STATES SILYER
PRICE RISING

Silver has furnished the bright spot
in the metal market with a rise in
price of about three cents to 60, lead
standing still, zinc raising 20 points
to 6.45, and copper dropping to 12B
cents, according to the current issue of
the Mining Journal.
The silver buying movement is large
of the India Currency commission is
now being discussed before the Indian
legislature at Delhi, and the increas-
ing price indicates that those who are
studying the situation believe the sen
timent is against the adoption of their
recommendations
Due to the fact that about two
thirds of the silver production goes
to India and China, the conditions
within these countries reflect quite di-
rectly upon the silver situation Some
see a better silver future in the pres
sent Chinese troubles, arguing that the
real issue in China is industrial ad-
vancement, and with Industrial ad-
vancement will come a demand for
more silver than can be supplied. The
figures are not all available as yet
for the British India silver excess of
imports over exports for 1925, but,
based upon the first ten months, the
total will exceed 115 million ounces, as
against 1O7 million during 1925 and 93
million during 1924.

the next year will determine much of
the extent of the anticipated prosperity
of the industry, and it is not believed
that the producers are going to repeat
the overproduction mistakes of the
past and, if production does come in
excess of requirements, we are more
likely to see the copper held back and
not offered for sale.
whether the producers like it or not,
the evidence points to a continued low
price of copper, and numerous inter-
views with people of prominence in
the copper world indicate reasonable
satisfaction with the price, as the
present normal price of copper has
been greatly lowered by greater eff
cheney and improved metallurgy.
The production figures of the past
few months have shown a steady in
crease without the corresponding con-
sumption increase, thus increasing the
surplus stocks, and it may be that
some of the producers are beginning
to figure that greater production, with
lower costs and lower prices, will ac-
tuaIly make greater net. This is get
ting away from the "stabilization"
going to tell the tale as to whether
the policy of balancing consumption
and production is going to maintain,
or whether there will be return to
the Survival of the fittest" policy.
On these subjects, President Loeb of
the American Metal company says:
Improved metallurgical proc S
have made it possible to apply to the
copper mining industry the efficiency
and economies of our great manufac-
turing business. 1t is because of these
improvements that it has been possible
to sell copper at relatively low prices,
and to a large extent pass on to the
consumer the savings which the i'm
provements in the science of mining and
smelling have made possible. The re-
suit has been a widening use of copper,

vantage and stocking up for their
spring requirements. Two cuts have
been made in the A. S. and r. contract
price during the past two weeks, 7.65
to 75O to 7.40, and it was not until the
latter figure was reached that buying
was stimulated The lead production
for 1926 in the United States totaledI
59S.S3S tons, as compared with the
former record year of 1925, when 572,-
345 tons were produced There was a
corresponding increase in Mexico and
Canada, as they produced 223, $50 tons
and 239,376 tons, respectively, in 1926,
as against 205,1 and 124,277 tons re-
spectively, in 1925.
The buying of zinc is also good,
starting two weeks ago, when the price
touched 6.S6 and continuing after the
reaction. The buying is scattered as
to delivery, running oven the next
three months. Zinc likewise showed
considerable production advance dur
ing 1926, the United States producing
63S, ,533 tons of slab zinc during the last
year as against 590,92S tons during
1926. The other large zinc producing
countries are Belgium and Polish Si-
and 116,541 tons, respectively, during
1926, as against 1S9, 473 tons and 107,226
tons, respectively, during 1925.
Copper will naturally be slow at the
present price, as this price is lower
than the large producers are willing
to SELL. and hence they are out Of the
market, but it is reported that the
fabricators' February requirements are
pretty well ordered in advance, and
even copper offered at the low quoted
! figure is not finding ready buyers. The
I production of refined copper in the
! United States set a new high, totaling
] 1,44O,454 tons, which is a 61s per cent
increase over 1925. The steady increase
of the past five years is shown by the
following: 1922, 7SS,S26 tons; 1928, l.
163,SS5 tons; 1924, 1,300,3S2 tons;1925,
1852 ,3O9 tons; and 1926, 1,44O,454 tons.
On the other hand, exports shipments

1926 shipments were about II per cent
less than the 1925 shipments How
