Apples in Cold Storage.

According to a statement just is
sued by the office of markets and
rural organization, of the United
States department of agriculture, it
would appear that 10 per cent of the
total amount of apples placed in cold
storage last fall remained in the cool
ers on May l. This estimate is based
upon the reports of 179 firms, and the
progress of the movement from these
plants through the season was as fol
lows In December, 81 per cent of
total holdings; in January, 1871 per
cent; in February, 21.9 per cent; in
March, 25 per cent; and in April, las
per cent, amounting to S9.5 per cent
of all apples held by these storages
on December 1. The decrease in bar
rel apples since that date has been
9O.7 per cent of the total holdings
while boxes have diminished S6.1 per
cent.
Analysing the replies of 25s stor-
ages which reported for April l and
May /, it is found that SO per cent OF
the apples held in storage on the for
mer date were marketed during the
month. In comparison with 1913, when
conditions were somewhat similar, il
is found that lat concerns which re
ported for the two years held 1872 pei
cent less apples than on May 1, two
years ago.

General Trade Conditions.

Bradstreet's says While trade and
industrial conditions continue to move
along generally favorable lines, the
weeks developments disclose some ir-
regularity. On the other hand, wet or
cool weather has checked distributive
trade, and especially retail business,
and at the same time unsettled inter
national political matters tend to
cause wholesale buyers in some lines
to go slow, while the same factor
holds up certain speculative projects.
But, on the other hand, industry is
more active, employment is increasing
and war orders continue to cause ex.
traordinary speed at a number of cen
tiers. Jobbing trade in essential sta
pies appears to be on par with, if
not above, last years. Mail order
houses are doing well. Railway traf.
fic is increasing, buying of steel by
the railroads is larger, bank clearings,
though lighter than last week, dis
pay gains over one or two years ago,

MINING NEWS

Word from Wallace, Idaho, says that
the Hercules mine and mill closed
down Saturday night, presumably on
account of the expiration of the ore
contract About 400 men are employ
ed at the mine and mill.
Activity at the Hypotheek mine
near Kingston, Idaho, is being cen
tered in sinking the main shaft, now
down 1000 feet, work in other parts
of the property having been suspend
ed until this is finished.
After two years of prospecting, the
Security Copper Co. at Chewelah
Wash, has started the new machin-
cry recently installed for sinking to
the 5OO-foot level on vein No. A, nearly
in the center of the vein system, which
is one of the most remarkable in the
camp.
The Rambler Cariboo Mining Co.'s
mill at Three Forks, b. c., is treat
ing about 1000 tons of ore monthly
producing from IT'S to 200 tons of zinc
concentrates and about the same
amount of lead concentrates, and in
addition the company is shipping 80
to 60 tons of crude lead ore each
month.
Fred Russell, who has a lease on
the Alice mine at Mullan, Idaho, is
loading a car of high-grade lead-sil-
yer ore for shipment. The ore has
been taken out in development work
in an effort to reach an old caved
stope in the mine, which is known to
contain a large amount of good high
grade shipping ore.
With copper and spelter at 10 cents
pound; silver at approximately so
cents an ounce, and lead at Az cents
pound, with promising prospects of
cents being reached soon, there is
every reason to believe that mining
companies operating in the Inland
Empire will disburse dividends of be-
tween So 100000 and $S,500,000 in 1915.
Grand Forks, B. Cit is understood
that on the payday for May, which oc-
ours on June 10, each man in the en-
ploy of the CRANKY smelter will find
his pay check increased by about $3.50,
representing an increase of 25 cents
daily in the wages of every man at the
big works. This will be the automatic
result of the price of electrolytic cop
per maintaining an average price OF
over Is cents the pound for the full
month, and will give the 200 employees
of the concern here about $500 more
in wages than they received in April
1t also is expected that the same rule
will operate at the Phoenix mines Of
the company, where some 500 men are
getting out the ores that keep the full
battery of eight furnaces busy nigh
, and day at the Grand Forks smelter
where around 1000 tons of chalcopy
rite ore are reduced daily.
