MINE JOURNAL
REPORTS QUIET
IN ALI. METALS

Quietness' continues to prevail ac-
cording to the weekly report Of the
Mining Journal, in all the metal mar
kets with no changes in prices of any
consequence. The Guierness has caused
no change In the sentiment as to pros
pective good business from industrial
activity, although no material in
creases in prices are expected in the
near future. While copper sales are
maintaining fair volume, they look
small as compared with the record
breaking period the first part of De-
cember. While primary production of
copper was large for the month of No
vember, the announcement of this and
the increased surplus has not disturbed
the market.
The failure of copper to Increase in
price with extraordinary heavy de-
mands has made the consumers feel
that there is no necessity to stock up
in anticipation of any price increase
and the increasing production of cop
per is a further indication of the same
thing. Thus, there is no reason to ex-
pect better copper prices in the near
future.
The worlds copper production to-
tailed 153, 400 tons in November as
against 141,3OO in October and 136,5OO
tons in September The increase is ac-
counted for by about 5000 tons from
the United States, 5000 tons from Eu-
rope and a slight increase from Bel-
gian Congo. The daily rate of produce
tion during November was 4947 tons,
hIrf 20 Il;
the war and a great increase over the
1922 ton daily rate of 1925 and the
39SS ton daily rate of 1924.
The lead market is steady with sales
in about normal volume and not much
price competition. There is plenty of
lead available, as production has been
increasing with corresponding in
crease in demand. Producers are in
clined to hold the surplus rather than
let it go at reduced prices. The last
three years has seen a sharp reduc-
ton in price during the early part of
the year, but this price decline has
already been experienced and it is felt
that the early part of 1927 will not
see the same decline. Lead prices are
lower today than they have been at
the same time during 1924 and 1925.
The total lead production fell off in
November to 125,150 tons as against
127,62S tons during October. The bulk
of the decrease came from Mexico,
where 1914 tons were produced as
against 20,610 tons during October.
The low silver price and lower lead
price is seriously affecting the opera
tions of Mexico mines, and it is ex-
pected that there will be more shut
downs soon.
The zinc business is well below nor
NAL. The usual holiday curtailment
in the InidWestern field will greatly
lessen the December production and
possibly strengthen the weak zinc mar
ket. The zinc business is good in gen
eral. Our sheet zinc production has
increased per cent over 1924 and
was going strong until the automobile !
started to curtail pro- Z
luction. The zinc exports will show an
increase of 50 per cent this year over
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-01-02

last year in spite of the fact that much
Australian zinc has found it's way to
Europe during this last year. The
zinc surplus shows only about ten
days supply of slab zinc on hand on a
market absorbing $4,000 tons monthly.
The progress of zinc goes hand in hand
with copper to considerable extent,
as about 80 per cent Of the slab zinc
production goes into alloys, principally
brass, and as the brass industry grows
so does zinc.
The decline in silver is blamed by
some foreign economists in a skillful
manipulation by the gold dealers in
securing the recommendation on the
Royal Commission on Indian Currency
to have India go on a gold basis 1t is
argued that this will really make very
little difference in the silver situation
even if the recommendation is accepted
1t provides for gold exchange rathe
than a gold standard, and there is lit
tie likelihood that India would get rid
of her silver reserves.
1t is felt that the alarm over mis-
understood situation has been respon-
sible for bringing the price of silver
down and that, when the situation is
understood, the price will strengthen.
discounting the probable effect of the
change in India and this, of course,
may be just as much the result of sill
Yer propagandists as was the contrary
situation.

CITY OFFICES
ARE MOVED
New Quarters are About
Ready as Furniture is
Transferred

The city offices are being moved
this week into the new spick and
span home in the Beach block on
Washington st. The new building
has been remodeled to suit the
needs of the various departments,
the interior is being decorated and
the whole arrangement is conven-
lent as well as attractive.
The library occupies the south
west corner Of the building, 'front.'
ing on Washington street. There
is more room for the numerous
book shelves, more light, and more
appropriate quarters as a whole
than formerly in the old location.
The city, clerk and police depart
ment have neat offices, spacious
and comfortable. No longer IS ev.
erything Jumped together as OF
old, when one might wonder at
times whether he was in the IL
brary or justice court. Noise-proof
partitions aid in lending to each
room its deserved austerity. There
is ample room in the rear OF the
building for the fire truck, hose,
and other anti-fire machinery.
The council at its meeting Tues
day night this week, also resolved
to build a new Jail in the interior
of the rear. This will make things
convenient for the police force and
in the future guests of the city
will have sheltered nook during
the winter time in which to repose.
