TICKET SALES
FOR MAT SHOW
STARTED here
Legion VIII Book All
Seats For Welter
Title Bout in Ad-
vance, Said

An intensive drive was 20 be start
ed Wednesday by the John Hanson
post OF the American Legion for the
sale of tickets to the championship
wrestling match here on January Is,
between Matty Matsuda, weller
weight king, and Jack German, of
Kansas City.
Almost 1000 tickets for the event
have been printed, t~hree-fourths of
this number calling for reserved
seats. Almost one-fourth of these
reserved seats have already been
sold.
It is the intention Of the Legion
officials to have every seat in the
house booked when the day of the
match dawns.
The match is to be held ut the Dit
mann theater, and the boys are
scheduled TO struggle through the
best two of three falls, each fall 10
be to a finish. The title of the little
Jap will be at stake as both are un-
der contract to weigh in at the
welterweight limit at 3 o'clock in the
afternoon of the bout.
German is one Of the leading con-
tenders for the title, and there is a
strong possibility that Brownsville
mat fans may see a new champion
crowned before the evening is over.
Matsuda, who is a Japanese, has
held the title since 1919. He won II
IN competition in Indiana and since
then has never been thrown at the
welter limit OF AS pounds ringside.
He is recognized as the greatest
wrestler of all weights so far as
science is concerned. According TO
those who have seen MIN on the nat
tho Jap star Is the fastest Of all.
His knowledge of leverage is I'M
canny and his ability to get out of
dangerous holds is a revelation TO all
who witness him in action.
His belt emblematic of the cham
pionship will be placed on display in
a local window. Moving pictures OF
him in action will be displayed at
local theaters.
The Jap is quiet. He is not a
rough wrestler and never resorts to
any bone breaking holds to win. His
methods af wrestling, according to
those who have witnessed him on the
mat, are aggressiveness.. perserver-
ence and science combined with a
wonderful pair Of legs that seem to
be everywhere. While down pom the
mat the Jap uses his legs as one
would their arms or hands.
His opponent. German, is reported
just the opposite in type OF wrestling
inasmuch as he is Of the rough and
tough and never firing kind. Those
who keep hammering away with one
purpose-that of wearing his oppo-
nent down. German is the fiery, hot
headed type who believes in crushing
while the Jap goes about his work
methodically and with a system.

Weekly Copper ReUiew
(By Charles r. Willis, Editor
The Mining Journal)

There has been general strength
ening of the metal market during the
past two weeks although it has not re-
Elected itself into the prices except
that bargain offers are not quite as
much in evidence. Copper stays at
1890 to the producer. The A. s. and
r. contract price of lead remains firm
at $50 and zinc is firm at 5.65.
Domestic interest IN copper has beer
tagging but the export demand MAIN
tains with excellent sales and there is
practically no more cheap copper to
be had Total sales are somewhat be-
low normal on account of the lack OF
domestic interest.
Lead sales are reported as good
with very few price concessions Con-
trary to the usual practice, however
lead is being sold at current prices for
March and April delivery. Zinc sales
are below normal as there is an up
ward tendency in price. The zinc
market has been buoyed up by ris-
ing London market.
Zinc is continuing unsatisfactory as
the U. S. production for the first hall
of January totaled 24,729 tons where
as there was but 21,114 tons shipped
thus creating another increase in sur
plus stock of slab zinc.
Zinc presents situation that seems
to be conflicting The world produc-
ton is larger than ever before in his
tory, consumption has likewise scared
to new height and there is but mod
est surplus of zinc, yet the industry
had bad year. AS expressed by one
writer, somehow or other, confidence
has been entirely lacking in the zinc
market and the price slumped in SYM
pathy with lead, of which there was a
super abundance, indicating over-por-
duction."
Dividends paid by the metal mines
for January, 1928, totaled $40, $50
The better condition of the industry
In spite of lower metal prices is re-
Elected into the dividend disbursements
as the figures for January, 1927, were
SIS, ,96O, ,995, thus showing about mil
lion and half better profits than a
year ago from virtually the same COM
panies. The disbursements for Octo-
ber, 1927, a corresponding quarter
showed $13,910,750 and for the mid
wear period, July, showed $l8,9Ol ,426.
The dividend exhibit reflects the fact
that the metal industries have bene-
fitted themselves during the period Of
price depression and have generally
lowered their costs thus permitting OF
increased profits with a lessened pro-
duction and lower price. The metal
situation during the past year has put
the producers on their toes to keep
pace with the poor market. Another
thing reflected into the larger divi-
dend disbursements is the feeling that

