The crash in copper was felt in Nor
folk in more ways than one. While
the fall in the copper market meant
a saving of SO, 500 to the Norfolk Long
Distance Telephone company on Its
wire cable purchases delayed until at
ter the fall in price, the recent doings
in the copper market have brought
nothing but grief to Norfolk junk deal
ers. One Norfolk junk man is said
to have on hand $1,000 worth of cop
per and junk that he has been unable
to sell since copper prices started to
, go to pieces. Profit in copper junk
was buried in the down jump OF
prices.
