Labor Troubles
Cut Inspiration
Copper's Profits
Earns Only $9.37 a Share
on Stock in 1917, Against
$17.45 the Year Before

Curtailment of production as re-
suit of labor troubles was reflected in
the annual report of the Inspiration
Consolidated Copper Company issued
yesterday. Sales for 1917 totalled S21,-
42,2l7, compared with $33, ,49e,343 the
preceding year. Net income after op-
erating expenses, interest charges, de-.
probation and Federal taxes of $t,lS5,-
249, was SO 903 ,5SS, to which was add
ed Sl11,l44 of other income, making a
total net income OF Sl1,0s0,732. This
was equal to S9.37 share on 1,1s1.96
shares Of stock ($29 par value) compar-
ed with Sl745 a share earned in 1916.
Last years surplus, after payment of
S9,751,227 in dividends, was sl,329, sos,
against l2,001, i3S reported al the close
o; 1916.
The report stated that refined cop
per production IN 1917 amounted to
S0,566,9o2 pounds In 1917 l2O,772. .637
pounds were produced. Although the
fixing Of prices by the government be-
came effective hefore the close of the
year. the average price received for the
metal IN 1917 vas 1886 cents a pound,
compared with 1888 cents a pound the
previous year. c. +. Mills commented in
the report on last years operations as
follows:
'Production for the first half of the
year was l2.9 per cent above the aver
age for like number of months in
the previous year. Operations during
the latter part of the year were in
tcrrupted by 4 strike brought about ST.
nUltaneOusly in the first ten DAYS
cf July by agents OF the |. W. w. and
the international Union of Miners, Mill
and Smelter Workers. Work was re-
sumed in the mine August 23 and the
mill started September l.
"On October 20 the strike was de-
clared Off, we having at that date 96S
men in our employ, most of the draft
men and the other Americans having
previously returned to work. We al
ready had ample forces in all depart
mcnts except the mine. Owing to the
demands Of the draft and the inclina-
ton of men TO move from place to place
under the demands Of war work it has
been difficult to recruit our mine force
to the number employed during the
first part of the year.
Our ore output has gradually in
creased until 1t this time daily ton
mage is about normal The local in
crease in the cost of producing cop
per for the year as against the pre-
vious one has been due to the inter
ruption of the strike, increased prices
paid for labor and material, increased
state and county taxes, and to decreas
ed yield from the ore treated. The
ore yielded 22.46 pounds per ton il
1916 and 2039 pounds in 1917. Thi:
result was mainly due to the active
working of a new stope, which was
not in commission in 1915, yielding ore
OF satisfactory margin at presen
prices of copper, but OF lower grade
than the average. The percentage O
,. copper recovered from the ore by th'
concentrator vas practically the same a
last wear. which indicates slightly bet
ter work in view OF the lower grade
of ore treated"

ihe Dollar in Foreign EXCHANGE

Demand sterling rates advanced
slightly last week as a result Of hot
ter mail facilities and also easier
money market conditions here. Lon
oon sight drafts sold toward the end
OF the week at s4751a. the highest
rate for this form of remittance in
months. Cable transfers remained un-
changed at the fixed rate of S4767-16
Neutral exchanges continued to adj
vance, with Spanish pesetas being es-
tablished above 26 cents, new high
record. This brought the dollar to a
discount of about 36 per cent in terms
OF Spanish currency, and there were
reports that the United States govern
ment may take steps to stabilize the
market for peseta exchange and restore
the dollar to an exchange value nearer
normal
Dutch guilders were also strong, ad.
vanclng above AZ cents. Italian ex
change rates were easier. The total
volume of business done in the local
foreign exchange market last week was
somewhat less than usual of late
If you calculate the cost of the dollar
in terms of foreign money at par value
that is, as ii you were buying dollars
with pounds, marks or francs-its
value at the close of last week, as COM
pared with year ago, would be about

Business Active
Throughout Country
But Labor Shortage Is Trou-
blesome in Many Places,
SAYS Reserve Board

WASHINGTON, April g. - Good
spring weather has stimulated business
activities everywhere, and both COM
mercial and industrial conditions are
much improved, according to the Fed
eral Reserve Boards monthly review
to-day. Industries, particularly in the
East, though busy, still are hampered
somewhat by lack of adequate trans
poration and labor scarcity. Some dis
tricts, especially in the south Atlantic
states, complain of unsettled labor con-
ditons.
Bank clearings have increased in all
districts except Philadelphia, and
money rates are steady at 6 per cent.
By districts the report shows:
Boston - General business active;
labor scarce and we'll paid.
New York - Business good; bank
clearings slightly increased over last
year; skilled labor demand above sup
ply.
ladelphia-Busines good; wages
high.
Cleveland d-Necessary industries busy;
conditions unsettled.
Richm mond-Government building ac-
tive.
Atlanta - Business above normal;
labor unsettled.
Chcago-Essential industries fully
employed; labor generally satisfied.
st. Louis-Business active; labor un-
settled.
Minneapolis-B Business good; labor
conditions also good.
Kansas City-Business good; labor
conditions unsettled.
Dallas-Early revival Of building ex-
pected; labor scarce.
San Francisco-Business active; con-
struction 13 per cent less than year
ago; labor conditions unsettled, but i'm
proving.
