city was regarded as second in i'm
portance in the entire motor car
industry. Yet in 1928 one local com
pany, Marmon, will produce several
times as many cars as were manu-
featured collectively by every auto
mobile company in Indianapolis
when dozen or so factories were
located here.

undertone. Heavy buying orders lifted

sporadic profit.taking and bear selling
in other quarters, which tended to
give the market somewhat un-
settled appearance. Although there
were several soft spots, the general |
average in the railway group reached
a new high record.
The decline of 43,979 tons ~ steer

the close, caused little disappointment,
inasmuch as the loss was not so great
as had earlier been expected, pre-

having run as high as 100000 tons:

COTTON RAIL RATES
AGAIN HELD UNFAIR
Undue Favor for Shipments to
Water Fronts Charged by In
terstate Commerce Body.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
After reconsidering investigation
into adjustment of rates on cotton 10
Texas and Louisiana ports, the Inter
state Commerce Commission yester-
day reafiirmed a former finding that
railroad charges in the past have
unduly favored shipments to ship side
and unduly handicapped shipments to
warehouses and compress plants To-
Gated back from the water front.
The commission further held that a
revision Of such rates at Texas ports
would necessitate similar changes at
New Orleans and other Louisiana
ports. but decided that arrangements
at Mobile could be left unchanged.
The decision also laid down some con-
iitions to govern railroads in correct
ing schedules.
Careful considerat tion of the situa-
tion convinces us of the correctness
Of our former finding" the decision
said. "that the existing judgment of
rates on cotton to the Texas ports
gives to the waterfront warehouses
and congresses an unnatural and un-
lawful preference and subjects the
uptown and interior warehouses and
congresses to disadvantages"

BUYING OF STEEL
IN SMALL ORDERS
Further Shading of Copper
Quotations Occurs at End
of the Week.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April Steel prices
were maintained during the week
and mill production in many instances
was near capacity, but while there
remained good deliveries against con.
tracts, new business, apparently could
have been better. Railroads were
fair buyers of various equipments
and there We're large contracts re-
ported pending for structural steel,
but most of the orders placed were
said to be for relatively small ton
nages. The coal strike has not dis
turbed the industry. as fuel supplies
are adequate for some time as "a re-
suit of the surplus stocks accumu-
lated the past few months, and the
fact that independent producers are
expected to increase their output ma
terially. Pig iron was slightly
firmer; production during March was
large.
Further shading of copper quota
tions occurred toward the end of the
week with electrolytie offering at 13
cents delivered at Connecticut Valley
points. Small sales were reported At
this figure, but the decline evidently
failed of any Immediately stimulating
effect Early in the week a fair export
business was reported largely for ship
ment to the continent, but European
demand tapered Off following the de-
cline in the domestic price. with buy
ers probably waiting for readjust-
ments in export quotations. A reduc-
tion Of % cents per pound in the price
of bare copper wire and of Il cent in
other finished products was announced
by a leading manufacturer.
Tin was firm early with a higher
market abroad and predictions of
smaller straits shipments during
April. There was a moderate reaction
later when offers increased.
Lead was reduced again by leading
producers and consuming demand
was moderate. confined largely to
April shipment.
Zinc remained quiet and steady.
Dealers We're said to be inquiring for
forward delivery
Antimony was irregular. Some con.
cessions were offered for June de-
livery in. this market. Consumers
showed more interest although not
buying actively as a result of the con
fiicting news from China regarding
shipment possibilities.

Mr.. Meredth's recommendation for

the surplus, resulting in a balanced
production, which would meet the de-
nlands of domestic and foreign mar

pHEASANTS AT GLACIER RANCH
 GAIN LIBERTY
Brok ken Fence Permits Birds to Escape-Are
 Protectedby Game Law

An undetermined number as Chinese pheasants, probably n0. less than one dozen. which es- caped from the corral of the old Goldstein Glacier Fur Farm re- gently, are reported to be scat tered along the road as far as Me- Ginnis Greek, according to infor- nation received by W. W. (Billie) Taylor. who imported the parent stock from the States about a year ago. Part of the outer fence at the farm was blown down sev- eral days ago and the birds maee their way into the woods before the gap was discovered.
 These birds under the classifi- cation of game birds come within the puryiew of the Alaska Game Law, and are absolutely protected by its provisions.' it was an nounced today by H. W. Herhune, Executive Officer of the Alaska Game Commission The Commis- sion, he added, has watched Mr Taylor's experiment in pheasant propagation with the keenest in- terest. So far it has been attend ed with very good results and. if ! the birds are given chance to breed and multiply for a few sea sons. this entire district should be well stocked with them
 MT. Taylor had the pheasants shipped here from the States last year. For several months he kept them penned in on the vacant lot adjoining his store on Main Street. Last Spring he sent part of them to Charles Rudy's ranch an l others to various other ranches including the abandoned Goldstein place. The increases are reported 10 have been excellent. MT. Tay Tor, himself. expressed confidence that local sportsmen would nol bother the birds which are run ming at large. 1t is more to theii interest than to anybody else |. see that they are unmolested ant allowed to build up naturally. ale he is certain that this is generally realized by them.
