COPPER AND LEAD
PRICES ADVANCED
Almost Perpendicular Rise
on London Market Is
Major Influence.
N the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 26.-Non-
ferrous metal trade last week watched
copper and lead compete in q DEM
anstration of strength.
With London setting the tempo. cop
per advanced to the tune Of 6212 points
and lead 40 points.
Spot lead in New York was quoted
500 to sos cents pound. or within
one-uuarter cent of the record high
of 1880. Domestic copper at llS
cents a pound was likewise the high
est seen since 1890. Electrolytic cop
per for export maintained premium
OF "A cent or better over the domestic
base, touching top of l1.7s c. l. t.
the usual European base ports.
The advance In copper and lead was
necessitated by an almost perpen-
dicular rise at London, where ag-
eressive speculative demand was sup
plemented by continued buying for
armament purposes. Domestic lead
consumers have for some months past
manifested an almost Unsuitable ap-
petite, and in order to prevent the
draining of domestic supplies into
export channels domestic producers
were compelled to seek parity with
London. Larger supplies were offered
at the advance prices, with producers
again dipping into reserve stocks.
Copper's rise was made more i'm
pressive in view Of the fact it was
accomplished in face of increasing
production abroad. Successive in
creases made by the cartel have car
ried the output to los per cent OF
rated capacity, and some trade au-
thorities estimate the present foreign
production rate Is probably 10000
tons monthly above consumption de-
nand.
Smelter producers questioned the
ooundness of the rapid rise in other
metals and applied the brakes to zinc
by Offering larger supplies. Buyers
consequently we're reassured and
placed commitments for only mod.
crate quantities.

comparatively dull market. with a

SLOW DOWN AT NIGHT

Here is some worthwhile advice to
motorists: AS soon as darkness descends,
slow down prOntoi
In spite of the fact that the bulk of
cars are operated almost entirely during
the day, we'll over half of all the fatal &C
cidents last year occurred at night. Sixty
nine per cent of the victims were pedes-
trians. And the death rate for the evening
rush hours was over 100 per cent greater
in winter than in summer, due to dark
ness
UncOnsciously or otherwise, many
motorists chemically "overdrive their
headlights" is, they could not bring
their cars to a stop within the illuminated
distance before them. And more power
full lights are no cure for this-they pro-
duce glare, a potent cause of head-on car
crashes, and are justly illegal in most
states
The pedestrian, of course, is not
wholly free from blame. 1t has been ex-
tensively publicized that one should al
ways walk on the left side of the highway,
facing Oncoming traffic-but great many
night-walkers apparently haven't heard
the news yet. And many of them also
don't seem to realize that to walk on
dark highway wearing dark clothes is an
invitation to the coroner. Light refraction
is an eccentric thing and darkly-
dressed pedestrian often can't be seen by
the motorist until it is too late.
Thus we need education for the
pedestrian as well as for the auto driver.
But in the meantime, the driver should
take every precaution-and even go to
what may seem ridiculous lengths-to
operate his car safely After all, he is in
command Of potentially lethal vehicle
that literally kills more men than does
war Don't take a chance!

comes, then. of the contention that
reduction of the cost of manufacture
does not mean more goods consumed?
Is impossible that some uniformed
ghost writer is responsible for the
first pronouncement and that the
President in paying tribute to the
manufacturers of automobiles was
making a strategic retreat from an
unsound position?
Whether or not this be the case, the
reference to the policies Of automo-
bile manufacturers is pertinent The
automobile industry is an excellent
illustration Of the fact that the best
way to increase sales Is to improve
the quality of the product and to re-
duce its price. The manufacturers
have introduced new machinery. inn
proved their techniques. and de-
vised many ways of increasing labor
efficiency. Though the immediate eff
feet of the introduction OF the i'm
proved methods may in individual
cases have been the displacement of
some laborers, the net effect has been
a great increase in the demand for
automobiles and a great increase in
the number of men employed in
their manufacture, not to mention
the men employed in the production
of the materials that are required in
the manufacture of automobiles.
How restricted the automobile market
would now be had the manufacturers
acted on the principle mat the way to
stimulate sales is to increase pro-
duction costs! And how greatly re-
duced would be the demand for men
to make automobiles. steel. rubber.
plate glass. lumber. leather. copper.
cotton. gasoline. oil. etcl
The industries that are run on the
principle of reducing the cost of pro-
duction and prices are in fact. the
ones that have made the greatest bust
ness recovery and that show the
least unemployment. and the indus
tries that are hampered by high costs
and high price policy are the most
depressed.

mind that evolved the nefarious scheme
and some lingering was done. That's a

thought of such chicanery. But getting
away with it is another matter. We hope
