Lead and Silver.

Lead has been stagnant at the various
ceuters east, and in Salt Lake it has been
devoid of life and movement. Sales at New
York are reported to have been less than
500 tons, mostly in very small parcels, at
and around $40, while Chicago made sales
Of about 400 tons at $3.50 and St Louis
showed an equally light business at 81. $50
$3.50. There seems to have been a lull in
, the demand for manufactured lead which
spread back to consumers Of pig and caused
the excessive dullness. Spectators, both
east and west, have become discouraged
They anticipated rise and better figures
some time ago, and laid in stocks accord
ingly, bat the rise has not come and they
are disinclined to buy more freely, so that
the entire available demand now comes
from consumers. 1t does not appear that
surplus stocks melt out of sight very
rapidly, for it seems tolerably certain that
Chicago and St. Louis viii have 5000 tons
on hand, and New y orll 1900. Reports of
short production are not so widespread as
they were two months ago, and unless the
trade OF the country increases in a marked
manner, there is no special indication Of a

sale Produce Market.

4 There is but little new to chronicle con-
corning Salt Lake business. 1t is holding
its own, and while some report an increase
over the same period of year ago, others
say there is a slight decrease. a dispas-
sionate review of both sides Of the ques-
tion, however, will, we opine, show that
the volume Of trade is neither larger nor
smaller to any adpreciable extent, than it
was a year ago, while the prospects for
good spring trade are considerably brighter
than III 1855.
The real estate market has frightened
considerably during the week, several large
transfers having been noted, and there are
others of equal Importance pending.
Capitalists have their eyes upon a num-
Der of Bingham properties, and arrange
ments are now under way for the transfer
of one or more mines. The chances are
that Bingham, if the fates are kind to silver
and lead, will take quite stride forward
during the present year
The building boom has only begun, and
vet the preparations for new structures on
al sides are very noticeable.

The death of James c. Flood, at Heidel-
berg, Germany, few days since, has here
tofore been chronicled. He came to this
country from Wicklow, Ireland, about 1S49,
when about % years of age. William
O'Brien accompanied him, and both were
steerage passengers. John w. Mackay and
James Fair, friends of the twain, induced
them to go to California, Mackay and Fair
being inclined to mining. Flood and
O'Brien started a whisky shop, and with
the proceeds ''staked" Mackay and Fair in
prospecting enterprises. Little came at
first of the prospecting, but for years the
whisky business paid well, and Flood and
O'Brien invested money in land and occa-
sionally specializing in mining stocks, laid
up money. Fair and Mackay became super
intenSents of mines in Nevada, and they
too, earned a good income. In the course Of
their operations, Fair and Mackay, with
Flood and O'Brien, bought from a dissipated
prospector, for few hundred dollars, a
1spromising lead.'' This ''lead' developed
into the Consolidated Virginia mine, which
made the four Irishmen bonanza kings"
Between 1870 and 1880 the Comstock lode
yielded $3.50, 900, 000 and the richest proper
ties on the lode were owned by the four
"bonanZa kings"

The Hog Crop Short.

A Cincinnati exchange says present in.
locations point to a shortage in the winter
packing amounting to less than 60O,0 900 hogs
in number, compared with last year, but
probably not less than 1000 decrease
The gain in average weight has been large
and the percentage yield has been or pei
cent. more than usual, so that the indica,
tons are that the actual manufacture OF
product will not fall greatly below last
year, although it is plain that the winter
season will close with smaller stocks than
year ago.
The average price of hog product is now
20 per cent. lower than "a year ago. The
indications as to wants of foreign markets
for our surplus are better than last year,
and this is being reflected in the compare
lively active operations at this time of
packers who cure largely for British mar
ketS.

The cattle market in Chicago has de-
veloped no unusual features during the
week Trade has been generally slow,
although prices have been firmer. There
is no improvement in the demand for stock
ers and feeders. Hogs are in slightly
better demand, and there is a full supply of
sheep, sellers finding it necessary to yield d
point or two in order to sell out.
At Kansas city, fat heavy steers were
strong and shade higher; cows and stock
ers and feeding steers strong and active, as
were also hogs and sheep.
In Omaha, the market for cattle, hogs and
sheep was quite active.

