Reich Big Copper Buyer
On Foreign Markets
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19-Germany
was a substantial buyer of copper in
foreign markets this week.
The German demand was de-
scribed by observers as emergency in
nature since blister stocks of the
red metal were insisted upon. This
metal could be shipped within 10
days and then further processed in
German refineries. Spot and nearby
electrolytic copper, it was pointed
out, was difficult to obtain.
Export copper rose to around 1885
cents pound after selling as low
as 1880.
New buying of copper in domestic
markets remained slack. Producers
and smelters were not particularly
worried, however, in view Of the rec
ord amounts moved in July.
Producers and smelters continued
to quote 1912 cents. In the out
side market, metal moved up to
1926 cents from an early low OF
102212 cents.

for half blood combings and 1898
cents for three-eighths blood, and

Capital Retailers Face Busy Autumn
As Pay Rolls Hold at High Levels
New Utility Records
Also Indicate Good
Season Ahead
By DONALD B. HADLEY.

While department store sales In
July proved somewhat disappointing,
Washington pay rolls continue to
hold at record levels and indicate a
busy autumn for merchants here.
The prediction receives further
support from new utility records in
July and the trend in postal receipts,
railway express shipments, bank
clearings and deposits, building con-
struction, auto sales, gasoline con-
sumption and many other indicators
Travel lured more Washingtonians
than usual from their homes this
summer, and many dollars that Or
dinarily would have jingled in the
cash registers Of F street were scat
tered along the way to New York or
San Francisco. However, vacations
do not last long, and spending is
expected to renew its forward march
here in the next few weeks.
Although July department store
sales were only per cent ahead of a
year ago and were behind the same
1886 and 1887 months, they were pre-
ceded by ll-time peaks in both May
and June. The seven-month total
was Al per cent above 1888 levels
and also was the highest on record
for that period.
Government Pay Roll Jumps.
With 149 1895 persons employed, the
Federal and District Governments
here distributed pay roll estimated
at $26,130,307 in June. Added to a
private pay roll which has been ap-
proximating SIT 100000 a month for
$4,000 persons, the grand total is
around $43,630,307 for 30l 1876 per-
sons during the month. More exact
estimates must await the June re-
port from the District of Columbia
Unemployment Compensation Board.
