Officers of Merchant Ship in New York Report That Undersea Freighter is Captive and Her Crew Taken Prisoners.
North German Lloyd Liner Awaits Arrival of Sub mersible at New London Pier-Deutschland Ready to Start Here Again.

New York, Aug. 25-The New York City News Associa- ton quotes ''an officer of the British merchant marine" who arrived here today aboard the White Star Steamship Baltic, as authority for the statement that the German submarine Bremen has been captured by the British and 33 of her crew of 35 made prisoners of war.
 The Bremen, according to the account, was captured in the Straits of Dover in a steel net, on August. 2. The other two members of the Bremen's crew lost their lives.
 The submarine. while enmeshed in the net. was sighted by a British pa trol boat, her stern under water and her bow high above the surface. After endeavoring for a time to extricate the wreck from the net, the patrol boat steamed away for Dover with her prisoners.
 According to the officer quoted, the British government has maintained silence in regard to the capture as an- other Germans transatlantic subma- rine, the Amerika, was said to be on the way here and it was hoped to cap- ture her also.
 Willehad at New. London
 New London, Aug. 25.-The German steamer Willehad. which was interned at Boston at the outbreak of the Eu- ropean war, and which sailed from Boston yesterday by way of the Cape Cod canal, arrived here this morning, having passed into Long Island Sound shortly before o'clock.
 Heavy fog held up the steamer during the night. but the weather cleared at daybreak and the Willehad proceeded here and came directly up the harbor to the new state pier on which ar new storage sheds of the Eastern Forwarding Co.,. the American
  rSersible merchantmen.
 It is expected the Willehad will tie up there for an indefinite period of time.
 The big German boat was able to dock at the state pier without the as- sistance of a tug. She turned around in the river and back to her moor1ngs without the slightest difficulty and Captain Jachens declared:
 Your harbor is magnificent. can- not say too much in praise of it."
 When asked what he had come here fore, the German commander loconi- cally replied:
 Orders"
 The steamer was tied up at the wharf at 9:57. Captain Jachens says that the Willie had anchored Thursday afternoon off Seckonnett and resumed her trip to this harbor this morning.

able, that the allies are making plans and laying in supplies for a concerted offensive movement, munitions re- quirements for the immediate future undoubtedly will call for several hun dred million pounds of copper. When the United States government actual ly enters upon it's preparedness cam paign there will be a very large in- crease in the demand for copper for the manufacture of munitions for do nestle use. The electrical manufac turing business las been improving quite steadily for six months or year past and the wire mills are reported to be running now at approximately capacity So far as can be ascertain ed there is no tendency to curtail the use of copper in industrial lines be- cause of its high price. Every factor in the situation supplies evidence that copper consumption is likely to go on increasing for a long time to come.
 It is now probable that further big buying movement will develop in the very near future. If it is limited to purchases for 1917 delivery there may be a slight shading of prices; but if considerable tonnage is demanded for nearby delivery prices surely will advance. While there is some cash copper available the aggregate am- ount is small and it is doubtful if any considerable tonnage could be obtain ed for earlier delivery than the last quarter of this year.
 The fact that production is larger than ever previously is being over- estimated as bearish factor. Ex- cept in a few short periods of indus trial depression there has never been
 enough copper to supply the worlds requirements at prices which would represent no more than a normal busi- ness profit. This metal seems to possess the merit of advertising itself and extending it's own uses. Although
 it is now selling at an unusually high
 price there is no good reason to an
 ticipate any material decline during i the continuance ct the European war
 or for some time after it's termination.

per pound. Actual dividends paid were therefore less than half of the earnings.
 The total dividend disbursements for the year 1916 bid fair to exceed $125, 100000 by a very substantial amount unless some unforeseen world catastrophe dislocate this na- tion's domestic and export industries.
 Dividends paid by the strictly cop per companies in previous years, $57,- 254,454 in 1915; S41, ,511 ,4S9 in 1914; $60,242, ,695 in 1913 (previous record year., about $52,O0O,O00 in 1912 and close to $3S,0O0,0OO in 1911 and 1910. The present year will be the first time in history that the $100,000,000 mark in yearly copper dividends will have been even nearly approached, let alone passed.
 The net profits of the thirty odd dividend paying copper producers will exceed S300,000,00G for year 1916, at the rate of earnings in the first quar- ter The actual profits of the year promise to greatly surpass this sum, owing to greater production in sue ceeding quarters and presumably bet ter prices for output.
 As against net profits of over S300,- O00,0 from but thirty odd companies in 1916, the entire gross value of the copper production in this country in 1915 was only $295, 100000. And last year itself made a record in this respect. It is difficult to grasp the | full significance of this fact; that the net profits this year promise to ex- ceed the entire gross value of the metal turned out in any year in the history of the worlds copper trade.
 Most assuredly the copper con- panies are now in the midst of the most profitable era in the history of the worlds copper industry.
 The fact that the total dividend dis bursements for 1916 will undoubtedly be in the neighborhood of s125, 900, 900 indicates that the laboring man will receive a similar increase in their pay checks. Records are being made in Arizona mining, not alone records for dividends, but records for the total amount paid out in wages, which fact is of much interest to a large number of people.

THE METAL MARKET

Copper is quiet and the market has the appearance of being weak; but there are many reasons for the belief that the position of the metal really is extremely strong. Lake and cleo trolytic are being sold by brokers at 27 1-2 to 2S cents a pound for the ac- count of consumers who over-bought some months ago. The leading pro- ducers and selling agencies continue to ask 29 cents and they are not mak- ing any effort to sell or to find a mar ket. Electrolytic is selling in London at the equivalent of 30 cents a pound The export movement is heavy, having averaged 2,403, ,520 pounds day so far in June, which is at the rate of 72,105,- 600 pounds for the whole month. It is reported on what appears to be good authority that European governments and consumers are making inquiries for approximately 2OO,000,000 pounds of copper, and it Is also stated that new orders for shells and other muni- tions aggregating more than $200, 0,000,- GOO have been, or are about to be, placed with manufacturers in this country.
 The leading producers are believed to have sold between so and 90 per cent of their 1915 production and also considerable tonnage for delivery during the first quarter of 1917. 1 There is every reason to assume therefore, that they will refrain from offering down prices. According tC the established custom of the trade, il is their duty to protect their custom
 CTS, and as there is every assurance that at least sufficient new business
 will develop during the end of this year there is no occasion for them tc reduce prices.
