LEAD IS ADVANCED
MATERIALLY FRIDAY
Metal Reaching Toward the
Five Dollar Per Hundred
Pound Mark.

For the second time this week the
American Smelling and Refining COM
pany has increased the market prico OF
lead, another advance from Si.65 TO
SS5 per 100 pounds being reported yes
terday morning. This advance is de-
cidedly welcome To Utah lead producers: !:
IL means more generous earnings on the
present tonnage shipped. while should
the metal reach 10 the So point It Will
bring back TO the producing column g
number or propositions OF Utah and
Colorado whose cost of production Is
such that any price less than So Is pro-
hihitIve.
This advance I'm lead has been antici-
pated by producing circles. for the most
eminent OF lead authorities agree that
the present stocks of the metal are very
much limited, and production is being
outdistanccd by consumption 1t is q.
recognized fact that no new lead mining
districts are being discovered, and only
occasional new mines are being found to
contribute to the available supplies Of
the heavy metal No new large pro-
duccrs have been discovered In late
wears, ard from present indications the
year 1912 will close without bringing
forth any especially large lead discovery.
There is continually increasing de-
mand for lead mines. and the advancing
market price will have the undoubted
OF calling attention TO lead as well as
copper. Copper so far has been the fea-
ture metal. with spelter and silver also
firm marketwlse. or all the metals, lead
so far this year has not shown much of
an advance over last year.

FOREIGN VIEW UPON
THE COPPER MARKET

Henry R Merton G. Co, Limited. OF
London, say regarding copper.
The effect Of the American PRODUCERS
figures upon the copper market has been
Of very transient character, other fac
tors Of far greater Importance and out
weighing the influence OF temporary sta
tisticaI movements Of the metal have
come into prominence and brought fresh
strength and activity TO the market In
Europe It was the more hopeful outlook
for peace between italy and Turkey. and
In the United States the conservative ut
terances OF the Democratic candidate for
the presidency, as well as the publication
Of the government crop report. which
stimulated tho business world with re-
newed confidence and optimism for the
future. Assured OF crop yield Of almost
unprecedented magnitude, America can
now go ahead In the development Of her
wonderful resources, and reap by her
prosperity the fruits OF the patient liquI-
dalton Of fuDdame entail conditions which
make for good trade.
Consumers have at last begun TO evince
some interest in refined copper. and have
been In negotiation for good qualities. but
the intervening relapse in Standard Cop
per has checked for the moment the
frultion OF some important business, As.
however. the trade Is now extremely bare
Of supplies. the buying movement cannot
be delayed for any length OF time. Mean
while the producers remain at their old
price of ia cents for electrolytic, and
again report having sold fair quantities
thereat to American manufacturers.

The reative numerical strength of
the white and black races in south
eEn states Is az matter of deep inter-
est. Students of the race question
look every decade for the light the
new census figures throw upon the
point. In the census bulletin on
Louisiana, published lately, the fact
ia clearly brought out that the
whites have been gaining over the
blacks since 1900. "Of the total
population OF Louisiana, GAL ,085, or
56.S per cent are whites, and 713,-
874, or 43.1 per cent are negroes.
The corresponding percentages in
1900 were 52S and All, respect
lively" Such is the report of the
census OF 1919 The tendency Of
the Louisiana whites to Increase
faster than the blacks began to be
noticeable before the census Of 1900
II we are not mistaken. llliteracy In
the state has declined from 1875 per
cent In 1900 to 20 per cent in 1910.
The foreign born population in
Louisiana Is still small the foreign
born whites constituting only 3
per cent of the total population.
