MINES AND SHELTERS
TO KEEP LEAD PRICE UP

From the looks of things the pro-
materially trimmed, just as is the
production of copper in all of the big
camps of the country. 1t is not con-
tended that there is such an awful
surplus of lead in the country today,
but the argument is advanced that
business is so dull that, If some pro-
vision is not made to curtail the pro-
duction of the black metal, it will not
be long till the accumulation of the
refined article will become so large
that a sharp decline in the price will
be forced, according to the Salt Lake
Herald.
1t is asserted that the mines and
smelters of the north and northwest
have already begun to cut down pro-
duction and the same plan is now
being suggested by some of the smelt-
ers here to the producers with whom
they have contracts. The belief ap-
pears to be general that the best way
to meet conditions that now con-
front the producers and shelters of
lead, as we'll as copper ores, is to
work in together and prevent the
overlooking of what is conceded to
be slumpy and treacherous market.
Within the past month or two the
price of lead has been cut Is cents
per 100 pounds. The natural dull
season for the consumption of the re-
fined and commercial grades of lead
is at hand, and it is argued that it
would be equivalent to inviting much
lower prices to crowd the market
The suggestion of curtailment is COM
ing from the smelling and not from
the mining sources. The leadsilver
mines of this region were never in
such splendid shape to make records
for production, but it is counted as
reasonable on the part of the smelt-
ers that the producer had better re-
serve and build up his mining capac-
ity just at present, rather than crowd
the production and get less for his
ore during the period of stagnation
in business and unfavorable weather
conditions for the use of paints and
other products that have such bear
ing on the utilization of the metal.
Viewed in the light of business
sagacity it is considered safe to say
that the miners and smeltermen will
work in harmony to keep up the Price
of the metal until the inevitable
change for the better in business con-
ditions is brought about.

AUSTRALIAN PASSION FRUIT
ON THE LONDON MARKET

The account in the Pail Mall Ga
zette one evening last week of the I'M
favorable reception of the first con-
signment of Australian passion-fruit
at Covent Garden aroused my interest
and hoping to secure some at reas-
enable price l went next day to the
market to make inquiry.
A representative of the firm who
had received the consignment, which
was one of about thirty cases, told
me that, finding few buyers on the
previous day, they had actually given
all the fruit away, but were regret
ting their hasty generosity, as num-
bers of people had since been wanting
it, and one of the Agents General had
made an offer of 12s case for the
whole lot THE people who know
the fruit want to get it," he re-
marked, land l dare say if any more
is sent we shall be able to sell it. The
big hotels are asking for it now it
has been written about in the news
papers,"
To my question whether | should
be likely to find any at the leading
stores, he replied: None of them
bought any. Indeed, SO little was
sold l can't tell you where it went"
Still intent on my purpose I looked
at the window of every fruit shop
passed; twice l was misled by some
singularly fine purple plums; but at
last my search was rewarded by dis
covering a basket of eight passion
fruit in little shop near the Hay
market. They were not of SO rich
color as I expected, and my i'm
preston on looking at them was that
they had not been sufficiently ripe
when picked-the fruit as / remem-
bered it was of rather deep purple
and of fuller flavor than these
we now enjoy for transporting fruit
in fit condition great distances over
sea it should be easy to remedy this
fault.
The cultivation of the passion-fruit
is increasing largely in Australia,
particularly in the Glenorie and Ar
cadia districts of New South Wales,
where it has been found to thrive on
poor sandstone soil that was formerly
considered useless for anything. 1t
is an increasing custom when plant
ing an orange orchard to put in
passion vines at the same time. A
light trellis to support the vines is
run midway between the rows of trees
which are spaced twenty feet apart
in each direction. This arrangement
enables the orchardist to get re-
turn from his land eighteen months
after planting, and in six or seven
years, when the orange trees begin to
bear freely, the life of the vine is on

One of Bismark's Discoveries.

One day Lord Russell, while chat
ting with Bismark, asked him how he
got rid of those importunate visitors,
whom 1t is impossible not to receive,
and who when they have been re-
ceived, never think it is time to take
themselves off. The chancellor re-
piled smilingly:
ooh have an easy and sure means
My wife at once understands when a
persons belongs to that terrible class,
and when she is sure that such a per-
son has me in his clutches, and sees
that he is staying too long, she finds
some way of coming to call me and Of
getting me away on some plausible
pretext."
Bismark. had nearly. finished this
explanation to Lord Russell when his
wife appeared in the doorway of the
adjoining room.
my DEAR" said she, will you
come and take your medicine? 1t is
more than an hour past the time!"-

NEW YOKh STOCK MARKET

New York. ADrl 1.-The only fac
tor Of any importance to be drawn
from the action Of today's stock mark
ct was its narrowing proportions, due
10 the decline in general interest IN
the operation. The demand from uD-
covered shorts, which was responsible
for yesterdays brisk price movement,
in spite of the small dealings, was
carried somewhat further today be-
fore it had exhausted its influence on
prices. Dealings then laDsed into a
state Of lethargy. This condition IS
regarded as rather seasOnable. espc-
cially so after so severe a liquidation
as was completed last month. The
course Of the money market with ac-
tive resumption of demand for cur
rency from the interior is a subject
Of uncertainty. With the added out
come of the years crop and the extent
to which the slowing down in trade
may go, the halt in stock speculation
becomes Ineligible. News develop
ments were Of small consequence as
they affected the market.
The strength of the morning was
connected to an important extent
with the further recovery Of the copper
metal in the London market. Money
here was firmer, although the change
was scarcely peroeptible. New York
exchange at Chicago has fallen to 25
cents discount while the foreign ex-
change here is frmer. Discounts
hardened in London and the likelihood
of a further reduction in the Bank of
England discount rate is lessened by
the movement of gold from London to
Paris. Today's statement Of the Ina
perial Bank of Germany showed rap
id further recuperation from the strain
of the April statement of two weeks
ago, Last prices of stocks were near
the lowest. -#
Bonds were irregular. Total par
value s1.29S,OO0, United States bonds
were unchanged on call. Total sales

New York, April 1.-THE cotton

an advance of one poin, on April but
generally 10 points lower in re
sponse in Liverpool cables and the

was due 10 only one transaction but
served 10 check bear pressure at tho
opening and he market eased off
gradually under scattering liquida
uon until the prices showed 4 net
loss Of about 9 TO y points. following
the liberal estimates for tomorrow ;
receipts and the detailed reports from
the belt showing that the drought in
Texas had been pretty throughly brok-
,H, but fear Of near month manipu-
:al.Ou prevented aggTeSsiveness on the
part of the local bears and during the
middle session the market ruled quiet
and steady ut prices 3 to 4 points up
from the lowest, yielding again to-
ward the close TO light local selling
for both accounts. Last prices were
at practically the low point of the ses-
sion. English futures were under ex-
pectations but the spot sales contin-
ued full and southern spot markets
we're generally unchanged The wet
weather in the southwest was the main

Latest addition to the National Re

CamphOr is one of the ingredients

japanese government has control Ct
the worlds output, it is not certain
that it could be had at times when it
would be most needed.
In order to provide for the future the
United States has started two farms in

Sa. In that island the plants are allow
ed to grow for a time. Then they s.re
cut down after they have become Il ees
and ground TO pulp and the campnor
extracted. In Texas the camphOr seeds
Will be sown like wheat.
When the small shoots have grown
to the height of four or five feet trey
viii be cut a foot from the ground
- the camphor extracted. This gives
Y quicker return in the crop and a bet
