$KJV VOItKtfP) Stabilization
of copper nrlcea around 21 or 22
conta - a pound Is understood in
Wall atreet to be the aim of lead
ing producer. 1 - 'y
A Hhortaite ot the red metal' re
cently sent the price to 24 cents a
pound, hut relatively little metal In
reported to have been sold at that
fldiire, 1
.. The ao-ealled diatoms Bmcltera
wore permitted to sell nearby cop
per abroad at 22 54 cents -by tho
copper export aasoclatlon jn. order
to llnuldnto their positions ana per
mit them to do business safely on
a cosh basin. ,' '
; Practically all of tho larne pro
ducers have contracted for tho sale
of tfielr entire output up to July 1.
l'Vw borders have , been taken for
delivery' beyond that dato because
of the poselblllty of labor troubloB
or'somo 'other unfnrseen emer-
Reney. which mlBht Interfere with
production.'
' Current deliveries ; are bolnc
made at prices ogreod upon several
weeks afro before tho sharp run-up
Oflthd price of tho metcal.
Humors, that the hlch prices for
copper had led to an extensive use
of copper substitutes are not taken
seriously by the Industry, -f
. These rumors generally are 'asso
ciated, with tho automotive indus
try,' but It was pointed out' that
only About si por cent of the an
nual output Is consumed by tie In
dustry and that the amount of cop
perusod In each .autdmobllt aver
nffeH (ess than 20 pounds, i -"
, A difference of as much os 10
cents , In the price of 'a pound of
copper would' mean, therefore, only
fi it earn.
? TIN; electrical IndUHlry, which
contiutneK between flu and. 05 por
cent of the annual output of cop
per still Is the Industrie's bes .cus
ttomer. Demands ;from electrical
concerns continue largo and show
stgns of Increasing, rather than de-.
creasing, because of new electrifi
cation pdojects, rapid expansion of
existing facilities and-the steady
growth In the number of new clec-
'trlcal deylces, particularly : for
household use.-f N. .-.. .-''-.-
.' 0ne of tie prlnc(pal reofl'bns'.prb-.
ducora would: IlkO'to ee the price
ofi;copper stabilized Is to prevent
speculation to the detriment of tho
actual .cousumers of tho product..
Mosiiiaf tthe. largo companies suc
ceeded In making profits with bojv
per selling fit 14 cents a pound and
a price of -50 cents above that level
nets them a . hnndsnmo return
which they do . not want jeopor
illstod by wild speculation In tho
commodity.

the port owes even Its small de
velopment. The dock Is owned by
the railroad and the company
maintains a hospital for Its em
ployes in tho town.
"Perhaps tho greatest drawback
to the port Is thri fact that the
Kouthern I'aciflc Railroad of Mex
ico intersects tho Kilhus City, Mex
ico and. Orient ut San 111ns, about
2 f-miles northeast of Topolobam

' This Is due to i the lessened

necossary to use a motor oil which
forms no hard carbon.
' "An educational campaign en

that there Is a motor oil refined

the Shell Motor Oil company. Ite
