A Denver, Colorado, dispatch Of Jan.
26 SAYS: Prices Of pig lead were advanced
81 a ton yesterday by the American
Smelling and Refining Company, and
notices to this effect we're sent all over
the United States.
In December last, as a result of con-
ferences between the leading lead pro-
ducers OF Idaho and Utah and officials OF
the American Smelling & Refining Com
pany, it was decided to reduce prices and
at the same time curtsil production.
A harmonious working arrangement
was entered into by all parties, the price
of lead was cut and the surplus stock
which accumulated was greatly lessened.
The demand among continued
strong. so much 30 in fact that last
week it was decided to advance prices
81 a ton. The new list prices will go into
effect at once.
In Europe better trade conditions also
prevail. Higher prices went into effect
in England, France and Germany last
week, the advance being IS a ton.
The new price Of lead will be On the
basis OF 4 lilo cents a pound. or an adj
vance OF 10 cents per 100 pounds.
Producers VIII Not he Benefited.
Salt Lake Tribune, Jan. %: Local ex'
ultation over the telegraphed advance in
the lead market was all wasted on Q
misapprehension. 1t was not the pro-
ducer's picnic. On the contrary, he will
be permitted to simply look on while the
smelter, from its hesvily-stocked store
rooms, fills the consumers order at an
advance OF 50 per ton, and in turn allows
the producer to settle at the price agreed
on at the New York conference-or $3.50
per hundred pounds. However, it must
hasten the reduction Of any unwieldy
'~surplus" under which the smelter has
been groaning, and On the theory OF sup.
ply and demand, improve the outlook
for the metal. In the meantime the pro.
Queer will content himself with the set.
