WONDERFUL GROWTH
OF COFFER EXPORTS
Copper is now one of the
great staple exports of the Unit
ed Statos. This is shown by a
statement of the Bureau of Sta
tistics dealing with our foreign
commerce in copper and copper
manufactures f'»r the first nine
months of the llscul year ending
June 30, 1U12. Estimating the
year's results from the returns
for the nine months known, cop
per ranks liflli among tin* great,
staph* exports. The growth in
this country's shipments is in
dicated Iiv a comparison ot s |._
000.Olio in value in 1882 with a
probable * I I o.ooo.ooo in I'M2.
The articles of commerce which
stand ahead of copper are cot
ton, iron and steel, meat and
dairy products and breadstutTs.
The value of copper exports now
exceeds that of mineral oil. CSreat
increase is shown for tlie last de
cade, the copper exports for 1002
having been $53,800,000.

At this (icorge HaMwin in

from afar echoing "me. too.";
"That's Hilchic's voice." said a
delegate, as lie muttered, "well.i
