Government Copper Sale Delay

Reports few days ago that the
government was soon to place on sole
at auction 50,000,o00 pounds of copper,
it now appears, were largely exsgger-
ated. According to The Engineering
and Mining journal the reports referred
60 100000 pounds. for which the
government was going to open bids.
ut is now understood,' says this publi-
cation, that this copper has been tenn
porarily, at least, withdrawn from the
market. Possible use for this metal
may be found among the various cop
per-consuming departments Of the gov
ernment Besides unduly depressing
the market the sale OF this copper at
the present time would have been to
the detriment of the price that might
ultimately be received" The En-
gineering and Mining journal takes
the view that the market is ripe for ar
upward movement. Although most of
the copper recently purchased has been
for immediate consumption, at least
one lot, it was pointed out, was sold
because the purchaser felt that copper
at II cents and below was exceedingly
cheap and worth purchasing and hold

Effect Of Chinese Silver
Exchange on Market Prices

With reference to the very distinct
bearing which the daily fluctuations
of the Shanghai Silver Exchange has
upon the market prices to Chinese
consumers of American products, Com
mercial Attache Julian Arnold cites
the fact that an importer os American
evaporated milk must at present pay
in Chinese currency 100 per cent more
per case for this commodity than he
did in March. 1920, although the
American exporter is selling the proc
uct at 81 United States gold less per
case.
Since April, 1920, silver exchange
has dropped from 81 United States
gold, equaling 1.411z taels, to 81, equa.-
ing 0.62 tael, with the fall amounting
sometimes to as much as o.lG iael on
the dollar in one day. Through thee
fluctuations Chinese dealers have los.
heavily during the past year.

In Wall Street
Bears Work for Lower Pricess

It was apparent right from the start
yesterday that the bear party was try
ing to make the most Of all the under
ground rumors that have been going
the rounds of the Street during the
last few days, and they seemed to pay
little attention to reports that a re-
assuring statement was soon to be is
sued from important banking quarters
There was hardly stock about which
unfavorable things were not said. Some
observers declared that the present de-
cline would not be over until the mar
ket ran into volume day, when signs
of a recovery might be looked for
This reasoning was based on previous
downward movements of the year. Fur
thermore, it was pointed out that II
such recovery was followed by sec
ond consecutive day Of advancing
prices, that was harbinger Of higher
prices ahead

General Asphalt Breaks

Those enthusiastically inclined on Gen
eral Asphalt received jolt yesterday
when the company issued report for
the six months ended June 80 last
showing deficit of S911 ,577 Before
the figures were made public the COM
mon stock had sold as high as 49A
but when it became known that the
company was running behind its eX-
pense account a flood of selling orders
pat in their appearance, and there was
a rapid decline to Az. At that point
the selling slowed up, and the closing
sale was at 44%, net loss of 49o
points. The spasmodic ups and downs
of General Asphalt have been one of
the mysteries of the stock market since
the first of the year. Earlier in the
year the stock rose from 4OA to 78as,
due, it is believed, largely to the ef-
forts of pool operators. There was a
time when much was said Of the. com
pany's oil holdings, but since the de-
fation in that industry this argument
has lost its force.

American international

Information in the possession Of Sec
retary of Commerce Hoover that Ger
man exporting manufacturers are fast
winning back the South American trade
they lost during the war was con-
strued as bearish factor on American
international yesterday, and traders
succeeded in depressing the price Of
the stock to the new low record price
of 20. With the company's business
tied up largely in foreign trade opera
tions, it was argued in these quarters
that the outlook for future business in
South America was not particularly
bright. Marine preferred, in which
American international has a substan-
tial interest, also turned weak, selling
from 43A to 39es, with the closing
transaction at Al, net loss of 21s
points,
