Subsidies Seen
Ahead for Both
Zinc, Copper
Defense Chiefs Seek
To Boost Output Of
Hiqh-Cost Mines
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Sept 20-Trade cir
cles said today subsidies for both
copper and zinc appeared closer as
defense authorities tried TO boost
production of these acutely scarce
strategic metals from high-cost op-
Grafton.
Some sources said the price OF
zinc might be raised slightly to take
care of the SO cents-a-ton advance
in the price of concentrate at Jop-
lin, Mo. The present price of 725
cents a pound, East st. Louis, has
been in effect since September, 1910,
when it was established at the sug-
gestion of Price Administrator Leon
Henderson.
To boost copper output three
Michigan companies have been
granted a subsidy of cent a pound
over costs. plus allowance for an in
crease of 81 a day to miners.
Extension Predicted.
Trade opinion was that the price
office would enlarge this plan to
cover additional properties and
raise production.
Priorities on copper scrap and
brass ingotS also were mentioned as
an early possibility.
While most copper ALLEGATION cer-
tificates were reported filled, some
users will have to wait until early
October to obtain their quota, in
duStry sources said. Delay in ar
rival of some Latin American cop
per and diversion of other tonnage
to lease lend use was blamed.
ALLEGATIONS of 10000 tons of for
eign lead for September had about
the same status, with some deliv-
cries likely to be delayed until Oc-
tober. The price was firm at 5.85
to $50 cents pound, New York,
and $40 cents, St. Louis.
Fear Scrap Shortage.
Several steel sources predicted Sc
riouS interference With lngot pro-
duction this winter because of in
adequate scrap supplies.
Some cut in output also was be-
lieved possible as a result of the
strike at captive coal mines.
While scrap was the most bother
some problem, some evidence of
smoother priority work was reported
BY steel users. At the same time
steel plates were scarcer, with equip
ment makers in some cases report
ing inability to take care of car Ge-
mands for railroads. Pacific Coast
shipyards were said to be complain
ing Of delays in supplies.
The steel industry expects priori-
ties shortly on tin plate. Plants are

NEW YORK, Sept. 20.-The stock

satisfactory week with an extension
of the sharp decline of the previous

While prices Steadied in many in

and a number of favorites managed

small fractional receSsionS were
widespread at the close.
Bearishness persisted over war

cesses in Russia. brokers said, and,
while Wall Street inclined to the be-
lief the Reds still had a chance. few
were willing TO take on additional
commitments.
Further softness Of commodities,
apparently still depressed by the
thought Congress might pass an
overall price ceiling law that would
include farm products. served to dull
the buying appetite for most securi-
ties. The business scene remained
under the cloud of material short
ages and broadening governmental
controls.

go stocks was off 2 of a point and

milling orders were reported in the

The market had been required to
