Prev. Yesterday the outcome of their own labour Closing Closing and Fate problems. Conflicting rumours regarding utilities con- tinue, but no news as yet with re- gard to possible Government ac tion. In the industrial section of the market, the present labour and price uncertainties continue to act as a check on oil issues. The fact that the public is aware of the ex- tent of copper speculation, combin- ed with the fact that a set-back will be natural in view of the re- cent extreme rise in price, is mak- ing for temporary weakness in this section, but the "spot" situation remains tight and we continue to like the outlook for the low-cost producers. Heavy steel statistics continue to justify the attractive- ess of this group, especially U.S. Steel, despite the fact that its mazin properties are located in Mexico. We suggest Howe Sound as pro mising interesting speculative pos- sibilities in the event of higher prices for lead and zinc; on
mathematical calculation purely based on the standard 1935 pro- duction figures, a 1-cent rise in the price of lead and zinc respec
