COPPER Merger TALK
Still STTRS STREET.
Latest Rumors Eliminate Utah and In
spiration from Consolidation.

New York, Nov. 2o-wall street heard
new reports today of the much discussed
merger Of copper companies. The latest
reports eliminate both Utah and Inspira-
ton from the proposed consolidation.
which. according to reports in best in
formed circles. will include Kennecott,
Chile and some of the small companies
already owned by Kennetcott. 1t Is not
unlikely that an official announcement
will be forthcoming this week Mean
time. it is rumored that here may be an
amendment to the Sherman law to enable
the copper combination to become a fact
hut that the restrictions under that law
will apply only to domestic business. In
other words, the purpose Of the merger
is to systematic the export trade in cop
per, on the theory that buyers would pre-
fer to buy from one combination instead
of from a dozen sources.
When price of 10 was recorded on the
tape for Chile Copper bonds the shares
were ruling at about 261k. These bonds
are convertible into stock at par. That is
each 800 par value of bonds can be ex-
changed for four shares of stock. At 36h
four shares were worth 1B, or Just s
points under the bond quotation. In
other words, the premium for the per
cent return on the bonds was only
psr cent above the interest rate The
stock has not yet been placed on a divi-
dend basis.

In 4 deliberate propaganda to force Fed

Many State commissioners are In
Washingtoi, prepared to appear before the

They will charge that the big public util-

eliminlted.
The propaganda has extended all over
the country. 1t Is stated. railroad attor-

RECEPTION
PROPOSED FOR MARCH 4

The possibility of re-establishing the
inaugural ball at the second Inauguration
OF President Wilson continues to cause
much speculation. with business men
hopeful that the President will be in
duced to consent to some kind Of public
reception at which he will appear off,
cially.
Officials close to the President say he
is opposed to an elaborate affair and will
insist on simple ceremonies. All recent
inaugural balls have attracted such
crowds that dancing has been impossi-
BILE.
The fact that March 4 will fall on Sun
day and the existence of serious interna-
tional issues will, in all probability, i'm
pei the President to insist on a simple
affair.
Democratic leaders continue to insist
that Robert N Harper will be chairman
OF the inaugural committee. 1t is taken
for granted that the President will re-
main silent on this question until he has
conferred with Chairman Vance McCor-
mick, OF the Democratic National Com
mittee, who is expected in Washington
late this week.
