AID TO METAL TRADE

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
Mining experts in Washington believe
the proposed moratorium would tend to
strengthen non-ferrous metals, particu-
larly copper. lead and zinc.
It<granted, they say. foreign nations
win be better able to replace with
United States products WORKOUT ma
chinery and units through funds that
otherwise would not have been available.
Inclusion Of non-ferrous metals in
the petition of the railroads for a
freight rate incfease is held in some
mining quarters as disturbing, while
in others it is felt such an increase
might have tendency to create uni
form price level. There is agreement,
however. that any increase in freight
rates would be accompanied by higher
prices for all non-ferrous metals.
Copper and lead prices have shown a
tendency to advance during the last
several days, the former gaining nearly
a cent pound and the latter nearly as
much. / lAi

EXPORT SHIPMENT 0F
 ALASKA CEDAR LOGS

A small sample shipment of AL aska's best grade of yellow cedar logs were sent from Ketchikan destined for Osaka, Japan, Eng land and Germany, says the Ket- chikan Chronicle.
 The shipment is being made by Parks and Seiig who say that continental Europe is in the mar ket for high grade yellow cedar logs, and that the Alaskan quail ity cannot be excelled anywhere. Japan has always been a heavy buyer in normal times of Alas ka cedar logs.
 Parks and Selig are said to be the only exporters in Alaska at the present time who are special izing in logging and shipping of yellow cedar. It is said that they are in position to quote prices to any foreigner domestic port and to fill any reasonable orders fol yellow cedar which the outside markets might demand.
 l Alaska cedar is known to be the slowest growing wood found or the North American continent ane is often referred to- as the "wooc everlasting" It is universally re- cognized as a superior wood, due to the natural oil found in thu tree which preserves 1t from de- cay and has always been in de. mand for battery separator steel both in America and abroad.
