SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 2.--Steady declines in the price of many metals throughout the Twelfth Federal Re serve District, were noted in the monthly report of John Perrin, San Francisco. made public here.
 Mr. Perrin's report, which covers conditions in Oregon, Washington, California. Nevada, Idaho, Utah and Arizona. shows that the present quo tations for copper are il per cent below the peak levels of March 1923. while those of Aead are 13 per cent below, silver { per cent and zinc 21 per cent below
 The effect of this situation on pro duction of metals throughout the dis trict has been accentuated by com pletion of government purchases of domestic silver under the Pittman Act of 1918. which fixed the price at which the government must buy silver at e1 an ounce. Final tenders of silver under this act were accepted by the director of the mint of June 2, 1928. and domestic silver mined thereafter must be sold on the open market. The average open market price for silver during June was 65

Tears Are Amiss In Business
 Advice to Women

New York, Aug 2. = Women to succeed in business must learn to dress comfortably without los ing the charm of their sex, and to take correction from the boss without weeping, according to Mrs. Alice Foote MackDougall, New York business woman.
 Mrs. MacDougall, who predict ed recently that within century women will be doing all the busi- ness" said that the observance of a few simple rules would hasten the time when they would take over such control. Other suggestions were:
 Discuss abstract questions without making personal appli- cation of everything that is said"
 "Stick 10 agreements without squirming if you are getting the worst of it."

cents an ounce, and the mines which produce silver only have thus been seriously affected. many being forced to shut down. Lead mines of the district which also produce large quantities of silver, have. however, generally maintained production at previous levels.
 Copper and zinc mines have been less affected by developments in the silver market than silver and lead mines. Their response in curtailed production to the price declines has thus far been limited. The large size of most of the copper operations makes it difficult to adjust output to fluctuations of the market which may prove to be temporary, and no de- cline of copper production has fol lowed the fall in prices of this metal. A significant feature of the copper market during June was the report of the Copper Export Association that 400.000,000 pounds of copper marked for export in 1921 has now been completely sold.
 Production of zinc during June was slightly less than in the previous month in Utah. but unchanged in Idaho.
