LOOK FOR BRISK REVIVAL
IN THE COPPER INDUSTRY

NEW YORK. January 15-Belief
that the copper industry, especially
the export trade, is likely to witness
brisk revival within the next few
months, if loans now under negotia-
tion between American bankers and
various European countries reach the
hnal stage. is expressed here in trade
circles.
Switzerland and Italy. countries
which are especially handicapped by
reason Of their lack of coal contem-
plate enormous purchases of copper
here in furtherance of governmental
plans to harness their vast water re-
sources
Germany, which Is sending large
quantities of her coal to France un-
also is in the market for large guam
Sties of copper.
In addition to the heavy toll in coal
which Germany has to pay to France.
German industrial interests which
always have been prominent in the
manufacture of electrical appliances
also will buy extensively of American
copper once their credits here are re-
established.
Belgium and most of the new coun-
tries of central and eastern Europe
are reported to be contracting in this
market for supplies OF copper. that
metal entering largely into the up
building of their railways and many
industries.
1t is estimated that the present sur
plus of copper here approximates
750,00o,000 pounds. of which more
than half will likely be taken for
foreign use.

EARLY CLEAR|NGS
T0START MONDAY
Movement Will Expedite
Business at the Banks.
Local Stocks Slow.

Another change in the method OF
handling bank clearinGs has been
agreed upon so far as six of the
district are concerned.
Officials of the Riggs National, Ma
tional Metropolitan. Commerc Fed
eral. District National and American
National banks have agreed to hold
9 O'Clock clearings in the morning for
the checks of the preceding day that
were not cleared the debts and cred
its to be added to the results at the
regular clearings and settlements
made as usual.
The entire object of the early session
is for the purpose of getting checks re-
turned to the various banks and into
the hands of the clerical force just that
much earlier, thereby speeding the work
of entry of the checks during an hour
in the morning when business is usually
light thus materially shortening the
days work of the clerks.
Other national banks may take adj
vantage of the movement at pleasure
and it is probable that others will, but
the movement starts with the nearby
Institutions as its sponsors.
Credit for the new initiative. which
will start on Monday, is given to r b

NEW YORK, January 15.-Dun's re-

"While progress toward recovery is

only developed after further price

in lines where an extension Of the

shadowed. Indications multiply, how
ever. that certain trades are beginning
to emerge from their long-continued
lethargy, the improvement in dry
goods conditions being especially con-
spicuous. and the increased attend

markets is evidence alike of their re-
newed interest and a growing need
for merchandise.
