he so desires.
According to word received from Ell
Paso yesterday I1cCormack and Will
liams are to be released by the Blues.
Neither Of these pitchers has shown
up very we1k and the Blues realize
that they must procure some steady
mounsmen to pull them up to the top
of the league. Lines are now out
for new hurlers to reinforce Gomez
and Ruiz this weekend.
The Blues are remaining in Ell

WEEKLY COPPER REVIEW

they can be fulfilled.
The bookings of business with the
General Electric Bcompany for the
first quarter of 1926 were $50, ,4S3,-
65S, or about $3,OOO,OOO more than
the same period of last year. The
first quarter of last year was the
best however, as the bookings in the
second quarter of 1925 dropped to
$66,468,992. The first quarter of
1925 showed an increase over the
quarter Immediately preceding of
about $8,000,000.
1t is not alone in electrical manu-
featuring that copper consumption is
increasing, but also in automobiles and
building construction, two of the
largest users. The average consump-
tion of copper for automobiles for
1926 has been 1850 tons per month as
against 8S60 tons per month last
year. Likewise in building eonstruc-
fion we have been using 443O tons.
per month average in 1925 as against
1890 tons last year.
April production and consumption
figures show up little change over
the figure for March. Primary pro-
duction dropped off somewhat al
though little more than that which
might be caused by the fact that
March had an extra day in it. Ex-
ports did not drop off as much during
April as might have been anticipated
from European conditions totaling 43, :
834 tons in April as against 44,S73
tons in March.
There was a reduction in April Of
1852 tons in refined stocks of copper
and an increase of 1928 tons in blis-
ter stocks. Total copper above
ground May 1 showed a small in
crease of 1866 tons, so that the un-
usually strong statistical position
still remains to favor whatever de-
velopments accrue by way of better
foreign buying.
There has been no material differ
ence in copper statistics from one
month to another during any of the
four months of this year, production,
leXports, domestic consumption, refin-
ed stocks or anything else, except
THAT domestic consumption and ex-
ports combined have been steadily
stantly lowering the surplus stocks of
the refined metal. This is the con-
dition towards which the copper pro-
ducers have been aiming in their
stablization program and such pana-
ceas are cure-alls for the copper sit
| uation, such as the proposed tariff
and other things are receiving scant
consideration.
There are many arguments against
the proposed copper tariff to one for
| it," stated J.. S. Douglas, president
of the Verde Extension Mining com
pany In his address Mr. Douglas
stated the leaders of the copper in
but considered it would be detri-
| ment to the industry.
| He further argued the copper in
dustry was managed by experienced
business men who are better able
tan any meddling politicians to know
the needs of that industry and that
consequently any demand for tariff
on copper should come from the lead
ers of the industry and not from
politicians"
According to the speaker there has
| been slump in the copper industry
| which leaders know how to handle in
a business-like, manner. "The proper
remedy for the slump, he asserted,
lis not a tariff, but the creation of a
new market for copper products and
new uses for the metal itself.
