conscious housewife probably will

might happen between the time the
bird leaves home forever and lands

Storm damage doesn't mean there
won't be enough white meat to go

Add to this around 20,000000

Copper Import Plan
Siirs Interest in
Metal Market
Shipments Expected
To Be Mode Without
Disturbing Prices
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16-The prob
lem of supplying the copper in
dustry with sufficient metal to fill
sharply expanded domestic and
foreign needs occupied the attention
of the market this week.
Upshot Of a recent conference be-
tween leaders in the industry and
representatives of the Defense Com
mission, according to talk in the
trade, was the revelation that
estimated 1941 requirements of
1900 900 tons would have to come in
part from foreign mines. Chile,
Peru and Mexico were mentioned as
sources for a deficiency figured at
from $4,000 to 100000 tons.
1t was the opinion of most
dealers such copper would be i'm
ported on month to month basis
and in such manner the domestic
price structure would be undis-
turbed.
Buying Slackens.
Buying pressure slackened con-
siderably after the tremendous turn
over earlier this fall but leading
producers continued to allocate
metal at the unchanged price of u
cents a pound. Many important
sellers said copper was unavailable
for delivery before March.
In the resale market 1910 delivery
copper was priced around 1919 cents.
Export. business was consummated
at 10 cents a pound and at the
week end a range Of 10-11 cents pre-
vailed. Japanese buyers continued
to seek moderate tonnages. Metal
men said the United States had
priority over Nipponese customers
for Chilean copper.
Lead Sales Heavy.
Turnover in lead was large
enough to force important interests
to allocate tonnages to keep the
market orderly. The price held
firm at 5.80-5.85 cents a pound.
A tight supply situation con-
tinued in the zinc trade but the
quotation remained at 7.25 cents
East st. Louis.
Demand for steel streamed in with
increasing force. Much of the buy
ing, it was believed, represented
protection against the possibility
supplies might be limited later be-
cause of national defense needs.

The wheat rally was prompted in
part by the belief of trade experts
that continued movement of grain
into storage, despite the fact that
prices are above loan rates, indicated
the attitude of producers toward fu-
ture price trends
The rate of storing exceeded l.

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-Cotton fu-

Unwillingness of mills, recently

main reason for the setback.
Hedge selling also increased and
profit taking and liquidation, in

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-A losing
week for the stock market-the first
in five-Was concluded today with
Steels, motors. aircrafts and wide
assortment of industrials posting
closing losses of fractions to 3
points.
Prices softened from the start and
lows for the brief session were regis
tered in the final hour Extreme
declines were reduced a trif1e at
the finish.
Brokers attributed today's re-
action mainly to the revival of
nervousness over foreign affairs,
many traders tightening accounts
for the week -end recess because of
the intensification of air raids over
England end fears the axis powers
we're planning more severe blows at
the British. Business news still
was on the bullish side, but failed as
a strong buying spur.
Average Of Slightly.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was off 3 of a point at IS 4
and on the week was down IL
points, the biggest weekly recession
since mid-September During the
five-day stretch the composite never
produced a plus sign.
A family encouraging factor in
the days proceedings was the slack
ening of volume on the retreat. The
turnover of 488640 shares COM
pared with 1,099 200 last Saturday
and was the first dip under the
million-share mark in 10 consecu-
tive sessions.
Favorable straWs in the days deal
ings were forecasts Of another record
peak in next weeks mill operations,
exceptional high sales and produc-
ton in the motor industry. heavy de-
mand for copper, huge backlogs for
the aircraft makers, substantial i'm
provement in department store sales
over last year and indications de-
fense spending would be stepped up
to huge proportions.
Decline Three Points.
Allied Chemical and Douglas Air
craft dropped 3 points each. Lesser
losers were United States Steel
Bethlehem. Chrysler. General Mo-
tors. J. I. Case. Westinghouse, STAN
dard Oil of New Jersey, Anaconda,
Kennecott. American Smelling
Sears Roebuck. United States Rub
Der and American Can.
Rails and utilities held declines to
negligible amounts. Among the few
issues that retained modest gains
were Union Carbide. American Tele-
phone and Du Pont.
On the offside in the curb as much
as a point or so were Aluminium of
America, Jones e. Laughlin, Electric
Bond & Share, Brewster Aero and
American Gas. Trades here were
around $4,000 shares, versus Isl 900
week ago.
Traders in stocks came back from
the Armistice holiday and. despite
the brightness of the industrial pic
ture. began to cash profits on the
lengthy upSWing This realizing

prices down on average every day
except Thursday, when they were
unchanged
The list steadied occasionally as
inf1ationary implications still were
seen in the move to boost the ma
tional debt limit and earnings state
ments and extra dividends stressed
recovery strides. The Hitler-Molo-
toff conferences at Berlin, raised
doubts as to. the next European war
move, however, and the losing drift
