time to time to meet the requirements of changing ore, alterations which will not represent large cost and yet will provide highest efficiency. Practically the whole of the plants will 20 on in service for many years As said above, the tuning up of the several plants is practically finished. The beginning of the making of copper by the new proc ess will be witnessed early in the month and around the middle of the month l New Cornelia will be turning out the highest grade electcolytic copper fino | ing its way on the markets of the world, the electrolytic treatment beins l complete when the metal leaves the | Ajo plant and the copper ready for i'm l mediate delivery to the consumer
 The Price of Copper
 Downward tendency in the price of copper recently has been checked by reports of pending large sales for wal | LSeS Meantime there is really no cop | per for sale. Quotations can be hie,l or | low without material effect on the met 1 al. Everybody is sold far ahead Con- sumers for the time being are supplieL 1 with metal for their more pressing ue mands. The balance, all they can gel away from, they are showing well into | the future. It is no longer possible to get delivery under. period of months, | for instance, on an electric motor oi 1 any size above the smaller ones, oi l which there is some stock ahead. EV cry motor, by the way. makes large | consumption of copper. There are the 1 brushes and the Innings beside the oth | CT better known copper parts, and fol l which no substitute can be made. Pos slbility of abrupt ending of the Europe
 an war has had a considerable part in 1 the lowering of metal quotations. While definite peace news would doubtless have some tendency toward bringing general market collapse, no occurrence of that kind is looked forward to as i likely of having long lie at any high pitch. In copper and steel particularly i there is the best of reason to anticipate l they will quickly stabilize after the | first upset and that the figures theA
 settle around will be q fair one anc assured of some years of continuance.
