city, having under construction build
ings, etc., and it was expected that
this new capacity would begin to be
factor in August. The work has
been delayed, however, and it now
seems probable that considerable
new capacity will be ready in October.
When it goes into commission it will
have to be stocked up with copper,
and mill capable of turning out

month is obliged TO carry in stock
and in process OF manufacture from
100000 to 100000 pounds of metal.
/ Russia is again in this market with
Inquiries for a considerable tonnage
of copper 1t is known that France
and Great Britain will have to make
considerable purchases soon. The
ammunition making capacity of all
those countries, and also of Italy and
Japan, is being increased and will
soon be calling for considerable
amounts of copper.
The producers as a whole are not
in a position to sell very large ton
mage of copper for immediate de-
livery. They will be making de-
liveries until next February or
March on account of the sales they
made last June. All of them are in a
position to sell some copper for Sep
TENDER delivery and larger amounts
for the remaining three months of
this year. The confidence of the
producers in the future of the metal
market is such, however, that they
will if necessary allow more or less
copper to accumulate at the refiner-
les.
There is no quarrel between the
producers and consumers. The latter
are not dissatisfied with the prices
asked They are finding a ready
market for the entire output of their
mills and making larger profits than
ever before in their history. 1t is
good opinion that the trade would
not absorb any more copper at 15c
or II cents than it will at 1Scents,
as a lower price for the metal would
not now exert any influence whatever
to stimulate industrial consumption
If the expected buying movement
does not develop strength enough IN
the coming two months to absorb all
the current output it is not improba-
BILE that some of the largest mines
will again curtail production.
The opinion in war order circles is
quite unanimous that the European
war will continue into the year 1917

Operations by the allies have been
delayed by lack of heavy artillery
and supplies of ammunition. Efforts
are now being made to place addi-
tional orders for shrapnel, for which
there is no existing manufacturing
orders will call for prass fuses, cop
per projectile rings and cartridge
cases or shells, into which will go a
heavy tonnage of copper. But here
again is the necessity of waiting
while the manufacturing capacity is
being created and gotten into work
ing condition.
The prospect is that the consump-
ton of copper will be increased very
largely beginning in October and con-
tinuing as long as the war lasts.
Whether the demand will be. suffi-
cient to absorb the entire output of
all the mines has yet to be demon
strated; but there is every reason to
believe that the demand for ammuni-
ton making and the slowly but
surely growing industrial consump-
ton will be far more than sufficient
to absorb all available supplies.
At the moment there seems very
little prospect that consumers will be
able to purchase their copper at any
lower prices than Is cents for spot
and IL ga cents for delivery after
the first of the year. The best esti-
mate is that fully 80 per cent of the
worlds present copper production is
now being consumed. 1t is estimated
that within three months the exist
ing consumptive capacity will have
been increased at least 20 to % per
cent.

l.1e METAL MARKET.

Geo.. il. Walker writing in the
Boston Commercial under date Of
September 4th, regarding the metal
market, saJ >:
Copper is mre active, but the
marke. is sill unsettled. Electroly-
tic is IL 5-S to Is cents and lake is
Is to IS cents pound for the best
grades. Only a slight increase in the
buying demand was required to adj
vance the price of eIectrolytic from
around IL cents to Is cents week
ago, ana the Volume of transactions
since put through mas been relatively
small. Practically every one of the
producers has sold lew million
pounds OF copper, some OF it for de-
livery in January and February of
next year. Sucn buying is, of
course, 70 cover the requirements on
orders already in hand; but it is
known uaat a great many consumers
have large orders, the copper require
ments for which have not yet been
covered.
| Almost every representative of the
producing and consuming interests
has a different idea than any of the
others as to the present future out
look for copper. Conditions are I'M
lprecedented and there is no definite
Information available concerning the
volume Of production or the consump-
tive requirements of the coming six
months or a year.
The whole situation seems to re-
volve around the matter of capacity.
Makers of war munitions are buying
their fuses, rings and cartridge
cases, or shells, in crude shapes
from the brass and copper mills,
and these mills are operating to full
capacity day and night. The outturn
of ammunition, therefore, and also
the consumption of copper depend
for the present upon the current ca
pacity OF these brass and copper
mills The allies want ammunition
supplies to come faster and the cop
per producers want to sell more cop
per; but between the two are the
brass and copper mills, which cannot
increase their purchases of copper OF
their output of brass and cope
shapes until they have had time to
enlarge their manufacturing capa
city.
Nearly all the brass manufacturer;
are now providing for additional capa

This transaction also has signifi-

JAPANESE CAREFUL TO
REGISTER ALL BIRTHS

The registration of births seems to
be of more interest to japanese in Cal
ifornia than to the white population,
for during the year 1914, in propor-
ton to population, three Japanese
births were registered with the Cali
fornis State Board of Health to every
white birth. japanese associations
scattered throughout California pay
close attention to birth registration,
in order that all Japanese children
born in California may establish their
legal status as American citizens.
1t is probable that not more than
90 per cent Of white births are reg
istered with the California State
Board of Health in accordance with
the law. While it is true that many
births attended by midwives are mo-
Imperial Valley press., 1915-12-06

reported, it is probable that the 10
per cent of births which are unrecord-
ed are due in a large measure to care
lessness and neglect upon the part of
physicians. Foreign-born parents are
generally particular to have the births
Of Their children registered.
The distribution Of many fortunes
and many a question of property
rights have rested solely upon the
existence of birth certificate, yet
American citizens are exceedingly
careless in attending to this import
ant matter The registration Of a
child's birth is its first birthright.
Under the new registration law, a
birth certificate must be filed within
thirty-siX hours after the date Of
birth The health officer in cities
having a freeholders charter is local
registrar, with whom such birth GER
tificates should be filed. The city
clerk is the proper official for regis
tration in other cities and Incorporated
towns, and the county recorder is the
registrar for the remainder of each
county.
