The top prices of the year with
a basis of $45 for zinc blende, es.
tablished the week previous held
last week with decreased produc-
ton in all camps, especially An.
rora and some of the eastern
camps, which were flooded. The
expectations of producers that
zinc would soar to a dollar higher
figure over last week failed to
materialize.
Quotations on spelter remained
at S. throughout the previous
week in St Louis, while London
quotations reached $500. This
variance has been a surprise t.
operators in the district, because
St. Louis spelter quotations as a
rule are higher than London's.
Lead has shown a tendency to
move upward, bringing SOB dur
ing the last week, which is 81
better than the week previously.
Some operators report a price OF
500 on sales made at the latest
moment last week. The price
prevailed through the earlier part
of the week and held firm until
the last. Lead was quoted al
S4.45 in st. Louis.
Calamine also scared somewhat
with prices increasing from S22
to S24 of the previous week to as
high as $40 during the last week.
The Increase in this ore is proba..
bly, due to the scarcity because Of
the closing down of most of the
outlying prospectors' camps BY
the heavy foods three weeks ago.
The prevailing high price oil
zinc is expected to continue mp
ward, and with this. prospect in
view many of the old producers
have been overhauled during the
last week, with the expectation |
of getting back in the turn-in |
column again. 1t is thought by |
that the demand for
ore is going to surpass the SUI
ply for some time.
An increase in the quotations
on spelter are looked for during |
the coming week. Buyers during |
the last two weeks have had a
pull to get sufficient ore at the
best prices. While second grade
ore has sold in carload lots at
S44, the demand for the higher
grade blende has brought as high
as $4s for choice lots.
Operators who had been sell
ing under contract have been
selling in the open market dur
.ug the last two weeks. The
producers of high grade ore ex.
oect to control the situation and
iorce the price up to $50 soon.
Many of the large operators are
till holding out for this price to
prevail.
