TENDER Curtailment OF production in the
Lake superior district will not be so
marked. as has been the case IN other
mining sections Of the country. The Lake
brands are considered somewhat better
than clectrolytc for manufacture ~ car

The disappearance Of published quo
tations upon which many producers base
their settlements for copper sold has put
the mining companies 10 great dissd-
vantage. In Salt Lake custom smeltcrs
have been obliged 10 name IN cents a
pound as the price at which they will
settl. for ores Notwithstanding the fact
that the metal has not sold below -,
cents so FAR as can be ascerraiued
Fully ten million pounds Of copper IN
various shapes have been resting In New
York harbor for more Than a wcel, by
reason Of the delayed departure of vessels
from both New York and Baltimore.
Millions ~ pounds OF the metal. which
left these shores last week should have
reached European ports by last SUNDAY.
So FAR az can be ascertained the
steamship Friedrich der Crosse carried
the largest individual amount, 3.212,l60
pounds for Bremen. This vessel Of the
North German LLOYD feet left Baltimore
last week, but was recalled By wireless
to New York. whore sho now lies of

The American Smelling and Refining
Company had the largest consignment

tonnage, the total shipped in that form
being 2,t6i.0oo pounds.
