THE METAL MARKET

Geo. L. Walker, writing in the
Boston Commercial under date of
May 23rd says:
Copper is moderately firm. Lake
is 143s to 1919 cents and electrolytic
is Az cents a pound. There have
been some good sales of electrolytic
recently at 12H cents and consider
able lake has changed hands at 141a
cents. The business of domestic con
sumers appears to be improving some
what; but all of the worlds consum-
ers now have their attention centered
upon the current record breaking
volume of production, and as a =. re-
suit they are not buying any more
copper than they require to supply
their immediate needs.
The large consumers seemingly are
enjoying a happier sense of security
than warranted. With business ac-
tivity the world over materially below
normal and production unprecendent-
ly large, the worlds surplus stocks
of copper declined a total of 292,4 54,-
S2S pounds between February 1, 1911
and November 1, 1913. Since Nov
ember 1, business conditions in. the
United States the principal consum-
ing country, have been acutely de-
pressed, and as a result there was an
increase in the worlds surplus stocks
of copper between November 1 and
May 1 of only 45,500,S59 pounds, al
though within this period production
has increased until it has exceeded all
previous records. The only basis for
the pessimistic attitude of consumers
must be a belief that our
domestic business depression, though
brought about wholly by the unwis-
dom and misjudgment of a compare
lively few politicians, will be of long
duration.
The amount of copper available for
domestic consumption, in excess of
our current heavy export demand, is
to supply the requirements
Of this country when business con-
iitions are normal. The worlds ex-
listing surplus is dangerously small.
During the first half of May there
was an increase of only 2,253, 440
pounds in the visible supply at all
foreign points, which suggests that
here is to be no immediate reduction
n the volume of the export move
nent. There are several things that
nay happen to bring about sudden
'evival of business in this country.
When it comes it is reasonably GER
ain to lead to an immediate short
lge of copper supplies and very |
sharp advance in prices.

COAL MINING ACTIVE
IN NEW MEXICO

| The production of coal in New Mex
leo in 1913 was 3,708,8O6 short tons,
with value at the, mines of $5,401,-
260, according to E. w. Parker, of
the United States Geological Co
operation with the State Geological
Survey.
In 1913, as in 1912, New Mexico
outstripped all previous records in the
production of coal. The output in
1912 was 3,536,S24 short tons, valued
at $5,036,S24, compared with which
that of 1913 showed an increase of
1882 tons in quantity and of 1884,
2O9 in value. The average price per
ton in 1913 was $1.33. Co1fax
County in 1913 produced 2,749,765
short tons out of the total of 3,70S,-
SOC tons for the State.
The number of men employed in the
coal mines of New Mexico increased
from 1928 in 1912 to 1929 in 1913.
The average production per man de-
creased from 900 tons in 1912 to S57
tons in 1913. This decrease was
not due to any falling off in efficiency
but was one of the minor effects of
an appalling disaster which occurred
at Mine No. 2 of the Stag Canon
Fuel Co., at Dawson, in October, 1913.
This accident, one of the most dis
astrous of the year in coal mining
and the worst in the history of the
of the State. caused the death of 261
persons. 1t occurred in one of the
mines of company which had
spared no expense and had taken
every precaution human intelligence
could suggest to reduce the hazard
of coal mining operations. The
other fatalities reported to the United
States Bureau of Mines outside of
the explosion at Dawson were IL,
making a total of 272.
Only one instance of labor disaffec-
ton was reported in 1913, and in
this eight men were on strike for $50
days.

causing their death.
