Production during the year suffered
chiefly through strikes consumption of
the metal held wen until late in the year,
for the copper industry seemed to be one
of the last to feel the effects Of diminish
ing business. Prices were always on a
profitable basis for the producers, but they
did not hold steady. Another unfavorable
factor restricting production were the con-
tinued Mexican difficulties. which greatly
curtailed output of copper in that coun-
try.

Year Marked by strikes.

II was year marked by strikes. the
most disastrous AZ affecting localities In
the history of the industry. At the dawn
of 1913 the Utah copper district was com
mencing to recover from labor troubles
which tied up that section of the country
for several months. Muttcrings were soon
heard from the Lake Superior district.
which In its long history had been free
from union agitation. In July this de-
yeloped into a general strike affecting all
the lake mines, and while at the end of
December Calumet and Hecla was being
operated quite fully and Quincy was
making small shipments the other proper
ties had made no important strides toward
the resumption of operations
From a monthly production ranging
from 100000 to 22.O00.000 pounds the
lake has since midyear been contributing
less than lo,O0o,o00 pounds per month,
representing almost entirely Calumet and
Hecla operations. The country's output
for the year will be less by more than
6o.oOc.oo0 pounds on account of the lake
troubles
AcrCss she seas the Rio Tinto property
in spain was forced for a time to sus-
pend production owing to labor troubles
This curtailment of production had a d.
rect reflection on the American industry
because "A large part OF Rio Tinto prod
uct comes 10 the United States to be
refined and marketed. Practically all. II
not the entire amount. of Rio Tinto cop
per coming here is understood to be
handled by the Amalgamated interests
at their Raritan refinery.
Australia. which has five important
copper producers, has not been free from
troubles. although they have noe been
entirely due to dissatisfied labor This
has resulted in a slump in production OF
copper from that source Until two years
ago practically all OF tho Australian out
pu; came to the United States for treat
ment, but with the establishment OF a
refinery on the island. controlled by L.
Nogelstcin & Co and their foreign aff!lia-
tons a large part OF this product was
diverted from American refinerles. The
balance now goes direct to Europe fo-
marketing.
Copper production curtailment was no,
due entirely to strikes ut the mines 70;
the copper reiineries were visited by
strikes. That at the Nichols refinery. the
largest in the world. was the most pro-
nounced and far reaching. as the plant
went cold for a short time. and even
after the furnaces were again fired II
took = long time TO get back to capacity
This strike caused Phelps. Dodge 4 Co
the third largest producers and sellers
of copper. to retire from the market for
a week or two, as they were unable 10
make deliveries.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-01-01

At the beginning OF the year copper
was quoted nominally at lIc4 cents.
which marked the elimination OF last
years advance. \ few sales were made
early in January at this level, but In
the absence of buying there developed
"A dropping tendency, which by the mid
die of the month resulted in 10 cent
copper available in second hands. which
price was met by the Amaigamated and
others at l6i. cents. Earlier in January
the first sign of recognition OF producers
Of existing conditions was a cut to Tx
and then to II cents. The Balkan war;
then under way, had halted buying on
the part of foreigners and the domestic
consumers too were not disposed to take
on new supplies. Toward the end OF tho
month Amalgamated rather startled the
trade by asking bids abroad. most
unusual concession.
4 selling movement finally got under
way by the middle of February on a
fifteen cent basis At that time the
Guggenheim agency offered copper
through its Berlin Office at 1890 cents
Another movement followed In March at
prices ranging between 14% and IL cents
In ten days, to March 3. sales were
placed at 100000 pounds.
An April recovery followed In which
gradual advances took the price back to
l5ai cents. which quotation held over
into May.
The Nichols refinery strike occurred
In June. causing a loss OF 100000
pounds In production and putting Phelps.
Dodge & Co. out Of the market until late
in July.
The first half Of 1913 established a
new high record In exports OF copper,
the total being l9s,s38 tons against 49,
AL tons In the corresponding period Of
1912.
July and prices sagged to 1%h cents. II
was then believed that producers had
ovcrstayed tho market by holding on to
the higher prices. Toward the close OF
the month there were sales of 0.00o, 900
pounds OF August September copper ut
l4a, to IAN cents, At the end of tho
month tho American Smelling and Re-
filming Company was again quoting 15S

advanced to 15st cents on O 100, 900. 900
