Lead and Zinc.

New YORK, April 3.-Prof. c. Kirchof[,
Jr., agent of the U. s. Geological Survey,
has issued his annual preliminary esti-
mates ofthe production Of lead and zinc in
the United States during the year 1s57.
The estimates show large Increase over
former years in the production Of both
metals.
There were produced during the year
l35, 552 tons Of desilverized lead and %, ,14s
tons of non-argeptiferous lead. The esti-
mate Of the production of desilyeriztd lead
was based upon returns from every desil.
veriziDg works in the country. Prof Kir-
choff states that the greater part Of the In
crease in the output of desilVerized lead is
probably due to the importation Of Mexi-
can lead, silver ore, while the increase OF
non-argentiferous lead is chiefly due to the
developments Of the st. Joe district in
Missouri.
In the production Of zinc the increase
has been chiefly in Kansas, Missouri and
the South. The total output Of zinc wa
sc, $40 tons, of which Illinois produced
q, 279 tons; Kansas, II, 955; Missouri, g.
6G1, and the Eastern and Southern States,

RECIPROCITY COMPLICATIONS.
The Terms Of Settlement Between Canada
and the United States.

The Terms Of Settlement Between Canad
and the United States.
OTTAWA, April 3-The terms of settle
ment between the Dominion Government
and the Canadian Pacific railway, to en-
able the construction of railroads in the
Northwest connecting with the United
States roads, are understood to be as fol-
lowe
The Canadian Pacific is to surrender alb
solutely its monopoly of the Northwest on
receiving SIS, 900, 600 cash and 10, 900, 600
acres of land at 81 so an acre. The con-
dtions are that the lands are to he open to
settlers, and that the Sl5, 900, 600 ia TO be
expended in improving the railway aud
adding to its rolling stock and branches.
The foregoing is given on the authority
Of the Journal, a paper usually well in
formed Oh ministerial matters, but the
ministers seen last night say they have
not yet authorized the publication Of any
letter.
Further compl ciLions for the Govern
ment in relation to reciprocity seems to
be maturing. There is good reason to be-
lieve that the United States is bringing
pressure TO bear to induce or compel the
Dominion Government to place on the free
list certain articles made free by the
United States, and thus carry out what
the United States authorities understand
to be the meaning of the standing offer"
OF reciprocity on the part Of Canada, of
which so much has been said in current
debate.
Reports differ as to the character of the
pressure put OH by the United States, one
being that it is exercised through the Brit
ish Government. The other report ia that
the Americans simply threaten retaliation
in the form of higher duties. At the Cab
met council yesterday the subject was
considered.

The RnEd Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c, April 3.-The
mesting Of the Senate Committee
on Finance to dag gradually changed
itself into conference OF the caucus COM
mittses of the two parties. 1t was not an
entire success as a caucus owing to the
difficulty Of finding and getting together,
without previous notice, members of the
caucus committees who are not members
of the Finance COMMITTEE. The propo-
sition was made to strip the Bond bill
of all amendments and pass it as it
came from the Finance Committee. The
meeting broke up and the absent members
were consulted on the floor Of the Senate,
but no result was reached. But the pros
pect is favorable 1t is unders God that
Senator Stewart assents on condition that
the Finance Committee report bill, pro
viding that for every dollar of circulation
retired under the operation Of the bill s
silver dollar shall be coined.
