SURPLUSSTOCK
OF COPPER IS I
' DIMINISHING
Copper prices have advanced stead
ily for the past two months- and have
reached 24 cents a pound, according
to F. T. Eddingfield of the bureau of
mines. It is reported that sales are
outrunning production, and deliver
ies against earlier bookings have been
exceeding the output. This has re
sulted in reducing the large surplus
stocks which have been accumulat
ing since the armistice was signed.
It is also reported that the Lake com
panies have disposed of most of their
surplus stocks.
The output of copper in the United
States, according to the latest re
turns, shows an increase for June
over May. The production for May,
United States only, was 92,652,975
pounds, and that for June, on proper
ties reported, exceeds that of May on
the same properties by 2,548,026
pounds.
Reductions in output were reported
from Calumet and Hecla of 1,360,000
pounds, Anaconda 3,000,000 pounds,
Miami 600,0%0 pounds, Old Dominion
550,000 pounds, but these were more
than offset by increases from United
Verde Extension of 2,800,000 pounds,
United Verde 2,00,000 pounds, New
Cornelia 1,300,000 pounds, Calumet
and Arizona 570,000 pounds, and Utah
Copper 400,000 pounds.
Mexican and South American prop
erties show but slight changes in out
put.
A peculiar situation has been re
cently pointed out in France. It is
stated that the French government
sold to American producers the stocks
of copper formerly purchased from
them at a loss of about $200 a ton.
This copper may be sold to French
consumers by La Societe Franco
Americaine des Metaux, an agent of
the American Export Association, at
prices which will show a profit over
the cost price. Furthermore, this
Societe, being an agent of a foreign
concern, will not be considered as
making a profit in France and will
therefore escape taxation. By this
situation the French suffer three-fold,
first by a loss on the original sale,
second by a loss to consumers on ac

count of increased price, and third
by the loss of taxation.
Japan is reported to have purchased
during this year 32,000,000 pounds
of copper, which in part accounts for
the increased price of copper.
It is also reported that the United
States government surplus has been
entirely sold.
Brisk buying has been done by wire
manufacturers and grass producers.
Considerable buying has been done
by Scandinavian countries and Hol
land as well as England. Embargoes
by France and Italy have been lifted
and they, too, can be expected to
make large purchases.
Total imports for copper for June
were 31,498,378 pounds, and exports
totaled 29,534,946. The total exports
do not represent all copper actually
exported, since manufactured prod
ucts are not included and in many of
these considerable copper may be
used, such as electric appliances and
machines, brass and brass articles,
bronze and copper compounds.
