The tputh Ia that copper and a
feW industries like II represent an
exceptional phenomenon, not a typi-
cal one. II Was posHible for the
price Of coppe, to decline AS much
as ii did only because the copper
companies held greatly accumu-
lated supply. II has been only the
desire of the companies to get rid
OF this supply that has led to the
present low price. The current
price is lower than the current cost
of production Of most of the leading
copper mines. Such a condition
would be manifestly impossible if
consumers were dependent for their
supply solely on the current output
of the companies. The companies
would simply not produce. If the
cost of production of the copper
companies remains the same when
the present accumulated supply has
been consumed, and the worlds
consumption remains as great as
before the war, it will be impossible
for copper to sell as low as Is cents.

This present government loan is
the only great war loan, with the
exception of the first, in which the
money market and the stock market
have been free of restrictions. The
stock market has never before main
tanned a more active pace from dav
to day. the loan will absorb billions
OF dollars; and vet money is easy,
The explanation lies partly in the
lack of demand for money from
business, and partly in the remark
able lack of increase in stock mar
ket borrowing,

The mind adjusts itself slewly
and with great pain, lsreeoneep-
tiohs stand before the battering Of

indeed, it seemed ineseapable to
say-that when war demand dis
appeared prices would drop. Nearly
half Il year has passed since war
demand disappeared, and prices Of
commodities in general have
dropped only ) per cent. You would
think business folk with precon-
ceptions would begin to ask whether
they had not reasoned wrongly or
incompletely, whether new business
was not going ahead on the old
level. But no; because prices have
not yet gone as far down as they
were expected to go, your mind
with preconception can see only
that the decline is still to come.
