Copper Wear Demand and Copper Production in 1920
Copper production from domestic ores in 1920 is estimated at about 1.235 billion pounds, down from 1.286 billion in 1919, with refined output at about 1.573 billion pounds, down 196 million from 1919. Domestic apparent consumption stood around 910 million pounds, stockpiles ended at about 874 million, and ten month imports totaled 407.4 million pounds. Exports for ten months reached 543.7 million pounds, against 516.6 million for all of 1919. World economy weakness, low exchange, scrap and secondary copper abundance kept demand muted and aided ongoing labor troubles.
