COPPER METAL SITUATION.

The copper situation Is discussed at some
length in the Bachc Review Of May H.
a deduction IL drawn from the present
position Of copper metal which is interest
ing, follows:
The copper surplus has been cut In two
in half year. and is down from 49,, 900 90
pounds six months ago 10 $4,000 pounds
by the last repOrt-Only few weeks sup
ply. There had been "A lull I'm buying await
ing the Copper Producers statement. which
was published on Wednesday. This was
expected to show an increase in stocks on
hand and in production. which 1t did. but
not apprcciably or more than expected
Copper consumers are not steady buyers
with them it is activity all together. or
everybody quiet. This lull In the demand
has allowed prices TO sag little. and It IS
a good thing The course of production Is
now well regulated, and tho large interests
without actual combination are able to
keep things steady. II the price Of copper
were advanced 10 IS cents. as II might
easily be. the tendency would be TO ac-
celerate production unduly.
AS usual. the European consumers OF
copper Ike the European consumers Of
'DtNpl, l'iN' I'hSll lar dIl' az lpl Nll'II re-
quirements The stocks on hand among
our domestic consumers are light. and this
is shown by the large domestic deliveries
during April, amounting to 90 $1,000 pounds
figure which has been exceeded but
twice. This demand from domestic sources
has shown encourag ing increases during
the last three months. Had II not been for
the decline in export deliveries. the surplus
stocks would have been very much more
largely reduced by this time. The falling
off IN exports has been due 10 the English
labor troubles. and as the effects Of these
clear up the foreign demand is beginning
t. increase, with prospects of greatly ac-
CELEBRATED pace The lull over here referred
to above Is already being broken, and there
is evidence that another large buying
movement has begun"

PRODUCTIONS on COPPER srLrHATE FOB

Much Of the 1905 production remained
unsoId and vas carried over into tn" 1893
season. which accounts for the decrease IN

uroducc four tons OF copper sulphate, the
amount of copper entering into these 136'Wo

yearly. the equivalent of 5000 tons OF cop

year was around $1,000 tons, and in 1870

March 1912, amounted to 81 $50 tons which
is around 1900 tons more than the previous

important Issues Which Affected
Sentiment and Prices.


Just ended affected the prices Of securi-
| ties on the Stock Exchange. The gov
eminent crop report. the copper pro-
| ducers' report. the labor situation, poll
tics. the report Of untitled steel tonnage
! by the United States Steel Corporation
and the municipal bond sale. all reflected
! in the movement of prices.
The government crop report probably
was the most widely important Of the
! developments of the week. While tho
news when received was rather more
promising than had been expected, ow-
ing 10 the generally Unfavorable reports
| Of abandoned acreage and diSCOuraging
conditions. the situation as regards the
winter wheat crop is certainly not good.
! The May ! condition Of 79.1 per cent is
the lowest I'm ten years, with two eXcep-
| tions, and the abandoned acreage is the
largest ever reported. There is no ques-
ton that We shall face short win
ter crop hut the abandoned acreage, to
a much larger extent than is generally
acknowledged, will be replanted and re-
sown with corn and oats. which will ma
| terially assist in reducing the average
harm which otherwise would follow i
short winter wheat crop.
The copper producers report is taken
by many as a favorable indication. when
analYzed. Copper experts have reduced
| this report TO common ANALYSIS where
an explanation seems simple enough
The explanation is that the stevedores
strike in Baltimore tied Up between 3
cocoon ard 100000 pounds Of copper
which had been sold for export. They
claim that this copper should have been
included in the exports. but that techni-
! callv II does not appear at ell. From
that rojnt Of view It would seem the in
creas., III copper stocks shoud really he
| q decrease.
The political reflection on business. and
! incidentally on tie market. cannot be es-
/ tlmatod as important. The picture Of
contest which might he drawn during
ordinary years Of political campaigning
cannot he used and tho present Will not

STRANGE "AIR" WELL is
FOUND AT MONTICELLO.
Roar of Wind Can Be Heard for Dis
lance of 400 Feet, But No.
Water.

Monticello.-Much interest has been
taken in the wonderful flowing well,
into which the artesian well being
bored on the Partridge Addition has
developed, and many town people,
travelling men and tourists made daily
trips to the spot, just southeast Of
town. A depth of ISL feet had been
reached when suddenly a great rush
of air was heard, which, though five
days ago, had not diminished in vol
ume of pressure or sound. Hats and
many heavy articles if put over the
well are blown away to great dis
lance, and the drill pipe is cleared of
all mud or lime when it comes in con-
tact with the rush OF air. The roar
of the current can be heard at dis
lance of 300 feet. The boring is be-
ing continued and other phenomena
may occur.
