consumption i his business compares
with April transactions approximating
(>.),UOO,OO0 pounds
Germany anJ -laoin were the best
buyers of copper, with France ranking,
third. The re-entrance of Japan as a
copper buyer has occasioned comment
as it has been out of the market al
most a year
r. 1 e indrsoial ccl'apse in Japan,

been so purchased was later resold in
the English mirket
The May business in copper was
far in excess of what leading producing !
interests had anticipated, and assisted
in reducing the unsold surplus above
ground. Some of the metal bought
for foreign shipment was apportioned
from from the 400,000,000 pounds
held as collateral for the $40,000,000 |
notes negotiated early in the year by ,
