Copper Demand Outpaces World Production Amid Declining Stocks
An 1910 to 1914 stock decline shows copper consumption exceeding supply despite U S output gains. World stocks shrank from 41 million pounds in July 1910 to about 1.38 million in November 1913 and around 250 million pounds by end of 1914. European war disruption and US porphyry mines boosted output yet failed to close the gap, signaling rising prices and strong future demand for copper from industry and electrification.
