LUMBER CENSUS TO INCLUDE
 PULPWOOD STATISTICS

Washington, Dec. 6.-Figures show ing the amount of wood used in the United States for making pulp will, it is announced, be obtained by the Forest Service in connection with it's 1916 census of the lumber industry. Because of the increasing scarcity of the pulpwood in some parts of the country, the need for accurate figures showing the consumption of this class of material is realized by manu- lecturers and foresters alike and it is expected thatN such figures will be made part of the yearly statistical work of the Forest Service The pulp manufacturers will cooperate in the work, through their trade organization the News-print Manufacturers Asso- citation.
 Detailed information in regard to the amount and cost of different kinds, of pulpwood consumed in the differ ent States is to be collected. Com parative figures showing the total pulpwood consumption of the country for 1899, 1909, 1914 and 1916 are to be compiled. (
 The data to be obtained will, it is stated, be of considerable value to pulp manufacturers, as well as to the Forest Service. Owing to the com raratively small number of pulp mills in the United States, it is thought it will be possible to issue report on the work at an early date.

 When the price of copper began to advance early last year it was argued that the rise was illeg egitimate, because of the fact that industrial consump- tion was far below normal. At that time it was stated that the wire miiIs Of this country were opera ting at 60 per cent or less of their total capa- city. The American Metal Market nt w quotes one mill as stating that it's eGFlre rHtput is sold for the first half of 1317 and as naming 2 price of 37 cents F. O. B. mill. for delivery dur
 3g Ite last half uf ne2 year. It fur ther says: The price for prompt copper wire is entirely nominal and is matter of special negotiation and favor by the mill, ana limited quan- titles of wire might be secured at from 40 to Al cents for delivery in three or four weeks. This confirms my previous statement thaE the wire u1lllS are nOW iuil city, notwithstanding high copper prices, and that their output is being sold far in advance.
 It has been estimated that as high as 90 or 95 per cent of all the cop per producing companies will be able to deliver during the first six months of next year has been sold al ready. My own estimate is S5 to 90 ;1 ,sT sr without precedent in the history of the trade. It is probable that 25 per cent of the copper that will come to market during the last half of 1917 has been sold also The bulk of the business done during the past two or three weeks has consisted of the sale and purchase of copper for delivery during the third quarter of next year. Producers are not encouraging con- sumers to make purchases for such far distant account; but the latter are insisting upon buying all the copper that will be required to complete the big contracts they are making to de liver manufactured products.
 At the present time it does not seem probable that the worlds copper pro duction for 1917 will exceed that of the present year by more than to s per cent. By comparison, this years output probably will be 25 per cent greater than that of 1915. Thus in spite of the remarkably high prices which are being paid, the mining com panies apparently have reached the limit approximately of their ability to supply the demand.
 It is becoming more and more clear ly evident as time goes by that the end of the European war will find the worlds supply of copper, available for immediate delivery, exhausted and that nothing less than long period of extreme industrial depression sufh- ciently widespread to embrace all na- ! tions can cause the metal to decline to 15 cents again soon thereafter | The best authorities on worldwide business prospects believe that the ter imitation of the war will be followed by intense industrial activity.

The ladies con- posing this committee arranged a Fish Pond for the occasion as an en- tertainment for the many visitors who were in attendance. A larger catch of fish has never been reported in Morenci before and no less than seventy casts of the line were made and something was on the line each time it was drawn up. Suckers were also in abundance, the usual case in every pond. Light refreshments were served during the afternoon, and Miss Imogene Hitchcock enter tained the guests with several vocal selections pleasing to all.
