Tie many Tintic mine owners posses
sing zinc ore tonnage that can only be
marketed under conditions now existing,
Juetfying unusual price ranges for the
metal, have reason to feel secure in q
sustained market for a considerable pc
riod. While production last year was
record breaking. consumption was even
more so. and 10 such extent was con-
sumption in excess OF domestic output
that the metal was imported rather free
.ly, despite the duty, II the United
States Is forced to look To foreign sources
or spelter for an adequate supply, there
IS ample reason for believing that the
domestic producer should receive tho top
notch for his output.
One principal factor OF the situation is
the limited smelling capacity OF this
country IL is estimated that the pro-
posed increase 20 the smelling capacity
throughout 1918 VIII not be equal to the
while The decrease I'm gas smelling dur

operating altogether or to DO go only by

production in 1915 promises to be the
largest in history, as there never was n

Copper Price Action.

'.Atter small recession In February,
IL rose stccply 20 June. and then ran
about horizontally during the remainder
OF the year The line Tor pig iron espe
c!aily reflects normal and true condi-
tions, as we now know t.e history or
the year. The erra;ic diycrgency OF the
line FOR copper indicates IN itself the ac-
ton OF artificial influences and exc,tes
the suspicion that the rise in the price
for this metal. which undoubtedly was
Justified partly By natural conditions,
was nevertheless caused TO happen sew
eral months too coon. AS a consequence
Of such anticipation, the Inference may
be drawn that the Increased production
Of 1919, which was delayed. may show
rs effects, although perhaps In mod
crate way, In 1919. This is probably the
meaning OF the large increases in refin
ers' production and stock that lately We
have been witnessing, including the De-
cembcr returns.
such being the circumstance the

TO maintain the market at the point
where FOR about six months they had

their position, which took place during
the current week. was doubtless the best
thing that could have happened for the
industry in general. Nothing will go
restore confidence In the copper market
as TO cause II to be freely and openly
competitive, with an absence OF ideas
about starving the consumer, and rather
the exhibition OF a tendency to make
concessions in price to interest manu-
facturers and promote consumption when
