small a recovery as properly
representing the average of the mine
My expectation is that the mill will
show between As and so pounds of
mineral per ton, which would indicate
refined copper contents of about 80
pounds or IL per cent. Any state
ment to the effect that the Lake mine
will show an average of so pounds of
mineral per ton is too absurd to be
entertained by any sensible people
AT the fifth level the mine is looking
as well as at any point above and at
this point the lode is SO feet wide
with both foot and hanging walls

at par. on this investment, Utah
Cons. is now receiving dividends 1T
the rate of $4,000 per annum. The
United Metals Selling Co. is also a
large stakeholder in the international
Co.
Since advancing it's price for cleo
trolytic copper to 1915 the United
Metals Selling Co. has made large
sales. Last week while the 13-cent
price was in force, enormous transac-
tons were booked and since the price
has been advanced II, there has been
no slackening in volume of business.
The demand comes from rolling and
brass mills, as both branches Of in
dustry have large orders on their
books and the outlook was never bet
ter. only the wire manufacturers
complain. The demand for casting
copper has brought it almost to a par
with clectrolytic so far as the price IS
concerned. The heavy purchases Of
copper metal for foreign delivery have
occasioned considerable comment IN
this side of the Atlantic. Merton a.
Co. have been the heaviest buyers,
their contracts carrying them through
November, December and January.

ment of the stamp mill returns, Of

ments of about 1870 tons per day are

though IL did not show any material
advance. Hancock continues scarce
and the market is practically without
any material offerings. Chief sold up
to sly. hut was offered freely at this
figure all day. Santa Rosalia buying
was again in evidence, and would
work higher. Ojibway was also we'd
bought and should show an advance
from present quotations. The New
York market was slightly stronger,
due TO the fact that money is a little
easier. The Boston market was more
active with Amalgamated the leader.
The copper share list seems to be de-
veloping a swing which may take

tee and upon him will devolve much
of the practical work of getting ready
for the big convention next year. From
now on the plans for this big gather
ing will be pushed vigorously and big
entertainment fund secured.
The Detroit Elks will give an enter
tainment at its meeting each week, and
the members hope to raise large fund
to be used for entertainment purposes.

STOCKS

The successful test of the Lake rock
brought flood of buying on that stock
this morning. OF course there was
more or less profit taking. The de-
mand for the stock continued all
through the session and toward the
close the price jumped n point and a
half to a new high record-41%. The
success of Lake has attracted atten-
ton to North Lake and Indiana. and
the floating stock of both is being qui-
city absorbed. Ojibway has been no.
tlceably weak the past ten days but
the selling seems TO be over and the
stock had a sharp rally toward the
close. Confidence in the coppers Is
growing every day and next week Will
surely show a broader and more ac-
tive market with sharp advances well
distributed throughout the entire list.
