WEEKLY. SUMMARY OF
NEW YORK METAL MARK Ell

The situation in regard to the metal
market September IL to 10, inclusive,
as reported by the Engineering and
Mining Journal, and Mining and Sci
entific Press, is as follows:
COPPER--There are signs of COM
ing events, but except for these the
situation remains substantially un-
changed. Producers naturally well
come such orders as come to theAa,
but as yet they have made no effort
to rs-establish competitive market
TO buyers and sellers, the still exist
ing conditions rendering the sale Of
the current production, not to speak Of
the accumulated stocks, quite impos-
sible. Europe seems to be taking
copper more freely on the old con-
tracts, and probably will want to en-
ter into new ones before long, ~ will
also domestic manufacturers, but the
requirements of the last appear to b
reduced by a real diminution IN tn
rate Of consumption.

of New York up to the middle Of gsp-
! tsmbsr wers s,7ss long tons. n

time to acquire bulk and percentage
Of sugar.
Inspectors Of the factories in this
vicinity have been looking ever The
fields where the beets are most i'd
vanced and have already sent ont mo-
tices to growers that they may begin
their digging at once.
The acreage planted this year ID
less than last year, but the increased
production per acre win make the
season at the factories and In the
fields the usual length Of three
months. Tests show the percentage
Of sugar is greater than usual this
year. As farmers are paid = graded
rate which depends upon the yield in
sugar, their receipts from this years
crop will be almost up to last year,
when higher rate per ton was paid.
Three railroads are engaged In
hauling beets to the factories this
season-the Union Pacific, COLORADO
4 Southern and the Great Western,
the last named being owned by the
Great Western Sugar company. Dur
ing the digging season the lines will
abandon almost all other business, as
the beet trains crowd them for roll
ing stock.

ports of copper from Baltimore for
the week ended September ~ were
800 tons, Of which 633 tons we're dcs-
tined for London and 1856 tons for
Copenhagen.
LEAD-This market has been even
weaker than at the time of our last
report. sellers at concessions being
found in several quarters, although
the leading interest maintains it's for
mer price. The reported transac-
tions amount to moderate tonnage.
Independent producers hive sold at
$4,000 3.85. New York, with free Of
fers at the higher figure, while lead
has been easily purchasable at st.
Louis at $3.65m3.70 right through the
week.
ZlNC-At Joplin month ago
blende Of so per cent metallic zinc
was selling for $3S to $40 per ton.
After smart rise to $50 basis, which
figure WAS paid for virtually the en-
tire production of an entire week, or
approximately 5000 tons, bids for
ore dropped quickly, declining to $45,
at which figure the market is fairly
steady. The decline after the unnat-
raj advance was to be expected. An
increase Of $40 per ton was recorded
during period Of two weeks, this
being the sharpest gain in the history
of the local industry. The strength
was purely speculative; further
strength viii doubtless be based upon
something more substantial, and there
seems little doubt that an ultimate
advance may be looked for.
S1LVER-In New York and Ion
don prices have been around Soc and
"a to 25d per ounce respectively. The
market is stronger now, and the in
crease in supplies in New York seems
to be met by the purchases for coin
age in various countries. Practically
all sales are on cash basis, and there
has been no business for future deliv-
cry. Owing to a favorable season and
low stocks at Bombay. resumption Of
silver shipments to India from Lon
don is likely soon.

Durango, Colo, Sept. 25, 1914.
Dear Sir:
We are advised by our New York
office that recent sales of copper have
been made at 12.34c per lb. covering

ket basis.
Ten cents provisional payment will
continue on ores purchased beginning
September 1st. Adjustment, however,
will be made monthly on an average
