EASY TO EXPLAIN
COPPER'S ADVANCE
Copper Consumption Is To
day at Its Highest
Known Point.

Boston. Mass, Jan. st IS now easy
to estimate as TO the 1911 copper sta
tistics.
Production should amount to about
43O,OOO.OOO pounds, compared with l.
452,000,OOO in 1910, a decrease Of %
OOO,00 pounds IN production Domes-
tic consumption viii amount to about
us, 000, 900 pounds against 749,OOO,0O0 in
1910. a decrease of S6,00O,OOO, but eX-
ports for 1911 should amount to about
100000 against lzz,0OO,UOO year
ago, an increase Of 2S,OOO,O00 pounds
and consumption figures viii take in
a reduction OF about 1O0,OOO,OOO pounds
in the visible supply IN 1911 making
total consumption 1858. 100000, or 133,-
O00. 600 pounds greater than production
These figures are sufficient eXplana-
ton for Is cent copper There is more
or less skepticsm as to the real
strength of the situation. but II is be-
Heved every possible effort has been
made 10 prevent speculation in copper.
although there was no way to prevent
speculation abroad, by reason of the
extensive trading in copper warrants.
Consumption Of copper today Is at
the highest point ever known. and ev-
erything points to a still greater in
crease. In fact there are authoritative
estimates OF 10 percent increase in
consumption in Germany in 1912. and
Notwithstanding 1912 is a presidential
year. consumption Of copper in this
country should show a very substan-
tial increase over 1911
Copper men are inclined to look for
Is cent copper I'm the not far distant
future, and any such price viii be bas-
ed on a legitimate condition now exist
ing in the copper metal market with
THE leading producers sold two and
three months ahead.
The copper metal situation shows
still greater strength both in This cOun-
try and abroad. Several Of the largest
agencies have withdrawn from the mar
ket at "A IA cents, having sold all the
copper at that price they cared TO-
Leading London copper firms are ad-
vising the purchase of the metal at

WOMAN BURNED ID.
 DEATH IN CLIFTON
Ten Residences Also Con- stunned; Lighting a Fire
 With Kerosene

CLIFTON, ATiz., Aug. 13:-One of the largest conflagrations in Clifton for several years occurred here, re- sulting in the death of young wo- man. serious injuries to one man and the destruction of ten dwelling houses. The fire occurred on Shannon Hill, in one of the houses in the Mexican sec ton The blaze was started by a young woman, who attempted to light fire in a stove with the aid of kero- sene. Upon the application of the match the young woman was soou a mass of flames, and the ignited fluid spread over the floor, instantly set ting fire to the house. The woman was taken to the hospital, but lived only a short time. The flames from the burning house were soon com municated to adjoining dwellings and, although an alarm was turned in, the water pressure was inadequate and the efforts of the fire fighters proved unavailing After raging for
 several hours the flames were brought under control.
