With lack of competition from Europe and low prices for crude material the export trade should be profitable to the manufacturers and result in the consumption of nearly all the domestic production of copper. ALUMINUM. During the last 10 years there has been a rapid and healthy growth in the consumption of metallic aluminum in the United States. From less than 9,000,000 pounds in 1904 the consumption has grown to more than 72,000,000 pounds in 1914. This increase was partly met, in some years at least, by the increase in imports. Although most of the aluminum consumed in the United States is of domestic origin, a very considerable part of it is imported from France and other European countries. With the possible cutting off of the European supply of the metal—scrap, crude, and manufactured—it will be increasingly difficult to fill the domestic need. The use of metallic aluminum is widespread. Its employment in the manufacture of articles of everyday use has become so com mon that such articles no longer attract attention. Its use, however, is now being extended to the construction of welded tanks, cooking vats, and vessels which are employed by brewers, preserve manu facturers, and fat recoverers, and in similar industries where a metal that will conduct heat, will not corrode, and is nonpoisonous is essential. Aluminum vessels of large size are used also in the manu facture of essences, sirups, varnishes, fatty acids, table oils, and nitric acid. A recently developed branch of the aluminum industry is the manufacture of the powdered metal known to the trade as aluminum-bronze powder, which is used extensively as a paint pig ment, in explosives, in lithographing, and in printing. The use of aluminum wire as a conductor in long-distance power-transmitting schemes is of interest. Aluminum foil, though not exactly a new product, is now being used on a larger scale than ever before, owing to improved methods in its manufacture—the result of long and expensive experiments which have reduced its cost appreciably. Finally, the use of the metal in aeroplanes and automobiles may be mentioned. Plants manufacturing aluminum in the United States have been rapidly expending and enlarging their output in recênt years to meet the growing demands for the metal. One of the largest proj ects is that of the Southern Aluminum Co., which is vigorously pushing operations on the Yadkin River, N. C. This company, with
