How Copper Situation
 Has Adjusted Itself

cents a pound. Later the market be. gan to weaken somewhat, and by July was down to a range of between 26 1-2 and 30 1-2 cents.
 First Government Purchase Meanwhile the United States gov. ernment, having become belligerent. was intent upon a preparedness pro. gram which included among other things, at the outset, 49.OOO, ,OOO hounds of copper. It had no intention of pay. ing the market price, and the pro. ducers were appealed to on the score of patriotism to make a fair price great deal of quiet dickering followed between Washington and New York. and cost investigation was instituted. which established the fact that copper cost something between 8 and 12 cents a pound, according to the producer. On the strength of this assumption an agreement was finally reached where by this 49,000,0OO pounds was sold to the government at 1867 cents a pound. The effect was electrical upon the market. The large consumers of cop. per in the United States objected strenuously to paying 30 cents for what could be sold without loss at less than r cents. There was little use to argue that this was a very specu- lative price and that it was made solely for motives patriotic. The consumers failed to see it in the same light, and the market began to weaken, until a 25-cent level for spot copper was reached
 Supplying the Small Customer One difficulty arose in respect to the plan. It was to supply the small con- sumer, who usually bought his copper in less than carload lots The main motive for the establishment of the copper producers committee was the elimination of all speculative buying. and one of the provinces of the com. mittee is to see that all the copper sold passes into the hands of manufactur- | ing consumers. For a time it declined to recognize the jobber at all, but, as
 1t was not in position to furnish ton
 lots to consumers, and as the latter
 had to be provided for in some way,
 an arrangement was perfected, with
 the sanction of the government, where
 by jobbers approved of by the com
 mittee were allowed to purchase cop
 per by the carload at the established
 price of 23 1-2 cents, and distribute
 it among their customers at a gross
 profit of per cent, which made the
 price to the smaller consumers 2407 1-2 cents a pound.
 In some ways those dealers who held
 contracts for copper at prices above
 23 1-2c cents, and who could not dis
 pose of it at the so-called legal price
 without serious loss, managed to gel
 rid of it quietly though without direc
 permission, so that as the year closed
 the market was undisturbed by fric tion or irregularities of any kind.

In the export Of animal fats, except
dairy products, the average OF pre-war
years to all countries amounted to
326,019 tons, with q shipment Of 22O,0S5
tons last year showing a decrease OF
1875 per cent. In the pre-war years
a little less than one-third of our total
in these exports went to the United

one-half Of our available surplus Of

The average Of three pre.war y6Shs'

exports were 295,90s- tons. or, an in

Polish People
Are Recognized
BeLLigerentS

Washington. Nov. 5.-The Polish
army. under the supreme political
authority Of the Polish national
committee. was recognized yester-
day by the United States govern
ment as autonomous and co-belliger-
ent. Secretary Lansing so announced
in letter sent to Roman Dmowski,
president of the Polish committee,
who is now in Washington.
Secretary Lansing said the Amer
lean government feels a deep sym
pathy for the Polish people and
views with qualification the progress
of the Polish cause. He also said 1t
had not been unmindfuI OF the zeal
and tenacity with which the Polish
national committee. which has head
quarters at Paris. has prosecuted the
task Of marshalling its fellow coun-
tTymen in a supreme military effort
to free Poland from It's present op-
pressors.
The action Of the American gov
eminent is similar to that taken re-
Gently by France. Great Britain and
Italy.

that variation from the Austrian
conditions.
Foch TO See It's Done
One feature of the Austrian sur
render conditions which Is thought
here to be duplicated in the German
terms is the entrusting to Marshal
grams of rehabilitation and disarrn-
ament.
Much 20 Be Settled
Attention already is being given
here to the next phase after warfare
ceases. Officials have not lost sight
of the fact that armistices are only
stepping stones to the permanent
settlement of all the issues OF the
war. Political questions. boundaries
even. commercial rights and privl-
leges, all remain to be defined.
Haste Is Needed
Both in the United States and IN
the Allied countries it is said the ne
cessity is recognized of setting in
motion the wheels of peace time in
dustry at the earliest possible mo-
ment in order to afford employ
ment and support to the millions OF
discharged soldiers. This is expect
ed to hasten the peace conference
once the Germans surrender. 1t is
recalled that whereas the arn1istice
or protocol which stopped the Span
fsh- American war was signed on
Aug. IL, 1898, it provided in its terms
for a meeting Of the peace pIenipo-
tentiaries in Paris before Oct. l.
following. The purpose was to as
sefnble the conference at the earliest
practical moment.
Probably the Same purpose will
govern in the present instance, al
lowing only a sufficient time to
elapse to carry out the conditions
looking to the rehabilitation of the
central powers armies, assembling
and control of military supplies and
establishment of garrisons.
Victors TO Rule
The entente allies and America
expect to go into the conference only
after they have reachd perfect un-
derstanding among themselves. They
will lay down these terms and while
they may choose to permit the lat
ter to make arguments and "pleas in
abatement" the result in the end
must be what the victors choose to
make it.
Deprived of any power of resist
ance, it is pointed out. the Teutons
will be obliged to submit, even
though they might refuse to sign
treaties in which case the military
occupation Of their countries by the
continue indefinitely.
