By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Copper for
delivery in the United States was ad-
vanced in price today to IL cents a
pound, up u of a cent to the highest
quoted in nearly year.
It was the fourth mark-up in the
price this month and represented a
gain Of full cent a pound since late
July, when industrial revival expand
ed demand and enabled producers
to begin reducing unsold metal which
had been accommodating on their hands
for months during the 1878 business
recession.
Export buying has been brisk lately
and the foreign price has led the way
for the boosts in the domestic quota
ton.
Sales for foreign shipment were re-
ported above the 1l-cent level.
Indications European armament pro-
grams might be speeded up, despite
the recent peaceful settlement of the
Sudeten German question in Czecho-
slovakia held out prospect Of sustained
consumption Of the metal from one
of the most important sources of buy
ing the last few years.
Following copper on the rise, zinc
was boosted 0.10 of cent to sos cents
a pound, delivered at East st. Louis.
1t was the third increase this fall
and marked gain of more than half
cent a pound since midyear. Last
spring zinc sold at cents.
The new quotation was the highest
since November last year.
Copper Stocks Down.
Monthly copper statistics furnished
the trade with further evidence OF i'm
provement in the supply and demand
position of industrial metals as result
of the revival of buying since mid-year.
Trade figures showed world stocks OF
refined copper last month dropped 37,-
O7O tons to 457,454 Blister stocks were
eff 6,409 tons, making drop of 43,47s
tons in combined refined and blister
metal
Domestic refined copper stocks were
figured al 293,080 tons. drop OF 22.ll1
compared with 3l5.l9l at the end OF
August. Domestic blister stocks were
up 1898, leaving net drop of 1918
for both items.
Consumption Gains.
World apparent" consumption OF
the metal, the figures revealed, gained
1886 over August. with domestic use
I'D 1856 tons Domestic output of
crude copper increased 1881 tons over
the August figure to 49,746 tons.
Foreign output of crude was recorded
as down 8205 tons to 97,7l0 tons.
Domestic refined output rose 7.755
tons to As ,808 in contrast with a drop
of 2,798 to l08,057 in foreign refined

Special Dispatch to The Star.


MINNEAPOLIS, Oct. 13.-The
average American consumer now pays
1871 cents in traceable indirect taxes
in each dollar he spends, or $242 a
year out of a $150-a-month salary.
He will be paying still more next year,
according to study of taxes con-
tained in retail prices, made by North
western National Life Insurance Com
pany.
Another five to six cents Of hidden
taxes lurk in the background, accord
ing to the study, in items that are
either too elusive or too small individ-
ually to be tracked down and meas
ured
The estimated total Of 10 cents in
indirect taxes contained in each dollar
spent represents a rise OF 8 cents in
1888 from the 1897 content, thanks
to an increase of half a billion dollars
In total taxes collected from the Ma
ton, most of which must be charged
against the cost of goods and services
produced.
Estimated at IA Billions.
The study estimates that taxes COL
lected by Federal, State and local gov
ernments will total $l4,324, 900, 900 for
the calendar year of 1888. as against
a figure of sl3,S25, 900, 900 for 1887,
an increase of $499 ,o00, 900. As Fed
eral collections are expected to show
little change in their combined total,
the expansion is accounted for by in
creases In State and local tax collec-
tions. principally in various social Sc
curity taxes.
The study eliminates from consider
alton all taxes difficult to pass on" in
prices-income. excess profits, estate,
