Armor date is steel. Steel is mad*
of iron, which is now a very chettp
-tubstanoe. And Steel, too, is cheap.
There i* a big profit in steel rails at
$20 per ton, but for steel armor plat,
the steel trust is determined to hav*
$400 per ton for the cheapest sort made.
The free silver senators, aided by »
very few Republicans, voted to reduce
the price of armor plate to $1(00 per ton,
providing $1,500,000 with which to
bnild a government armor plate plant
in case the steel combine refused the
$300. It was too late iu the session for
the hooge to try to coerce the senate,
and the amendment went into the
naval appropriation bill. This perse-
cution of the steel trust grieves the ad
mistration. When a Penusylvaica
trust is hit w6 are sure to hear a wail
of anguish from Washington, I). C.
The secretary of the navy says all naval
coustrnotion will have to stop. Of course
be will not have the faoe to ask the
Bteel trust to sell armor pltte to the
taxpayers for $300 per ton, when the
trnst is paying nearly $10 per ton for
pig iron. Neither will the navy de-
partment build an armor-, late plant, ns
congress has ordered, because $ 1.600,0t0
is not enough money for that purpose—
so the secretary save. It is certain, at
any rate, that the steel trust would not
like to see this country belittle itself by
building a small $1,500,000 armor plate
plant The secretary of the navy and
his snperier office, President, Mc-Kiuley,
will not abet congress in persecuting
any trust. Therefore, Associated Pret-s
dispatches announce, naval const! uc-
tion is to cease until the free silver sen-
ators can be overridden by a trust-con
trolled by a majority iu the new con
gress.
United States showing last yt ar a gain
f 18.211 tins. Iu fact, the only other
(xmsiderable gains were made by Cana-
le, which, as noted above, appears to
r>e deve'upieg its position as a copper
producer: Uli i, which shows au in-
crease, in place of the decrease of 189"; i
Australia, which yielded 1,000 to s
m *re than iu 18»7, aud Japan whn h
made a new rec -rd, involving au in-
crease of about 2,000 tons in its produc-
tion. On the other haud. Spain and
Portugnal, as well as the Cape of Good
Hope, Mexico and Germany, all show
ill.HI ueclea-es.
The interesting question at the mo-
neut. however, is the extent, to which
tie boom in copper prices will result iu
increased production of the metal dur-
i ig the current year. The stimulus
which it gave to mining operations
could hardly have been expected to
produce its full effect upon supplies
daring 1898. It of course stimulated
r,he industry in the United States in
inch a way that this couutry obtained
the key to the position in the copper
narket. Iu spite of tbe\reaction that
has taken place in copper prices, the
latter are still high enough to cause Dot
only an eager exploration of all fields
where it can be mined, but the reopen
ing of numerous abandoned low grade
properties. It is noted that at the end
of January the visible supplies were at
a low point, being 26,015 tons, against
29.746 tons at the same time last year,
and 82,307 tons in 1897, while the activ
ity of electrical construction work,
which has been the main factor in the
whole recent movement of copper
prices, is increasing rather than dis-
playing any tendency to diminish.—

ininishing. Tiie plans for the consoli-
dation of a number of American cop
per mining companies have I bus far
been confined to the realm of rumor,
though it is stated that next week may
witness the launching of a prospectus
which will provide for a company with
an authorized capital of the startling
amount of $1,000,000, for the purpose
of combining leading copper mining
companies. What the practical results
of such a scheme will be remains a
matter of doubt. Oa the other hand,
the dealing in copper shares continues
to be the principal feature of the Bos-
ton stock market, and an indication of
a desire on the part of the New York
stock exchange to derive a share of the
benefit from the popularity < f such hp
curities is afforded by the recent “list
ing" of the Anaconda copper mining
securities by the Utter institution It
is also stated that even if the plana for
a so called copper mining “trust" are
uot carried out, some of the proposed
consolidations now uuder way in con-
nection with copper properties will re-
sult, in the creation of corporations of a
sufficiently 1 rge capital to render them
desirable features for the New York
niarket
It is certain that the speculation an d
investment, in copper mining stocks
have never been so extensive as at pres-
ent, and, at the same time,much greater
public interest is shown in the statistics
of copper production and consumption.
A large degree of value attaches to the
annual statement for 1898, issued by
Me-srs. Merton & Co., of Loudon iu
w*hich the principal supplies of the metal
are estimated. These figures which
have just been issued, give t.he produc-
tion by countries during the past five
years aud places the aggregate produc-
tion of fine copper during the year just
ended at 424,126 tons, against 897,790
tons in the preceding year, 373,363 tons
in 1896, 334,565 tons iu 1893 and 324,505
tons in 1894. The inscrease which be
gan in 1885, has, accordingly, been
continued, although the gain of 26,336
tons for the year just ended over
1897 and of 24,427 tons for 1897 as
compared with 1896 were smaller than
the increase which the world's aggre-
gate copper production for 1896 display-
ed over that of 1895.
The feature of the statement is, of
course, the predominance of the United
States as a source of the world’s copper
enpplies. The aggregate output of
this country last year was not only a lit
tie more than half the total output, but
furnished — -----------,— -—, ,
