COPPER INDUSTRY
WAITSU. MOVE

Especial Star Bulletin Correspondsncs)
NEW YORK. y. Y, July 2l.-The
copper trade is waiting for some def
mite action by the government In ref
erenCe to its attitude relative to price,
and for that reason recent transac-
lions have been on a comparatively
small scale Until the restraint Of
existing uncertainty is removed, no
aggressive market activity can Oe ca
pected.
The consumption Of copper contin-
ues heavy, however, with a likelihood
Of expanding. provided adequate effI,
Cient labor is available. The strike
conditions at the Montana and Arizona
copper mines have assumed serious
proportions and their output has been
considerably decreased by the shut
down. II is believed that unless Op,
erations are fully resumed in thu
near future supplies may fall short
Of requirements With the present
outlook at sources OF production, the
downward tendency of the market pre-
sents an unusual feature Of the sttua-
ton. If the law of supply and de-
mand is allowed free play a reVersal

natural development to expect, accord
ing to leading factors in the trade.
The refinery production of copper
for June is estimated at 20O,OOO,OOo
pounds. These figures include not
only the product of American mines.
but copper imported into this coun-
try and treated at the different cleo
troylitic refineries here. The total
output Of refined copper for the first
half of this year is estimated at l.
0j5, 100000 pounds The total prOduC-
ton Of new refined copper in 1916
was 2.259.00O,OO0 pounds.
During the present unprecedented
conditions there are many and special
reasons for the utmost cooperation
between capital and labor and be-
tween the government and those bust
ness enterprises of the country which
are of immense value and practical
utility to the people, says the Ma
tional Conduit and Cable company,
Inc.
"A few weeks ago." observes the
company, 1T was announced that the
government had purchased 100000
pounds of copper at Is cents per
pound. The transaction was supposed
to be at the flat rate of % cents, but
recent report is to the effect that IS
per cent Of this price will be paid,
with subsequent adjustment of the 25
per cent balance when cost of pro-
duction has been determined by the
federal trade commission.
The attitude of Washington au.
thorities has already greatly upset
both buyers and sellers. 1t is also rea-
lized that If arbitrary price fixation
is to be enforced by compulsory de-
cree, it will prove most preiHdieial to
the country itself and every interest
in any way connected with the copper
industry. Producer, manufacturer,
miner, laborer and all Independent
parties will feel the detrimental eff
feet of such a course, if it is put into
operation.
IF the working of the natural law
Of supply and demand is to be abro-
gated by one stroke of the pen, indus
try and society may as well become
automatized machines, with nothing
to strive after; worthy ambitions ex-
tinguished and all 2est in enterprise
made an impossibility."

To the right OF the hallway, as one
entered, stood a conventional ma
hogany hat and coat rack, framing a
mirror. On this Peter noticed the rain
coat Craven had worm. His hat lay
on the floor near the foot of the stair
way. Immediately opposite the mirror
an arch admitted to the drawing room,
a room In darkness tempered by the
glow from the hallway.
Just within the arch lay the body of
Thaddeus Craven. supine, limp, with
arms outstretched. Kneeling beside the
body Quoin looked up at Mrs. Ellswor-
thy and demanded in an irritable voice,

was deeply congested and hideous, with
eyes bullying and glazed, with lips swol-
len, purple, and half parted.
Quoin bent an ear to the bosom,
above the heart, sat up and felt for the
pulse In a swollen red wrist, bent again
TO hold his ear close TO the gaping lips.
Then he got up and, looking from Mrs.
Ellsworthy to Peter, nodded sober refu-
tauon of any lingering doubt.
"Gone!" he said. "Not a flicker OF
heart or breath-a stroke of apoplexy
or something. I'm no DOCTOR"
"How did 1t happenf'

Ellsworthy replied with difficulty.
