RUMORS OF BOOST
SPUR COPPER SALES
Trade Stimulated by Reports
That Price Advance to 91h
Cents Is Likely Soon.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 11.-Demand
for copper was stimulated this week
as rumors circulated in the trade that
an advance from 9A to 91a cents for
electrolytic was imminent.
An additional custom smelter Joined
other sellers who have held at 91s
cents for some time, leaving very few
sellers at the inside price.
Consumers had previously made
extensive forward commitments, but
the outlook for improved consumption,
specially in the automobile and elec-
trical industries, was regarded favor
ably.
Foreign copper firmed on reports
that international producers had
formally agreed to continue produc-
tion regulation to July l, 1888.
Tin was easier with losses of about
81 cent reported for the week in
sympathy with declines in the Far
East and at London.
Lead held steady and unchanged.
Zinc remained dull. Antimony also
was dull with buying limited to small
lots.

Domestic Consumption of Lard
Is Highest Since Late 1884

through March domestic consumption
totaled 34o,000,000. according to this
estimate, compared with 100000
for the corresponding 1934-5 period.
Hope for an early revival Of the i'm
portant foreign business in lard has
been dimned by the record Of ex-
portation so far this year. Instead
of an expected increase in shipments
overseas, the volume of business had
declined.
According to the latest Government
reports, foreign nations are taking
considerably less pork and lard than
they did in 1885 and 1884 and, with
the exception of Germany, all nations
are buying less pork. Aggregate lard
exports from January / to March z
were placed at 17,046,000 pounds,
against 36,276,00o q year ago. Ger

DETROIT, April 1.-THE motor
car industry is getting back into the
stride that last year required the
greatest output volume in a five-year
period.
Assembly line activity, which prom
ises to increase steadily during the
next few weeks, indicates the industry
will have little difficulty accounting
for the production of upward of A.
100000 cars and trucks during the
current year.
AS the assembling and distribution
Of motor cars gets well into the sec
ond quarter of the year an impression
gains weight that the 100000 unit
output estimate is conservative one.
One leading producer has predicted
100000 cars and trucks will be built
in 1896, basing his estimate appar-
emily on the thought that heavy
volume of replacement business can
be expected.
