Zinc Prices Ruled High.-Although
the weekly output of zinc ore in the
Missouri and Kansas district was
greatly increased this week, the pro-
ducers succeeded In holding up the
price. The highest price paid was sos
per ton, representing a high basis
of $51 for GO per cent ore. The Bad
ger and Peacock Kansas mines, which
were flooded about three months ago,
are again in operation at Galena. The
weekly output OF ore from these
mines alone amounts to about 400
tons. The aggregate of the curtailed
output since the mines were flooded,
amounting to about 5000 tons, is
largely responsible for the prevailing
high price
