BULLS AGAIN IN
PRICE CONTROL
ON N. Y. MARKET.

NEW YORK, Jan. % (R-Specula-
ton for the advance was resumed on a
broad scale in todays stock market
after a week of comparative dullness.
Principal activity continued to center
in stocks in which pools are believed
to be operating, although substantial
gains also were recorded by several
investment issues Blocks of 5000 to
10000 shares changed hands at fire.
Quent intervals, the days sales run

$4,000 pounds) against 1888 tons in
November and 80,O65 tons in October.
Production of refined lead amounted
to 76,876 tons in December, 74,8O1 tons
in November and 1895 tons in Oc-
| tober. Stocks of refined lead in the
United States and Mexico totaled 32,-
366 tons at the end of December
against 30,O16 tons at the end of No
vember and 32,258 tons at the end of
October.
The December figures do not show
zinc to be in any better condition.
Stocks of zinc at end of December
were 40,751 short tons, against 39,320
Nov. 30, an increase Of 143l, accord
ing to American Zinc institute. Pro-
duction in December was 52,347 tons.
Shipments were 50,916 tons, of which
46, ,483 went to domestic consumers and
4,433 were exported. Metal sold but
not delivered at end of December was
%, 3,536 TONS For year ended Dec. 81,
zinc production totaled 613,548 short
tons. Shipments in 1927 were 594,-
684 tons of which 549,644 tons were
domestic and 45,O4O tons export.
The European situation is clearing
up beautifully. About four -fifths of
the British stocks of rubbish copper
which have been used to upset the
market conditions abroad, have now
disappeared and the remaining stock
now totals only 1922 tons, thus Civ
ing the Copper Exporters, Inc, prac-
tically complete control of the Euro
pean market.
Despite the enormous increase in
European consumption of copper dur
ing the past year, the outlook is very
good for continued increase during
1928 as there is steady industrial
| Improvement in practically all the
European countries and especially in
| electrical construction work. The
British superpower system is under
way and the Belgian government is
proposing to do similar work in that
country.
A significant feature Of 1927 has
been the lower average price of the
metals, a condition which has had a
serious effect on the mine revenues.
During 1926 the average price re-
ceived for silver was $0.624 per ounce,
for copper $0.14 per pound, lead 5000
per pound and zinc SCOTS per pound.
In 1927 these same figures were
$O.567, $O1S, $OO677 and $O.O62S res
pectively.
This average drop in prices has been
largely responsible for the drop IN
values of the metals produced by the
western states. Thus the total values
of the metals produced in Arizona
dropped from $113,536,288 in 1926 to
| 500, ,027, 100 in 1927 In Utah the
drop was from $82 2,66S 900 to $74,3480OO,
Montana from $59, 9,41O453 to $48078,-
600, Idaho from $3O,969,551 to $28,-
946,OOO, Nevada from $24,549,99l to
s22, ,e48 900, California from $20,05O, ,88l
| to $16,76850O and Colorado from $2O,-
482,O81 to $17,532, ,406.
general, the quantities OF metal
| produced ran about the same in these
states as during the last year, all
though the poor condition of the
lead and zinc market was reflected
into the production figures OF the
western mines, where costs average
higher as compared with the coasV
Ind middle west.
The year 1928 is started out better
insofar as the copper prices are con-
cerned but no better with lead ana
zinc, in fact, much worse IN ENC
than for the average OF the past
year and with little expectation OF
much Improvement in this price.

