LONDON, June lg.-The provisioning or
the British Isle Is one OF the marvels OF
the world. The foreign produce imported
is by far the largest item In the national
food bill. II 10 imported from practically
every country on the globe and totals
$.3i5,000,O00 a year. rather less than "A
third Of which is credited to British over

Europe the United States comes next.

India. with sl25.0O0.O00: Canada. with
500, 900. goo; Australia. with s7O.00O.-
00O New ZEALAND. with $50, 900, 900, and
so on through a list OF eighty or ninety
separate countries down to Afghanistan's
modest contribution OF $3.50 worth OF
dried raisins.
In these bills-the figures given are
for lsl2-the largest amounts paid TO
the respective countries were for meat
from Argentina, wheat and tea from In
dia, wheat from Canada, wheat and meat
from Australia, mutton from New zea-
land and wheat and bacon from the
United States. There liz stlll one figure 10
be added which surpasses all the rest
in interest. not on account OF its magni-
tude but for precisely the opposite rea-

States were valued at more than sl25,-

In Europe there are three Countries
Denmark. the Netherlands and Germany
each OF which exports to us food TO
the value OF S50.000.o00 or more. The
Danish and Dutch exports total si05,000,-

seems almost incredible that Denmark,
one OF the smallest countries OF the world.

chiefly butter and eggs, worth more than
a quarter OF the value OF our food i'm

must be made for the fact that Denmark

is Great Britain's largest provisioner.

LONDON. June l9.--That the worlds
stock OF whales IL rapidly declining Is
suggested In the annual report OF the
Fishery board OF Scotland on the Scot.

There was further decline in the catch
OF whales In Scottish waters. the number
falling from 440 In 1912 to 43I in 1919.
During the years 1903 to 1911 the num-
bers had been 100. 6l5 and sos respec-
lively. The decline last year was small
in numbers, but relatively to the number
OF vessels employed 1t was considerable,
the average catch per steamer falling from
10 to 336
As this decline, the report adds II In

grounds OF the northern hemisphere there
seems little room for doubt that the stock

LEAD AND ZINC
OCTOBER MARKET
CONDITIONS FOR MONTH REVis-
ED IN MINING AND sclEN-
TlFlC PRESS.

The chief features of the lead mar
ket In October were two reductions IN
price and extreme dullness, followed by
good buying movement The first
reduction was made on October b,
when the American Smelling & Rein
ing company reduced It's New YORK
price from $40 to 3.60c per pound, and
the second on October I, when there
was a cut to 350c. Both reductions
resulted from the zeal with which the
independent producers went after
business. The st. Louis price dropped
to 3.35c. Shortly after the middle OF
October, the announcement was made
that some of the leading producers In
Missouri and elsewhere had curtailed
their output about % per cent and
this, together with the realization that
the metal was extremely cheap caused
consumers to enter the market and in
some cases to buy more heavily than
their actual needs warranted October
80, quotations stood at 3.50c. New
York, and 3.35c st. Louis.
In October large quantities of spell
ter were again shipped to Europe, es-
pecially Russia, The month opened
with the market on the decline, the
heavy exports of September, estimated
at 1900 tons. having subsidized, while
domestic conditions were duh. The
New York price october was &c;
october 9, 4S5c, and october IS, 475c
Then came new inquiries from abroad
with some from domestic sources also
These, coupled with reports that there
| had been a curtailment of production
caused the market to take an upward
turn, The quotation october % was
$50 to 515c, and on october 80 sos tt
l5.10c. The last export movement In
volved a good tonnage, the quantity
exported October / to &c. being 617s
tons, making a total of over $4,000 tons
since the war started. The steameI
Car for Archangel, Russia from New
York, carried 300 tons.
