BREAK IN METAL
ONLY TEMPORARY
Cessation of Buying Partly Due
to the Balkan War

The newspapers the early part oi
this week were filed with reports OF
a demoralilcd condition in the copper
metal market II is very easy TO he
sensational Let us see what the facts
and conditions are.
AS late aus October LIST The large cop
per companies were further sold ahead
tuau they had been in years and at
top prices. The Balkan War came on
with complete cessation of buying
in Europe. This however. did not
mean a cessation OF consumption in
Europe. but that manufacturers were
merely filing orders from stocks on
hand with no intention of replacing
supplies until absolutely compelled TO
10y completely exhausted stock as
tucy believe that the dragging out OF
thr peace settlement would lead To
such differences OF opinion regarding
tine metal market that some of the
larger sclliug agencies would make
material concessions to effect sales.
That Europe has carried this policy
to am extreme is shown 10y a further
decrease of 100000 pounds in foreign
surplus copper stocks tho first two
weeks ol January. bringing the amount
down 90 the lowest figure in over four
and ono half yoMs. Events of the
present week undoubtedly demonstrate |
that they were correct in their view. :
and that the desire of certain selling
agencies To make sales now quickly +
led to their cutting the price abroad /
on Monday morning, which cut was /
quickly met by the other largo selling
agencies.
While the first few days this did
not lead to any apprcciable sales, i
movement of considerable volume both
here and abroad, has taken place with

1Gi- cents the purchases being by

The copper market is very little

II is probable that the earliest wal,
paintings were those of the Esyp-
tians. Those people employed dis
temper containing dissolved gum and
their principal pigments were white
chalk, vegetable yellow ochre. Eth
opian cinnabar, blue powdered glass
stained with copper and charcoal
black. The walls OF Assyrian and
Babylonian dwellings were treated
in much the same way, and the prac-
tice was certainly in vogue in Assyria.

AMONG THE HEAVY EATERS
Remarkable Gastronomie Feats That
Are Hardly BelicvabIe, Though
All Authe nticated.

Champion Fried Egg Eater OF the
Morris OF Housatanic, Mass, before he
entered In recent egg eating contest
on wager. He had a record Of TWEEN
ty-two eggs and the wager was on his
contention that he could easily in
crease this record to twenty-five.
When he reached seventeen eggs he
was seized with an attack OF acute in
digestion and doctor worked over
him for AN hour before he was re-
stared to consciousness and pro
nounced out OF danger. He also has a
record for fifty-four ears of green
corn.
At the beefsteak dinners OF many
political clubs astounding records are
made in the consumtion OF viands
Some of those who take part think
pounds of meat at the sitting. At one
clambake held at College Point re-
Gently eight baskets Of food were eat
en- by one diner. This basket includ-
ed a leg and breast OF chicken,
twenty-five clans. two ears Of corn
and four potatoes. This record is de-
clared acurate and authentic and is
posted up in an East side clubroom.
A Rhode Island farmer had rec
ord of half a bushel of walnuts, Of
which he was extraordinarily fond.
He used half bag of salt while eat
ing them. A New Jersey blacksmith
on a recent wager ate nearly peck
and half OF cherries lie said he
could go on eating forever as he
put 1t. but those who Witnessed his
feat declared they had seen enough to
prove the eater wonder. a Chicago
man Unfortunately fond OF mush and
milk, lived on 1t for a week not long
ago, eating four great bowlfuls OF it
three times day.
