The principal bill which has been
paid since the annual meeting is
one for printing the booklets which
were gotten out ready for distribu-

Merchants and Manufacturers Associ

these booklets have since then
been distributed, and any member
desiring can have one or more as
they may have use for at any thine.
In this connection l desire to state
that great deal of material has
been gotten out for circulation. One
of the most prominent of the publ
cations gotten out by the Club con
tains a complete map Of the city,
and as there are a great many OF
these on hand, anyone who has not
received one can have one by cali

The assets of the Club on hand
consist of a roll top desk which was
purchased at cost of 1000; the
filing case which eos $500; an
arm swing chair which cost $500; a
waste paper basket which cost
s1.00; lithograph plate for print

COPPER METAL
ON firm BASIS
SURPLUS STOCKS NOW SMALLER
THAN AT ANY TIME SINCE
PRODUCERS ISSUED
REPORTS.

The 23,O00,000 pound decrease in tn
surplus refinery stocks OF copper il
l this country as shown by the January
report of the Copper Producers asso-
| citation established some records pleas
! ing To the producers and owners OF
copper shares. The conspicuous fea-
/ lures Of the statistical position OF cop
per are as follows:
! The American surplus is now al
/ the lowest point since the Inaugural
ton Of official monthly statements.
THE foreign surplus is within 10
| coo. 600 pounds of the low point.
8-Worlds surplus makes a new low
record tor this period, and is FOR the
first time below 20O.OOO,OOO pounds.
The American surplus now stands at
&C. SO0,O 600 pounds and represents but
two weeks supply at the rate which
domestic deliveries have averaged the
past two years.
The foreign visible supply, the
amount held i'm English and French
warehouses are afloat thereto stood
at 12i.4OO.OOO pounds Feb. ist
This brings the worlds surplus down
TO 100. 10000 pounds, compared with
40l 100000 pounds July /, 1910.
4 remarkable feature Of the foreign
situation is that there has been but
one month during the past twenty-five
that the surplus stock in Europe have
failed TO show a decrease. and the in
crease in this month, September 1911,
amounted to only $4,000 pounds.
The worlds surplus has now been
more than cut in halves. and at $780,
600 600 pounds represents less than
months consumption, as the world is
now using mp about 100000 pounds
