Buying Rush in Copper
Market Djminishes
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Domestic
copper consumers this week con-
tinued efforts to guard against
shortages when filling new orders
The "feverish" stage Of the buying
rush of recent weeks appeared to
have passed, however. Buyers who
early in the week offered a prompt
delivery premium Of 1ls cents a
pound over the 12-cent producer
price shaded their offers more than
u cent to 1914 cents.
Premium prices were asked and
obtained in the outside and custom
smelter markets. This development
trade circles heard. was discussed
at a conference last week between
smelling interests and Leon Hender-
son. national defense commissioner
The Federal administration was
pleased, observers said, with the
stability Of the producer price over
the last 4 weeks in the face Of I'M
precedented demand.
At the same time it was learned
metal interests were studying the
possibility of importing South
American copper to lessen the strain
which more vigorous demand might
put on the domestic industry.
Several methods were suggested
for importing the metal, now hin
dered by Accent pound excise
tax, purchase by Government
agency as a war reserve: reduction
of the tax by presidential order,
or providing for a variable tax as
the domestic price declined or ad-
vanced.

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-Cotton

textile trading this week.
Carrying forward the gains Of
the last month, cotton cloth sellers
again wrote contracts involving
larger yardages than the mills
turned out during the week.
Price advances in woolens appeared
to have been well digested by the
trade, and many large buyers
showed willingness to fulfill all re-
quirements at the new levels rang
ing up to 271a cents a yard above
spring openings.
Many mills, however, have with
drawn their goods, not alone for
repricing purposes, but also because
they are as much as a month be-
hind on delivery of civilian orders.
The pinch was felt particularly
in worsted numbers and there was

Following a furry OF attention
early in the week in novelty items,

spread out to include all popular

and full asking prices were paid in
all instances. A steady influx of

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-The gen.
eral level of industrial materials
and food prices rose this week to
the highest since December, 1887,
the Associated Press index disclosed
today.
The index, based on 1925 as 100
and comprising IS staples in whole
sale cash markets, advanced to 75.45
from 7493 last week, A year ago
it was 1884.
Industrial and ferrous metals
components reached new highs for
the year as the index scored the
10th consecutive weekly advance.
Observers regarded the price rise
as mild in contrast with the rapid
expansion in industrial activity.
The effect on food prices of a
larger national income growing out
Of more jobs was reflected in an in
crease in cattle prices to a three
year high. Lamb was also marked
up, along with eggs, sugar, coffee,
flour and butter.
Hides, recently among one of the
fastest forward moving commod-
tiles, continued to gain as tanners
eyed the prospect of big Army and
civilian orders. Rubber showed a
like trend.
Sharply higher was wool, also
under the influence of defense
needs. Cotton increased in price
as holders counted on broader
demand.
A boost in antimony, important
alloy, high lighted the metal group.
Moving against the trend into
lower ground were lard and hogs,

confined in a ToWson lMd) hos

a hearing to inquire into the mental
health of the former Washington

"Au parties agree that Mr.. Nc
Lean Is insane and entirely in
capable of handling the affairs of
his estate" wrote Justice Laws in
a memorandum opinion. "The tes-
timony before me showed the party
interviewed clearly was Edward B.
Mclean, the respondent, in these
proceedings. His persistent denial
of his identity was testified to be
one of the phases of his alleged
mental alteration.
However, in this case, all parties
who appeared as witnesses before
me have testified that not once
has the respondent sought the right
to resist the pending proceedings,
although on at least two occasions
he has been definitely informed
with regard to them and has been
formally called upon to answer. For
Mr.. Mclean to appear, as he has
suggested he is willing to do, simply
to say that he is not Edward B.
Mclean and for no other purpose,
would Seem to add nothing to these
proceedings. Under the circum-
stances I believe it is unnecessary
in order to protect the rights of
respondent to require steps to COM
pei his production"
