THE COPPER MARKET.


Geo. L. Walker, writing in the
Boston Commercial under date OF
Nov. 49, says:
! Copper is stronger and the price is
advancing. Lake is II So to II 1-2
cents and electrolytic is ~ to IL IA
cents pound. The advance in prices
was not started by an increase of de-
mand, but by decrease of offerings
AS pointed out awhile ago, some of
the producers were placed in posi-
ton, by the outbreak of the war,
where they were forced to sell con.
siderable quantities of the metal i'm
mediately, almost regardless of
prices. Such selling, together with
the disposal in England of large
quantities of metal seized as contra
band, was responsible for the very
low quotations. This forced selling
has been completed and the produc-
ing interests are now in position
to conserve their assets, by which
is meant that they have financed
such stocks of copper as they have
on hand and will retain them until
they can be sold at prices which will
not result in heavy impairment of
ttefr working capital.
l stated in last weeks letter that,
The consumer who is spending his
time guessing on how much longer
the price of copper will go may soon
change his occupation to that of won
dering why he made the prodigious
mistake of not buying copper at IL IL
cents when he had the opportunity. !"
That prediction came true much soon
er than was expected. This week
American consumers have been
frenziedly bidding against each other
for copper and have paid as high as
12 IA cents pound.
When the metal was around IL Ia
cents I stated repeatedly that the
selling reflected the temporary nee
essities of few producers, and that
the aggregate amount which could be
purchased at that price was not large.
A majority of the consumers believed,
however, that the price of copper
would continue to decline until the
termination of the European war was
in sight. Such belief was based up
on the wish rather than the judg-
ment, and those entertaining such an
opinion did not stop to figure it out
that the big producing companies,
practically every one of which is
strong financially, would not willing
ly suffer the impairment of assets

RAPID RAISE or
GERMAN COPPER
E. E. LeJuene, Formerly Private Sec
Rotary to F. M. Murphy Of Prescott,
Tells of so Per Cent Rise.

PRESCOTT, Ariz., Nov. 28.-In
a letter to A. w. Edwards from E.
E. LeJeune. formerly private secre-
tary to F. M. Murphy and well known
in Prescott, the writer speaks opti-
mistically concerning the copper
prospects. The letter is written
from Berlin, Germany, where Mr.
LeJeune is now engaged in the
metal business, a fact which renders
him thoroughly competent to talk
on the copper question from an in
telligent standpoint and with refer
ence to prospects in a country. which
is one of the largest importers of the
American red metal of any other in
Europe. On this subject he says =
81 am not surprised that the large
copper properties of Arizona are
decreasing their output, as ship
ments from the port of New York
have dropped to fifty per cent of the
the price of the metal in Germany
has gone up fully fifty per cent since
the beginning of the war, and look
for still. further advances in price.
I believe an investment in some good
copper stock, which can be had
cheapIy now, wouldn't be bad
idea, as enormous quantities of the
metal are being used up during the
war, and there is no doubt in my
mind that prices will go up sharply
AT,<,
All this is in direct accord with
predictions of mining men in the
United States ever since the de-
probation in the price of copper at
the outset of the war. According to
reports not only Germany, but all
the countries now engaged in dead
1y combat are gathering up every
piece of old scrap metal possible and
converting the same into war mu-
nitions, using the same as substi-
tute for copper in war implements
which have heretofore been manu-
featured out of the red metal. This
is ON account of the scarcity of cop
per-
F. NJ. Murphy speaking ON this
subject yesterday, said that he was
practically sure this country would
ultimately see a boom in copper
such as it had never known, as
result of the conditions mentioned
in the letter of Mr.. LeJeune. He
also said that he looked for rapid
in financial conditions
soon, stating that already the sum
light of better things in the financial
world was breaking through the
clouds of adversely which gathered
as soon as the war broke out in
Europe when the war commenc
ed" he said, there was an enor-
nous demand for American gold and
the balances were so much against
us that it became a herculean task
to handle the situation. This caused
a depression in all financial centers,
which affected the business of the
whole country. And from such a
situation it takes time to recover" \