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb 4 (E9-Directly OPP
posite results from unsettled weather
developed in the grain markets today,
corn going upward in price and wheat
down. Good export business in corn
helped to lift corn values.
Closing quotations on corn were
firm, Ac to 1ac net higher. Wheat
finished unchanged to &c off, oats
at 1sc decline to %@Ac advance, and
provisions 22c to 60c down.
Right from the outset, the corn mar
ket showed an upward trend, wide
spread wet mild conditions prevalent
being adverse for the movement OF
the corn crop Besides, new export
business in corn was estimated at ESQ.,
600 bushels or more, with purchasing
going on both at the Gulf Of Mexico
and the Atlantic seaboard. The trad
ing basis at the gulf especially was
firmer 6% cents over the Chicago May
price being paid and offerings scant
even at cents.
Buenos Aires reports that the corn
market there had finished 1c to 19sc
higher, with new crop months show
ing the most strength, received par
ticular notice, and so too did advices
that Liverpool corn values were at the
highest point yet this season. On the
other hand, the cash corn trading
basis in Chicago was unchanged to 1c
lower, the decline being on the poorer
grades. Bookings of corn to arrive in
Chicago were small, mostly from other
markets rather than from growers.
Influenced by corn strength, wheat
rallied little at the last, but through
out the day was chiefly dominated by
the fact that scattered rains had fall
en- in parts of Texas. Oklahoma and
Kansas. A sharp break in wheat
prices at Liverpool was also bearish
factor in connection with reports OF
heavy shipments of wheat from Ar
gentine.
Oats prices kept within narrow
limits and were swayed by the action

The interest of the United States in

shown by the fact that during 1927
the United States p-oduc u 81 per

North America produced 81 per cent.

strength of few issues such as Van.

considerable short covering and led tc

The great increase in German I'M
ports of copper amounting to about 81
per cent during the past year is stated
to be due to the replacement OF metal
which was taken from all possible
sources for war purposes. Germany Is
rapidly returning to its pre-war manu-
featuring efficiency and is causing the
manufacturers of other countries tC
regard the competition seriously. AL
factors in Europe point toward the
maintenance of the large demand fol-
copper and the other metals The
United States is most interested, how
ever, in the copper requirements as
their lead and zinc is generally OBJ
tanned elswhere.
The copper reactions of the past few
weeks in Europe indicate that the Cop
per Exporters are going to make it un-
profitable and unattractive to specu-
late in that metal and are to main
tain the situation in stabilized con-
dition and free from speculative in
fluence. The exporting association
have the entire EUROPEAN situation
we'll in hand.
All indications in the copper indus
try point to a much better year in
1928 than in 1927 in net results fol
the mining companies, in the opinion
of Joseph Clendenin, manager OF the
sales department of Guggenheim
Brothers. The average price is sure tc
be materially higher, he says, and the
combined world demand at least as
good.
There is a promise of an era OF
better things in the whole European
copper industry; which will call fol
more copper this year than ever be-
fore" he says in an article written fol-
the Daily Metal Reporter. There is
no restriction now nor likely to be IN
the European demand for copper be-
cause of lack of cash or credit. The
need of copper is recognized as urgent
ly necessary in the rehabilitation OF
conditions. The buyers are strong IL
nancially; they are prospering and

lems." go.
