According to the Boston News Bureau the Kenne- cott Copper Corporation about to absorb the Nevada Consolidated Company. The consolidation will be effected by trading one share of Kennecott for two shares of Nevada Consolidated. he following statement, covering the situation, was issued: The Kennecott Copper Corporation n- nounces an offer to the holders of stock of Nevada Consolidated Copper Company to receive tenders for exchange of the capital stock of that company for shares of the capital stock of the Kennecott Copper Cor- is poration on basis of two shares of Nevada | for each of Kennecott. For purpose of ac- cepting such your shares of the -capital stock of Nevada Consolidated should be de- posited with the treasurer of Kennecott Cop- per Corporation on and after May 12, 1932 prior to June 15, 1932. For many years Kennecott Copper Cor- poration through its subsidiary, the Utah Copper, has been in control of Nevada Con- solidated through ownership of a very large number of shares of its capital stock. The operations have been under the same man- agement, and the corporations have con- ducted sales through the same selling agencies. The Boston News Bureauis account of the proposi- tion continues: At the annual meeting President Birch said that after the consolidation of Kenne- cott and Nevada there would be outstand- ing approximately 10,734,000 shares of Ken- necott, assuming complete conversion, against 9,394,000 shares at present Mr. Bi said that after giving effect to the consolidation of Kennecott and ' Ne- vada the combined companies would have in cash, marketable securities, mainly govern- ments, and sold and unsold copper, with un- sold copper at 5'% cents a pound, over $50,- 000,000, equal to about $5 a share. Book value would be about $30 a share. Mr. Birch said that since January 1 operations of the company have about broken even. Output has been curtailed and, naturally, costs have gone up somewhat. He said that since the first of the year mine output of copper has been slightly less than shipments, indicating that consumption is somewhat above world output. Recovery in copper, he added, must depend on an im- provement in general business. He stated, in answer to a question regarding the pro- posed tariff on copper, that the position of the corporation has been neutral. ST. LOUIS AS A FISH MARKET. Although located large body of water, hundreds of miles from any St. Louis is one of the largest inland wholesale fish and sea food distributing centers in the United States, according to 1930 Census of Distribution figures. As a matter of fact St. Louis is the second largest inland fish distributing center in the United States. business in this commodity amounts to nearly $3,- 000,000 annually. Chicago, which, however, is lo- cated on a large body of water, ranks first as an inland fish distributing center. The St. Louis “News Service,” issued by the St. Louis Chamber of Commerce, discussing that great City as a center for the distribution of fish, says: W. A. Meletio, President of one of the largest fish distributing companies in the Middle West, located here, points out that fish in as large varieties and in virtually as fresh conditions as that in any seaboard city can be obtaired h Fish and seafood, he says, is shipped to St. Louis from such co; s as Canad: Norway, Ireland, Scotland and Holland. Great quantities are also imported from Alaska to be distributed throughout the United States from St. Louis, and shipments for the Atlantic, Gulf and Pacific coasts and the Great Lakes arrive daily to be stored, repacked and reshipped or sold in St. Louis. Members of the industry attribute this city's rdpid growth in the last few years as a seafood distributing center despite its inland location, to modern developments in refrigeration and to the fact that St. Louis is centrally located and has the second larg- est railroad system in the country emanating from it to give quick delivery to all parts of the Middle West and Southwest. MEN BEST PATRONS OF DRUG S“TORES. The “lady of the house” may be the outstanding factor as far as the grocer, the butcher and the baker are concerned, but the drug store is predom- inately a man’'s institution, according to preliminary data presented to approximately 600 leaders in the wholesale and detail drug industry from all parts of the country at the National Drug Survey Conference held recently in St. Louis. Preliminary facts reveal that twice as many men as women enter the average drug store, and that contrary to general belief the men’s purchases do ;not consist chiefly of tobacco, newspapers and maga- Ithe soda fountain is visited by more people than Juneau, Dougias, Treadwell and |any other |visits are made there, as compared to 22 per cent. :uon and medicine departments.

In the first 4,000,000 votes collected by the Digest, | whose polls heretofore have proved reliable, the| sentiment in favor of repeal is overwhelming. Only one State stands precariously in the dry column;| most of the remainder are heavily wet. The indi-! cated result of the finished poll, which will give al practically infallible cross-section of opinion, is astonishing even to the opponents of Prohibition and its failing enforcement In the face of such clear public feeling it is| obvious that Prohibition cannot long withstand the | It is bound| to go down one way or another—through utter nulli- fication, through a reversion to old evils or through| istered system of control.

The country ought to be able to look to its Representatives at Washington to discard the obso- do we go from here” and to take the main part in preparing a sensible answer. Setting a Good Example. (Seward Gateway.) In announcing that the firm is prepared to pur- chase this year up to 15 tons of local grown pota- toes at running market prices—Seattle cost plus freigiit to Seward—and that they will endeavor to handle al local grown vegetables, head lettuce, beets, cauliflower, carrots, cabbage, kale, spinach cucumb- ers, turnips, etc., the Brown and Hawkins Corpora- tion is setting an example which should be followed by every general merchant in Alaska and especially in the railroad zone. In support of this effort to keep dollars at home and at the same time encourage self-reliancs in the Territory, every citizen should make a soleran resolve to demand local products wherever possible of supply. This should go further than vegetables. Local store shelves are loaded with imported spider crab meat, while Cordova is canning Alaska’s ex- cellent Dungenes crab and offering it at a lower price than the imported article. Smoked and salted fish, canned salmon and various jams, especially strawberry and currant, are imported from Cali- fornia when the berries may be grown in abundance in the railroad zone. Local canners are preparing clams which likewise are sent to Seattle and re- turned to Alaska for sale. Approximately $850,000 worth of products are shipped to the railroad zone which could be pro- duced within it. This $850,000 would give each person in the area a fair yearly income of $1,000. Here is a chance to make the home garden not only supply the table but give a return in dollars. Reactions from Changes. (Prince Rupert News.) Quite often various changes seem very desirable but different reactions follow. In the United States today it seems desirable to curb the craze for gambling on the stock exchange. If they do this, the business is likely to be transferred to Montreal and if Montreal refuses to handle the business it will go to Mexico. When the framers of the dry laws States secured the constitutional change nobody thought as has followed. | So in almost all the experimental legislation everywhere, the reactions have been unexpected and in many cases the experimental legislation has had to be repealed. Abuses spring up and unex- pected results follow. the United necessary, it would lead to lawlessness such There is a strong probability that Western Union |and Postal Telegraph may soon agree to a merger 1‘01 operating facilities.

She tried to forget that glimpse of the inquisitive clerk from the office dropping, with ears pricked, off his bus and mingling with the crowd on the pavement.
