The anticipated rise in the price of copper has started with quota tions at 14A cents, the first appear ance of the price above IA cents last May. It is generally felt that the predictions of copper at 15 cents by the first of January will be veri- fled. It is not exepected, however, to be beyond 15 cents for some time.
 In spite of the fact that the re- finery output of copper for the month of October was larger then :n any one month in over three years, sufficient to reduce the surplus of the sales during that month were copper an additional 30,000000 lbs. The continual reduction of the sur plus even in the face of increasing production looks good, for < refinery production is now at the rate of about two billion pounds of copper a year from all sources and it must be remembered that the highest pro- duction in history is less than two and a half billion pounds.
 It is estimated that the surplus at the end of 1922 will be about 250.- 900 ,000, which is below a normal figure. This is less than sixty day supply of the metal Another interesting note is sounded in the statement that now 60To of the cop per is used for domestic consump- tion while 4096 is for foreign use. This is exactly the reverse of the figures that held before the war.
 There is little change in the cop: per situation in Arizona as the limiting of output is being largely controlled by the shortage. of skilled labor and many of the mines are finding it necessary to do training work to secure miners. There is a tendency to increase production as fast as the man power can be mob ilized
 "Optimistically pessimistic" is the way Gordon R. Campbell, of Calumet, Mich, president of the Calumet & Arizona Mining Company, feels Conditions now are certainly a great deal better than they weret he says. Just what will happen dur ing the next few months I do not know. I don't expect to see sud den boom in the copper industry; and we do not want that. But we do want, and hope to see, a steady ! improvement. During the last few months copper has shown a tendency to creep up to 14 cents pound and | then fall back a few fractions. Four teen cents seems to have been its | limit In a short time I would not De surprised to see copper around 1 15 cents and holding that figure.
 Regarding the surplus: My ih formation is that there is only abou 60-day supply of refined copper or | hand now. That is approximately normal surplus. The demand is fair and we look for it, to grow better. ] great deal was heard, year CT moro ago, about the scrap copper tha
 was being put on the market. Al lNtlat seems to have been take III

now. Certainly scrap copper is not bothering the present market"
 Otimism with relation to the com dition of the copper market charact- erized the views of Samuel A Lew isohn of the Miami Copper Company. There has been brisk demand for the metal and also a very satisfac- tory consumption, declared MT. Lew ishon. "The increase in the con- sumption of copper in this country has been due to increased business activity. The expansion of hydro electric power development and the identification of railways has been of influence. European is even now going toward by leaps and bounds The slackening of the past consump tion of Germany has been more ! than taken care of by the increases coming K'om France, England and Belgium.
 COPPER SITUATION: The anti cipated rise in the price of copper has started with quotations at 14A cents, the first appearance of the price above II cents since last May It is generally felt that the predic tions of copper at 15 cents by the first of January will be verified. It is not eXepected, however, sto go beyond 15 cents for some time. An other interesting note is sounded in the statement that now 609o of the copper is used for domestic consump tion while 60% of the copper is used for domestic consumption while 40@t is for foreign use. This is exactly the reverse of the figures that held before the war.

BANK OF PHOENIX ORDERED BACK ID
 THE RECEIVER

PHOENIX, Dec. 19.-In the suit of Andrew Baumert, Jr., receiver of the Bank of Phoenix, against the state treasurer, auditor and attorney gen eral, upon the hearing of the order to show cause why the state officers should not turn over to the receiver assets of the face value of $542, 213. AS, a hearing was had before Judge Jenckes yesterday in which George R. Hill, assistant attorney general, represented the defendants and At torney Will E. Ryan represented the receiver. After an argument which lasted some two hours, based upon the allegations of the complaint filed by the receiver, Judge Jenckes in ally ordered that preliminary in junction issue according to the pray CT of the complaint, which was to the effect that "the defendants and each of them be mandatorially directed and required to surrender all secur- ities in the possession of the state treasurer for the purported purpose of securing the balance of state de- posit in the Bank of Phoenix, and that the receiver liquidate all of such surrendered securities as a, part of the assets of the receivership for the benefit of persons. creditors and others who may ultimately be en- titled to the proceeds of such a liqui- dation" The order also enjoins the defendants, both as individuals and officials from any further interfer- ence with the plaintiff in the matter of that liquidation of those assets pending the suit in which the in junction was issued.
 Under this order, the receiver will be required to give an additional $5O,000 injunction bond for the bene- fit of the state, and the court also directed that the receiver make such bond at the expense of the as sets of the receivership. If the in junction order is complied with, the state officers will ndoubtedly forth with turn over all the notes and SC curities which, under the allegations of the complaint were delivered to the state treasurer, Raymond R. Earhart, on the day the bank closed its doors, and proceed to collect, ad
 just and compromise them for the interest of the bank, leaving the question as to the right of the state treasurer to undertake to secure a state deposit in the manner in which it was attempeted in connection with the Central Bank, a matter for future determination when the case is fin ally heard upon it's merits.

PUBLIC DEBT IS SS40,00O,O00
Unconsolidatcd Municipal Indebted ness in Argentine Amounts to Over 500 Million Pesos.

Buenos Aires, Dec. 29.-Argentina's unconsolidated public debt now amounts to so9,574,21S pesos, or roughly $340,000,000. according to figures submitted by the Accountants Generals department to the new min ister of finance, pr. Vegas, who sought the information to prepare the budget of 1923.
 The figures are noted with surprise by some newspapers, which refer to former statistics indicating that tllS debt was some 1S4,000,000 pesos less. It appears from the report that the 184, 100000 consists of debts not sub- ject to any precise term of payment, the remainder being represented by liabilities maturing at specific dates. A bill for the authorization of an internal loan to consolidate the debt, in whole or in part .to being consid- cred by the Ministry of Finance in lieu of seeking a foreign loan.
