THOSE QUOTATIONS.
AN AGENT ON THE WAY HERE To
EXPLAIN THEN.
They are Claimed to be Fair Averages
OF the Market Prices-Wbat Other
Authorities Show.

Auey aSo C1abme0 10 be Fair Averages
Of the Market Prices-What Other
Authorities Show.
Since the exposure in the TIMES, a
few weeks ago, Of the discrepancy be
tween the prices paid here for lead
and silver and the actual quotations
on the New York Stock Exchange at
the corresponding dates, a lively
correspondence has been carried on
between the buyers and sellers here
and the smelters for whom the local
buyers act as agents. This cores.
pondence has probably not been
limited to any particular locality as,
the T1MEs's expose having been
copied extensively by the mining
press and been even deemed of sufi-
cient importance to be transmitted by
telegraph to the members OF the Asso-
clated Press, it has received such a
wide circulation that all ore.sellers
must have been led to investigate the
matter. But with distant points the
TINES has nothing to do. Its bust.
ness being to keep its pa,rous in
formed, 1t will therefore confine
itself to q statement of what has been.
or is to be done here to remedy the
evil complained OF.
After some correspondence on the
subject, the Kansas City Smelling
Works Company finally explained
that its purchases were made upon
quotations supplied by the Western
Union; that such quotations were
probably the average struck the day
they are sent of the prices paid on the
New York market.
This ground can hardly be sustained.
For over one month the Western
Unions quotations for lead were
1925 per 100 pounds. During that
lime not single reliable publication,
rom the Engineering and Mining
Journal to Bradstreet's or Dun's, ever
quoted such a low price for lead,
while much Of the time their figures
we're 1915 to Sc.
This would tend to prove the I'm.
reliability Of the Western Unions
quotations, and that it is bigh time
hat some other authority were Sc
ected.
The last letter on the subject re-
'clved from the Kansas City Smelling
Works states that TOUR Salt Lake
gent has been instructed to go to
Haley to look into the matter" Our
mining men should therefore post
themselves on the subject, in order to
re able to speak iutelligentIy when
hat agent comes.
II they can confront that individual
Nth reliable quotations, they will
oubtlcss be able to recover q part,
t least, of what they lost by selling
n quotations SO palpably lower than
he market iustified.

Daws0n's Reputation as a Produce
Market.


Market.
Dawson's reputs ton as a pro-
duce market extends for miles and
farmers from near Cuthbert and
Calhoun and Webster counties can
be seen on our streets daily with
the products of their farms.
They have tried other markets
and found that Dawson leads them
all.
Goods are sold cheap and the
farmer receives a better price FIR
his produce than he gets elsewhere.
Several thousand dozen eggs are
handled here weekly, besides the
chickens and butter. The trade
on the last two named articles is
not small by any means.
Our merchants are polite and
accommodating and carry large
assortment of goods.
Bring your produce to Dawson
and you will get what it is worth.
