the low point being reached at inter. ,sls of from seven to nine years. Prior to 1884. a peak was reached in 1890 with 17.76. A. low point in 1902 with 12.16c. the next high point in 1907. al zoe. the low point again at l2.s3 fin 1911. each of these being the prices for the entire year mentioned.
 If we take the prices prevailing for 1O-year periods ending in 1905. 1906 etc. down to and including 1912. we will find that the average of the whole Is 14.s3c.
 Prices depend on these factors: Demand. supply and the cost of pro drction. That they will never fall be- kw the cost of production for long is evident. The supply of copper on hand at present is normal or below and the factor of greatest consequence ts the demand. The worlds corsump- ton has risen at an irreguadr. but on thS whO1Cp SOuDt1ut tdtG OA AtcAA about 4s0.00o tons in 1897 to about 1J4o.000 tons in 1912 or 13s per cent in 16 years: s.5 per cent each year on an average. This increase in con- sumption is wholly American and Flu rcpean. The rest of the world uses hut little more copper now than Is 1897. Consumption at the rate of in. crease. which we have every cason f believe will be maintained and many reasons to believe will be accelerated will require 1.5oo.0oo tons annually by 1921.
 A slight increase in consumption m Asia, Africa and South America would bring the total demand much above the figures given out from present pit gress in these countries this is al- most certain to take place. Either new supplies of copper will have to he found. new districts with large pro ductive capacity opened up or there will he 8 shortage of copper hefore rcany years.-Alaska and Northwest Mining Journal.
