When the Standard OH a
few years ago, manufactured a small
kerosene lamp designed especially for
the coolie trade in China, much was
said about the light of civilization be-
ing introduced into one of the worlds
most venerable and backward coun-
tries, 1t was a great achievement, yet
1t was only a development, and a COM
paratively insignificant n of the pc
troleum industry, which came into be-
ing In this country in 1859. The fifty
sixth anniversary of the discovery of
crude petroleum fell on August %. As
has so often been the case when utili-
zation and development were concern
ed. there is a dispute as to the true
discoverer. The record seems to favor
Edwin L. Drake, a railway conductor
who drove an iron pipe into the earth
near Watsons Flats, Pa. From this
primitive well, and the thousands of
others which have since been develop
ed, the country has obtained wealth tc
the value of almost $1,000, 600, 900.
brakes discovery meant light and
power. From petroleum the world now
obtains a variety of liquids. With
crude oil as a basis, modern chemistry
has FASTENED the progress of manu-
l~facture, The earliest product used for
purposes of illumination was regarded
with wonder, There is some reason to
believe that the ancients of southeast
ern Europe used crude oil in their
lamps. and it is known that the an
.%cestors Of the Seneca Indians, in this
country, gathered what they called
rock oil' for medicinal purposes But
1t was not until the civil war period
that the first successful kerosene lamr
was placed on the market. 1t was a
crude affair, dim, yellow and unsafe
but 1t was a marvellous improvement
over the candle. In dispensing artih-
eial light more freely ii gave an I'm.
petus to education and doubtless hne
much to do with the wonderful deyel-
opments since 1859.
The Kerosene lamp has held its own.

The English Market.

Lloyd Georges latest statement Of
Great Britain's needs Is a clear indica-
ton that she will have to buy enorm-
GUS quantities of base metals and
foodstuffs, and whereas copper has
been specifically mentioned along with
foodstuffs as an item that must be had,
this also means spelter, as copper can
not be used in but a few instances
without its natural alloy-spelter-in
the manufacture of brass, brass being
one of the requisites of almost every
war munition hal is used.
While the market at the present time
is very quiet and practically stagnant
yet the fact that zinc producers are
not offering or pushing any stocks Of
the metal for sale speaks for itself, and
there does not seem to be the least
anxiety on the part of the producers as
to the future of this whit, metal.

The spelter market is practically at
a standstill, with prices virtually un.

Der deliveries quoted at IL C says a
recent market review. While the mar
ket does not show any signs of weak
ness, at the same time there are limit
ed Inquiries for this white metal and
few sales have been recorded. The
London market remains practically IN
changed at G6S los, which, If 1t is not
a nominal quotation, places the Amer
lean market In a position to get large
export orders, as at the present pre-
vailing rate of sterling exchange this
is equal to about 1920 cents per pound,
and Is considerably above the Ameri-
can market for the white metal, in
Guiding f~reights, insurance, etc.
Effect of Investigation.
The situation in the spelter market
is somewhat similar to that which pre-
walls in the other base metals; that is
to say, the buying movement which
has been ~oyerhanging the market for
number of weeks past is dependent
almost entirely on the favorable out
come of the present European credit
system which Is now being arranged
by the committee of French and Eng
lish bankers who are at present In
New York negotiating with the lead
ing bankers of the United States. The
present federal investigation of the
so-called smelter trust, which it is
claimed exists to the detriment of the
independent zinc mine operators
promises to result in nothing; that is
to say, the contentious of the indie
pendent operators have not been prov
