Copper Outlook Frightening

John ID. Ryan says world copper con-
sumption in ~ months ended April /,
1920, greatest in history, including the
war years. Europes stocks practically
exhausted.
'The fact that the consumption in
one year has reduced the stocks in
Europe to the absolute minimum with
which those countries can carry on
business, and has wiped out all the
governments surplus stocks, with only
nominal consumption in Germany,
which has heretofore been. outside Of
the United States, the principal copper
consuming nation of the world, leaves
the metal situation such that the only
stocks available for new consumption
are held by the American producers
and the amount unsold is not NOR,
than sufficient to furnish reasonabl,
reserve considering the worlds needs

Great Consumption Of Copper Predicted
as Metal Surplus ShrinlSs

According to Walter Douglas. presi-
dent Of the Phelps-Dodge corporation,
the ccuntrys surplus stocks on had de-
not exceed third Of the quantity OF.
land at the beginning of 1919. lie sand
The worlds copper consumption was
greater now t.Hn ever. with an out
k.a for even greater consumption.
The United Star produced bi'i,u
aId half pounds Of the two ana lnlf
billion pounds Consumed for the year
ended April l, 1870.
&lr Douglas said mining facilities a,
lNacoznri, Sonola, were being doubled
To handle increased demands. Concen-
trution mills also are being enlarged
| in Tyrone, n. NJ, in Globe and the
Warren district of Arizona.
As additional copper companies make
their reports for 1919, they show that
the majority not only earned more than
their dividends, but were able to set
aside pretty fair proportio nof enrn-
ings for surplus. The improvement
in the copper trade is reflected by the
resumption of the 50 dividend by the
Calumet-Ileca. Many Of the companies
have already increased their operating
forces and expect to have much larger
production 10y the end Of the summer.
May copper sales, foreign and domes-
tic. were estimated at G2,OOO,OO0
pounds. This was Il substantial drop
from the activity of the previous
months of this year, as shown by the
following totals: April, 1l00OO,o0O
pounds, As comparedplefdcih shrdluh
pounds; March, 320OO0,000 pounds
February. 100000 pounds; and Jan
luary, 230,OOOO0O As 4Sl,OOO,OOO
pouuds we're sold in December, thu
sales for the last six months were ap'
proximatcly 1,3OO,OOO0OO pounds, Pro
duction has averaged about 15O,OOo,OU
mounds a month except for May. Sale'
during the six months period have
= exceeded production by about 4oo'

Financing Export Copper

A matter of interest to all copper
producers are the efforts being made
to extend credits to foreign purchasers,
either through the Copper Export As
ISOLATION or through some other finan-
cial corporation. Regarding this sub
ject the Arizona Mining Journal states
as follows:
an many Of the European countries
the surplus OF copper has been reduced
to such an extent that manufacturers
are not able to 20 ahead at full capacl-
ty until they can get raw material
from the United States. Copper has
been bought by them in moderate
amounts recently. but they now state
that their demands will be three times
as great II they can secure the proper
credits. If this credit is established
1t will be in the form Of a revolving
fund, providing for payment in Ameri-
ca to the copper producers ON the basis
of the turnover of manufactured arti-
cles abroad.
"The plan does not solve the foreign
exchange problem, but manufacturers
In France state this is not an obstacle
at the present time. Business In that
country is thriving with only a mod
crate amount OF raw material on hand
to cope with the complet rehabilitation
of many Industries. 1t is stated that
It will be impossible to supply copper
for electrical industries and allied
business for some time to come
French manufacturers are already
in the local market for copper In large
amounts. The surplus Of the red metal
in America has been greatly reduced
according to leading producers. when
compared with the same period Of 1919.
If foreign buying continues on large
scale as contemplated, our surplus
stock of copper will be quickly alb
sorbed."

ri Paso Smelter Explains About Silver
FL Paso, Tex, June 10, 1920.

III drOf A0Asf oH@tt ~ @'-Ns
In connection with the very rapid
decline in the price Of silver and the
possible purchase Of silver by the
United States Government under the
pittman Act, 1t will probably be essen
tial that each offering Of silver to the
United States Government be. accom-.
panied by a sworn statement showing
the origin OF the silver TO be entirely
within the United States.
Apparently any silver coming from
foreign countries will be excluded
from purchases under the PittmaI
Act.
We are today in receipt of the fol
lowing telegram from our New Yorl
office:
1--WE are working out with Gov
eminent, details through which
Government will purchase silver
as provided for in Pittman Act.
Undoubtedly price ultimately to
be paid will be $1.0O per ounce, less
adjustment for flneness and less
cost Of delivery to mint which
Government will designate, esti-
mated at about five-eighth of one
cent per ounce. 1t will probably
take Government sometime to fl
nally get matter adjusted through
various Departments. Meanwhile
we suggest that in cases where
you can secure certificates of pro-
duction In United States, that you
make preliminary settlement on
basis Of regular New York quota
ton. with the understanding that
as soon as the Government matter
is settled we will adjust price so
that miners will get equivalent Of
mint price, which will probably be
$685. cents per ounce, minimum;
always provided that we are en-
abled TO sell this silver to Govern
ment under the arrangement indi-
Gated. Please endeayor to get
miners to use all possible linflu-
ence with Government to get mat
ter adjusted without undue de-
lay"
We suggest that in localities wher
there are Chambers Of Commerce
would be proper for each Chamber
telegraph and write the Congressme
and Senators from their respective di
tricts, ON this important subject. a
though Congressshas adjourned, i
doubt these representatives will be alb
to indicate some course Of procedur
We believe no further legislation Is r
quired but pressure should be brougl
to bear on the various Governments
Departments, particularly the Urea
ury Department, in order to make Il
Pittman Act operative without undl
delay.
: Meanwhile in purchasing silver
ores and other products we viii mai
settlement on regular New York qn
tation, with the understanding that co
Irection will be made to the basis Of Il
net price finally received from the Go
eminent, as indicated In the telesrn
herein quoted; always provided th
shippers will furnish us with swo
statements which will enable us 10 di
pose of the silver contained in th,
products, to the Government under q
pittman Act as described.
