NEW POSTAL REGULATIONS FOR BELLIGERENTS

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29 - A new postal regulation seeking to reduce friction over mail going to belligerent countries was re- leased in the postal bulletin for the information of postmasters. The regulation was issued under the neutrality law.
 It provides that any person sending an item of material val ue in the mails addressed to bel ligerent countries must make an affidavit swearing the title to the article had been changed to the person to whom it is addressed.
 The regulation brought the pos tai mailing of all articles for belligerent countries into line with the neutrality practice gov erning non-postal shipments.
 Mails addressed to belligerent countries in Europe are lined at neutral ports and sent overland to their destination.

Highway g Route To Alaska Is Selected
WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Rep. Warren G MagnusOn announced

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31-Rep. Warren G MagnusOn announced that the International highway Commission of which he is chair man. had recommended to the British Columbia commission the selection of the route from Prince George to the Atlin Lake section to Alaska.
 He said this route is known as the middle route and will tap Interior Alaska and the Panhan- dle and is preferable to the east ern route going farther north through Dawson.
 Ahis action was taken, Magnu- son said at joint meeting of the two commissions at Ottawa last week. He said the Canadian com mission had no preference on ei ther of the three routes propos ed and agreed to submit to it's government the recommendation of the American commission.
 The chairman said the coast route was discarded because of bad snow conditions.
 Magnuson said reports will be made to Congress and the next step for this government is to notify Canada it is ready to pro- ceed and work out financial de- tails.
 If the highway is approved he said the road would cost approxi mately 25,0OO,0O0.

proximately 10 per cent ahead of
April last year Rayon yarn mills

said.

Clearings this week were $685.
$4,000 less than the total for the

holiday last year, the decline be-
tween the two similar weeks of 1889
amounted to $674,840,OO0.
The turnover at New York

British Orders Spur
Domestic Buying
On Copper Market
London Is Reported
Seeking $4,000 Tons
For Quick Delivery

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, May 31-Reports
the British government was in the
local copper market for around
$4,000 tons for immediate delivery
unleashed a flood of orders from
domestic buyers, trade sources re-
vealed today.
Britain has ordered about 10000
tons of copper at a shade above
liz cents pound.
Additional tonnages at least equal
to that amount and probably run
ming to another $4,000 tons were
expected to be ordered soon, it was
said.
The metal was bought in the local
market, trade experts said. probably
because of diversion of shipping
facilities by English authorities.
African producers have supplied
most of the Allied natic..s' war
needs.
Domestic consumers business was
done at liz cents after they learned
of the British order.
The concerted demand from do
mestic and overseas buyers practi-
ca!ly cleaned out the outside, or re-
sale, market, dealers reported.
Traders said no one producer of
copper was in position to handle
the huge British order and it prob
ably would be divided among three
or four major interests.
Independent consumers were
goaded into action, they added, by
the possibility of Allied orders would
sweep the market of prompt ship
ment metal at a time when our
own national defense needs were
likely to make new demands.
The British orders were in addi-
ton to 75,000-ton purchase by the
French earlier this week. Metal
for the French, however, will be sup
piled by American-owned foreign
mines.
The British also were believed to
have taken nearly all Immediately
available supplies of brass in the
local market in the last few weeks.