Scene of Romance Florence Prison
Louis v. Eytinge May Marry Mrs.
Divers of New York.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. 2S.-Cu-
pid, the little rascal, has once more
lproved his utter disregard for bolts
and bars. Standing on the tip-top-
pest pinnacle of the tallest of the
four peaks, the god of love aimed
his bow straight into the grim, con-
1crete enclosed penitentiary at Flor
ence, and then facing the rising sun,
took long aim and shot, true to the
mark, fair daughter of far-away
New York.
Louis v. Eytfnge, serving life
sentence for murder whose strange
history and persistent overcoming
of difficulties is known from sea to
sea, felt the pierce of the arrow as
he went about his daily prison tasks
for himself and for the state, while
the. first twinge of an awakened love
stirred in the heart OF Mrs. Pauline
Lydia Divers, coming between the
lines of Eytinge's business letters,
as she sat at her desk in the worlds
metropolis.
Once familiar with the Arizona
prisoners history and ambitions, a
more personal correspondence fol-
lowed, and finally the clever phase Of
the professional letter writer was
lost in an outpouring of words writ
in the universal language of love,
And so it came to pass that Mrs
Divers, as lovely as Fischer etching,
came to Arizona, determined that
Cupid should not lose In SO far
reaching battle; came across the
plains and the mountains and the
desert as straight as the arrow which
flew from the top of Four Peaks,
straight to the zone" man at Flor
ence, now in the eighth year of his
expiration.
And SO, too, it is that this New
York girl, for she is scarcely more,
has retained the services of Attorney
B. E. Marks, and commenced an ac-
tive campaign to secure the release
of her prison lover that she may
lead him through the highways and
the byways of devotion out of the
valley of the shadow in which he
has walked for, 10! these many
years
Petitions are to be placed in cir
culation Immediately praying the
chief executive to release Eytinge,
whose history is well known, and
permit him to accept one of the lI-
crative offers he has received since
he developed his business getting"
genius behind the bars of the state
prison. In addition to this CAM
advertising agencies land influential
business concerns with which Ey-
tinge has had dealings to secure his
pardon. The governor is said to be
considering the matter, and the we'd
ding bells are already tinkling ner-
vously in anticipation of the final
triumphant peal.
Mrs. Divers has succeeded in in
teresting the Woman's Advertising
club of Los Angeles in her quest for
happiness, and from members of this
organization and others throughout
the country over 800 letters plead
ing for executive clemency have al
ready been received at the COVER
nor's office. The bride-elect is sec
rotary of the L. L. Poates Advertis-
ing company of New York, and her
salary is said to be $4,000 a year.
Eytinge is making as much more
from his desk in the prison.

which would be incurred by the sale
of large percentage of their accumu-
lated stocks of the metal at very low
prices X
To make my meaning clear, we will
assume that given company was
caught by the war with 5O,0OO,O0O
pounds of copper above ground, a
large portion of this being in process
of refining and the rest sold for de
livery in Germany during August,
September and October. This cop
per was assumed to be worth 13 ga
cents If it had been sold at IL IA
cents, therefore, the company would
permanently have lost $1,25O,0O of it's
working capital
Perhaps it may have been necessary
for this company to sell 100000
pounds at whatever price it could
get because of the stringency of the
money markets then prevailing, which
made borrowing practically impossi-
be Having sold that 100000
pounds, however, it would have meant
The management naturally would de-
eide to hold the remaining 100000
rounds until it could. be sold at IA
or 10 cents pound.
The final completion of this condi-
ton of forced selling is responsible
Nor the recent abrupt rise in prices :.
How far the advance may go is prob
iematical; but should definite signs
appear that the war was about to
he terminated, two or three cents
more might be added to the price of
pound of copper in as many days
The consumer vino failed to take adj
vantage of the low prices prevailing
month ago can blame no one but
himself.
The worlds production of copper
is curtailed fully so per cent, and
consumption at the current rate is
probably absorbing as many OF more
rounds than are coming from the
mines Therefore the situation is
balanced. and the existing supplies
are no longer a menace. Prices
are likely to continue advancing and
II is wholly within the range of prob
n oilities that copper will sell at 13
cents pound in the near future, even
though there should be no material
in the export situation.
At IL cents pound copper is cheap
in comparison with any of the other
with which it comes in
To competition directly or Indirectly.
Those consumers who have failed to
take care of their requirements to the
end of January should hasten to do
SO now.
Following the termination of the
war the buying demand Will suddenly
assume tremendous proportions and
the price of the metal will probably
advance with leaps and bounds.
Later on there may be a reaction, but
it is altogether unlikely that the
price will go back to anything near
u cents Copper will be used IN
steadily increasing quantities for
very great many years to come and
there is every prospect that future
prices will rule higher than they have
averaged during the past Is or 20
years.

Though no appraisal of the estate has

If this deposit is ample to cover the
