Britain and part of that of her allies. For Great Britain has now so organ ized her industrial affairs that the Munitions Ministry supplies every body, including the manufacturer who is making electrical machinery for some industrial purpose. The running of things in Great Britain Is no long CT at sizes and sevens. On the other hand, a good deal of the copper that has lately been sold to Connecticut brass makers is going into munitions.
 What the big sale of copper has re- ally done is to insure to certain pro- ducers, especially the Anaconda and those for which it sells. similarly as to Phelps. Dodge X Co., and to the producers selling through the Ameri- can Smelling and Refining Co.,, the disposition of q large part of their production in 1917 at very high price. In this respect Anaconda prob ably fares best as single producer. The smaller producers, who do not participate directly in the big sale, will nevertheless do so indirectly, for they will have command of the gen. eral market in which the withdraw al of the large quantity of copper al ready contracted will be backlog The copper producers are now guar autppd an aytraOrdinary nrioa for their copper and phenomenal profits in 1916.

THE GREAT SALE OF
 COPPER TO THE ALLIES

The great sale of copper to the all lied governments that has been talk cd about for several weeks back has been consummated. The quantity contracted was 100000 long tons e S,OOO,O0O lb.-a quantity beyond all precedent for a single transaction. This is about 20 per cent of the total production of the world in year just previous to the war. It is about one sixth of what the American capacity for the production of refined copper is expected to be in the early part of 1917. The contract is for delivery
 unning through the first half of 1917. It might be said, therefore, that at least one-third of the expected output of American refners for the first half of 1917 has been preempted by this one purchase.
 l It was natural that this spectacular i transaction should be the main theme of gossip, surmise and forecast in the daily papers and in Wall Street. American consumers of copper were represented as being confronted by d famine of their raw material. Judging from that sort of talk, it was to be in ferred that a new buyer had suddenly grabbed one-third of the prospective being seriously taxed by the needs of current consumption. This is not SO
 not at all so.
 The allied governments made large purchases of copper in the early part of 1916, contracting for deliveries up to the end of the year It is the fill ing of those deliveries that creates to large extent the strength of the cop per market now. The war cOntinu- ing and there is no reason to fOre- cast it's early termination--it was to be supposed that the Allies would re- quire as much copper as they are talk ing now. So far as the statistical pO- sition of the industry is concerned. there is no difference whether they buy it all in one transaction or buy about 33,0O0 tons per month late. Either way there is just as much cop ably there will be as large a free sur plus as there has been during the lat ter part of 1916, especially taking in to consideration the increasing relin cry capacity.
 Moreover, the American consumers do not approach 1917 as preempted market. They have. themselves, dur ing the last fortnight been buying very heavily for the first half of the coming year, no doubt in anticipation of the great sale that has just been consummated. for if it had not been consummated on Sept. 23, it would have had to be done later. Produc- CTS supplied them with copper al about the same price as was realized in the big sale It was natural, there fore, that the copper market should have become rather dull after the cul- rlinat ion of what all had been looking for We shall see prolonged dull pe- riods between now and the delivery of the last of the copper that has late ly been sold.
 It is to be remarked. furthermore, that all the copper just bought by the Allies is not necessarily going into war material. Rather does it repre- sent the total requirements of Great

WICKERSHAM WILL CARRY
 FAIRBANKS BY SMALL VOTE
fspecial to The Prospectorl

FAIRBANKS, Nov. 4.-It is believ ed here that Wickersham will carry this city by a small vote, although not so large as in 1914 when he ran against Bunnell. The odds are five to four that Wickersham will carry the city and even money that he will carry the division.
