The Reported Copper Inquiry

Officials of leading copper producing
companies declined yesterday to dis
cuss the reports of a Department OF
Justice inquiry into the recent shut
downs of the mines, but dispatches
from Washington to the financial dis
trict indicated that the Attorney Gen
eral has an eye on this situation, even
though he has not yet undertaken an
active investigation. In view Of the fact
that producers could go on operating
only at loss under existing condi-
tions, little fear of an investigation
was expressed in the trade. Increas-
ing seriousness of the British coal
strike is holding up all foreign buy
ing Of copper. Domestic business is
also very small.

In w all Street
Merger Story Attracts Attention

Wall Street was interested yesterday
in press reports Of an impending
merger of the National City Bank and
the Mechanics and Metals National
Bank. Executive officers of both in
stitutions reiterated the denials Of the
story made to The Tribune on the pre-
vious day. Gates w. McGarras1, presi-
dent of the Mechanics and Metals Ma
tional Bank, said: "Ihe statement ap-
pearing in morning newspapers to the
effect that merger of the Mechanics
and Metals National Bank and the Ma
tional City Bank is in contemplation
or that John McHugh is to become
president of the National City Bank is
absolutely untrue in every detail"
John H. Fulton, general executive man
ager of the National City Bank, made
a similar statement. Several other
names were mentioned in Street gossip
as possible successors Of Mr.. Stillman,
whose resignation was recently reject
ed by the board Of directors, including
Percy A. Rockefeller, director and
one of the largest stockholders Of the
bank; John Fl. Fulton and John V. Rich
and William A. Simonson, executive
managers of the National City. 1t was
asserted at the bank that the dominat-
ing interests OF the board are standing
strongly behind Mr.. Stillman and want
him to continue as president.

A HopefuI View

Street banking circles yesterday from
London indicated the seriousness of
the British labor crisis, but expressed
the hope that conditions might change
overnight. A cable to one of the
largest institutions in the financial
district said: "The general strike stu
alton looks undoubtedly serious, but
there is still chance that the railway
men and transport workers leaders,
not feeling sure of adequate support
may counsel moderation. If the Triple
Alliance does come out it is quite pos
sible the strike will be half-hearted
and the men begin to return almost
Immediately, except in especially bad
districts"

."Of the 22S patents, twenty-six re-

troll devices, three to prcjectiles and
machines for handling same, fourteen
to railroad artillery, and the balance
to varied uses, most Of which might
well relate to military use.
Incident to making this investiga-
ton, 1t was noted that a large num-
ber of patents and applications had
been assigned to numerous other Ger
