buildings, in improvements, ETC., all
of which will require copper. The re-
markable revival in the iron and steel
Industry, which can hardly be due
wholly to military requirements, is
conceived to foreshadow this. Yet we
should not be disappointed if great
expansion in domestic peaceful indus
try does not happen right away. Such
e. pansion must be based upon the f.
nancing of bonds and securities, and
although we have the means to do
that the uncertainty of the times
breeds caution. Next there are the
questions. of men and of plant, both
of which are now occupied to large
extent with military business. The
two things-war and peace-do not
economically dovetail we'll together.
Many months ago the view was ex-
pressed in the Journal that it would
be better for the prospects for in
crease in domestic business to have
copper hold around lac than to have
it raised to zoe by military buying. We
have seen strikingly how the excessive
rise in spelter-far more extravagant
than the rise in copper-paralyzed Or
binary commercial consumption. Thus
a few producers profited hugely, but
to large extent at the expense of
peaceful Americans, not warning Euro
peans.
The only possible deduction from
these forecasts is that we shall proba-
bly, see copper at lower level than
Iitais now before the end of this year,
although there will no doubt be rallies
on sporadic buying movements. Yet
there is nothing to be pessimistic
about Seventeen cents, or Ice, or
even 15c is a fine price for copper. If
the market holds around such levels
up to the termination of the war,
everybody ought to be satisfied. We
find among experts in the trade a
unanimous opinion that upon termina-
ton of the war there will be a great
demand for copper. Engineering &

COPPER future ON
SOUND BASIS
Steady Domestic Demand is Better
Than Heavy Military Buying

The hopes for a rally in copper that
were recently entertained failed to be
realized and the price has declined
further 1t appears that the buying
for ammunition in June, and earlier,
was much in excess of the immediate
land although further con-
tracts have probably to be made the
buyers are more cautious. slower to
act, than they were In the mean
while production has increased to
about the limit of present refinery
capacity. Domestic consumption has
failed to increase materially. AL
though the producers have already
contracted to deliver good deal of
the copper that they expect to produce
for a long while ahead, eyen in 1916,
there remains a large supply Of cur
rent production to be SOLD. and the ex-
cess of supply over demand is having
the natural effect.
Yet, the position of copper is fun
damenta1ly sound The stocks in the
hands of refiners are not increasing
to any disconcerting extent There are
not believed to be any speculative &C
counts in the metal that have to be-
licnidated A big operation of that
sort that was conducted on the sharp
rise in 'copper,early in the spring, is
supposed to have been conducted be-
fore copper reached its highest point.
There has been no gossip of specu1at-
ors buying copper at the top and meet
ing with the fate of some of the ad-
ventures in spelter and lead. Nor has
there been any considerable volume of
speculation in the shares of the cop
per stocks. On the contrary, they
have been conspicuous by the neglect
of them and it is well known that
the standard issues have hardly been
selling for prices representing their Ii
quidating value, an average of IA IL
q 15c for copper. Anaconda, for
example, has at no time in 1915 sold
so high as it did in 1914, before the
war. There have therefore been no
great bubbles blown in copper that
4Auol lASNdIdOly SApIOuS
Trying to look into the future GER
tain factors seem reasonably clear.
The production of Chuquicamata, Ka-
tanga and Inspiration is going to in
crease. If it appears, however, that
the weight of their production added
to what is being piled on from other
quarters is excessive, the large pro-
ducers will probably curtai1. They
learned in 1914 how easy it is to do
that, and there is no longer the ten
dency that there used to be to try
to hog the market. On the contrary,
there is a better recognition. of the
wisdom of operating for the common
welfare and therefore there is now. a
spirit of friendliness among competi-
tors
So long as the war lasts there is go
ing to be very large quantity of cop
per used for ammunition, but of course
such consumption is not going to
maintain the copper industry of the
world. The great uncertain factor at
the moment is the consumption for
peaceful purposes, which is still below
normal, especially in the United
States. When is it going to revive?
This country is growing rich in mon
ley out of the sale of its products and
its labor at high prices,and sooner or
later that money must be invested in
increased means for transportation, in

THE COPPER MARKET

The tone of the copper market is
decidedly stronger and indications
are that another big buying movement
is about to develop. Lake is quoted
all the way from IL ga to zoe and
Ieiectrolytic is II IL to Is cents a
tpcund. This wide spread in quota
tons is due to the fact that all sell
ing pressure has disappeared and that
the inquiries from consumers mention
ed week ago have now changed to
bids of II IA to II LIZ cents for sub
stantial tonnages of copper. Some
of the so-called second hands who
| sold copper a week or two ago at
prices ranging down to 16 cents are
now in the market as buyers with bus
of 16 ga to IL Ia cents. Sales of
lelectrolytic at Is cents are reported.
The London market is very much
Stronger, sharp advance having oc-
Cured this week in the price of stan
dard. ., - .,
Thus it is evident that the two
months period of stagnation' is abou.
to terminate in another general buy
ing movement. The great amount of
anxiety over the future of copper,
" hich found expression during the
past two months, was largely the out
growth of the general feeling of IN
easiness created by the European war
1t is by no means unprecedented or
unusual for the copper market to be
practically bare Of buying orders for
60 or even 80 days.
IN this particular instance the be-
li.f was quite general that the heavy
orders placed in June reflected such
enormous war demand as to make
continuous buying necessary. If such
had been the case, however, it il
possible that the price of the meta
might have advanced another LOG per
cent, for the producing interests dis
posed of every pound of copper in
June that they were able to consistent
with good business practice.
The surplus which has since accu-
Ii ulated probably does not greatly ex-
coed 00,000,000 pounds, and it will be
surprising if the next buying move
n ent des not call for more than
double this amount. The producers
will sell what copper they have on
l. hand ready for delivery and probably
also part or all of their September
and October outputs. If they can
keep sold up to date while the work
of creating new ammunition making
capacity is being completed they
should be well satisfied and it should
give them reason for confidence that
high prices will be paid for all the
copper they can produce, at least dur
ing the coming six months or year.
The end OF the war may cause a
temporary lull in the buying demand
land a slight recession in prices, but
this undoubtedly will be followed by
Ianotber wave of buying which may ex
lceed in it's proportions that of last
June.
All of the existing copper consum
ing capacity of the country, excepting
only tie wire mills, is now being
operated at full volume, and the az
gregate sales cannot be increased
materially until additional capacity
has been completed, both in this
country and abroad. Advices from
England, France, Russia, Italy and
Japan state that arrangements are be
ling made to increase very largely the
loutput of ammunition, and all THU
