dicted that 1922 will be a year of rcor-

consultations. where those who arc
worthy OF leading will absorb the weak.
where disastrous overhead expense in

nesses will return to sound business
principles.
While the worst Is certainly behind
us, In the speakers opinion, he declared
that liquidation has gone about as far
as it can and that businesses must now
look for their rehabilitation to profits
from operation under stronger competi-
tive conditions than have existed for
some years. Concluding the address.
MIR. Mitchell said

December Copper Sale. on.

The sales of foreign and domestic
copper in December showed a sharp de-
cline from those Of November, according
to figures obtained yesterday. Decem-
ber's sales were pu: at a little more than
100000 pounds. in contrast to 1885,
100000 In November and 100000 in
October The monthly average sales for
the last quarter were 1876, 900, 900 pounds,
Of which about 100000 were for do
nestle consumption and 65.000.000 for

The Little oils,

Although most lower priced oils were
fractionally lower yesterday. 1t was re-
ported In reliable quarters that consider
able accumulation of those issues was
going on by insiders as a result of lower
prices established In the last few days.
The recent cut in price Of Pennsylvania
crude oil had a rather demoralizing ef-
feet on the stock market SO far as oil
shares were concerned and the feeling,
amounting almost to a conviction. that
Midcontinent crude would be cut 25
cents q barrel within a week or so did
not help the situation much. The oil
companies however expect that they
will be able to make good showing
even II the present heavy production
forces 25 cent cut. It was reported
that although profits for the year were
lower than they were in 1920, most OF
them were able to show substantial
surplus for the stock even with oil sell
ing at 81 a barrel most of the time

September quarter. which was the period

the Industry for this year.

Whole Market Soft.

With few exceptions the general list
was inclined yesterday to softness. A
few spots displayed strength entirely
out OF line with the rest OF the list, hut
most stocks were under pressure
throughout the session. Cheapness Of
money rate probably induced buying
that otherwise would not have appeared
and counteracted TO some extent the
general disposition TO sell stocks. sbecu-
lative favorites Of the last few weeks,
such as Houston Oil. American Locomo-
tive. American Car and Foundry, Cen
eral Asphalt. California Petroleum and
certain minor stocks. were sold most Of
the day and all closed with substantial
losses. Although United States steel
common was weak all through The scs-
sion. closing with a net loss of more
than n point, at s29s. independent stecls
including SIoss-Sheffield. Republic. Mid
vale and Bethlehem. registered slight
gains. Reports that the independent
steel merger plan was nearing a stage at
which definite announcement might be
looked for soon was an important factor
in the fivnness OF those issues.

Dispatches from Philadelphia declared
that inasmuch as the dividend was not

to be held late In this month, but that

year began the notes owed by the cor
poration amounted to $29. 600. 900, but all
Of them had been paid before the end of

which stood at $72,6oo,oo0 at the begin

has no big supply of crude rubber and
has been buying at the market for con-
siderable time. No effort has been made
to contract ahead to supply its need of
crude. and what little It has on hand
stands the company around the current
figure Of 81 cents pound.

From the known fact that the Int sr-

It's docket OF routine matters and small
cases. the belief prevails In certain local
railroad quarters that larger cases pend

soon. One railroad authority expressed
yesterday the opinion that the commits

OF rates between the New England car
riers and the trunk lines would be made
In the next ten days. On January II
the commission will resume it's inquiry
into the general subject of rates and
