Bottom 90 the Lead Market.
Although there has been no further
decline in the New York lead quota
tons since last week the drop Of the
preceding week has gone into effect
Of Salt Lake City. and settlements for
this week viii be made on the basis
Of IS ST. per one hundred pounds
as against 81 % for the week previous.
This Is the lowest point reached since
January Is, 1Se9 when it was quoted
at So SIS.
Copper also has felt the effect OF 8
declining market, and dropped this
week from Is cents to l5A, while
silver has gone up during the week
o~ne-eighth Of a cent.
Hon. Burton Sewell OF New York
City, Vice President OF the American
Smelling and Refining Company, was
in Salt Lake City on Tuesday. accom-
panied by vice-Chsirman Eilers Of
Pueblo and superintendent Rabt OF
Denver. Owing to the high positions
occupied BY those gentlemen their
opinion on the lead situation was
eagerly sought for sndis summed up by
the Salt Lake Tribune as follows: The
decline in lead was the topic that more
keenly interested the producers Of this
portion Of the country, nor could the
visitors afford much more light, not
withstanding it came through more
eminent lights, than has been shed
upon it already. The intimation that
the American Smelling and Refining
Company could have prevented it
when the company itself vas more
keenly concerned and had more at
stake than all others was brushed aside
as an absurdity to which no sane mind
could be reconciled.
In the first place, before the figures
the producer has been realizing since
the first Of the year were attsinable,
the company had to shoulder q loss OF
nearly SIS, 000-this to get out Of the
country an accumulation Of about 3 200
tons OF the metal that blocked the way
to higher prices. But higher prices had
come, and with them came an increas-
ed production OF lead. The Missouri
miner who had been frozen out for SO
long q time, because OF low prices,
rallied his forces and old producers,
long in the mausoleums of commerce,
came to life and began to swell the
output. Then old lead producers in
Colorado started uptheir pumps. Idaho,
with the rioters OF the Occur d'Alene
country finally suppressed, began to
increase its production, and the weight
upon the market became SO great that
no power could resist its effect. Indeed,
it came 30 fast and in such increased
volume that the American Smelling
and Rehnlng company now mas In lts
storehouse over 40, 900 tons and that
the rapidly increasing production Of
the present year will add to it the visi.
tors have no doubt.
The charge in the East that the
company has been specializing in the
metal is characterized as equally ridi-
culous.
There is a remedy for all things,
however, and the producers OF the
West have the assurance OF Vice Presi-
dent Sewell and his associates that the
American Smelling and Refining Com
pany will exert everything in its power
to find one that will restore lead tc
former prices.

into an association to maintain prices
and protect their mutual interests. Jos.
cph f. Bi,lwcll OF Belle Fourche. South

THE trouble in the past has been that
eastern buyers have visited western
wool-growing states. purchasing the
hest clips. leaving the worst in the
hands OF the growers. One OF the OBJ
jects OF the association Is to prevent
this and clean UP all grades at the same
time. Another Of our plans is to erect
wool houses ut Belle Fourchc and 9th.
er places, where. when necessary,
growers clips can be stored Mt nominal
cost instead of shipping TO eastern
warehouses. These warehouses will
contain samples from different sections
which will make them purchasing de.
