OUTPUT Of ZINC
RISES IN WEEK

Prices for zinc concentrates
remained at $25 to $26 a ton for
week ended June %. This price
has. prevailed for the last four
weeks. Output for the week was
7,746 tons or 300 tons more than
the week preceding. Shipments
amounted to 6,368 tons compared
with 6,431 tons last week. Pur-
chases were $3.50 tons compared
with 1910 tons the previous week.
There were 40 mills running, one
less than a week ago.
A general agreement has been
made between all failing mill
and mine operators to shut down
every producer in the field for
80 days, commencing June %.
Heretofore such agreements have
not been generally observed eX-
cept by major operators, but it
is now claimed even the small
cooperatives have signed the
agreement. The intention of the
mine owners is to force the price
of zinc concentrates back to $50
a ton. if possible.
With the strikes in the smelt-
ing plants at Danville and La
Sale, ILL.,. settled, the companies
owning these smelters are again
in the Joplin market for ore and
their takings will average about
1000 tons weekly. This does not
take care of the overproduction.
Of the 7,746 tons of zinc con-
centrateS produced last week only
1000 tons were offered, as Eagle
Pitcher Mining & Smelling Com
pany, owner of a large central
mill, is taking the remainder and
paying $50 a ton. as in previous
weeks. The reason for this is
due to the fact Eagle Picher
owns an interest in more produc.
ton than any other mining COM
pany in the field and is there
fore trying to hold up prices.

EXPERTSSTUDY.
MARGINS

Intensive study Of stock market
operations and of regulations to be
adopted relating to marginal re.
quirements for loans made for car.
rying securities is being made by
experts of the Federal Reserve
Board, Gov. Eugene Black an
nounced yesterday.
Following a two-day meeting of
chairmen and governors of Fed.
eral Reserve banks with the board,
which ended yesterday, Black said
there was also a full discussion of
credit conditions throughout the
country.
Special consideration, he said,
was given to the new powers
granted to the Federal Reserve
System by the securities exchange

Federal Reserve act authorizing
Reserve banks to make direct
loans to industry.
The reserve banks reported they
are now ready to receive applica-
lions for working capital loans

j. s. ACQUIRES
HEL|UM RIGHTS

The acquisition of all gas rights
in $4,000 acres comprising the
Cliftside helium-bearing gas field
near Amarillo, Texas, has been
completed by the Bureau OF
Mines.
This field supplies the raw ma
terial from which all helium used
by the military services of the
nation is extracted. In addition
to supplying current require.
ments, the field provides a large
reserve for future lighter-than-air
craft operations by the Army and
Navy.
The bureau made a thorough
study of the field and, consider,
ing all factors, determined that
this field was the best reserve of
helium-bearing gas then known,
No comparable field has been dis.
covered.
Production of helium at the
Amarillo plant was started in
April, 1929. In five years OF
operation, the plant has produced
more than 100000 cubic feet OF
helium or about one-half of all
that element so far recovered.

v isssso T ;s:::: N. Y. Curb Quotations

NEW YORK, June 27.-Stocks
on the curb exchange continued
yesterdays rally today in SYM
pathy with the better feeling pre-
vailing in speculative quarters.
Gains we're generally small,
however, and trading turned dull
after a furry of buying in the
early dealings.
A few specialties scored wide
gains. Prominent among these
was Montgomery Ward A, which
spurted 2 points in a thin market.
The improvement in power sta
tistics this week helped the utility
shares. American Gas & Electric
was the pace maker, rising nearly
q point. The Electric Bond and
Share issues were fractionally
better, while Cities Service was
steady.
Oils were harder after their
sluggish performance of the last
week. International Petroleum was
stronger, with Imperial Oil i'm
proving in sympathy. HURDLE,
Gulf and Standard Of Indiana
were steady.
The mining list worked higher
in moderately active dealings in
sympathy with the strength in
this group on the big board. Low
priced issues were in demand,
while Lake Shore was firm.
Packing stocks were quiet and
steady, while the chemicals were
better. Little of Importance de-
veloped in the liquor shares.

cotton PRICES
TURN NARROW

NEW YORK, June q G.N.S0.
Cotton futures backed and filled
in a narrow range today as trad
ing Slackened to a snail's pace,
with the run of contracts get
ting slightly above the previous
close after opening lower.
The apathetic tone of the mar
ket was due to the dearth of news
in the cotton trade and the gen.
eral dizziness in speculative circles.
Small orders on either side of the
list were sufficient to swing
prices.
Foreign and domestice trade in
terests were in the ring for fair
quantities of cotton during the
forenoon, but aggregate volume
fell short of yesterdays totals.
Local traders and commission
houses bought sparingly. New
Orleans and spot firms we're sell
erS in the early trading.
Around midday futures were l
point lower to 3 points higher,
with July off l at 1920, October
up 2 at 1916, and December up
3 at 1889.

