Copper trade advices from London indi-
cate that the American producers who had
copper aboard the steamship Rotterdam
which was forced to unload this portion
OF its cargo at Southampton. although
consigned for Holland, will be settled with
by the British Government on the basis OF
f56 los: ton. The cargo included l.542
tons OF copper
Owing to varying exchange rates. the 8
per cent war risk and high freight rates
II becomes more difficult than usual to
figure what the exporters will receive for
their copper. but Il has been estimated
that the net New York price will be about
ll.97 cents pound.
Under ordinary conditional with normal
exchange and no war risk to meet the
equivalent OF f56 los would be close 20
12l, cents q pound.
The most encouraging factor which the
copper market has encountered In many
weeks has just developed In an inquiry
for January copper. The amounts named
as being desired for the opening month OF
1915 were small. but they indicated that
some lines at least saw sufficient daylight
ahead to want three months copper.
Orders are understood to have been
placed in tho United States during the

Twenty cents a pound has been paid for
copper in Germany to an American pro-
Queer. II is understood that the metal
was booked through large selling agency
for the account OF n mining company.
This high price, coming almost stimuli
tanoously with the establishment of the
lowest domestic quotation in more than
decade, has brought about the widest
margin ever recorded between the foreign
and domestic prices for copper metal.
Practically all of the copper in ware
houses In Holland aside from that shipped
back 10 England. has been sent on to Ger
many for Government use.
England's stock OF copper during the
month OF September increased l,o2B tons,
while the visible supply, composed OF
stocks and afloats from chile and AUS
traia, gained 5.s3s tons No account has

the "quintessence Of happiness" in a
North African desert. She found per-

across the sandy wastes it was also
with the object of persuading some
chiefs of the Dervish tribes to come
to Paris to figure In her great $4,000
prize fete, but when she was several
days beyond the reach of civilization
her native convoy mutinied
She steadfastly refused to pay them
the extortionate sum they now de-
manded to proceed further. and they
deserted, leaving her alone with her
native interpreter, without protection
from the semi savage marauders
Held a Prisoner.
Mrs. Gouraud next fell into the
hands of small band of which the
chief was a powerful Dervish named
Sango Tomo, and was held prison
er three days. She attributes her
eventual liberation to a charm repre-
setting Buddha which was stolen from
a Hindu temple in the Indian hills
many years ago. This charm she has
worn around her neck since she was a
girl on the fourth day sango Tomo
espied the charm, and Immediately
salaamed profoundly.
When she perceived the unexpected
effect of her mascot, Mrs Gouraud
pointed to a number of snakes tat
tooed on her forearm The muscular
Dervish hastily spread carpet on
the earth, and. kneeling down, bowed
his forehead to the ground. Within
an hour the American captive was not

microbic action.
