COPPER. 729 It is evident that the United States is by far the largest singlefactor in nearly every phase of the industry. At present it is notonly the largest producer and consumer, but excels in both imports,and exports. There was a considerable increase in 1916 and 1917in the copper imported into the United States in various stages ofmanufacture. This was due in part to increase of production ofcopper that would have naturally been refined in the United States,and in part to shipping conditions that made it advantageous to ship too 80 70 6G 50 40 30 20 }0 Production imports Exports Apparent consumption(Includes production and f/7ipoj-£sless exports)
