California Keeps Lead
In Gold Production
By the Associated Pre
California easily retained its
championship as a gold producer
and Idaho handily won again the
silver mining crown in 1939.
Their performance were shown in
production figures of the Mint
Bureau yesterday. The figures also
showed that domestic gold produc
tion last year totaling 5,579,931
ounces valued at $195,297,600, was
the highest in history, surpassing
the previous record year of 1938 by
about $23,000,000.
Silver production totaled 64,938,
093 ounces worth $44,079,190, which
was about $3,500,000 more than in
1938, but about 10,000,000 ounces less
than in the record year of 1915.
The 1939 silver value was greater
than 1915, however, because of
' higher prices.
The 10 leading gold-producing
4
States and territories in order, were |
California, Philippine Islands, Al
aska. South Dakota, Colorado, Nev
ada, Arizona, Utah, Montana and j
Idaho. This ranking was about the
same as in 1938, except that Nevada
passed Arizona by a slight margin.
The 1939 silver rankings were
Idaho, Utah, Montana, Colorado, |
Arizona, Nevada, California, New
Mexico, Texas and Philippine
Islands. In this year, Montana
passed Colorado and Arizona and
moved up from fifth to third place,
while New Mexico moved ui# a notch
over Texas.

Bv VICTOR EUBANK,
Associ»ted Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—The stock
market suffered a sinking spell to
day but revived partially at the
last under belated buying treat
ment.
Modest advances were fairly well
distributed at the start. Dealings
were sluggish and. when the feeble
rally failed to follow through, suf
ficient selling pressure appeared
around midday to knock down
leaders fractions to more than 2
points
Volume picked up on the setback
and. for a time, it looked as
though a real old-lashioned wash
out was under way. The flurry
proved short-lived and dealings
soon slowed as support began to
crop up for favorites. At the close
extreme declines were W'ell reduced
in most cases and. here and there,
plus signs were in evidence.
Transfers were in the neighbor
hood of 700,000 shares.
Brokers attributed the forenoon
tumble mainly to shelving of com
mitments by tired holders who had
turned bearish because of the recent
inability of the market to climb out
of the rut. Growing fears in some
quarters of a sizeable spring busi
ness recession also clouded specu
lative sentiment, despite the ex
ceptional showings of major cor
porations in all lines during the
final 1939 month. Thoughts of a
long drawn out Congress and lack
of clear-cut political omens helped
to muddy the financial scene.
Prominent on the downside tne
greater part of the day—some came
back at the finish—were United
States Steel. Bethlehem. Chrysler,
Sears-Roebuck. Douglas Aircraft,
United Aircraft. Du Pont. Allied
Chemical. Great Northern. Ameri
can Smelting and Loft.
Cluett-Peabody. New York Ship
building. International Mercantile
Marine and Woolworth were in the
resistant class. ^
Chicago Grain
«
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO. Jan. 9 —After an ad
vance of almost a cent, wheat prices
today resumed the decline which has ^
been under way the past week, wip
ing out early gains and tumbling
about 2 cents below previous closing
levels. Prices were the lowest in two
weeks.
Some selling here was attributed
to spreading operations against pur
| chases at Winnipeg, where wheat is
much cheaper, and reports that the
Canadian Wheat Board was offering
grain there increased offerings in
the Chicago market. The decline
uncovered numerous stop-loss or
ders which were put into execution,
augmenting the selling.
Buenos Aires prices declined
about 2 cents.
