MORE COPPER MERGER
DISCUSSION in EAST
The production

The production and consumption of
copper are now very evenly balanced
There is reason to believe that consump-
tion was larger than production until the
last December. and while the consump-
tion has fallen off some since then in
this country. the excess production has
not been large and would disappear alto
gether with the slightest improvement In
general business here. The Standard Oil
decision has affected the copper situa-
ton i'm two ways. IT has first Of all In
dicated better business and hence a
larger consumption of copper. so that
from natural sources alone there Is the
basis for improvement,
The decision. hoUeI or. has opened the
way for as close a merger as Will be
necessary 10 remove the element that
has steadily sold at declining prices. The
outcome will be "A victory for those who
have developed the new mines, inasmuoh n
as they must get prices that will mean
enormous profits but II will also be a
victory for those who have contended
that higher prices for the metal could be
just as well secured as not.
lust what the merger will consist OF
and Just what steps will be taken TO
place the metal market on a firlner basis
are not known. but enough is known to
convince those who follow the industry
closely that something of an impqrtant
nature will soon be announced. II Is oh
yjous that having as basis the ad-
vancing Of copper, the merger must bcne-
fit all producers. small and large alike
in proportion. The events that are fore
castcd In the copper producing world
promise all the incentive needed 10 bring
about an active speculation in copper
shares and TO the extent that the price
OF the metal is advanced there Is room
for an advance in stock market prices
bused OH increased values, which. In the
end, make prices.-Boston Financial
