Copper in Outside Market
Commands Premium
By the Associated Press,


NEW YORK, Nov. 4.-Copper in
the outside market commanded
price premium over producer and
refiner quotations throughout the
week.
Despite comparatively slow de-
mand. metal for spot and nearby
delivery was difficult to secure and
l3 cents a pound was quoted in the
secondary market This compared
with the reflner basis of 1912 cents.
Export copper also held above the
domestic level, although sales at the
price of 13 cents were rather slow.
Metal dealers explained the higher
export price as due to the policy OF
leading interests of restricting sales
to regular customers.
Waiting lists in the lead market
were trimmed again. Important
producers indicated sales on the
average were about equal to daily
production quotas. Price held firm
at 5.50-555 cents a pound Zinc
moved quietly at $50 cents East st.

Demand for steel for export ac-
count was termed impressive. par
ticularly buying by neutral" ma
tions. Considerable domestic busi-
ness was placed for delivery next
year at the price prevailing at the
time of shipment.

The decline in District registra-

with the continued steady climb of
registrations in adjoining sections

NEW YORK, Nov. 4-The oil
industry gained some honors as a
training ground for all-round execu-
tives with the announcement this
week of the election of Edward l..
Shea as president of the billion
dollar North American Co.
From his record it would appear
that the 47-year-old former oil
executive came up the hard way,
although not strictly in line with
the conventional pattern.
On Tuesday Shea terminated a
23-year career in oil by retiring as
executive vice president of the 5000
0O0, 900 Tide Water Associated Oh
Co.
d. C. in System.
On the following day he was
named president of the Nations
second largest public utility holding
company, having direct control of
score or more of electric power
and transportation companies serv-
ing important urban and rural areas
in Missouri. Wisconsin, Illinois,
Iowa, Ohio. Kansas and the District
Of Columbia.
In manner, Shea leans to the
amiable side without particular ef-
fort. He smiles easily and his voice
has quality which helps to ex-
plain his success.
Smooth-shaven, he looks younger
than his years, and his build sug-
gests he was well equipped for the
football and baseball he played at
Princeton.
In his first interview in the presi-
dents office of the North American
Co., Shea had at his side James F..
Fogarty, who relinquished the pres
idency to become chairman of the
newly formed Executive and Finance
Committee.
Shea was willing to talk about his
days in the oil game, but side
stepped requests for his views on
the public utility situation.
You get pretty intensive train
ing in the oil industry-the kind of
training that ought to make you
adaptable if you go into another
line" he said II will have to feel
my way here for a time, but eventu-
ally I expect to know the ropes"
Fogarty Praises Ability.
Fogarty interjected with a remark
praising Shea's executive capacity,
adding: Il think I had something
to do with persuading him to come
over to us. And he is no stranger
to this company, since he has been
a director and a member of the
Executive Committee for nearly a
year"
Shea's career has some touches
of business romance because he
started in overalls as a refinery
worker wrestling with oil drums.
He made this bottom -rung start
at the Tide Water Oil Refinery at
Bayonne, N. j., in 1916. shortly after
his graduation from Princeton.
After the muscle testing refinery
job, he Joined the Tide Water sales
organization in New York and
"peddled gasoline and lubricating
oils all the way from the Battery
to Fifty-ninth street."
Later he went to the company's

fields in Mexico to direct produc-
ton and transportation. He was
moving up fast then, for soon after
he was put in charge of crude oil
purchases, then elevated to the
vice presidency in charge of manu-
featuring. The next promotion was
to the executive vice presidency and
then to the presidency of Tide
Water.
With the merger of the Tide
Water and associated oil companies,
Shea was made executive vice presi-
dent Of the new concern known as
