FOREIGN VISIBLE COPPER
SUPPLY IS DECREASING

a still further decrease is noted In the
foreign visible copper supply on May Is
as shown by the London fortnightly re-
ports. There was on hand on May Is
1890 tons. a decrease Of 3l09 tons in
the past two weeks. The foreign con-
sumer therefore. as usual. Is buying COZ
per wien 1t is cheap. and as for the
domestic consumer. the following item
from the Walker Copper Letter is
apropos
The demand for copper is strong all
over the world except in the United
States. Deliveries here indicate a falling
of IN consumption this year as com
pared with last. OF between 16 and 90
per cent. Electrical interests cannot
understand this apparent depression as
their business is excellent Brassmakers.
however. say that IN their opinion con
sumption has decreased considerably
more than 90 per cent. Thus a decided
change in The general tendency of metal
consumption in this country Is brought
10 light. A year OF two ago the brass
business was declared to be good and
the wire mills were then running to only
60 or 20 per cent Of their capacity. Now
the brass business Is dull. some factories
running only four or Ave davs a week:
but the electrical manufacturers are do
ing splendid business. and all the wire
mills arc turning out as much wire as
rt any previous time since the 1907 panic.

DECISION BROKE THE
THICK ICE COATING

James A Pollock G. Co, bankers and
brokers, furnish the following. received
over their private wire yesterday:
Paine. Webber e Co.. Boston.-The
decision OF the supreme court apparently
broke the ice and relieved the tension
that has been causing the dull
favorably received and will do much TO
create confidence In the welfare OF our
industries. All through the session, mar
ket was broad and active with sPecula-
tion gradually increa sing. Stocks are
cause higher level We advise buy
ing the standard stocks for a good rally.
Logan Bryan. Ney York.-Judg
ing by the action of the stock mar
ket today. not only domestic but also
foreign interests were rather favorably
impressed with the outcome OF the Stand
ard on case. This is not to say that
the fact that the company was declared
to be a combination in restraint Of trade
caused any enthusiasm, but the fact that
taton OF the Sherman antitrust law in
its application TO the present forms OF
cooperate organization did cause con-
siderable satisfaction among those inter
something In the above respect on which
10 base their future plans and calcula-
tions: II is true that large part OF
the buying during the session was at
.tributed to the demands of short inter
est but in addition there was a large
amount of outside buying, that is, rela-
lively speskIng; especially by those who
anticipated rather sharp declines. at
least during the early trading. on which
they had hoped 10 make commitments.
But in view OF the uniform strength
displayed it became necessary that the
buying be conducted al a higher range
Of prices than expected. Washington
reports indicated that legislative action
might be attempted by those who viewed
the dissenting opinion In the trust case
as being entitled to greater considera-
ton than that of the majority but OF
course such talk was not taken seri-
ously at this early date.

COPPER MERGER
IS NEXT STEP
Better Regulation of Copper
Industry Is Deemed Certain
by Producers.
DECISION MONDAY
HAS PAVED THE WAY
Is Only Commodity Lacking
Basis of Protection for
Its DevOtees.

II is the consensus Of opinion among
the copper mining fraternity OF the state
that ii there is to be merger of cop
per producers. as the press has been talk
ing so hard and so long, it is certain
TO be expedited by the United States su-
preme court decision handed down In
the tandard OIL case or Monday, IT is
the belief, however, that all negotiations
to such consummation will be held up
until the decision in the Tobacco case
is forthcoming. and this is expected vet
this month
OF all the important commodities pro-
duced, copper alone stands without the
pale OF regulation, The producers all
along have been proce edng regardless
Of each other, or until the time OF the
curtailment policy at least, and the con-
sumner mas had the best Of the argument
throughout For an industry worth so
many millions of dollars per annum some
sort OF regulation certainly is deemed ad-
Viseble. or at least some mode Of pro-
cedure absolutely legal and within all
rules by which the meta! can be pro
duced or disposed of according to the
law of supply and demand.
one prominent engineer stated yester-
cay that no such combination as the
United States Steel corporation can be
formed as far Is copper is concerned
There are, 70 use his words too many
heterogeneous elements involved in cop
per prmuction to permit OF the forma
tion OF such controlling unit as the So
called eteel trust. He expects some sort
OF combination TO be formed. the details
OF which uaturally are stiIl unde ternrined
but come 1t Will and. perhaps. within
short 'imc.
He believes there will be room for the
small producer. 100. and the small fellow
Will reap the benefit of improved condi
tions IS readily as the big fellow. A
wiser regulation ri copper production
means improved prices which win result
TO the benefit OF all. In the growing
tendency to make smelling organizations
come within the public service rules and
obligations will lie the salvation of the
independent producer in case n too
drasti attempt be made to force the in
dependent man out OF a market for his
product. Future developments in this
matter are expected TO come thick and
last a:d they are bound 10 be interest
ing.
