American Copper." The American copper situation, ao far as exports are concerned, is not without its mystery. There baa been talk of an enormous demand for copper from Europe but exports do not bear cut these claime, says The Wall Street Journal: The shipments of copper from the Atlantio ports in April amounted only to 37,080,000 lb, against nearly 80,000,000 lb., in the corresponding month of lat year. It has been enggested that Germany has been a large purchaser of copper in the United States, but the copper is not shipped; it is bold in storage. The report goes that Germany was buying copper in order to keep it away from the Allies. That report can be taken fo: what it is worth.
