COPPER DECLINE IS
MATTER OF CONCERN

Salt Lake, April 5.-Coppcr is
quoted for the current week at 13
cents. a decrease OF 1-l6 OF a cent
from last weeks market. and 10 the
close students OF the game even such
slight falling OF in price is a
matter Of considerable concern
The Nows Bureau. Boston, is rather
optimistic on tho situation. however.
and reviews the month of March in
the copper world as follows:
Copper authorities are agreed that
the producers statement for March
will show about a standoff between
production and deliveries. or possibly
a negligible Increase in metal stocks
Production, which will be the most
vital feature. is expected TO show A
falling on OF about 200 900 pounds
day from January and a decrease
of approximately 475.500 pounds a day
from the record February per diem
production
Following is one estimate of the
March showing:
Pounds.

March production ..,..... 10000 900
Deliveries during March;
For domestic
consumption o.. 100000
For export ..ss..32 000, 900

On tho basis Of the above the stocks
In the United States April | would to.
tai l10,0oo.00O pounds. Small ex.
ports during the current month will
be the chief factor In preventing
stocks from showing heavy decreases,
since domestic deliveries are expect
ed 10 bo not far from January's high
record Of 100000 pounds. The
smaller exports, however, should
mean an improved position abroad,
and the more even balancing OF stocks
on both sides of the water will
strengthen the entire metal markets
position,
Only Moderate Stocks.
Al present stocks are too small in
the United States for tho rate at
which the metal Is now being used
stand an Increase OF $4,000 600
pounds here. and a reduction in the
foreign accumulation OF 25000. .0lO OF
5o,000,00o pounds would do much to
stimulate the foreign market.
In spite OF the large amount Of
metal being used In this country,
manufacturers report that they are
only moderately stocked Under pre-
sent conditions sellers are not anxi-
ous TO contract ahead for deliveries
farther distant than two months.
According 10 one member OF the
Copper PToduecrs' association, the
March copper statistics will show
much more favorably than most per
SONS expect This man estimates that
the producers export figures Will
show much heavier than the govern
ment returns. owing to shipments az
the end OF tho month. and places the
total al a minimum OF 10000. .0OJ |
pounds. with a probability of $1,000
300 pounds OF better. With domestic |
deliveries OF 70.000.O0O pounds the to-
al deliverits would be about 1885, |
100000 pounds. and II production falls |
10 100000 pounds as forecast, tho |
month Will show a shriukage In the |
United States stocks of about 1000 900 |
pounds.

clone had struck the valley. Hailstones
as large as hickorynuts beat down upon
the fruit and crops and did great dam
