Foreign Output Heavy.

Not only are these South American
and African mines producing great
quantities at the present time. but in
addition Asia and other continents
have producing mines All of these
low-cost producing conditions. as well
as the surplus supplies left over from
the war. have tended to keep the price
Of copper down.
Reports from South America and
Africa indicate that costs are now at
their lowest ebb. Confidential reports
from Chill lead me to believe that the
Chilian government is seriously con-
sidering an appreCiable export tax,
which would have q tremendous effect
on the international copper market.
If any kind of a tax is morally
justified, certainly an export tax on a
natural commodity which is becoming
depleted is truly reasonable. The mo-
rality of all import taxes is questioned
by many people; while the export tax
on annual products, such as wheat,
corn, coffee and rubber. is open TO Sc
rious consideration. The most radi-
cal, however, agree that a nation is

many years ago when copper was used
on roofs only for flashing, but now
with the copper shingles, entire roofs
are being made of copper. Hundreds
OF new uses have been devised during
the past 10 years. The electrical in
dustry will always be dependent on
copper, and the great developments to-
day in public utilities must of neceS-
sity benefit the copper situation.
However, these electrical develop
ments have merely started.
The light and power companies are
today where the railroads were so
years ago. Consultations are on the
increase and great superpower sys-
TENS will be formed. This will greatly
increase the need for copper, both in
the central stations and for transmits
sion lines. Therefore, while the sur

Some Future Possibilities.

Export taxes and higher wages in
connection with foreign copper should
be distinctly beneficial to the United
states copper interests, especially to
the low-grade mines of the Southwest.
The time may even come when the
Lake copper will come back; although
this viii not be in the way which
many people now think. If the Lake
copper companies again become valua-

thing along the lines mentioned above
which takes place in foreign countries
would be bound to react to the benefit
of the United States copper mines.
increases in foreign railroad, steam
ship and other freight rates would
also help domestic copper. The radi-
cal movement now developing among
seamen and the scrapping of ships all
tend toward higher shipping rates
and therefore aids domestic copper as
against foreign copper. 1t takes &
long time for an industry to become
adjusted to new conditions. but the
adjustment in copper eventually will
come about.

In other countries. This change in the

BY ROGER w. BABSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
WELLESLEY HILLS, Mass, Sep
tember 5.-During the war the pro
ductiOn of all basic commodities was
greatly expanded. In certain lines
manufacturing capacity was doubled,
trebled and even quadrupled. What
took place in regard to shipping,
machine tools and various other lines
is common knowledge to all. OF
course, practically all of the ammuni-
tion manufactured during the war
was quickly destroyed. In addition
large amount of iron. steel. maChin-
cry and lumber, together with other
products, was either destroyed or
made practically useless. Since the
other wearing apparel and supplies
has been gradually absorbed at
prices very much below cost.
Copper Market Swamped.
The one commodity. the production
of which was greatly increased for
war purposes and which was not de
stroyed. was copper. Copper is per
haps the most indestruCtible of the
cheaper metals. while it's specific use
e during the war even tended toward its
conservation. The primary use of
copper during the war was for the
casing Of shells. Although the pow
der, shot and the projectile itself were
thrown into the enemy'S camp, the
copper casing of the shell remained
in the gun and was used over and
over again.
After the armistice these copper
shells and the large amount of copper
in other forms was collected and has
since been going into peaCetime uses.
Thus While other products were de
stroyed or quickly absorbed. the cop
per market has been waterlogged for
some years by the oversupply pro
duced during the war and by that
huge amount which was used and sal
Vaged from the battlefields.
Surplus Now Being Used Up.
We are jdst approaching a point
where the surplus amount is being
used up and where all foreign con-
sumers are forced TO buy in the open
market This has resulted in reduc-
ing the copper in storage from $40. 900
tons at the end of 1919 TO about 300,-
600 tons at the present time, a de-
crease around 100000.
Another factor which has had a de-
pressing effect on the price of both
the copper metal and copper securities
has been the great reduction of for
eign mines at a very low cost. l refer
TO mines such as the Chill Copper Co,
in South America, and such as the
Katanga mines, in Africa. Owing to
the tremendous quantities of this low
grade copper ore in South America
and Africa, and the low price of labor,
it has been possible to land the metal
in New York at s cents or less a
pound. When one considers that in
the case of African copper the ka-
tanga mines are several hundred miles
from the seacoast, it will be seen how
low is the cost of the copper at the
mine
