Lake Copper stock sinks to lowest price since 1908
Lake Copper stock fell to six dollars a share yesterday the lowest level since 1908 and well below the 1910 high of ninety four. The company’s annual report corroborates earlier bearish projections about barren ground at the lower levels and uncertainty of the lode. Cash assets barely cover current liabilities and development costs, and the fiscal year ending April 30 1913 shows results far from the optimistic forecasts made when shares traded over 90.

Senate finance panel shifts on tariff free list for livestock and wheat
Washington June 16 The Underwood tariff debate pivots as Senate finance committee members move to strike the countervailing duty and leave cattle sheep hogs and wheat on the free list. President Wilson backs free access for agricultural inputs amid a broader effort to equalize raw materials and finished products. The panel later adds a countervailing duty clause or leaves free only for non dutiable sources, while bananas newly placed on the dutiable list fuels American growers. The report also covers shipping news, cargoes and port arrivals as well as a sinking harbor tug and ocean liner departures.

Emergency Currency and Market Stabilization
Secretary McAdoo allowed national banks to use 500 million in emergency currency under the Aldrich-Vreeland act, a move credited with stemming a price decline.
