The following from Copper Gossip
gives the foreign situation In copper:
The London market was advanced this
month to the highest level since 1907, and
speculative buying received a fresh impetus
on what is considered a favorable situa-
ton Consumers have also come In the
market with important requirements, and
additional orders for consumption are an
ticipated this month and next. European
consumption is much larger than last year,
and with heavier foreign deliveries the
visible supply abroad is contracting. Ger
man consumption for the first three months
Of this year is reported at 1895 tons, as
compared with 39l06 tons for the same
months last year, an increase OF 1928 tons.
The stock Of copper in England and France
and afoat thereto from Chill and Aus
tralia on May !, 1912, was 1911 tons. COM
pared with ll0,07 tons on May l, 1910, a
decrease in two years Of 60,436 tons. There
is, therefore, reason for the strong ad-
vices received from Europe lately, and II
industrial activity continues in England
ard on the Continent there will undoubted-
" be further reductions in the foreign
stocks of copper"

EXTRACTS OF COMMENT.

helerring TO the borrowing in America by
the Germans THE Financial Chronicle
says; "A renewed demand by German
bankers for American funds is attracting
active attention in banking circles at this
centre This demand has become quite in
sistent' and rates offered have been in in
stances as high as "a per cent for sixty
gay loans. This does not include guar
ahtee TO the lenders against losses in the
foreign exchange operations attending re-
payment; and as at this season a sixty
gay maturity is rather an uncertain pros
pect' so far as the foreign exchanges are
concerned, 5A per cent rate is not as at
tractiVe as 1t might appear on superficial
examination. In fact a number of loans
nave been negotiated on a Az per cent
basis where exchange has been guaranteed.
The high rate, therefore. is more signif-
cant as an indication Of the necessities Of
the German market than Of any particular
ly profitable banking operation on this
side"

The prospects for crop harvesting are
viewed as follows by Thomas Gibson:
Preparations for moving the harvests will
have to enter into the calculations also in

never in better shape to take care Of these
demands without assistance from New

this centre is therefore not likely to prove

in reference to the Panama Canal:

great benefits the Panama Canal opening
is confidently expected TO bring generally,
that three years before the actual opening,
the effect is felt measureably through the
preparations for the event. All industry
on the Pacific Coast is experiencing for

clared by competent authority that the
opening Of the Panama Canal will give
the coast lumber trade such boost as TO
