TOO MUCH COPPER IS
jm By mm

.'.V, (Hearst ltewa by Lengest Leased Wire.)
New fork. Sept 14. A reduction of
itha" price' of ejectrolytlo copper by the
'United Metals Selling company from IS
to 14 H cents waa announced today, and
: ta regarded aa a tacit admission on the
, part of chief producing Interest of the
country that there la aa over aupply
v on hand. The above organisation la
the gelling agent of the Amalgamated
and controls probably 100,000,000 of the
zou.uuv.wuv pounds or copper now on
band in the United States.
The cut In pricea backed up with the
curtailment or worg in the mining cen
tere, la looked upon here as proving
the contention of the dealera that the
' figures at which copper baa been held
were fictitious, and that its true value
la- indicated by ' the prices which have
prevailed at tha metal exchange, it
hie not been up to tha Amalgamated
figures for aoma daya.
Coincident with the announcement of
the United Metal Selling company that
It la prepared to do busineaa at l6Va
cents a pound for electrolytic copper,
come private cables from Europe to
tbe effect that electrolytio waa offer-
tola morning at 16.60 and
o. b. New York.
Word cornea from Montana that the
Amalgamated Copper company will pur
sue a general policy of retrenchment
and curtailment of output, reducing It
from 20,000,000 pounds to 7.000,000 or
S. 000,000 pounds monthly. In pursuance
of thla policy the' company has been
cutting down Ita mining foroes since
the first of September, so that at the
present time 4,000 miners are employed
against 6,500 three weeks ago.
