WEEKLY COPPER REVIEW

the use of copper and brass wire cloth
for screen has increased materially
during the last year while the use of
galvanized screen has decreased in just
about the same amount, which indi-
Gates that there is just as much screen
being purchased, but more of it of
coppr than formerly. There was about
1900 tons less galvanized screen used
in 1926 as against 1924. The biggest
increase, however, came in brass wire
cloth rather than in the straight cop
per cloth.
Probably the most encouraging fea-
ture of the copper market which gives
the forecast of what we may expect
has been the ability for copper to
maintain itself in price in the face of
the European Industrial situation and
particularly the British strike Cop
per did not decline as did many other
commodities and, despite much de-
pressing news, the copper market
seemed to distinctly mark up a, bot.
tom price of 13 7-S cents
The conclusions which one may draw
from the copper situation for many
months past is that it is going to con-
tinue to make no spectacular or even
any material change for a considerable
time to come Copper has apparently
reached it's bottom at 13 7-S cents and
ics top at IA cents and the producers
are apparently holding the price at
that point while the evidence from the
consumers indicates that they believe
that it is not going to rise.
Thus we may forecast quiet sum-
mer although those who use the cop
per situation in it's relation to copper
stocks are quite optimistic as to the
probable effect on the copper market

pany, indicating that the present pol
icy of hand-to-mouth purchasing will
not be followed when the operations

BY CHARLES #. WILLIS,
Editor The Mining journal.

The copper situation is still devoid
of any features, with transactions in
fair volume both for European and
domestic markets, little or no buying
ahead, the consumers feeling confident
of getting metal at present. prices
whichever they wish to buy and the
producers holding tight at 13 rs
cents to IA cents.
Much of the buying of copper for
domestic use is for. immediate deliv-
cry and practically none ahead of
June delivery, which indicates that
the fabricators have a comparatively
small supply of copper to meet their
requirements. 1t is evident that the
fabricators feel safe on the hand-to
mouth purchasing and that they do
not feaN any considerable rise in price
or in an inability to get the metal to
meet the requirements of the orders
which they have booked
This has been the policy of the fab
ricators for considerable number of
years now, waiting policy, and the
history of the copper situation for the
pasa few years justifies their atti-
tude
The stabilizing policy of the pro-
ducers has, to very considerable ex-
tent, lessened the fluctuations in buy
ing and in prices and we seem to no
longer have buying movements, which
once featured the copper situation.
Formerly it did not take much of a
buying move~lent to start all fabrica-
tors into the market to protect their
requirements on orders booked but
they too have stabilized and are
spreading their buying regularly ra-
ther than in spasmodic movements
with fluctuating prices. Z
The worlds production Of copper for
April totalled 10000 tons, a daily
average of 1895 tons, as against a
daily average during March of 4,470
tons. There has been a constant, al
though slight, increase in the world
production since January, but it is not
yet back to the production of Octo-
ber, 1925, when the producers started
to run away, a condition which en-
phasized the need of the leveling of
production to consumption.
1t is interesting to note, however,
duction during 1923 was 1905 tons;
during 1924 it was 121,623 tons; dur
ing 1925 it was 12S,406 tons, and dur
ing the first four months of 1925, an
average monthly production of 1S1,-
78l tons. Eliminating the high pro-
duction months of October, November
and December of last year, the aver
age monthly world production of cop.
per would not have exceeded 125,O0O
tons in 1925. Thus it is evident that
progress is being made.
The consumption of copper in the
United States during 1925 was SS1,1Tl
tons, which was record level, and
there are no indications OF abatement
in the rate at which copper is being
taken by the consuming Industries
this year.
There is very definite evidence OF
the results of the campaign of the
producers in increasing the uses OF
copper and the sale of copper made
products. 1t has been interesting to
note recent report which shows that

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
AN APOLOGY

AN APOLOGY
I used to experience many a shive !,
When told that the ills that 1 had
We're due in large part me fast
that my liver
Was acting uncommonly bad.
Whenever L suffered some painful
affliction
With a long unpronounceable name.
My doctors made use of the time
IGNORED fiction
That my liver was wholly to blame.
I also was told, when my hinges got
rusty
And creaked when I walked down
the street,
When my temper, once sweet, be-
came grabbed and crusty
And it cost me an effort to eat
That I probably never would get any
better
And would pass from this earth
before long,
4 or the germs in my system had cut
the last fetter
On the day that my spleen had gone
wrong.
For all my complaints-far too many
to list 'em,
For all of my worries and fears
I cursed these two troublesome spots
in my system
AS chauffeurs curse broken toothed
gears
Whenever I suffered from weakness
or languor,
Whenever i'll tempered or mean,
said to myself in a burst of hot
anger
THAT must be my liver and spleen"
But now I have learned that these
organs keep busy
All day and far into the night
In knocking the germs that infest
us so dizzy
That they usually give up the
fight;
I regret ali the things 1 have uttered
about them
And I here put on record a vow,
That, having found out 1 cannot live
without them,
I shall always speak well of them
now.
