COPPER BUYING NOW
IS INCREASING FAST
Very Satisfactory Condition in
Red Metal Is Reported
From the East.

NEW YORK May 30.-The lull In the
buying of copper which followed recent
liberal transactions was accompanied by
a weaker undercurrent. small speculative
interest and lower prices In Europe. with
slight concessions IN the domestic mar
ket. A radical change however. has de-
Veloped in tho last few days and, as usual,
preceding renewal OF speculative &C
tivitN, there has been nm increase IN 'he
number OF orders coming from dealers
both here and abroad. associated with an
other effort on the part of consumers 10
obtain supplies before the next ADVANCE
which, it is assured, is being prepared.
Larger buying orders are expected to 40
into the standard market before the first
of the month, which VIII again carry inc
sharply. depending upon the strength of
the movement That IL is expected TO
be radical is evident from the large pur-
chases made within the last few days for
export; orders have ranged from 100 tons
to 1000 tons each. most of the buying for
export being for June md July delivery.
The buying In the domestic market has
covered June 10 September. most OF the
Inquiries being for August and Scptem-
bcr; but producers, as much az possible.
have forced buying for June and July. as
there Is still considerable copper avail
able for nearby. Domestic buying de-
vcloped somewhat higher prices, especially
for late delivery. August and September
sold as high as 1S.20c to l2ic, delivered

but less than so per cent or what II was
In 1905. In Europe consumption during
the first five months has been from 40
TO so per cent 'of what II was in 1905.
On the other hand production Of Amcri-
can copper continues at record rate so
that production IS exceeding consumption
~ the rate of 80 600. 900 pounds a month.
Deliveries, however. on both domestic and
foreign account are being made at the
rate OF full output, and II is claimed even
that there will be n slight decrease OF
producers stocks this month. Yet this
shifting OF surplus supplies docs not ais

Increase In the European and American
stocks OF 200, 600, 900 pounds since the first
of January; that is, in The hands Of pro-
ducers, dealers and consumers, TO say
nothing OF spectators. The supply of

SMYRNA Fio..

Smyrna tigs ripen by the beginning
Of August They are not picked, but
when they reach certain maturity
they begin to dry, and consequently
they drop on the ground. In the morn
ing everybody on the plantations goes
around with buckets gathering the
fruit, which they carry to a certain
place where the ground is covered
with dry leaves and straw (sergeD
and on which they spread the fruit,
exposing 1t to the sun, allowing 1t to
remain there from tOo to three days.
1t takes about three days to dry the
fig II north winds prevail, as the at
mosphere is then very dry. If, how.
ever, westerly winds are blowing.
which means heavy dew at night, the
fruit must remain exposed to the sun
from five to seven days. This is a
dangerous period, as raiHo or even a
shower might ruin HUNDREDS of tons of
fruit lying on the ground Heavy dews
sometimes are just as detrimental
The proper atmospheric conditions to
insure crop of large, sound, rich figs
ARE west winds in June and July, fol-
lowed by north winds in August, and
from then on an occasional west wind
every five or six days.

Fresh Water From the Ocean.

Manama, the principal port of the
Bahrein islands, the center of the
pearl fisheries, gets its fresh water
from the ocean. Visitors often note
boats anchored a few hundred yards
from the shore, the boatmen engaged
In drawing fresh water from springs
at the bottom of the sea. These springs
well up strongly at considerable
depth, and the entire water supply
OF the town is obtained from them.
The fresh water is procure@ in two
ways-either in goatskin water bag,

Wonderful.

Two sailors noticed that shark was
following their ship. Not knowing
how to get rid Of 1t, they threw a
chair overheard.
The shark swallowed this, but still
followed
The sailors then threw a box of or
anges overheard to 1t.
The shark swallowed this and still
followed.
The men seemed completely beaten
for a moment what to do until one of
them said that those on board should
draw lots for who had to satisfy the
shark.
1t fell to an old woman. So the sail
ors tossed her overheard, and the
shark ate her at one bite.
This did not content the fish, which
still followed. So the sailors harpoon-
ed 1t and dragged 1t on board.
On opening it they found to their
surprise the old woman sitting on the
chair selling oranges three penny"
