Precious Metals of West Up
set by Present Alleged
Good Times.
(Bv Associated Press)
SAN FRANCISCO, Calif., July 31.
Steady declines in the Virice of
many metals throughout the Twelfth
Federal Reserve District, were noted
in the monthly, report of John Pcr
rin, Sun Francisco, made public here.
Mr. Pemn report, which covers
conditions in Oregon, Washington,
California, Nevada, Utah and Ari
zona, shows that the present quota
tions for Conner aro-11 per cent be
low the peak levels of March, 192;),
while those of lead are id per
cent ticlow. silver 4 per cent and
zinc 21 per cent below.
The effect of this situation on pro
Itiction of metals throughout the dis
trict has been accentuated by com-
pltion of government purchases
of domestic silver under the
Pittman Act of 1918, which fix
ed the price at which the govern
ment must bhy silver at one
dollar an ounce. Final tenders of sil
ver under the act were arcepted by
director of the mint ' as of June 2,
192:1. anil domestic silver mined
thereafter must be sold on the open
market. The average open market
price for silver during June was 65
cents an ounce, and the mines which
produce silver only have " thus been
seriously affected, many being forc
ed to shut down. Lead mines of the
district which also . produce, largo
quantities of silver, nave, however,
gnerally maintained . production ,at
previous levels.
Copper and zinc mines have been
less effected by developments in the
silver market than silver and lead
mines. Their response iu curtailed
production to price declines has thus
far been limited. The large size of
most of the copper operations makes
it difficult to adjust output to fluc
tuations of the market .which may
prove to be temporary, and no de
cline of copper production has fol
lowed the fall in prices of this met
al. - A significant feature of the cop
per market during June was the re
port of the Copper export Asso
ciation that the 400,000,000 pounds
of copper marked for export in 1921
has now been completely sold.
Production of zinc during June
was slightly less than in the pre
vious month in Utah, but unchang
ed in Idaho.
National production of copper, sil
ver and zinc for May, lyiij, April
1923, and May, 1922, follows:

soldiers and women, anxious to marry
and estublKsh homes, was the turn

and today she has little more thun

saved the race, from rapid extinction

of a million a year.
Whatever the rca!ns for the half
century of decreasing birthrate, the
present shortage of living quarters,
the vicissitudes of life, and the low

today by students for the condition
that persists in spite of a really na
tional campaign for more children.
