THE METAL MARKET

Copper is very strong and the mar.
ket continues active. Lake and cleo
trolytic are established firmly now at
u IL to ~ "a cents per pound for
September and October; November
and December copper commands %
to 81 IA cents, and for January and
February deliveries &c IL to 26 ga
cents per pound are the asking prices.
By far the greater portion of the re-
cent buying has been by domestic con.
sumers who have been covering their
November and December require
ments and making some purchases
for delivery in January.
Although several lots have been
sold for export during the past two or
three weeks, the English, French,
Italian and Russian governments have
not figured ma large way in the trans
actions. There are indications, how
ever, that they will soon be in the
market for 300,OO0,000 to 5O0,000,ooo
pounds deliverable throughout next
year. A rumor, which cannot be con-
firmed positively, states that the
agents of these governments ap-
i preached one of the leading producing
interests recently and asked for an
option on very large tonnage of cop
per and that their request was de-
clined.
/ The export movement continues
heavy, having averaged so far this
month slightly more than 100 long
tons daily. 1t is not improbable that
the exports for the full month will ex-
coed 100000 pounds. Notwith-
standing the heavy shipments of the
past three months the unusually small
foreign visible supply continues to de-
crease. The feature of the market
at the moment is the scarcity of cash
and September copper. Nearby de-
liveries are in strong demand and it is
% cents per pound has been paid dur
ing the past two weeks.
Although the prevailing high price
of copper is credited exclusively to
war demands, industrial consum ption
probably is absorbing two-thirds of all
the metal that is coming from the
mines. Statistics covering long per
iod of years show that in times of
peace the ratio of consumption of pig
, iron and copper is one of the latter to
"a of the former. Pig iron consump.
ton in the United States, including
exports, is now running at the rate OF
!, 40 100000 long tons annually, and less
than 20 per cent of this is going into
, steel for export. Therefore if the
, domestic industrial demand is absorb
, ing 100000 long tons of pig iron
annually, it would appear that, accord
ing to the ratio referred to S53 ,00C
, pounds of copper is going into indus
= trial consumption this year in this
country alone, not including the i'm
mense tonnage that is being manufac
tured into munitions and parts there
of for export.

Then the January sun came out.
Rarest Of all rarities In France. Q
mid-winter dry spell came. accom-

sunshine. From January IS until
past the middle Of February one
would have thought May at hand.

been told on the eve Of the battle:

way for you. 1t will do its work 20

do will be to march at parade step
into verdun."
They were told, they said, that the
lighting would not amount to much
and It would be all over in no time.
Judging from what the German
soldiers admit. the crown princes

So 1t was that the January suns
brought the February guns a. per
the cute little poem. Pretty weather
and daffydowndillies having had the
temerity to intrude ON the preserves

So the big battle about verdun was
all because Of a little. nice. warm
sunshine. which forgot its cue and
made its entrance too soon.

True to Teutonic traditions OF pre-

Germans began bringing up material
