COPPER OUTLOOK
 BY METAL SELLER

Misha F.. Appclbaum, president of the New York Metals Selling cumpa- ny, recognized asan authority on cop per and other mineral products, takes an optimistic view of the copper mar. kct, in a comprehensive article in the Mining and Scientific Press. iIc says:
 The year 1907 proved as sensational in tho copper industry as it did in the world of general finance. Against the most flOurishing conditions exist ing at the beginning of the year, dcmOraliZcd state of affairs prevailed in October and November, and it was not until q week 0rao before the pres ent writing that the copper market showed resumption of activity and hopes were felt for q substantial though gradual Improvement
 At the end of 1906 it was the gen. eral opinion that the stocks of copper were very small and that q good bus. mess would result during the first half of 1907. Copper continued to ad- vance from the closing price of 2i cents until q level of about 2G for Lake and nlcctrolytic brands had been established. The subsequent history of the market for 1907 ia simple one. During the first half of the year a good business was done in copper; then the American consumrrs with drew from the market, and d general m In,,rnuJi,,,, Il made itself felt, they were not tempt ed by even the heavy reductions in official prices and thus the market declined to 25l tO 22, then to l8, ID, and 13ia, and finally sold in October as low as l2 cents. Just at the height of the financial panic little squirt occurred in copper and this carried the price up to l5 cents, but with the approaching holidays, during which most of the American consumers closed their mills for q week 0, ten days for the purpose of taking invent Ory, and their refusal to mako com mitments before money became cagi- CT and revival of confidence took place, copper agaln saggcd down to 13 cts. Though the official quotation was 1924 to 13ccnts, it was practically impossible to obtain copper at that price, and some of the American con. sumors having large orders under i3 cents and being unable to obtain the metal became rather nervous and in- creased their limits with the result that on December 2i the only copper obtainablc was for December and January delivery at 'i3Sa and i35u for February. Beyond that it was prac. tically impossible to obtain copper at around these prices.
 A gool many criticisms have been directed against ono of tho leading companies for the manner in which prices were held and broken, but if should be remembered that no one foresaw the panic and therefore it is my opinion that the decline in coppe, has also been one that no one G6uffl foresee. There is also good deal of talk as to the amount of copper stocks in Europe and on this side. do nc

At the beginning of the year 1903, the official sub port of entry on Prince William sound was Orca, now known as Cordova, but the deputy collector of customs, John Goodell, had his of- flee in Valdez and the customs busi- ness of the sound was transacted from this point. In February, however, Valdez was made support of entry and F. B. Spicrs appointed deputy collector, and the office at Orca was discontinued. The chief source of revenue at this support is from the duty collected on coal imported from British Columbia.
