Russian grain crops appear to be the

COMMITTEE TO RUSH
COPPER CODE EFFORTS
by the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, November 4.-Members
OF a committee Of copper producers ap-
rolntei. to study further the conflicting
views within the industry that has PIE

Hobhns Of the Anaconda Copper MIN

&C., were appointed as committee to
unoertake to draft code which will
reconcile the various factions within the
industry.
Further conferences between pro-
ducers and custom smelters will prob

and continue until something definite
has been accomplished, it was said
today.
Evening star., 1933-11-05

major portion OF 1t was con-
fident that the opening today would be
characterized by an extension of the
rise and broadening out of activity.
Such expectations, however, were tenn
pered in a large degree by the over
night news out of Washington. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's expression of belief that
lnouStry is not yet ready to undertake
greater measure of self-control natur-
ally carried the impression that early
modification of National Recovery Ad-
minlstration activities is not in sight
And moreover the street was consider
ably up in the air" as regards the
price-fxing proposals made by the
group Of Western Governors now in
Washington.
Among those who are confident that
the market is in the early stages of
what promises to be a long pull phase
of advance. it is conceded that the
strongest argument in favor of higher
price levels is the action of the list it
self. Such circles admit the absence
of anything in the way of outside news
which might be expected to serve as a
stimulus to constructive operations. But
apparently the feeling is that despite
cumulative restrictions which have
taken away some of its free and open
qualities in the last few years, the mar
ket still undertakes to anticipate de-
velopments some months ahead.
Indications of some degree of nervous
ness in the ranks of the short account
came to light as the morning progressed.
Gradual change in the character Of the
market since the middle of the week has
tended to render that class of trader
somewhat less sure of his position.
Again this morning such scattered Of
ferings as came into the popular trad
ing mediums are absorbed without diff
