OUTLOOK IN COPPER
INDUSTRY BRIGHTER
American Mining Congress
Believes Prices Will Rise
as Stocks Are Sold.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Despite the lowest market in more
than 20 years, the outlook for the cop
per industry of the country Is viewed
optimistically by the American Mining
Congress.
Nor does the advent of Canadian and
Rhodesian producing areas now coming
into production appear menacing to the
congress, which declares there will be
consumption enough for all as Ameri-
can standards of living become more
general through the utilization of cleo
trio power devices. The metal can be
fairly described as the handmaiden Of
the electrical age.
Foreign countries, principally Europe,
are now coming back into the market,
despite their curtailed purchasing pow
ers. Recently one days foreign sales
of copper amounted to $500 900 pounds,
with Germany taking three-fifths of the
total. During the same week one Of
Americas leading electrical firms placed
orders for approximately four months
in advance, actuated by the current
prices.
Producers last year. according to the
congress, spent approximately 100000
900 for equipment, material and sup
plies with which to produce 2,002, 0OO,-
900 pounds of copper During the year
United States imports amounted to
947,312,201 pounds, largely in the form
of copper ore concentrates and black
blister. and exported 992 1895. 10 pounds,
largely in the form of refined copper.
The current market Is slightly above
10 cents pound. A survey made by
the Tariff Commission covering SO per
cent of this countrys total primary cop
per output showed that the average cost
was IL 81 cents per pound last year, as
against 1927 cents in 1928. Curtail-
ment of production at present is about
20 per cent, and while the per-unit cost
should theoretically rise, the congress
believes the price will do likewise as
the supply is reduced and the demand
increased

SEES FOUNDATION NOW
FOR HIGHER MARKE 7

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 3.-The stock
market has recently been making
arm foundation which may possibly
provide the basis for bull market
lasting into 1882, according to Norman
Merriman, economist for the New York
Stock Exchange firm Of Samuel Unger-
leider 81 Co., in an article published
in the current issue of the Wall Street
Review. Calling attention to the enor-
NOUS change that has taken place in
the last year in both the fundamental
position of the stock market and the
public's mental attitude as to the out
lock, Mr.. Merriman says that todays
prophet of dire disaster is almost as
certainly absolutely wrong as was last
years prophet of perpetual prosperity

THE MARRIAGE SLUMP

Wasn't it Schopenhauer. the philosopher of pessimism, who de- clared that the number of mar riages taking place depended alto gether upon the price Of rye?
 Seems we are experiencing some thing Of the sort throughout the nation, marriage license clerks seeming to agree that prevailing economics are having a vital in fluence upon the substantial reduc- tion in the marriage totals.
 Comparative figures for the month Of June with the Junes of previous years show a remarka ble decline; but, as one astute mar riage statistician pointed out, the decline really has been under way for years, especially when one ctS- siders the natural increase in the population.
 It costs money 10 get married, and the old saw that two can live as cheaply as one" seems to have been exploded. It can't be done, is the prevailing attitude; and under mod ern conditions it may cost four times as much for at least awhile.
 So Dan Cupid gets the laugh. Young folks probably show a tendency to fall in love just as readi- ly as ever before, but they don't SC. married as readily. Probably they prefer to put 1t off until a more propitious time, and then run the risk of having their ardor cool It being pretty we'll established that money is one of the factors in getting married, how about al auto mobile ride out into the country this nice evening?

THE DAY WE, CELEBRATE

Once again rolls round the day we celebrate The day when all Americans go forth to do homage to the birth Of the nation. Some of Us may take sufficient time to re- read the Declaration Of Independ- ence-but why bring that up? It may be a hot day. and too noisy for mental concentration.
 There IS the detail of fireworks, which is on the minds Of many citizen. Some towns have barred them. others are thinking Of bar ring them, while in still others there are no signs that such thing will be done or be at all necessary.
 There nas been a substantial de- crease from deaths due to fireworks during the last co years The reduc- ton in deaths has been so pro- nounced that no longer are statistics being kept on the subject
 Twenty years ago campaigning newspapers de1 oted much space to the toll Of the dead and maimed. The Chicago Tribune, for instance. used to oe at great pains to cover all the deaths from fireworks through out the entire United States-not in detail, but statistically speaking. It took weeks after each celebration Of the national holiday for the Tri- bune to cease discussing the hor- rifying result. Naturally, other news papers and the press services, re- lying upon the Tribune as q foun- tain head Of indignation on the subject, reflected the situation so that something of the same sort got into every other newspaper.
 Several developments have made highspiritad indignation no longer necessary. First, but not most i'm portant, has been the advances made in medical science in prevent ing the spread of tetanus Nowadays every police station and hospital is we'll supplied with antitoXin, and lockjaw cases are rarely met with.
 Second, and most important, is the family automobile.
 What a difference the almost uni versal use of the automobile has made in the celebration of the Fourth. It has come to point where innumerable families, in stead of bothering with fireworks. begin autoing early in the day and keep it up until late at night. Come to think of it, a trip into the country is a fair substitute for fireworks, all though it is largely a matter Of taste.

