Zinc StockpiIe Growing,
Copper Outlook Cloudy
By the Associated pr.s.

os tAe AcoUCd$U fIeSS.
NEW YORK, Feb. IA large
and growing stockpile OF slab zinc,
cloudy demand-supply situation in
copper and tight supply of steel
sheets occupied major attention in
metal trade circles this week.
Supplies of slab zinc at the end Of
January totaled 194,3ll tons, a rec
ord high, and current production in
dlcated still larger stockpiles were
being accumulated this month. jan
uary zinc smelter production Of a..
066 tons also set a record.
The copper trade pondered seem.
lngly conflicting developments. The
War Production Board removed the
red metal from the No. / shortage
category to No. position because
OF better supply, but at the same
time said military and essential war
demands were barely balanced and
appealed to miners to remain in the
pits during the summer months.
Lead consumers were understood
to have taken care of February re-
quirements but still needed fair sized
tonnages for March.
Steel sheets have become scarce
due to heavy use in landing barges.
sheet makers have declined orders
except for delivery well in the future.

Directors of Peoples Drug Stores

Stock Recovery
Led by Rails,
Weeks Upturn Laid
To Better Technical
Position Of Market
Ry the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-Rails and
specialties led a recovery move
ment in the stock market in the
last week after an improved tech
nical position put an end to a fort
night OF fairly substantial declines.
In the five-day period, the Asso-
ciated Press 60-stock composite rose
a OF a point, erasing approximately
half Of the loss shown in the pre-
ceding two weeks.
On Friday, which closed the
weeks dealings before the Lin
coins Birthday holiday, the market
ran into prof1t-taking and gains Of
point or more generally were
transformed into declines.
G. NJ. Dividend Helpful.
Buying received impetus Monday
from the announcement by General
Motors Corp. increasing the COM
mon dividend to rs cents a share,
compared with so cents quarterly
through 1912 and 1943.
Wall Street felt the automotive
company's action indicated that not
TOO much of financial strain was
expected to result from reconver.
sion to peacetime operation.
AS selling petered out and broader
buying developed, more serious
Thought was given by analysts to
ideas that perhaps war optimism
had been overplayed, a result Of
reports from the Italian beacrhead.
Rail stocks on the averge gained
about point for the week and
on Thursday climber sharply to
reach their best level since last
July. Earnings prospects accounted
for the rise in selected issues.
Oil Deal Studied.
Secretary Ickes' announcement
that the Federal Government.
through the Petroleum Reserve
Corp, planned to build a 1000
mile pipeline across Arabia to the
Mediterranean attracted interest in
financial quarters.
Followers of oil shares studied
reports-later denied-that the pipe
line project might involve a pact
among the United States, Russia
and Great Britain concerning sale
and distribution of petroleum In
postwar world markets.