outside market" did much to restore
speculative confidence in the long side.
Other monetary accommodations were
unchanged, but apparently the flood
of money available on day. day loans
dispelled fears of q stringency of spec
ulative credit The reported resunp-
ton of activity by several large traders
who had achieved prominence in the
up-swing last year also served to at
tract following of small spectators
who daily haunt the board rooms OF
the leading commission houses.
There was little in the days business
news to influence the price movement.
Weekend commission. house comment
stressed the increased activity of the
steel and automotive- industries and
the excellent character of the 1927
chain store reports now being publish
ed. The fact that the market lapsed
into dullness in the reaction last week
was widely construed as an indication
that speculative accounts were well
margined, and that no general Hquida-
tion by investors had taken place, 2
u. S. Steel common crossed 149 to a
new high on the current recovery and
most of the other steels followed in it's
wake. Bethlehem, which has met the
ST a ton increase of the steel cor
poration on the prices of bars, sheets
and 70 tes, improved only fraction
ally. Aupp retained its leadership of
the motor group, more than 100000
shares changing hands with the final
quotation of 381s representing net
gain of IL points. General Motors
was about as active, but showed only
a small fractional gain at 1859.
Baking, merchandising, farm imple-
nent, public utility and express shares
recorded some striking gains. Adams
Express scared % points to a new high
record at 265, against low of 1876 less
than three weeks ago. Christie Brown
SCARED 1875 points to a new peak at
121. Abitibi Power, Case Threshing
and r. H. Macy each jumped about 8
points, while Abraham and Straus,
ternational Harvester, Laclede Gas,
Montgomery Ward, Radio and Wool
worth all advanced points or more.
Gold Dust, Westinghouse Electric and
Commercial Solvents also showed
marked appreciation in value.
Rubber shares were under accumu-
lation on reports of improving trade
conditions, with Ajax and Goodrich
prominent on the upswing. Packing
shares also were well bought.
Rails moveGt up with the industrials,
but most of the gains were held to a
point or Two. Southern Railway, Mo-
bile and Ohio certificates, which re-
corded a sensational advance last
week on reports of proceedings to test
the legality of the contract under
which they were issued, broke 25 points
today and recovered 10 on selling pre-
influenced by the announce
ment that the Southern Railway would
strenuouSly oppose any effort to in
validate them.
Cotton prices lost about ST bale in
reflection of the bearish Interpretation
placed upon the government ginning
figures and the weekend weather
reports. Wheat prices also drifted
lower on reports of more favorable
weather. Slight recessions took place
in coffee futures, but sugar prices held

The Finley livestock Judging
team composed of Dan Carter,
Guy Lyons and Joseph Johnson,
placed 9th IN the Judging contest
at the state fair. The only con-
ISOLATION in the placings made, by
the team was the fact that the
last eight teams scored less than
1900, the scores of the Finley
team being HOO. The winning
team was the Buena team from
Yakima county which made a
score of 1850 out Of . possible
1900. The fact that the eight re-
manning teams were only 80
points apart between the End and
9th shows that Judging was close
and classes rather difficult.
The placing Of the three boys
on the team is as follows: Joseph
Johnson first, with a score Of
385 out of a possible 500; Guy
Lyons second, with a score OF
375 out of a possible 500; and Oar
Carter third, with a score of 34t
out of possible 500. The only
perfect placing on the part of any
of the local boys was in the beef
class, where Joseph Johnson plac.
ed the class correctly.
The boys undoubtedly need mucl
more work and experience OF
Judging. It is difficult to get al
of the boys together for enough
time to give them the necessar.
training to place well in these con
tests. 1t is hoped that between nov
and the Pacific International tina
these boys can be given enough
help to give them chance at thi
show.

After school Friday the Orange
Phantoms played practice game,
which resulted in score of 8 to

end of the game Coach Smith had
found several new prospects and
had also found the squads mis-
takes which he is ironing out into
a smooth-running combination.
The team appreciates the en-
thusiastic supporters who have
been out to watch the practice
games. Such support is one Of the
strongest outside aids the team
has.

The English z class has review
ed the Anglo-Saxon period of old
English literature. They have seen
how England was influenced by
the invading nations, such as the
Romans, Anglo-Saxons and
Danes.
What really caused the Ameri-
can Revolution? Was it a. ques-
ton of loyalty or liberty? This is
what the u. S. History Class is
finding out.
The Physics Class has discover
ed how much easier it is to use
the Metric system to find densi-
ties, volumns, and weights, than
the English system. They have
also studied the principle of the
force and lift pumps.
The General Science class thinks
that watching Mr.. Clark make
oxygen and hydrogen is lot of
fun. Nevertheless, they are sup
pose dto be able to tell how it is
done.
Latin / seems to be confusing
for some students. They are learn
ing second declension and can't
see why one word has so many
endings.
The thrilling tale of Treasure
Island is being read by the Fresh
men in English 1. This is probably
why they have been getting their
LESSONS.
The chemistry class has not
started any experiments yet. They
are reading about the weights of
oxygen and hydrogen, and the
combination of gases.
Quite bit of interest is shown
in the tipping / class. They get
discouraged once in a while and
crush and cram up an inaccurate
paper. Besides groups of words,
they are now tipping sentences.
Good English should be a mat.
