Each Week Sees Higher Prices Of Steel and Iron
 and End Not h Sight

1 unprecedented prices which continue to rise, buyers of pig iron are facing a try ing dilemma. Quick decisions are being forced by conditions and conservative pol icies are difficult to pursue. The mar ket remains extraordinarily strong, thousb by contrast has been more orderly than the preceding week of unparalleled ao- vances and excited buying, Sales have not been so heavy but have brought new advances of from 8 to g. in all produc- ing territories. Difficulty in getting iron from various furnaces, even for delivery by July of next year. is impelling some consumers to, undertake new lengths in future buying.
 An increasing amount of scattered in- quiry for the third quarter and last half next year, or b to IS months ahead, IS appearing Scrap scarcity has sent buy CTS to securing all districts for material. Settlement of steel prices for big tom mage for government merchant ships hangs on the outcome of the controversy between General Goethals and Chairman Denman of the shipping board, which fast is reaching the breaking point The Pres dent himself may give the final word
 The question of cost of production, now subject of inquiry. will determine final action. In the meantime, placing of ship contracts proceeds vigorously. For the so, coo tons of large rounds for three-inch shells. three point, 75 cents Pittsburg has been fixed upon by the government as the settling price.

Japan's Note Holds That Situation in China Is
 Not So Serious Now

Tokio, Tuesday, June 19.-The situation in China is not so serious as might be believed according to the opinion under stood to have been expressed by the Japanese government in its reply to the American note inviting Japan to asso- ciate herself with the action of the United States in asking the rival factions in China to compose their differences. The Japanese reply gives courteous recogni- ton of the sincerity and high -mindedness of Americas motives in seeking to as- sist China, but sets forth the belief that China is not endangered gravely. More over, it is said conditions have changed since the American note was presented and Japan, therefore, submits her belief that it is not desirable that she forward note to Chira similar to that sent by the United States.

Cleveland, O., June 2O.-(special) )-The ! Iron Trade Review today says:
 Powerful forces over which producer and consumer have little or no control continue to direct the course of the iron and steel market. In raw materials par ticularly pig iron and scrap, the demand for which far exceeds supply, is pro- ducing a kaleidoscope of action and rec ord breaking prices. Each week Is eclips- ing high marks of the preceding one.
 In finished steel the domination of the government requirements is so far-reach- ing that virtually all buying and selling is fast becoming completely subject to war considerations. Prospects of the governments needs expanding by leaps and bounds is leading a growing num- OCT of makers to abandon all open quo- tations. Outside buying is being left more to it's own resources, though mills are making earnest efforts to guard against permanent Injury to established lines of business.

Situation in Spain is
 Not as Reported, Says
 Ambassador Juan Riano

Washington, June 2o.-The Spanish ann bassador, Juan Riano, today issued the following statement in regard to pub lished reports of unrest in Spain:
 ''The news reports circulated in the United States regarding the interior sit- uation of Spain are absolutely incorrect Perfect tranquility prevails both material and moral. Certain complaints of an interior character in one of the branches of the line of the army have been at tended insofar as they were just, and they are in no way related with interior politics and far less with the international policy of Spain, which is being developed normally within the monarchal regime and constitutional practices"

NEW SOURCES OF COPPER
By HOLLAND


 New York June 2O.-(Special )-About year ago a man who is one of the great forces in the copper industry in the United States, with a party of busi- ness friends, some of them men of large capital, visited South America, venturins inland as far as the capital of Bolivia. The excursion was partly for recreation and rest, but also for investigation into certain mining properties and particularly copper, of which reports had come to the American copper producers.
 They found the copper there and the day is not distant probably when Amer ican capital will be invested in these cop per properties For the demand for cop per has reached such stupendous propor- tions, and is so surely to be maintained for some years after the war that the whole world is now being scanned by the experienced eyes of copper producers in the hope that old properties may be highly developed, and new properties be worked.
 Already in South America American capital, part of it in Peru and part of it in Chilli, is invested to the amount of many millions of dollars in the produc- tion of copper, and so satisfactorily in- vested that one of the corporations has recently decided greatly to increase its plant. In one district in Bolivia it was discovered by the American visitors that in the year 1915 nearly 240oo tons of cop per was mined. Not at any previous time in the life of the republic had an amount equaled to or even approaching this been mined in Bolivia.
 The increase was due chiefly to the enormous increase in world demand for ecrper. Much more than 24,000 tons would probably have been produced had it not been for lack of transportation facilities The single railroad which reaches these copper properties was so poor in equip ment, possibly so inefficiently managed that it was not able to handle the traf- fic satisfactorily. The Andes Copper company, which is a subsidiary of the Anaconda Copper company, has recently investigated certain copper properties In Bolivia. The investigation resulted in tentative offer of the mines for certain sum- But it seems to have been not ac- ceptable to the American copper author- ities. although the offer was not abso- lutely turned down. The AmeflcanS were anxious to investigate other fields, espe- cially certain propertses located in Peru. Nevertheless the chances are good that American capital may secure the Coro Ccro copper properties of Bolivia because the copper in those mines was recognized by the experts as resembling the cop per secured from the Calumet and Hecla, the Copper range and other copper mines of northern Michigan.
 Bolivia did export to the United States in 1915 copper to the value of nearly A,- GOO GOO, whereas in the first year of the present century her aggregate export of this commodity was only of the money value of $500000.
