TIE National board of trade
which met in Washington recently
was addressed by Hon. Carter Glass
OF Virginia on the subject Of cur.
rency reform. Mr.. Glass censured
The business men Of the country for
their lack Of interest in financial
problems and blamed them for the
present unsatisfactory state Of our
currency. 1t is an unfortunate fact
that our business men know so Ia.
inevitably little about scientific
finance. Our currency lie 90 inelss
tic that when business begins to
boom, the voIume Of currency fails
TO expand sufficiently to meet the
requirements Of the booming busl-
ness, hence, we are liable in the
midst Of the most prosperous period
TO be thrown into the vortex of a
financial panic, which is exactly
what happened in 1907 and also in
1893. In fact, the same is true Of
The panic Of 1857. This country
certainly presents a glorious oppor.

UTAH.APEX EARNS
ALMOST $4,000

Mining company covering the period
ended September 80, shows that the net
profits OF the company during the quar-

with sS3,19S for the previous quarter.
1t Ia explained In the report that the
difficulty experienced in having ores
treated by the smelter IL accountable
for the difference in earnings during the
third quarter OF the year. The smelter
notified the company that It was unable
to handle so large a tonnage of the Utah
Apex ore as was being shipped during the
preceding quarter, on account OF tho
character Of the ore, The mine was
closed for several days. and since resum-

its output down 10 about one-half Its

Statistical Position Strong.

We have been during the last week
favored with the usual newspaper
pabulum for public consumption, de-
nyinR that the price of copper is any
thing but the top price, dwelling upon
the strong statistical position, which
can important producer says is su-
perior TO anything that ever occurred
within his memory" etc, If people
like TO talk such half truths or nom
sense. and other people like TO be de-
ceived by It, they may. OF course,
suit themselves.
The statistical position is appar-
entity strong on the face OF things and
it is true that the Rio Tlnto and
Michigan strikes and the Mexican
troubles have materially restricted
the output OF crude copper. The out
put Of refined copper has not yet
been restricted in just the same pro-
portion, on account of the working
off OF old accumulations OF crude cop
per. some operations OF 1912 here com
ing home to roost. We do not think
that the pessmistic notions respect
ing the effect of full resumption OF
the Michigan output in the near fu-
- ture are sound. The strike there has
become n staIemate. out of which the
companies will gradually cXtrIcate
themselves. but their production is
going to be restricted for a long time
because Of scarcity OF labor. As to
the Mexican troubles, he would bc
an optimist indeed who can see any
near outcome from them

Diminished Consumption.

The thing that has caused the
temporary downfall of copper is not
increasing production or the prospect
OF It. but rather diminished consump-
tIon, refIectlng the general recession
in business. Whenever such a con-
dillon develops. the feelings OF pro-
ducers become Of the eloomiest. They
persuade themselves almost that the
consumption of copper Is going to
cease altogether. that nobody Is ever
going 10 buy any more. In fact. tho
difference between the normal rate
Of consumption and the rate in the
nadir OF depression Is perhaps not
more than 10 per cent, and consum-
ers win continue TO have to buy a
great deal OF copper, and, moreover.
TO buy II right along At present, the
market is simply going through one
OF its recurrcnt agonies OF trying TO
establish the price at which buyers
