single year to the United States there
are now seven which have in a single
year shipped more than that amount.
United States Production.
According to the Copper Pro-
ducers' figures, the total production
and imports of copper for the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1910, amounted
to 1,43S,269,S59 pounds. The gov
erment figures for imports for that
period were 247, 996,57O, or 17k per
cent of the amount, showing the pro-
duction in the United States for that
period was approximately 1880, 000,-
900 pounds of copper.
For the fiscal year ended June 80,
1911, Copper Producers figures for
production and imports were 1,460,-
514,617 pounds and the government
figures of imports were 26S,183,621
pounds, making United States pro-
duction for that period approximately
1892, 100000 pounds of copper.
These figures are only approximate
as there are differences between the
government figures and the Copper
Producers owing to different
method of reporting but they are
similar enough to be striking.
For the two years the production
of the mines in the United States was
approximately the same, the increase
being wholly due to an increase of
100000 900 pounds in imports.
In 1911 the Netherlands bought
more copper from the United States
than was imported from the seven
leaing nations shipping to US. In
1908 it took O,OOO, 900 more pounds
than all nations shipped to us.
France in 1911, the third largest
customer, took all the copper import
ed from Mexico and Peru, the two
largest nations shipping to us.
Comparison of these figures with
the production of the United States
by states compiled by the geological
survey is interesting. The total i'm
ports last year were $1,000, 900
pounds less than the production of
Montana and $4,000, 600 pounds less
than the production of Arizona but
exceeded the production of any other
state.
Exports to the Netherlands We're
%. 100000 pounds more than the
production of Michigan but less than
that of either Arizona or Montana.
Germany and the United Kingdom in
the last fiscal year took practically
the entire output of Arizona in the
last calendar year. Total exports
were nearly equal to the total pro-
duction Of Arizona, Montana and
Michigan. France and Italy took
the production of Utah and Cali
fornia.
At July 1, 1907, the foreign visible
supply was 27,457,520 pounds after
exports of Ala ,046,463 pounds DUR
ing the year preceding. At July 1,
1911, the foreign visible supply was
157,185,2S0, following exports DUR
ing the year of 7~92,051,164. Dur
ing the four years exports increased
100. 900 pounds.

There was exported from the
United States during the last fiscal
year 1000, 900 pounds of copper for
every day in the year as compared
with 100000 pounds per day in
1903. Imports in 1911 were only
20, 900, 900 pounds less than the total
amount exported in the fiscal year
1902.
The value of exports in 1911 was
1000, 900 less than in 1908, al
though exports in the former years
were 10000, 900 pounds less than in
the last year. The value per pound
of both exports and imports was less
in the last year than in any year of
the period under review.
During the years 1903, 1904, 1906
and 1907 it will be noted that imports
averaged las, 100000 pounds a year
while for the last three a they
have averaged about 245,000, 900
pounds.
Effect of Prices.
When the price of the metal was
about IS cents in 1903, 1904 and
1905, exports increased rapidly. When
it went beyond that point they de-
creased until the metal reached high
figures, the falling off in two years
being $4,000, 900 pounds, or nearly
80 per cent.
With the return of prices to a nor
NAL level. exports again increased
20 per cent in a single year and since
that time have been maintained on a
higher level than before until in the
last year when metal was the cheap
est, they were nearly double those of
1907, when the average value of ex-
ports was 21.45 cents per pound.
On the other hand when the price
of the metal was around 10 cents in
the years 1903, 1904 and 1905, i'm
ports were stationary put with an in
crease in the price of the metal, they
increased to nearly 00,000,0 900
pounds per annum and then declined
with the price of the metal. From
that point, however, the similarity
ceases and in the face of a steadily
declining metal market, imports have
increased until they made a new rec
ord in the last year.
sources and Destination.
This fact gives interest to the ac-
complaining table showing destinat-
tion of exports and sources of i'm
ports for the last seven years. The
Netherlands and Germany have al
ways been our largest customers.
France and the United Kingdom have
a|lternated in third and fourth places.
Prior to 1906, Russia bought more
copper than Italy but since hat time
the latter has taken more, although
China took more than either in 1906
and 1906. The Netherlands, Ger
many, France and the United King
aom were the destinations of 50 per
cent of our exports in 1903 and Sc
per cent in 1911, showing that there
is little variation over a period of
years in disposition of our ex-
ports, although periodical buying
such as that by Russia and China in

ANNE'S
INFATUATION

When my friend Agnes Hughes died
she left her daughter Anne in my care.
Agnes, though we had been intimate
friends. was older than |, and she was
still young at her demise. This brought
me midway between her and her
daughter. When assumed the care Of
Anne she was sixteen years old and l
was twenty-six. 1t was very pleasant
for both OF us that we could be com
panionable.
Anne was good girl, and had no
trouble with her whatever for two
years; then. she being of a marriage

man, Frederick Darlington, nearly dou-

Darlington well enough to marry him
or not She usually confded all her af-

matter that led me to believe she had

to keep him away from Anne, and |