Observations On He Weather

Washington, July 3.-Forecast for Southern New England: Fair to- night and Friday, not much change in temperature; moderate northerly winds.
 Forecast for Eastern New York: Fair and continued cool tonight and Friday; moderate, possibly fresh north or northeast winds
 Forecast for New Haven and vicinity: Fair with moderate tenn perature tomorrow and Friday.
 Conditions: A disturbance is central off the Virginia coast. Pres sure is high over the Lake region and Ontario. This pressure distribu- ton has caused cool north 10 north east winds over New England and the Middle Atlantic states. A few light showers were reported along the North Atlantic coast and heavy rains in Manitoba. Temperatures are lower in the Atlantic coast states from Virginia northward. Conditions favor for this vicinity fair weather with moderate tenn perature.
New Britain herald., 1930-07-03

AS indicating that the use of the automobile is putting a serious crimp into fireworks usage on the Fourth Is comparison of the number of people who succumbed to automobile accidents on this day last year. On the Fourth of July, 1929, there were 70 deaths from automobile accidents, as against 54 on the same day in 1925, and II deaths from drowning. Another sign of the times is that there were two deaths from airplane accidents on the Fourth in 1928, and four last year.
 We do not celebrate the signing of the Declaration Of Independence 154 years ago, but the official adoption of this instrument. The signing of Jefferson's original draft almost without change did not take place until August .. We could just as well celebrate the signing Of the Declaration as the day Of it's adoption without the signatures. But that is q mere detail We would have a grand holiday nevertheless.

 Perhaps the Mayor doesn't like this system so far as it is followed in local politics; if he doesn't he is not alone. To change it along just lines. however, would require up- heavals from the top to the bottom, not necessarily only at the bottom.

work of the league

work of the league.
 Ten years have passed and the time has come for full and frank self-examination. Has there been too much facile acceptance Of the limitations imposed by outside con- ditions? Has too much heed been paid to the frequent counsels Of wisdom and prudence?
 This office can confidently say that it has done valuable work, but it is small in comparison with the ideals to which it owes its birth.
 Can it not be argued with soma justification that, unconsciously and under new names, the old routine and the old ideas have gained tho upper hand and that the interna- tional organizations have been in- spired more by the rules of the old diplomacy than by the ideals of President Wilson?
 Ideals Objectionable Now?
 The regresson may perhaps hava been so great that critics may even object to any reference to the name of Wilson or, to the ideals of the arnistiCe period.
 We are rooted in the past anj held in the grip of tradition, and the only method of escape from It into the new world glimpsed in 1919. the world of organization and jus- tice, is by unFemitting examination and testing of methods and proce- dure, by continuous adaptation of them to changing conditions, and by constantly holding up the results ob- tained to the mirror of the great ideal of world peace"

IROU BLES OF BASEBALL
 INDUSTRY

Professional ba SC ball seems to De facing as many financial difficulties as a third rate carnival show. Yes, the Yankee Stadium is packed to the concrete pillars on Sundays; but the crowd is there primarily to see Babe Ruth knock out "a few more homers,' rather than being espc- cially interested in the team as whole or in the league race. If Babe Ruth were a great golf player or a beating tennis player there would be crowds all the same. The star system in baseball works to the advantage of the few teams possessing the big stars; and there certainly do not appear to be enough stars 10 go around.
 A Sunday or 90 ago the Cleveland Indians played in their home town and there were a sparse 2,70O people in the stands. This record breaking poor attendance for Sunday game in 9, large city indicates the troubles the general run of teams are having Except in New York, where Babe i Ruth holds sway, such troubles are quite general.
 The Eastern league has just suf- fered a serious blow in the drop ping Of the Hartford and Pittsfield teams from the race. IL has sur- prised many that the proud city of Hartford has had to play quits in this league; Pittsheld, being much smaller city, yields less of shock.
 The baseball industry is not fac ing it's difficulties because of the general industrial slump; profess sional teams have been tottering for years. and last summer during | the commercial boom many of them barely made both ends meet. The trouble IS one of many counter at- fractions.
 Professional baseball was at it's best as d vicarious sport for the masses at a time when fewer of the masses were able to amuse them cal, years when there was nothing else for the average person to do of z Saturday aftrnoon or Sunday except to go to a baseball game or into the city parks.
