OUTLOOK FOR
COPPER GOOD
' BABSON PARK. Maw. (Spftclal)
Higher prices have been fore
cast for copper for over two years
and while there has been Home
strengthening in quotations the n
creiiMft has been sIlKht. The cop
per industry has seemed to lag be
hind the. other industries. Jtnth
prudticers and Investors became
rilscouruKed. Recently, however,
there has been n real strengthen
ing In the price of the metul which
Is now selling around 16 cents a
pound.' In commenting on this to
day Roger V liiihMon, ilie statis-
. 1 1rian, mudo the follow. ny Hinte-
- jiient:
' "i is true that copper has suf
fered a long period of depression.
The dnllncHH has been due to many
renson; first, lo the (remondnus
surplus thut wiih produced during
' the wur. Unlike munv articles of
food iittd olhi'i Hfiiil-perisliiibh
goods, this copper was not de
stroyed but was available nt Hie
end of the war for commercial
tises. It has taken about six yenrs
to use up tills surplus war prod lie
Jlon. The Kecond reason for the
continued low price h'is been Hie
opening of great low grade mines
In South America, Amen, and nth
er foreign countries. We havn Mi-
ways known thut copper existed
In pacts of Africa, and only Hie
high price and Uceu ilrnuinil caus
iii by a great war waH niedd lo
Blve Investors courage enough lo
develop these distant propcril's.
Vnfortunuly for the rest of the
ropper- inuuHiry, however, incur
Hew ' developments became mil
producers only after Hie war was
over.. Adding war surplus to new
cheap production, it is quite r
piorlcnhlc that copper prices did
not go much lower limn ihey did.
"Today the situation is much Im
proved. The surplus supplies have
hern used up. The market lias
become adjusted to these new low
grade producers In Routh America
and Africa, while the demand has
been conttnuully increasing. Gen
eral business as reflected by the
Rahsonchnrt Is running at 0 per
(tent nhove normal. Topper Is in
a helter position today than It
lias been for several ypunt. This
Jh evidenced not only by the
ftrenglhenlng in the price of the
metal and Hie increased employ
ment In the Industry, but by the
fart Hint investors are again be
coming keenly Interested in cop
per securities. The recent declara
tion of dividends by leading pro
' ducera has naturully Increased
Uils Interest,
l'uhllo Villi! les and Railroad
N coils.
"Tho copper Industry Is inaep
nrahly bound' up with the public
Utilities and railroads. It Is In
conceivable Hint the public utilities
can continue, to prosper . without
the copper Industry prospering
Willi them. The public ulillttes.
especially the power and light,
companies, urn In better condition
today than ever before tn their
plslory. .They not only nre popu-Hr-with-Investors
but are entitled
to this . prosperity being on the
evo of most brilliant nd spectacu
lar developments. It is very easy
for light and power companies to
secure money for new develop'
meats and Improvements. A por
tion of this now money is always
spent for copper. Tho railroads
nhw( have como back In public
favor. Thin year should spo more
railroad securities sold than has
nny previous year for nenrly o
decade. As soon nn railroads enn
nfford to do no. they nre hound
1o spend a certain amount of
i money on electrification. AM this
should benefit the copper industry.
In nddltlon tn Hiese two great fnc
tors the general deinund for cop
per In connection with building
find for other Induslrlnl purposes
In constantly Increasing. The low
prtrn for copper during the prist
few years 1ms been of Itself a fne

increase or decrease the produc
tion of copper Dte price has- been
very erratic, When th demand
has fallen or there has been a
surplus the prlco has fallen to a
point below production cost; and
whr. business boomed there has
been a shortage of the metal and
prices sogred. This caused cor
respondingly broad movements In
copper securities and fortunes
were made or lout In them. Of
course it is possible that these old
conditions may return but it Is
very probable that they will not.
The. low cost producers In Houth
America, Africa, and elsewhere
have completely changed the In
dustry. In place of a speculative
Industry it hus now become
stable industry. It Is not attractive
for the speculator but -it Is far
more attractive for the Investor.
Copper, both In Its uses and Its
production. Is ftiHt becoming a
staple, producers may make only
a small profit, but .they should be
reasonably sure of thin profit year
In and year out. Thin should tuk
'copper out of the gambling class
and the securities .should tm con
.sldcrcd with the l eel securities or
other copper securities represent
ing basic industries, - -
"Olio thing more should be re.
membered; Investors In copper
stocks during the past generation
have been best acquainted with
the Iiilto properties. Many of
these properllew have fared lui.lly
in compel lllnn with Hie to wer low
eoiil producers. TImno holders of
copper stocks have s.icn their cap
ital gradually fad" away. Am a re
sult thev nre Vjck.nf copper, on
the principal Ih-.i the buriti child
Will (mid iM. jn. n,ey will buy
no more copper ftloiks, even the
slocks of these ip-w wonderful low
co.sl mines. This means that a
new group or Investors in copper
must he born and reared. This
Is going on but It will uol be many
years before n new group of cop
per i:h:iie holder m- readv to
back !!. Industry Wit.e are those
Investor.'!, however, who purchase
securities before that lime comes.
Tho way to make money in Hie
