will have the effect, of course, of in
creasing thesupp lies of available cop
per by 100000 pounds, providing
it is sent here, but as yet only one
small shipment has been reported.
Another thing thai has caused
an immense amount of misleading
discussion was the statement made
Jew weeks ago, by one who is recog-
rized as having good sources of in
formation, that Germany has an avail
able supply of 100000 tons of cop
Der with which to carry on the war.
His explanation of this claim either
was not understood or was disregard
ed and financial writer's attempted
to show that such thing was i'm
possible, that Germany's imports for
10 years past hardly aggregated this
amount, ETC., and that the govern
ment could not have so much copper
in stock.
The writer referred to did not say
any copper in stock. He estimated
that the emergency created by the
war would enable the government to-
reclaim all of the copper in use in
the country, wires, roofing, hard
ware, kitchen utensils, etc. I'm
doubtedly he was approximately cor
rect. Copper wires can be taken
down and copper roofs removed to
make cartridge shells and iron or
other metals substituted; but this
would not be done to save expense.
1t would be an expedient necessarily
resorted to, copper being otherwise
unobtainable.
Copper does not wear or rust out
as most other metals do; therefore
Il can be reclaimed for special uses
whenever necessary. The German
nize the advantage of having large
amounts of copper in use in the coun-
fry, available for war purposes when
its ports are closed, and will make

re placed as soon as possible after the
war ends. thus preparing for future
emergencies. The substitutes for
copper that Germany is using are
not steel cartridge shells, but iron
wires for electrical transmission and
sheet iron to replace copper roofs.
Copper thus reclaimed costs at least
so cents a pound, as the labor expense
of putting it up and taking it down
must be added to it's original pur-
chase price.
Several more large ammunition
contracts have been placed in the
United States this month, for which
the copper has not yet been purchas-
ed Consumers have been deferring
their buving as long as possible,
. thereby encouraging the price de-
cline. A number of them must re-
plenlsh their supplies soon. Numer-
Gus inquiries are now reported by
producers. Indications are that the
market viii re very active and higher

MINES AND MINING
THE COPPER MARKET

Geo. L. Walker writing the Boston
Commercial under date of August
2Oth, regarding the copper market,
says:
Copper is slightly more active at
further price recession. Lake is
1t to II IL cents and electrolytic
is 16 IL to 16 ga cents pound.
These prices have been made on
small offerings by secondhand,
which means brokers and specula-
xros. While it is improbable that
large amounts of copper could be
purchased at these quotations, the
market price is that at which the
metal is offered in round lots" that
is, lots of so tons. Small offerings
depress the price whenever there is
an absence of buying demand, and
this is the condition which has ex-
listed for several weeks past.
AS was explained at length in
last weeks letter, the present de-
preston in the trade is due to the
fact that there is as yet lack of
ammunition making capacity suffi-
Gent to take care of the copper
surplus left after supplying the
worlds Industrial requirements.
Scores of factories are being equip
ped to turn out ammunition, and
when all of them are completed and
in full operation there probably will
not be enough copper to supply the
demand.
Prior to the outbreak of the Euro
mean war the amount of copper con-
sumed by ammunition manufacturers
probably did not exceed 5 per cent OF
the worlds production. To supply
the full ammunition needs of the al
lies now undoubtedly would require
50 per cent of the total mine output.
Machinery must be constructed, in
stalled. adjusted and men trained to
operate it, before this immense
quantity of a new product can be
supplied. The work was entered
upon promptly; but it has not yet
been completed, and until it is the
copper producing companies will
have to wait, holding a portion OF
their output.
Two or three depressing factors
have made their appearance recently
One of these is the unprecedented de-
cline in foreign exchange. The Eng
lish pound sterling is now selling at
1854, a decline of % cents from the
normal price AS a result the Lon
don quotation of ESQ per ton for
.electrolytic copper is equivalent to
16 81 cents a pound, whereas were
sterling exchange at its normal level
of $4S6, ESQ would be equivalent
q TO II. 80 cents a pound, difference
of three-quarters of a cent. The eff
feet of this is to check, temporarily
the export buying demand.
Shortly after the war began Great
Pritain prohibited the export of cop
per. As result of this there accum
ulated in Liverpool about 40,0O0,O0C
pounds OF unrefined copper, known as
standard" for which there was q
lack of refining facilities. Though
standard" usually sells e3 or "a

tic, it has declined recently unit