D PER CENT DIP
IN STEEL RATE
REPORTED

I'LL OulEO
NEW YORK, June 81 0N.SJ
larp curtailment in steel pro
lction, which had been widely
edicted in the trade following
neral price advances in April
I'd May, has materialized &C
riding to expectations, Iron Age
ated today.
While a 20 per cent decline in
ltput, or from so to 48 per cent
capacity, in a single week was
ther drastic, it is explained by
lie fact that raw steel produc-
On has recently been main.
lined at an artificially high rate

ed needs of finishing mills
hich must complete shipments
yainst second quarter contracts
lis week in order to comply with

Current ingot production is par.
cularly hard to gauge as fur
ices are being taken off daily
nd some companies began the
eek with a rate of output fully
} per cent higher than that at
hich they will finish the period.
eclines have been general
lroughout the country, the only
Lceptions being at Birmingham
nd Detroit where production is
nchanged.
Few Accommodations
Most of the steel being rolled
his week was produced in the
Lst fortnight, as it was neces-
my for producers to risk no in
eruption in their rolling SEIZED
les because of a lack of the
roper form and analysis of raw
Eeel. While the threat Of a
trike earlier in the month may
ave prompted the accumulation
{ slightly larger semi-finished
teel inventories than probable
olling mill requirements seemed
D warrant, this factor seems to
ave been somewhat overempha-
lied.
That curtailment will continue
ext week is a foregone conclu-
ion. A check will be offered by
he necessity for building up raw
teel inventories which have been
epleted by heavy June ship
aents, but steel companies will
hen regulate production to the
ate Of consumptive demand. The
xtend of such demand is the
Principal question confronting the
industry today.
Awards Are Small
Structural steel awards during
he last week amounted to only
l,700 tons, compared with $4,000
ons in the preceding week. New
projects, calling for 26,75O tons of
structural steel, were much more
encouraging. In New York pier
Iheds on the North River will take
}, 100 tons. Governmentrfinanced
bridges and viaducts in the Chi
;ago area are rather large, the
outstanding prospective job being
/ toll structure across the Missis-
ippi at Bettendorf, Iowa, which
will require $500 tons of shapes.
Considerable Federal dam work
S also in the offing.
Recent price changes have been
negligible. Bars and semi-finished
teel at Duluth will be reduced 81
/ ton on June 80 and a Cleveland
maker of cold,finished bars has
lied a price 81 under recent levels,
effective July /. This figure may
lot be met by other sellers. The
ron Age composite prices for pig

FRANKNESS-AN ASSET AND A LIABILITY

It is one of the unusual turns of baseball fortune that finds the Rajah admittedly one of the most successful and forceful leaders in the game, out of the National League and in charge of the 1883 American League cellar club.
 Frankness of a sometimes brutal variety has been both liability as well as an asset to the hard hit ting Texan. He has no more hes itated to tell a club-owner what he thinks than to give 3 rookie the plain facts Athletes and all newspaper men admire the Rajah for qualities that undoubtedly have cost him a couple of lucra- tive jobs.
 Hornsby has been up in the $40,000 salary bracket and he has known what it means to struggle for a job at less than a fourth of that sum. He has a two-year contract now with the Browns and perhaps the best chance of his career to show his managerial gifts. If he gets half a chance, he will produce.

 SLANTS | A ALAN GOULD A

There's something about the great hitters of baseball that you can't miss, whether it's Cobb, a Ruth, a Sisler, Foxx or a Horns by. They have distinctive meth ods and style, of course, but there's something beyond that to fascinate the onlooker, an impulse of admiration and interest in them that exists long after they have passed their prime.
 Ruth, on the downgrade, still is the highest paid player in baseball. Foxx has already moved up to oc- cupy the home run throne and has acquired big following. Hornsby is a manager in the Amer ican League, his playing days largely behind him after some 18 years of activity, but the Rajah is the most commanding figure in the camp of the St. Louis Browns at West Palm Beach. This is not due entirely to the Browns lack of individuality but because Hornsby can still hit the ball for tremen- dous distances with fascinating ease and grace.

CIT ONLY TAKES ONE"

Like a great many other long, range batsmen, Hornsby rose ur quickly to hitting fame with the postwar advent of the lively ball in 1920.
 Then with the St. Louis Car dinals, the Rajah jumped his aver age 52 points that year to .37O and led the National League for the first time The same season marked an output of 54 home runs by Babe Ruth, nearly doubling the previous record.
 For 19 straight years Hornsby was only once below .360 He av- eraged better than 400 for five consecutive seasons, 1921-25 inclus- i've, and set the modern mark of .424 in 1924.
 No wonder now that all the Brownies and prospective Brownies are lending an attentive ear to any suggestion Hornsby makes about their hitting or copying the Rajah's loose, easy swing at the plate.
 He has them all with their bats off their shoulders, ready to step quickly into the pitch. One oi Hornsby's batting axioms is: "It only takes one to produce base hit. Don't worry about the count. T His own theory has always been that confidence is fully half the battle in swinging against any kind of pitching.
 Let the pitcher do the worry ing" he advises.
