ment in zinc selling, it is not up to
normal. The price has been held more
firmly than would be indicated by the
small sales Zinc surplus increased
about 5000 tons during January, this
being caused by the fact that produc-
tion totaled 56,S9S tons while only 49,
S73 tons were shipped. The total zinc
surplus at the beginning of February
was 29,219 tons.
The dullness in silver and the lack
of prospect of any price increase in the
near future has caused more of the
mines dependent upon silver to shut
down Or curtail production. There has
been a see saving Of buying and SELL
ing with China and India that has kept
the market down.
The Pitman silver purchase act pro-
viding for the purchase of 1850, 900
ounces of silver at 81 an ounce, is tied
to the tail of the McFadden- Branch
banking bill and it's progress toward
passage at this session depends upon
the disposition of the Branch banking
bill.
This view was expressed by Senator
Pittman of Nevada, author of the BILL
who said that if the McFadden bill is
disposed of in the immediate future,
he is advised that the house committee
on banking will seek action on the sill
yer purchase act. The bill has already
passed the senate.

refined lead production was running
about $4,000 tons per month and then
it jumped to 1867 tons in October and
has stayed close to that figure since.
The production increase, accompanied
by business depression, has caused the
price drop. The total surplus of refined
pig lead in the United States and Mexi-
co on February 1,-45,O5O tons-is far
higher than it has been in many years,
and almost three times as high as a
year ago.
Zinc also took it's jump and it's slump
in October, when zinc production in
creased from 107, ,673 tons in Septem-
ber to 114,353 tons in October. Zinc
was still going strong in January in
spite of the weakness in the market,
for 120,45O tons was the world produc-
tion during that month. The February
figures will undoubtedly show drop
in production.
The much suggested remedy for the
present conditions of the copper, lead
and zinc markets is curtailment of
production. This has been going on in
the lead and zinc industry, and has
just about, started among the south
western copper mines. 1t is not going
to take a great amount of curtailment
in any of the metals to bring about the
desired result of balancing production
with consumption, but the present mar
ket is very sensitive to overproduction.
The curtailing of lead production is
not shown materially on the January
reports, as the refined lead production
fro "a Tni cd Ctot 40 on l.,
dropped off about 1000 tons from the
| December figures. The trouble with
| lead production, as with copper, was
the extra production during October,
| November and December without the
consumption making any demand for it.
"The sensitiveness of the copper mar
I! ket," stated one writer. as Illustrated
by the fact that because of an increase
! in production over three months pc
riod, totaling about three days actual
| consumption of the metal, the price
dropped a cent a pound"
1 Copper buying has continued well,
and it is evident that copsumers have
fulfilled their immediate needs, as buy
| ing has now slowed up. The copper
market is standing reasonably strong
at 1875 with many of the producers un-
/ willing to quote for future deliveries.
This is partially due to the fact that
they are well sold ahead already and
that it is probable that we may see a
| little better price.
The demand for lead for immediate
delivery shows that the consumers
have been holding themselves close on
stocks. All lines of lead users are in on
the buying except the battery manu-
facturers The dealers are not quoting
beyond March delivery, although the
industry does not desire an advance in
the metal unless it can come on a
sound basis that can be maintained.

Campbell BIameIess.

The District Commissioners today
reversed the findings of the~Police
Trial Board against Policeman Ben
jamin r. Campbell of the tenth pre-.
cinct on charges Of improperly dis.
charging his revolver.
Campbell was fined 500 for firing
at a speeding automobile, which he
chased through the Catholic Univer-
sity grounds July 10. One Of the bull
let's from his revolver struck and kill.
ed Larry Hall, a passenger in the
speeding machine.
The trial board found the policeman
guilty on two Of the three counts pre-
ferred in the charges, but the Com.
missioners, after an exhaustive study
of the records in the case, reached this
conclusions: THAT the finding and
sentence of the Police Trial Board is
reversed. as in the opinion of the
Board of Commissioners the use of
the revolver under the circumstances
indicated in the testimony was jus.
tifiable in self.defense and was not in
violation of the regulations"
The action of the Commissioners
clears Campbell completely, as the
coroner's jury had previously rendered
a verdict that the officer had fired in
self-defense and the grand jury had
refused to indict him.
A storm of protest followed the
shooting and resulted in Maj. Edwin
b. Hesse, superintendent of police, or
dering an investigation by the trial
board. Senator Edwards of New Jer
sey was one of the complainants, de
scribing the killing of Hall as cold
blooded murder" and threatening tc
seek an investigation of the Police De

Honest, fair and intelligent adver-

of the Washington Advertising Club,
in the ballroom of the City Club yes

The national advertiser. Mr.. Hahn
said, is too apt to regard the retailer
as a mere agent and to attach no inn
portanee to whether. he is reputable or
not, thus giving the man who is mere:
ly able to pay his rent an equal ad-
vantage, which he does not deserve.
with the man who has millions of dol
lars invested. Manufacturers are
often dictatorial, he continued, as to
prohibiting retail merchants handling
other lines of goods and often adopt
unfair means in their publicity to kill
competition and prevent the retailer
from selling articles other than their
own. The national advertiser, he said,
should endeavor to see the local mer-
chants viewpoint that it is best for
him and for the public to keep differ.

by belief in his own product as to be
intolerant Of competition and unfair

Mr.. Hahn gave the reasons for the
present slump in the effectiveness
of advertising as general careless.
ness in the use Of advertising space
and, principally, the fact that bust.
ness is not advertising honestly, fair

the customer. An advertisement
