COPPER PRICE WAR
STlRS EXPORT TRADE
Some U. S, Firms Reported Selling
Metal Abroad at 5 Cents
Pound.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July IA miniature
price war continues in the export
copper market as an outcome Of the
recent withdrawal of several members
from Copper Exporters, Inc, copper
trade interests here said.
1t was reported that producers who
quit the foreign selling body have con-
tinued this week to sell copper at 5
cents a pound abroad. This is the
lowest price in history and a figure
which, the copper trade says, means
little or no profit to the sellers.
/ The Belgian Katanga Co. is said to
have been the first to offer metal at
this price which was promptly met by
the other retiring members. 1t is un
derstood that only small amount Of
metal Is being sold in the foreign
market and the trade is disposed to
look for a new agreement shortly which
will ease up the present highly COM
petitive conditions.
Copper buying continues very light
in the domestic market, though some
selling agents said 1t is running better
than last week.
Producers are continuing their con-
ferences to find solution for the pres
ent surplus of metal, put few in the
trade feel optimistic enough to predict
satisfactory outcome, unless almost
complete suspension of mining opera
tions in this country is accepted as the
way out.

MONEY MARKET.

NEW YORK, July 7 (P)-Lowering
of the renewal rate on call money to 2
per cent from the long standing 212
per cent rate was the feature of today's
money market. The drop marked the
first change in the rate since last Oc-
tober and was occasioned, according to
banking circles, by the trend toward
easier credit conditions, as evidenced by
the recent lowering of the Federal Re-
serve Bank rediscount rate and the
cutting of yield rates on bankers ac-
ceptances Time money was unchanged
and the bankers acceptance market
was reported fairly active in spots, with
demand good and supply moderate.

NEW YORK, July 7.-Wall Street is
displaying more than ordinary interest
in the rising market for hog prices.

that the turn in this market has an
unusual barometric significance so far
as general business is concerned, 1t is
nevertheless felt in financial quarters
that the substantial price improvement
win help purchasing power in the Sec
tions where hog raising is an important

|L|P|NOS To
HONOR RIAL

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 80. up
The 36th anniversary of the death
of Joe Rizal, Filipino national
hero, was celebrated throughout
the Philippine Islands today.
Rial Day has a distinct signifi-
canoe among the Filipinos. 1t re-
calls memories of the hero's pas
sive battle for the freedom of his
country, inspiring the Filipinos in
their present movement for indie
pendence.
At 6 a. IN. 36 years ago Rizal
faced the Spanish firing squad on
the field of Bagumbayan, where
a monument to him now stands.
During his life he advocated
peaceful reforms, but the Spanish
military authorities interpreted his
moves as melting the people to
revolution. He was therefore con-
demned.
Rizal is regarded by most Fill
ipino historians as the greatest
leader the Malayan race ever pro-
duced He was physician, paint
er, social reformer, poet, writer
and linguist. He met his death
with courage, happy in the thought
that he was setting an example.

FRENCH WATCH

|. PARIS, Dec. 30. UP)-The Am
erican Chamber of Commerce in
France is bombarded daily with
questions by French wine dealers
on the situation in the United
States. and as result it is dis
closed that export concerns are
springing up with mushroom like
rapidity in anticipation Of doing
business with a wet America.
The special committee establish
ed by the chamber to study the
possibilities of exporting wine from
France to the United States now
finds it's duties plentiful. For one
thing. the experts are being very
careful about advising anonymous
exporters whose credentials have
not yet been investigated.
Nearly all the mushroom ex-
porters call themselves some kind
of Franco-American concern. Since
there are reputable houses with the
words Franco-American figuring in
their letterheads, many of the
prospective French customers are
not certain just who they are deal
ing with.

CHAMBER AIDS
DISTRICT PLAN

Ell Centro Chamber of Commerce
directors at meeting held We'd
nesday evening, voted unanimous
" to endorse the refinancing plans
of the Imperial Irrigation District,
by which new bonds will be issued
TO replace the old.
I'VE consider it the duty of the
chamber of commerce" said one
director, ito bring to the attention
of all the voters of Imperial VAL
ley the refinancipg plan so that the
issue may be understood. There is
danger that some voters may have
thought that they will be increas-
ing public Indebtedness and ex-
penditures by voting for this new
bond issue, and will assume that
they are creating new obligation.
This, of course, is not the case, and
we wish to do our part in dissem-
mating information so that the
voters may understand that by au-
thorizing this new bond issue they
are not increasing the indebted
ness of the district but are merely
postponing the maturity of the OBJ
legation. Directors who have stud
led carefully and investigated the
plan state the refinancing to be
greatly to the advantage of every
property owner in Imperial Valley"
The election at which the refin-
ancing plan will be taken up is
called for January II. Under the
proposed plan bondholders would
grant a so per cent reduction in
interest the coming year, a go per
cent reduction the next year, a 40
per cent reduction the third year
and 20 percent the fourth. Bonds
would be reissued in the form of
sinking fund bonds instead of the
present serial bonds. This would
make it possible for the district to
buy its bonds on the open market
at the then prevailing price and
would also create market for the
bondhclders' bonds and thus effect
mutual saving and stabilize values.
Bondholders, under this plan, would
exchange their present bonds when
they mature and receive the re-
funding bonds.
Robert Hays, manager of the Ell
Centro Chamber, was instructed by
the directors to assist other agen-
cies in publicizing the proposed
bond refinancing plan and also to
assist, as much as possible, in the
dissemination of information con-
cerning the plan, which the cham
Der directors declared to be highly
favorable and advantageous to the
community.

FLORIDA CUTS
RATES To GET
TOURIST FLOW

MIAMI, Fla. Dec. 80 W.P)--The
depression has not been a con-
plete misfortune for Florida. VIM
ter visitors here this season will
find the cities IN finest condition
in history, neater and seemingly
more beautiful than eve3 before.
Furthermore, tourist rates have
been reduced drasticaliy on the
theory that former hieh COSTS
would drive tourists away from tie
state and lower prices might be an
arPument for a trip to Florida on
the grounds that the cheap living
costs here would make up for coal
bills and other higher expenses IN
northern areas.
Rents have been cut so pei cent
in some cases. food prices are low
er than in most parts CT the United
States because many foods grown
in Florida can pc dsliveccd at The
door without RAILROAD or truck
freight rates, and recreational fea-
lures have been improved without
additional cost to tourists.
New pingpong ard shuifieboaro
courts are ready for the first part
of January Beaches have been
cleaned of debris by guards.
5 Tourists families will find Flor
ida schools operating under higher
standards than c2er Before. Teach
ers throughout the state mostly
have been paid UP TO date, though
prospects for 1888 payrolls are not
quite so good.
The old shaciis which rose our
ing the boom" have disappeared.
more rapidly since the depression.
Some cities IN southern FLORIDA
as we'll as others in the northern
part of the state are selling r1uni-
c.pal bonds at less than 25 cents
OH the dollar, property owners
trading them against taxes, pro-
yiding stated percentage of taxes
is paid in cash. In this manner,
cities are keeping ou. of the hands
of unsympathc.ic bondholders
committees.
In many instances taxes have
been reduced.
