No. 776.-COPPER-PRODUCTION, EXPORTS, IMPORTS, AND 1910 To 1939 CONSUMPTION: NOTE. All quantities except ore produced in millions and tenths of millions of pounds. Production figures include continental United States and Alaska. Owing to the varying stages of production, the stocks in different classes of hands, the redistribution of copper previously purchased, the recovery and use of old copper, etc., calculations of consumption are somewhat uncertain. The American Bureau of Metal Statistics presents consumption estimates rather widely different from those given below. Consumption as shown represents the quantity of copper withdrawn on domestic account, but not actual domestic consumption, as no account is taken of consumers' stocks 1 Tons of 2,000 pounds. Old tailings are included beginning with 1930. Ore from the Philippine Islands included under concentrates. Imports of refined copper in ingots, bars, or other forms included in imports of unrefined. Some copper from Michigan was electrolytically refined and is included with electrolytic. 7 Includes pig. * Includes small exports of unrefined black blister and converter copper (bars, pigs, etc.).
