lie utilities. especially the power and
light companies. are in better condi-
ton today than ever before in their
history. They not only are popular
with investors but are entitled to this
prosperity being on the eve of most
brilliant and spectacular develop
ments. 1t is very easy for light and
power companies TO secure money
for new developments and improve
ments. A portion of this new money
is always spent for copper. The rail-
roads also have come back in public
favor. This year should see more rail-
road securities sold than has any
previous year for nearly a decade.
As soon as railroads can afford to
do so. they are bound to spend a
certain amount of money on e~lectri-
fication. All this should benefit the
copper industry. In addition to these
two great factors the general de-
mand for copper in connection with
building and for other industrial pur-
poses is constantly increasing. The
low price for copper during the past
few years has been of itself a factor

COPPER OUTLOOK IS
MPROVINC--BABSO
Public Utility and Railroad Expansion to Bring
Benefits, Statistician Says in Survey
OF Industry.

BABSON PARK, Mass, jan. "a
Higher prices have been forecast for
copper for over two years and while
there has been some strengthening
in quotations. the increase has been
slight. lie copper industry has seem.
ed to lag behind the other Industries.
Both producers and investors became
discouraged. Recently, however,
there has been a real Strengthening
in the price of the metal which is
now selling around 10 cents a pound.
In commenting Oh this today Roger
W. Babson. the statistician. made
the following statement:
1T is true that copper has suffer
cd a long period of depression. The
dullness has been due to many rea-
sons first, to the tremendous sur
plus that was produced during the
war. Unlike man particles of food
and other semi-perishable goods, this
copper was not destroyed but was
available at the end of the war for
commercial uses. 1t has taken about
six years 10 use up this surplus wal
production. The second reason for
tne COutllutu INV piIcts HAS Dten
the opening OF great low grade mines
in South America, Africa and other
foreign countries.
To-day the situation is much i'm.
proved. The surplus supplies have
been used up. The market has be-
come adjusted to these new low
grade producers in South America
and Africa, while the demand has
been continually increasing. General
business as reflected by the Babson-
chart is running at 6 per cent above
normal. Copper is in a better posi-
ton today than it has been for sew
eral years. This is evidenced not only
by the strengthening in the price
OF the metal and the increased EN-
ployment in the industry. but by the
fact hat investors are again becom-
ing 'keenly interested in copper Sc
~curlties. The recent declaration of
dividends by leading producers has
naturally Increased this interest.
