THE COTTON MARKETS.

market opened steady at a decline of ;
points to an advance of 1 point, the gain
being on the new crop months. The fea-
ture was March notices, which We're issued
to the extent of 10000 bales, and which
caused further liquidation on the near posi-
lions. but after selling off to 1917 for March.
or even with the low point of last Friday AMI
about @ points net lower, the market rallied
on buying of March by various spot in
terests. and during the middle of the morn
ing worked up to net gain of 4a5 points
on the active months
Later trading was less active and ffuctua-
tons irregular. but the demand from trade
interests Impaired a fairly steady tone to
the market and selling was scattered.

1t has been said that the limitation OF
new business will result in great curtail-
ment in agency forces by the larger COM
panies, especially If commissions are re-
duced, but these trained canvassers would
be hardly likely to give up the business
with which they are familiar. Probably the
bulk of the agents which the larger COM
paniss would let go would make contracts
with other companies, and the reduction of
commissions would result in stimulating eff
forts by the individual agent to write a
larger total Of business

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-Complaints that wheat
is sprouting in the shocks in the south
west caused a strong tone in the local
market today. At the close September
wheat was up &c. Corn was up AG3sc.
Oats showed a gain of Ac. Provisions
were 21a@5c higher
Wet weather in the southwest was the
cause of active buying of wheat by shorts
as a result of which the market ruled
firm all day. Rain, it was claimed, is
causing damage to the winter wheat crop.
In addition to the demand by shorts sew
eral of the leading bulls bought freely.
A feature of the days news which was
favorable to the bulls was a decrease in
primary receipts, total arrivals today be-
ing 900 bushels, compared with l.
422 900 bushels the corresponding day a
year ago. At the start the market was
bullishly affected by small local receipts
The market closed strong. September

RUSHING WORK
At THE DIXIE
Bullion Production and Ship
ment Waiting on Completion
of Traction Engine Road.
MINE NOW OPENED DEEP
COMPANY HAS $50 MEN ON THE
PAYRoLLs.
MINE NOW OPENED DEEP

Some idea of the magnitude of the cam
paign that is being conducted by Manager
C. H. Doolittle at the Utah & Eastern
company's Dixie mines and smelters in
Washington county can be had from the
statement that approximately $50 men,
ten rour-horSe teams and a traction en-
elEe train are now employed by the COM
pany IN handling its affairs. Manager
Dooittle returned from camp Sunday
morning and spent the day at Bingham,
Where he Is also managing the properties
or the Bingham-NeW Haven company.
AT the Dixie fifty-one miners are now
employed. The great riple-compartment
ing tunnel at depth of something over
600 feet. Is now down to a vertical depth
on the lode or LEGO feet and is still being
crowded down. The smelter is temporar-
lily out OF commfSSion-for a few days
only. until the grade over which the
traction engine and its train is to pass
has been completed TO the plant. THE
smeiter force consists of twenty-five men
and there has been accumulated. as re-
suit of the months run at the plant,
over 10000 pounds of copper bullion.
All OF the available teams and approx
tmately seventyfive men are employed
In completing the road, taking the kinks
out of curves. widening the grade at
places and otherwise placing the highway
IN first-class condition for the handling
OF traffic by the traction engine the util-
demonstrated over the thirteen miles of
road out of Acoma, the railroad station,
that has been placed in fine condition.
No trouble has been experienced in pulling
a load of nearly forty tons over this por-
ton of the grade and Manager DOolittle
states il will not be long till the rest
of the thirty-eight miles 10 the smelter
is in shape to run the trains right
through. Then coke and all other sup
plies will be hauled in and bullion out
10 the railroad. thus relieving the COM
panys six big four-horse teams to ply
between the mine and smelter. He has
held up the shipment of bullion until
the work mentioned had been finished
rather than to send it out in the little
dribbleS that he might do by placing
team or two on the job.
1t has required a great deal of work to
place the properties of the Utah & East
ern company in shape for steady and
heavy production and the disastrous
floods of the spring cut no small figure
in retarding the work by completely de-
stroying many miles of the road between
the mines and Smeiters of the company
and the railroad. Everything will have
been Strengthened out during the present
month and then the Dixie will be heard
from in no uncertain manner.
At the Bingham-NeW Haven properties
Manager DoOlittle reports everything to
be running like clock work, with the
usual tonnage of ore passing over the
company's new aerial tram to the rail-
road loading station of the Copper Belt
line.

NOT TREATING ORE YET.
Americans Garfield Plant Cannot
Start for Week Yet.

The American Smelling company did
ont get ready to begin the feeding of ore
into the furnaces at the new Garfield
plant yesterday, as expected. The warm
ing up process and trying out of furnaces
and flues is still progressing and the cal
culation is that, nothing unforeseen hap
pening, the first charges of ore and
fluxes will be tried out on Monday next.
As has been many times explained in
this department. the blowing in of a new
smelter is not accomplished in a day,
week or month. 1t takes time TO place
such a plant as that of the American
company in full working order and, while
no estimate Of the time that will be there
required has been stated, it will likely
take month or two, maybe more. to get
the monster works working at capacity

MINING STOCK EXCHANGE.
Business Is Unusually Light for
First Day of Week.

Trading was light on the mining ex-
change for Monday. which is ordinarily
one of the best days of the week. Dur
ing the two regular and open board calls
total of "a, 80 shares of stock, with a
selling value of SIS, 1925 changed hands.
Two or three stocks gave indications in
the beginning Of making and holding
sharp advances, but when the day closed
it was seen that the market as a whole,
was not as strong as the close of last
week found it.
Daly-Judge sold at $l1.121k, Little Bell

HONERlNE is TUNING UP.
Another Shift to Go On at the Mill
During Present Week.

Another shift is to be put on at the
Honerine company's mill at Stockton dur
ing the present week and the plant will
then be handling a pretty large tonnage,
possibly 500 tons day, and turning out
close to 100 tons of concentrates. Since
starting up the mine and mill few weeks
ago the property has been brought up to
q production of approximately 400 tons
of crude ore a day. The major portion of
this has been going direct to the smell
ters, the balance to the mill for treat
ment.
1t has been found to be no easy mat
ter TO secure a large force of competent
men for the mine but. day by day, the
number has been added to and the men
who have been taken on have been of a
class that is a credit to any mine. Mine
Manager w. K. Mordock has the situa-
ton now we'll in hand and the increased
tonnage that the placing of another shaft
on at the mill will call for can easily be
supplied. The old Honerine is just begin
ming to show what it can do. AT the
end OF the first sixty days run the share
holders will begin to appreciate what the
long siege of development and construc-
tion was carried through for.

MILLIONS IN TAlLINGS.
East Butte Lessees Erect Plant to
Handle Material From Parrot.

Advices from Butte are to the effect
that the big precipitating plant being
built by the East Butte Copper company
lessees is nearly completed and will cost
$4,000. The plant is the largest in the
district, and in a few days will begin
working Parrot tailings, which cover
seven acres of the newly acquired ground
of the East Butte company. These tall
ings are from ten TO thirty feet deep and
are estimated to contain several million
dollars worth of copper. The lessees
have a time lease and will pay the COM
pany % per cent royalty, and at the ter
mination of the lease the plant will re-
vert to the company, which will continue
precipitation.
