Copper Rolls Prices Back Move Follows U.S. Stockpile Release NEW YORK (AP) - The copper industry has rolled back its price increase; following a gov-It decision to sell 200,000 tons of copper from its stockpile.

Secretary of the Treasury Henry H. Fowler, speaking in Chicago, said sale of copper and aluminum from government surpluses represents on “effort to meet the current situation by increasing supply. "We feel we have an undeniable responsibility, under the current situation, where the gap between supply and demand is at its very narrowest to avoid price and wage increases that could lead to inflation,” he said, involved.
