NEW YORK, 71:52:. 30.—-0rders for
copper aggregating about 200,000,000
pounds, nearly one-fifth the annual
production inhthe United States, have
been placed by German representa-
tives with copper concerns in this
country, it was reported today. As:
copper is quoted at twenty cents a
pound, the cost of the German pur-
chases amount to $40,000,000. In in-
stances where the contracts have been
filled. the metal has been placed in
storage under an agreement to ship it
to Germany immediately after. the
war. “
The orders placed in America
amount to nearly four times the am
