Copper.
In opposition to what was generally

In opposition to what was generally, if not universally expected, the new arrangement between the producing companies seems not yet to have been actually signed, and it is reported that serlous hitch in the progress of that desired consummatien has arisen.
 The parties credited with exhibit ing this want of harmony are the producers interested in the Arizona output. A meeting to ratify the com mittee's arrangements was intended to have been held on the 26th inst. but the fact that nc such meeting has yet been called clearly indicates that the work ot the committee has proved to be much more difficult thas- was anticipated.
 In our last issue we pointed out the advantages, and also the disadvanta- ges, likely to accrue from the project ed arrangement. As to the final sue cess of any combination of the kind we are not very sanguine, because the selling prIces are fixed at level cal culated to stimulate rather than dimIrlsh production, and even if the companies individually professedly unite in the arrangement the profits that can still be made at present prices are so handsome that there will always be a strong temptation to evade the clause which applies to eur tailing production.
 The opinion seems to gather strength that even if all the companies ulti- mately sign the compact, disagree ments and differences are likely to be matters of frequent occurrence, and these disputes will eventually lead to complete breakup of the combina- tion.
 Under these circumstances the feel ing on the part of the general body ot consumers continues the same as be- lore tho new arrangement was an- nounced, and that feeling is decidedly one of distrust as to the stability of present values, the natural result of which IS that orders are only given cut to meet actual current necessities.
 We still maintain that reduction of prlceS to meet the natural condi- tions of supply and demand would have produced much healthier mar ket and better results to the producers ln the long run than any attempt on their part to sustain an unnatural level of values by means of combina- tions or any other artificial means For proof ot this we can polnt to the European markets, the activity and generally healthy tone of which are in strong contrast with the prevailing distrust and inactivity in our domes- tic market.
 All reports frohl Europe agree that consumption is going on at a very sat isfactory rate, and all branches of bus mess in which copper is employed appears to be in thriving condition. Engineering and Mining Journal.

The once Despised Cotton Seed.

Was there ever, says the Banker s Monthly, such history as that of the cotton seed? For 70 years desplsed as nuisance and burned and dumped as garbage, then discovered to be the very food for which the soll was hun- gerlng, and reluctantly admitted to the rank of utilities, shortly after wards found to be nutritious food for beasts as well as fer soll, and there upon treated with something like re- spect. Once admitted to the circle of farm industries, it was found to hold B gallons of pure oil to the ton, worth in its crude state S14 to the ton, or $40, 100000 for the whole crop of seed. But then system was devised for re- finlng the oil up to value of S1 a gal lon, and the frugal Italians placed a cask of t at the root of every olive tree and then deied the Borean breath of the Alps. And then eyperichce showed that the ton of cotton seed was better fertilizer and better stock foed when robbed of it's 35 gal Ions of oll than before, that the hulls of the seeds made the best of fuel for feeding the oil-mill engine, that the ashes of the hulls scooped from the engines draught had the highest com merclal value as potash, and that the ''refuse' of the whole made the best and pprest soap stock, to carry to the toilet the perfumes of Lubin or Col gate. In regard to the cotton-seed hulls, still further important discev- cry has heen made. An,ezperimental paper-stock mill at St. Louis has dem onstrated that the waste or refuse lint of mills that make cottenseed oil is almost as valuable as the oil itself, this substance being convertible into paper. The receipts of the cotton-seed oil-mills, it is said, will be almost doubled from that source. while ex- penses will not be greatly increased.- Mining and Scientific Press.

Kay Of Negro Labor.

The Chattanooga Tradesman has been inquiring into the value Of the negro as laborer, as estimated Tn the South. The inquiries were sent to 300 leading Southern manufacturers, representing blast furnaces, rolling mills, miscellaneous iron works, mines, lumber mills, sawmills, etc. Replies were received winch represent 5000 negro employees, of whom 2,500 are skilled. The average wages paid com mon negro labor is S110 per day and skilled labor runs from $1.75 to S2.25 per day, though several corre- spondents pay colored puddlers, heat CTS and rollers as high as S4 and S5 per day. The replies, without sin gle exception, show that thero,is no difference at all between the Bay of whites and blacks for the same class of work. The manufacturers are prac- tically unanimous in opinion that for common labor in Southern States the negro Is more efficient and useful than
 the white, and without an exception
 they declare themselves well satisfied
 with the negro in the factory, and an- naunce their determination to con- tinue him in hls place. Many state that he is making progress in skilled work. The Tradesman adds that the condition of the negro is constantly improving. and as an industrial factor his usefulness IS now recognized by all.

The Baku OH wells Running Dry.


 Intelligence has been received at Berlin from Baku to the effect that a permanent decrease IS showing itself in the production of naptha in that region, and that there is probability Of very serious crlsis shortly coming on. The naphtha basins of the Ap- sheron Peninsula and Bibicibat are no doubt still very productive, but the yield is no longer to be relied on. Almost all the factories at Baku, ln- cluding M. Nobel's, are suffering for want ef the raw product, the prlce of which has risen from one or two ko- pecks to five or six pound. Many new borings have been made, but the results by no means realize the hopes or expectations of the specnlatlons. Messrs. Rothschild's representative, the manager of the Caspian & Black Sea Naphtha Company, has received orders to proceed to Pars after thor ough investigation has been made of the state of affairs by the company $ engineer a Balachona.

A Washington, D. C., dispatch, Of the 2d says: It is not probable that the War Department will take any steps in the matter of removing the band of Apaches from Mount Vernon Barracks, Ala. Secretary Proctor said this morning that there is a mandatory statute providing for the confinement of these Indians at some Government barracks, and there IS nc better place than where they now are. The In- dian Rights Association has made a proposition to purchase a large tract of land in North Carolina to which the Indians could be removed. and where they could live in partial free dom, headed by the old warrior, Geronimo, but Secretary Proctor is net disposed 10 act until he sees the purchase consummated; Tn fact, it would seem that he is inclined to think the tribe is pretty well cared for now.

The Baltimore and Ohlo Railroad, after series of careful tests, has sat is6ed itself that coke is decidedly the best tflel to use on locomotives. The heat Is steadIer and far more intense, and does not throw out any smoke CT cllnkers to annoy passengers; conse- quently the Baltimore and Ohio road is now arranging to substitute coke for coal, and it is very generally be- lieYed in railroad circles that the day is not far distant when all the great trunk lines h the country, where 1t, IS possible to do so, will use coke as frel for their locomotives.

 The lowering of the requirements as to speed and efficiency, which IS being done by the Navy Department regarding the proposed new cruisers, is not the wisest course for our au- thorlt;es in this emergency. A better way would be fer Congress to increase the appropriation, if builders can not construct the sort of vessels first de- manded for the price provided.

An official report on the oil regions of Pennsylvania has just been pub1 lished, and shows such remarkable falling off in both production and stock as to cause the assistant geelo7 gist of the State to express an opinion that the existing oil fields are giving out. The proportion of dry holes tc wells sunk has steadily increased dur+ ing the last fiYeyears, while the yield of several districts has been dimln5 ished 5y two-th,rds during the same period. The new white sand pools of the southwest district are now being turned to, and nnIess they yield more than generally expected, Pennsylva5 mia will soon lose its reputation in the oil world.
