been made at various points on the

pumps ran successfully at the c.. C

COST OF LIVING IN
ENGLAND INCREASING

LONDON, May 90. - There is
no halt in the advance in cost of liv-
ing in England. The index figures
in the London Statist show hat the
average increase in prices OF food
stuffs since the beginning of the
war is 43 per cent. This repre-
sents an increase of about a billion
dollars in the sum expended for
food since August 1. Tho discon-
certing thing about these figures 70
the English student of statistics is
that the greater part of the profit
from higher prices will accrue to
farmers in foreign countries, where
as a hundred years ago, during the
Napoleanic wars, practically the
whole of the advantage of the high
prices then current was reaped by
British farmers and land owners
in normal times a great rise in
prices checks consumption. but so
far as England is concerned the
present advance has failed to do this,
the enormous war expenditure iiav-
ing brought much additional income
to the industrial classes, with the
result that the purchasing power Of
the mass of people has increased
more than sufficiently to provide for
the advance in the cos of living.
Consequently there has been no re-
duction in consumption. In fact
the consumption of food in recent
months has shown expansion rather
than nfr ctiOn

compartment working shaft from the

NEVADA c|NhABAR
SHIPS QUICKSILVER
METAL QUOTED BETWEEN $S5
AND sos PER FLASK OF
75 POUNDS

With quicksilver ranging in price
from SIS to sos per flask of rs
pounds, the Nevada Cinnabar COM
paiy, operating three and one-half
miles east of lone, New, is produc-
ing at capacity. The last carload,
containing SO TASKS, was shipped
from Austin. New, on May 90. The
car shipped on April 16 contained
400 TASKS. But 20 men are employ
ed at the property. In the event that
the metal continues to rise in price,
v1ici, is expected in the neac fu-
ture. since Italy has placed an en-
barge on the metal leaving that
country, the Nevada Cinnabar COM
pany may decide to clean up the
c~ondensers, in which event in the
neighborhood of 1000 TASKS will be
obtained.
Since the time the furnaces be-
came thoroughly charged, which was
about Jan. 1, 1915, the production
has been in the neighborhood of 60
TASKS per week. Experts estimate
that there is enough quicksilver
hanging on the walls of the conden-
sers at present to produce between
600 and 1000 TASKS in the event
that the company decides to close
down the plant and clean the walls.
At the beginning of the war in
Europe the metal was quoted at
$3.50 per flask of Is pounds. The
principal producing countries are
Russia, Austria, Spain and Italy.
Russia was the first country to put
an embargo on any quicksilver leav-
ing the country. Austria followed
shortly afterward and was in turn
followed by Spain. Importation to
the United States continued to drop
off and the price of the metal rose
steadily until it reached 800 per
flask. Properties located in Califor-
mia, Nevada and Texas that had been
unable to operate before the war was
declared began to and the
price of the metal fell off. The sup
ply from Italy increased. With tn:
supply from Italy cut off, producers
are predicting that the metal will
rise to $3.50 per flask. The metal is
used mainly in the manufacture OF
illuminate for explosive caps and for
various other forms of explosive
