Large Falling Off in the Surplus

Price of the Red Metal
in
THE JUNE PRODUCTION SHOWS A DECREASE
The report o! the Copper Producer
asociation, which was made public in
Boston, July 9ih, was more encourag
ing than had been expected, showing
a larger falling oif in the surplus on
hand tbau bad been anticipated.
The reduction in the surplus of red
unetal on hand wis also larger than
that shown bythe June roport when
the reduction was 13.3,000, while the
present report shows a reduction of
approximately 1 1.99O.OS0. This le ves
the present surplus ol copper on hand
as standing under 154,858,001 or a
supply at the present consumption of
thirty-fit e or thirty-six days, and very
much less than that when the demand
is normal.
The production in June was 116,-
5fi7,4'.13 pounds, a decrease ol L'S1,
653 pounds over May, which produc
tion decreased from 148,305,0JO
pounds to 131,557,573 pounds.
The report also shows that the com
panies in an averagn are producing
about 60 per cent of their caaci'y.
Indications are strong for an in
crease demand ot copper and a con
tinued and heavier decrease in the
surplus of metal on hand from now on.
Although the copper situation must
he takn as highly improved.

Arizona Delegation of Elks to Conven

Gloom thick enough to 1 est with J

of Elks. When the judges announced
their decisions for the Hoat, lands
and clubs in Thurfday's parade, and
Arizona's name did not figure amorg
them, there was the keenest disap
pointment. With no desire to detract
from the honors of the winrds, it can
be said that the Phoenix Indian band
and the Arizona float were two fea
tures in the parade that attracted as
much or more attention than any
other.
While Arizona will not bring horre
pression that will do the coming state
a world of good. Every Elk is im
pressed with the showing Arizona has
made. The delegation, their actions,
the marching clubs, float, Indian
band, the Marathon winner, HarTy

way of doing things."
