Business slowed to 770,000 shares Jrom 830,000 yesterday.

About the most optimistic inter- pretation that today's action allow- ed was that the market showed fair stability in the face of strong in- dlcations business profits won't be as large this year as they were in record-breaking 1948.

The Associated Press average of 60 stocks declined .2 of one point to 62.9. The industrial component showed the widest loss, followed by the rail and utility groups.

Steel issues were selling targets a good part of the day.

At the National _ Handicrafts Centre in downtown St. John's they're turning out rings and other set with this stone which has the appearance of marble, but in’ weight is only slight- ly heavier than plastic.

“It is the first time loibrsidorite has been cut in this country." said Frank Templeman. director of the centre. "Germany used to be the only place in which the work could be done."

About a year ago the centre hired W.B. Taylor of 5t. John's to ex- periment with cutting the rock found only on a remote island off the coast of Labrador.

The experiment proved such a success that the centre now is turning out the finished stone in increasing quantities. '

Clay, suitable for pottery-making. also has been found in Newfound- land. and is being converted into pistes and ornaments by the handi- crafts students.

Doubl Congress Will Acl on Seaway

WASHINGTON, April 28 —(OP) -It is now doubtful that Congress will act this year on the St. law- rencg seaway and hydro develop- ment proposals.

Observers point to the lam of legislation revolting action on Cap- itol l-lill and say there is little likelihood of even committee dis- cussion of the costly Canadian- Americsn scheme.

Representative John W. McCor- niaok of Massachusetts, l‘ ocrat- io majority leader in the House. holds out a flickering hope that seaway legislation will be studied in the final days of the session. But he acknowledged recently:

"It is my opinion that it wfil probably not come up this session at all."

Nickel Company One 0f lireal Mining Enipires

By FORBES RHUDI

‘ (Canadian Prose nuaaleu- Editor)

One of Canadirs great mining empires is International Nickel Com-pony of Canada, Ltd, which held its annual meeting yester- day. ,

It operates in Canada, Britain and the United States, sells its products over the world and has an eye out for nickel wherever it may find it.

If one man might be called "Mr. Nickel" of today, it is Robert C. Stanley, who has been with the company most of its life and has presided over its years of great- est expansion. i

He is an American. e New York- er, demribed in e resoludon of shareholders yesterday as "a great Canadian." kei, before the turn of the cen- ury, was some-what of a nuis- ance, foir it complicated the ex- traction of copper. with which it is associated in its Canadian ore. Then it was discovered that s tough nickel-steel could be made, m- peclally valuable for armament, and it was a vital metal of the First World War.

With peace came the prrcblun of finding _new markets to use in- creased production, and that was where Mr. Stanley took over.

A research division was created to find nevpindustrial uses for the metal, and production of i8.- NMXI) in 1922 was about Oipht times that much in 1948, its reo- ord PGGOOUOJq year. I

The United States alone in 1946, used 1'i'l,000,0ii0 pounds, whereas before 1M0 it had never used more

oosnlbined with other metals in alloys; var- ioua steels, east imns, brass; for use in about ev tha moves, all-‘ , automobiles, farm tractors.

While International Nickel is usually thought of in terms of the metal that gives it its name, nick- el comprised only 88.6 per cent of its 1998 sales volume o! $191,021,- 7B8

Refined ,, accounted for 37.22 per cent; rolled metals 29.76; platinum metals 0.80; gold and silver 1.21; and other metals 2.30. For, in addition to producing 80 per cent of the world's nickel. the company is the leading producer of platinum and palladium and is fifth among world copper produo ere.
