From the above table il will be seen
that Belgium alone imported less copper
from this country during the year. EN-
ports TO all other countries were substan-
TALLY larger during the current year than
In 1910. The shipments TO France were
more than 20,000 900 pounds in excess OF
those made last year while those 10 the
United Kingdom were more than 10000 900
pounds larger than in 1910. Shipments
direct to Germany were approximately
l2 600. 900 pounds larger than in tho cor
responding period last year. but Il very
large proportion Of the copper exported
to Rotterdam found its way TO the great
German consuming ccDtors Rottcrda IN

There is no indications AT the present
