THE COPPER SITUATION

There has been lul in the buy ing of copper accompanied by slight recessions in price. Sales have been at about the rate of 100000 pounds for the month of May, while pro- duction in estimated at 10000 pounds The most encouraging aspect of the I situation is the fact that the recent activity was based upon grawing do- nestle needs. Wire drawers, who were among the largest purchases of copper recently have received sever al individual orders from power lines for 2,O00. 900 to 3,O0O,OOO pounds of bare copper wire.
 The removal of the French embar- go is a favorable development as it indicates reduction in the surplus stocks in France and makes it pos sible for American producers to fig ure on the French trade again. The
 Italian embargo is expkcted to be lifted in the near future.
 | By far the most encouraging fea- ture of the copper situation is evi dence of larger domestic consump- tiOn and the prospect is for a steady gain in domestic melting in the next few months. At the same time there was less buying on domestic account last week than previously. Total sales for the month, however, to home buyers alone, were close to 120,- 000,000 pounds and including export sales producers disHosed of about 150 000,000 pounds in May on domestic and foreign account for shipment up I to and including August Sales to home consumers during the first five months of the year are estimated at about 3OO,0OO,00 pounds which is at an average of 5O,OOO,OOO pounds a month. This indicates closely the present rate of consumption but total deliveries to home consumers were probably not over 250,OOOOO0 pounds up to June n.
 Sales on foreign account it is in- dicated averaged about 20,000,000 pounds a month, or 200,000,000 pounds during the first five months of the year. It is an interesting fact that sales of between 4,000 and 5000 tons were made for export to Japan about the middle of the month and some shipments against these sales will be reflected in government statistics dur ing the current month.
 A somewhat easier tone accom- panied the smaller buying of copper last week. dealers especially showing some disposition to shade prices for nearby shipment. but producers con- tinued to hold electrolytic firmly at 16.5Oc for June shipment but were asking premiums for later delivery. The result of fluctuations in prices of May was an advance of 1c to one and one eight cent per pound on lake and electrolytic and an advance of 7-S per pound on casting copper. There was recession of Is to 1-4 cent per pound from the highest figures touch ed.
 The probability seems to be that export as we'll as domestic sales will be increased during the next two months At the same time, produc- tion of mines, smelters and refineries will not be increased so that the pros pect for reducing surplus stocks is most encouraging.
 The present relation between the London and New York markets dis courages any expectation of import ant early sales of American copper to English consumers, the evident in- tention of the British government be- ing to dispose of its surplus stocks at home.

Captain Philip II. Sipe, who resides
for several years in lower Nanjemoy
died In La Plata on Sunday morning
last, aged seventy two years. He hat
been living in Florida for five years
where be was comfortably located, bui
his great desire to come back to thi.
county, where he had many friends
and acquaintance, caused him 70
break up and leave that State, but,
owing to physical weakness resulting
from paralysis, the journey was too
much for him and he was again strick-
en- on the way.
Captain Sipe was a Civil War Vet
eran and served in the 10th Pa. Caval-
ry, and was honorably discharged
from the service after the war. His
funeral took place on Monday after
noon, Rev L. r. Levering, Rector of
Port Tobacco Parish, officiating. The

Unfortunate delays in construction
have operated to postpone the opening
of our railroad outlet via White Plains
but it is now believed, at least so we
are told, that before we go to press
again, this line will be an accomplish
ed fact. The primary object of the
new road is to afford relief to the
heavy freight congestion at Washing
ton end in the Navy Yard due to the
physical inability to handle all the in
coming carloads of material by barges
on the river. This congestion is heavy
enough in times OF good weather and
open water, but when the wind is strong
or ice forms and barge traffic is delay
ed freight cars, and demurrage, in
eidentally, accumulate at an alarming
rate. Had this road been in operation
soon after war was declared 1t is safe
to say that its cost would have been
saved at least once, and present build
ing projects advanced much farther by
now, II not ali completed.
As soon as the line is open and in
good working order the Station will
take up with those living along the
new right of way the question of put
ting in sidings for handling incoming
carload lots of materials and the ship
ping Of farm products, etc.
Later it is hoped to put on pass
enger traia if only for the benefit OF
employees who live beyond the village
bringing them in in the morning and
carrying them out at night. For the
benefit OF those going to Baltimore
and beyond over the week end, en-
deavor will be made to connect with
trains on the main line at White
Plains.
To those through whose hands this
line passes the Station wishes to ex-
press its appreciation of their patience
and to assure them that though slow
in coming, just compensation is sure
in the end. PROVING GROUND FRAG-

Corn will be little late because OF
the wet weather but there will be
plenty OF time for it to mature if the
roots are all left for the corn to feed
with. What do l mean? l mean just
this, that there are a number of people
in Charles County who do not seem to
know what corn roots are used for.
They go into their corn fields with
cultivatorc and plows and tear out
the corn roots or expose them to the
hot sun and expect the corn to yield
them good returns. 1t can't be done.