Under the laws of the United States all
Mexican ore containing gold or silver ex-
ceeding the value Of the lead contained is
admitted free of duty. The average Mexi-
can lead ore contains so per cent. lead. To
exceed this value in other mineral, the ore
must contain fourteen ounces silver, which
is an excess of only 3S cents. The duty on
lead ores not in this class is cents per
pound, or $40 per ton, which would increase
the cost of shipping a ten-ton lot from
s11S65 toS51s.65. Notwithstanding the law,
Mexican lead ores are received in this coun
try which donot contain mineralin value ex-
ceeding the value of the lead. The imposi-
ton is worked in this way. There are some
consignments of rich silver ore made from
Mexico, and owners of that class of ores
which should not be admitted free of duty

Advices from Park City are to the effect
that strike of great richness has been
made in the Creole, which is situated on
Treasure hill. The strike was made by E.
N. Jenkins, Dan. Dacy and Pat. Blaney,
who recently secured bond and a lease on
the property for one year. The new vein OF
ore is over foot thick, and of a similar
character to that produced by the Wood
side and the Record believes that it is a
continuation of the Woodside vein. If so,
three more 'bloated bondholders' will be
added to the population of Park City within
the year.

NEWS FROM THE MINES.

At Mr.. Hanauers Office, the week was
reported as fair one. Bingham was heard
from, although not to any considerable ex-
tent; Stockton shipments were lyelier than
usual; Cottonwood doomed to the front
once again; while the usual output came
from Park City and Frisco. The present
weather is highly conducive to good roads,
and one may reasonably expect Park City
and other camps to increase their ship
ments weekly.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE.-About $40
last Thursday. morning our citizens
were aroused from their slumbers
by the cry of fire, and the ringing
of bells Everybody hurried to the
scene with buckets for we have no
fire Department. which proved to
be the steam tannery, situated at
the intersection of the county road
and 18th street, and owned and OBJ
Grated by our Mayor, Mr.. David S.
Snyder. When first discovered the
upper story aud roof was all ON fire
and about ready to fall in. 1t was
found impossible to save the build
ing, and people turned their attent-
ion to saving the adjacent houses,
and it took work to do it, for the
fire was fearful hot, but our bucket
brigade was equal to the occasion.
The loss to Mr.. Snyder-will reach
about 81 900, and no insurance. All
of the stock of leather, hides, ma
chinery, tools and benches together
with his books and papers were de-
stroyed; the tanbark and shed and
a few hides was all that was saved.
How the fire originated is a mystic
ry. Some think it was from sron-
taneous combustion. others that If
originated from the furnace. Mr..
Snyder thinks it was caused by the
earelessness of tramps who had
gone into the furnace room to stay
over night. But many are inclined
to the belief that the fire was the
work of an incendiary.
This loss falls with heavy hand
upon Mr. Snyder, as all his money
was invested in this tannery, and
while losing his all, leaves him in
debt. In a conversation with him,
he told US that he would rebuild if
those whom he owed did not become
scared and crowd him to the wall.
and further said no man would lose
a cent by this great misfortune to
him, and that time was now the
most important thing to him.
Mr.. Snyder is an upright, honest,
christian gentleman. and a hard
working, pushing, energetic man.
He has always extended a helping
hand to every enterprise that want
ed to locate in our town, and has
done as much as any other citizen
to help push this town ahead.
Now that he is SO badly crippled
in his business, our people ought to
come to his aid financially, and as
sist him in rebuilding his tannery.
1t was an important industry to our
town and we can't afford to let it
go by without being rebuilt Our
people ought to subscribe enough
money, anyhow, to re erect the
building. Who will lead off in gen
erOsity? Let your sympathies be
of the substantial kind.
