Roger w. Babson S survey on the
ndnstry}is particularly helpful in
lhiS connection. In report of his
Sindings issued today, the statistic
fan pictures the situation clearly.
1.-The copper industry has for
tome time been rolling in the dol
lrums of low prices and depressed
market conditions,' says Mr.. Bah
ION. From August, 1921 through
but 1922 and into the first quarter
If this year, prices moved steadily
fpward. In March temporary re
lction set i'll and during the past
teven months the. trend has been
markedly downward. Present quo
1ations are on Il par with those of
the early part Of 1929.
Apparent domestic consumption,
since the low points of 1921, has
continued III I'm uninterrupted rise.
hbout 100,00O,O00 pounds were con
iumed by domestic manufacturers
Curing 1921 100000, 600 pounds dur
ing 1922, and an estimate for the
present calendar year places the
Tmount in excess of 100000, Il
figure closely approximating that of
haXimum war activity during 1913.
"Thc export situation is com
Saratively good and improving. Ex-
bort figures have risen steadily
from 504 100000 for the fiscal year
inding June, 1921, to an amount
,hat will probably exceed 100000
700 pounds for the present calendar
lear. This figure is in excess of
my previous 20 1912, and closely
spproximates the years immediately
preceding the war.
J Not Much Decline
During the past seven months
dhere has been no .appreciable de
line in manufacturing activity. Ac-
,nal domestic consumption has had
bnly Il slight recession. Exports

Ow the average point for the first

cooper buying has always come
