LEAD AND SILVER.
Price OF Both Metals Tskes n Jump
Upward.


As a result OF a number OF slight
advances during the preceding week
the American Smelling and Refining
Company in New York on Monday
last established the selling price Of lead
at $40 and s4.I5. This quotation,
il was announced. was good only for
that day, and a further advance is ex-
pected during the week.
1t is au~thoritatively stated that the
great majority Of the lead producers
OF the country have signed the Smelt-
ing Company'su agreement, and to this
is attributed the advance to the
price named above. The promise
is now made that not later than July
l the price will be fixed as agreed
at s4.I2k. where ID will be main
tanned for at least six months.
At the same time the price oil silver
reached 61ss cents per ounce, and it is
confidently expected that still further
advances will follow. This advance is
credited to a demand from China and
other Eastern countries, due to a GER
tain extent to the present disturbances,
and it is believed the price will shortly
reach 81 cents.
Notwithstanding the advances the
settling price for lead at Salt Lake this
week will be on the basis OF $3.623, OF
4 cents lower than last week, that fig
ure being dispatched to Manager Jones
on Monday, as is the practice of the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany, at the opening OF each week,
and under the rules adopted at the be-
ginning of the present year, will gov.
srn all settlements during the week.
The Associated Press brought the
ne VS. that on the New York exchange
during Monday the American Smelt'
ing and Refining Company's price had
been advanced to S4.10@4.15 per hun
dred pounds with the brokers' price
moving up to 81.
