State of the Copper Trade in the Copper Market
After months of dullness manufacturers bought 20 million pounds over six months, a record segment totaling over a quarter of this year’s likely output. Prices have softened but London markets hold steady, with Osceola and Lake Superior producers coordinating to stabilize demand. Mines like Calumet & Hecla continue selling, while new Arizona and New Mexico output influences the trade. A possible year surplus and a shift toward European shipments could pressure price floors, as mining costs trend downward and debates over protective tariffs persist.

How to Renew an Orchard in Fall and Spring
Guidance on orchard renewal advises fall plowing under trees, shallow spring tillage or thorough cultivation based on condition, and careful sowing to avoid damage. Recommend crops like corn or beans if space allows, avoid potatoes, and use barley or spring rye as soil feed. Grain under trees should be thinly spread due to shade, with clover grown densely. Plow the ground in autumn for benefits, warnings about overgrazing, and a note about a bumped incident from a window.
