Domestic Copper SIumps
To Il So Cent Level
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, Jan. 29.-Domestic
copper was pounded down to 11%
cents pound last week, the lowest
price since big guns started to roar
over Europe
The lower price was posted by a
leading smelling interest, while pro-
ducers continued to quote II cents.
Sellers of the red metal, dealers
said, were forced by slow new de-
mand to ignore such factors as
favorable statistics for the final five
month of 1889, and the belief ship
ments this month against old orders
were keeping up with the high rate
in December.
Export prices also developed a
downward slant. Copper for imme-
diate shipment was priced at 11.55-
11.60 cents pound F. A. S.
Lead and zinc were stricken with
the same blight on demand that
affected copper Lead held steady
at 5.50-5.55 cents pound and zinc

AUBURNDALE, Mass, Jan. %
Commodity prices declined for the
second consecutive week during the
last full week ended in January.
The index of all commodities COM
piled by the McGill Commodity
Service dropped to 72.4, as against
1913 a week earlier and 1875 on jan
uary 5, 1910.
The decline was confined prl-

Agricultural products advanced,
even though livestock was lower. OF
the IA commodity groups comprising
this index, 8 were lower, 4 unchanged
and only 2 higher, as compared with
the previous week.
The decline in the industrial
group was attributable to lower
prices for hides and leather, nom
ferrous metals, paint materials, fine
and coarse textiles and vegetable
oils. In this group only ferrus
metals were higher than week ago.

NEW YORK, Jan 29.-The Ma.
tons steel mills this week will re.
duce operations to 77.3 per cent Of
capacity, the lowest since Septem-
ber II last, the American Iron &
Steel Institute announced today.
Last week mills operated at 82.2
per cent of capacity, a month ago
at 85.7 per cent and a year ago at
52.8 per cent.
Steel circles said the reduction
was a continuation of slowing of
operations brought about by the
fact production in recent weeks had
been outstripping new orders.
The high for 1939-40, at 94.4 per
cent, was reached November q last.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 20 (P.-Further
decline in new orders has reduced
the Nations steel production to Bis
per cent of capacity, says the maga-
zine Steel.
Ingot output was off points last
week, with further curtailment in
dicated in some districts"
THE present situation is the direct
opposite of that prevailing last quar-
ter, when buying was we'll in excess
of consumption and shipments" the
publication adds.
Finished steel deliveries and
operations of Woodworking plants
are making much more favorable
showing than is indiacted by mill
bookings, but appearance of heavier
orders awaits absorption of a larger
share of tonnage on hand to be held
closely to early needs"
How soon steel users will be re-
quired to become more active buyers
remains problematical," the maga-
zine observes. although there are
expectations that backlog reductions
will be accompanied by at least a
moderate upturn in purchases with
in another 30 days
Producers report inquiries from

ments which are counted on to be
