COPPER MARKETING
CHANGE is SOUGHT
Curtailment Program in Effect, but
Price Levels Are Still
Uncertain.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, December 12-Erorts
OF American copper producers to reach
an agreement on new revised market
ing plan were reported in copper circles
to be still far from successful, owing to
objections interposed by one of the
largest companies.
The curtailment program for inter-
national production, to which the Bel
glan interests recently are understood
10 nave agreed, was said to be working
out satisfactorily, but stabilization Of
prices at higher levels was believed to
depend largely on the adoption by pro-
ducers IN the United States of a new
foreign marketing scheme.
=, various copper companies have agreed
tnat some changes should be made in
tne market methods of Copper Export
ers, Inc, the selling organization repre-
senting the bulk of the industry in the
export market. At the same time there
Is disagreement as to just how drastic
these changes should be.
the Phelps Dodge Corporation, third
largest In the copper trade, recently
withdrew from Copper Exporters be-
cause Of dissatisfaction with the export
sales practices. While 1t was believed
IN some quarters the Phelps Dodge or
ganizatton might rejoin the export con-
Germ under certain circumstances, there
was no intimation from the offices of
the corporation that there had been
any change In its attitude.
At the same time other important
producers are said to feel that the CO.
operation of Phelps Dodge is essential
to any successful curtailment and mar
keting agreement.

Preferred Stocks.
NEW YORK, December IL

NEW YORK, December IL Especially.
The hysteria among holders of rail-
road bonds has broken out among own
ers OF public utility preferred stocks.
IN one case there may be certain
amount of justification for alarm, owing
to dividends that have been passed and
the small margin of safety remaining
for numerous railroad mortgages. Wall
Street sees no such excuse for selling
the high-grade public utility senior
shares, as dividends are regularly being
paid and are being earned at about
the same rate as in 1880 and in 1929.
In spite of this there are numerous in
stances of public utility preferred stocks
declining day after day. A group of 10
such preferred shares, which sold earlier
in the year at an average yield of per
cent, was quoted today in an average
return ofpYer IL per cent.

CONSTRUCTIVE BANKING
DEVELOPMENTS NOTED
By the Associated Press.

Sy Lne ASSOCIATED IreSS.
Virtually all developments in the
banking and financial fields during the
last month have been of a constructive
nature.
The exodus of gold from this country
has been reversed and the metal Is
gradually finding its way back to Ameri-
can shores. Likewise bank deposits
have been built up, indicating that the
former timidity on the part of deposi-
tors has been, in part, eliminated. The
effect of this has been to strengthen
the banking situation, evidenced in the
estimate at the Treasury Department
that November's bank fatalities will be
only about one-third as great as in
October
Money rates have receded coincident
to stoppage of the outward flow of
gold, and are held to represent more
nearly a normal level between the
money supply and available credit and
the demand for funds.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December l2-Forty-
one per cent Of all the stocks traded
on the New York Stock Exchange are
selling at less than $40 a share, ac-
cording TO Frazier Jelke & Co. invest
ment survey Sixty-six per cent are
selling at under $25 and only per
cent above 500.
The survey attributes low prices TO the
small size Of share units as well as TO
the business depression and the unsatis-
factory trade outlook. During the 1922
1929 common stock booms, shares were
subdivided into much smaller units
through split-ups, stock dividends, mer-
gers and capital -diluting subscription
privileges. AS a result, the fractional
ownership represented by the average
common share is smaller than in pre-
vious bear markets.
A list of u companies. each having
5000 900 or more shares and total Of
GOT ,553 1874 shares issued, is illustrative
of the trend toward small share pieces.
Thirty-one companies have over TO-
100000 shares each and 10 each have
over 100000 shares.
Bases Of Values.

capacity Fundamentally, a share of
stock inca concern having 100000 shares
of stock issued is worth just 10 times
as much as a share Of stock in the
same company If it had 100000 shares
outstanding.
"The idea that 500 is the logical
value, and therefore the normal price
of share of stock persists in the back
ground Of the reasoning of American
investors but, for the most part, the
indefinite no par value equity has re-
placed the 500 par unit in. corpora
tion practice. The stock which sells
near or above 500 often is regarded as
of better investment grade than 1t
really is, while the issue which sells for
less than $50, regardless of its merit,
is likely to be prejudged as In the

At the sound of Corrinne's fright ened voice, an icy fear blew against Sues heart.
 Something had happened, some- thing else, she pondered. And Cor rinne needed her. The memory of Corrinne's standing in front of her house, with dreams crushed in the brown velvet eyes came back to Sue. Corrinne seemed so young. So much like little girl whose favorite doll had been broken or who hadn't been invited to the birthday party of the little boy next door.
 She's so much too young to be married" Sue unused. she still has so much of her growing up to do, and Harry may not recognize that her pains are growing pains"
 She didn't dress up. She grabbed a heavy old plaid sports coat from the wardrobe under the back stairs and pulled a brown felt tam over her curls. :.
 'IlI be back soon, if Jack comes," she told her parents. She kissed them lightly, because she Was afraid that she would cry if wasn't gay and carefree, and ran down the walk.
 Corrinne met her at the door.
 "Oh, Sue, l thought you would never come! Sarah's been gone all evening. And I need someone to help me. You will, won't you? Prom ise me. please"
 "Of course!"
 "Youve promised. You can't go back on your word Sue I've got job, driving taxicab. Every night from five until nine. But my legs won't work tonight. feel queer and I'm scared to start out. But If l fall down the first night I can't have the job. So will you. will you. "Will drive for your" Sue asked. But they would know the differ ence.'
 "Oh, no. wore that bright vel lew wig when got the job. The manager knows who am but he thinks I'm doing the thing for a lark. All you have to do 1t put on the hair and take my place. We're the same size. And he won't notice 1 that your eyes are blue instead o1 brown. Are you game? ?"
 Sue knew. that she ought to refuse .. that she probably ought to get in touch with Harry. that she ought to take Corrinne home with her. But she couldn't worry her father and mother now. Corrinne ini- terrupted her thoughts.
 'sI was hoping that Harry would want me to come home today, Sue, but he didn't. I'd sworn I'd never go back. ]. but all of my pride just tumbled and wanted to-" She threw her head back proudly. "I won't say that I don't love Harry. becaues I do. And I'm not ashamed of 1t. Only. he didn't want me. He said so. Sc that's that isn't 1t 2" Her srDiie was crooked and a tear rolled down her nose. s
 "Oh CorrinneH Sue slipped her arms around the younger girl. "Ot course I'll drive the taxicab, If you want me to. But how will It help you?"

 Don't let them gulp it, either, and make d face. Make them drink it slowly. eat it, as the saying goes now and like 1t.
 After school if the air is not too muggy or the ground too damp. don't fuss about them coming in and getting a book. If they are safe on the sidewalks or yard or on the porch let them play out with their skates and kites and wagons. Just tell them to keep out of the middle of the street, that's all. Put rubbers on them and See that they are warm enough. Damp shoes aren't good things ever.
 In the morning setting up exer- cises are good with open win dows and at least dozen deep breaths that will stretch their lungs. They'll hate all this, but 1t is the best thing on earth for them.
