metal producing and refining COM
panies in the country was virtually

Gently were quoted at $275 in the

conda is equivalent tc, $500 on the
basis of todays quotation OF $50 for
Anaconda stock.
Acquisition of American Brass,
the largest individual consumer of
copper, by Anaconda, the largest do
nestic producers OF copper, will
tend, it is believed in trade circles,
to strengthen that industry. De-
tails of the deal were worked out
today, after six months of.active ne
gotiations.
The participants were c. F.
Brooker, chairman. and J. E. Coc,
president of the American Brass
company, and ]. D. Ryan, chairman,
and c. +. Kelly, president of. the
Anaconda Copper Mining company.
Over 90 per cent of the stock Of
the American Brass company was
represented at the meeting, but the
actual sale is contingent on the ac-
ceptance OF Anaconda's terms by
not less than 81 per cent of the
$l5,000,000 outstanding stock of the
American Brass company.
