Nevada Consolidated
Earnings Take Drop
Copper Is Produced at Higher
Cost and Sells for
Less

Rising costs Of production and lower
prices for copper sold are held largely
responsible for the decrease in the net
earnings of the Nevada Consolidated
Copper Company in the September
quarter. The official report issued yes
terday disclosed net earnings of 81, $685.
324. compared with S3,546,751 in the
June quarter and $3,90l,l9 in the cor
responding quarter of 1916. After the
payment of dividends there remained
a deficit of S544,196 for the quarter,
against a surplus of Sl,31l ,542 in the
June quarter and a surplus of $685.
34S a year ago.
During the quarter copper produced
amounted to 20.2l7 ,673 pounds, against
20,8l7,356 in the June quarter. Earn
ings were based on a copper price Of
20.76 cents a pound, compared with
25085 cents for the nine months. In
Guiding the item of depreciation, the
cost of the copper produced by the
Nevada plants was 1923 cents a pound,
compared with 1919 cents in the June
quarter.

The iron and steel industry IS re-

rolling mills. Foundry production IS

duction has been cut down from 20 10
80 per cent. The origin of the con-
gection continues to be laid both 10
sluggish transportation and unstable
labor. Production of fuel does not
seem TO be at fault since in some cases
coke is being drawn and dumped on
the ground because it cannot be moved.

"As priority rulings multiply" says
"The Iron Age" "the disturbances
from steel scarcity in certain minor
lines increases, and it becomes clearer
that the list of affected businesses will
grow.
Little finished steel is being sold
for general commercial needs. most
mills being sold for three to six

shipments are still being made on con-
tracts at lower prices than those lately

WASHINGTON, Nov. IA govern
ment Corner" on all silver produced IN
the United States within the next year
is planned jointly by American and
British officials to prevent the compe-
tition of purchases by other foreign
governments from raising prices to the
point where coinage becomes unproht-
able.
Representatives of the two govern
ments are comforting with leading sill
yer producers, it was learned to-day,
on proposed contracts under which the
governments would virtually control
the silver market for a year at price
somewhat lower than the prevailing
rate of Sc cents an ounce.
Trade Will Be Supplied
This plan does not contemplate the
cutting off of supply to jewellers and
other users of silver, since the govern
ment would use only part of the metal
under contract for coinage, and would
release the balance for normal indus
trial purposes. One of the chief re-
suits would be to place restrictions on
the acquisition of silver by Oriental
countries, where a greatly enlarged de.
mand for silver coins has been caused
by commercial activities of the war.
More than 100000 ounces Of silver
were produced in the United States In
1916, and this years output promises
to be greater. Director of the Mint
Bakers report shows that the govern
ment used 13,314,000 ounces for coin
age during the year ending June 80
and probably will use 100000 ounces
this year. Great Britain needs guam
titles of silver for coins, particularly
in India, where they are generally
used.
Shortage Of Coin Acute
Reports reached the mint to-day that
an acute shortage of small silver coins
exists in the Philippines, and that the
Christmas shopping season Will make
the condition worse. All minis now
are working twenty-four hours day
seven days a week, to increase the out
put of "change," including one cent
pieces. for which war activities and
war taxes have caused strong de-
mand.

Great Britain to Take
6O,OOO,OOO Ozs. of Silver,
Mostly to Ship to India

Information obtained from silver
dealers in the local market yesterday
was that the United States government
had negotiated with leading American
smelling and mining interests for 100
600 900 ounces of the silver output for
the coming year. OF this amount. it
was said Great Britain would prob
ably take 6O,OOO,OOO ounces for ship
ment TO India. to pay the natives for
iute. hemp and other commodities for
which there is an urgent need among
the Allies.
For a year or more commercial in
terests in Great Britain, the United
States and other countries trading with
India have found it difficult to make
payments for goods bought in that
country. India has sold the world much
more than she has bought, and has de-
manded payment in hard money. Gold
end silver has been shipped there from
