OUR NEW SECRETARY OF STATE
Robert Lansing Succeeds to the Posi-
ton Vacated by w. j. Bryan.


Immediately that Secretary of State
William j. Bryan resigned interest
centered in Robert Lansing, the acting
secretary of state. Robert Lansing is
regarded as an able student of inter-
national law, the private practice Of
his profession having been augmented
in experience by many difficult fed
eral legal commissions, all of which he
has executed with credit to himself
and to his government. Lansing was
born in WATERFOWL, N. Y, on October
II, 1864. He was graduated from Am
herst college in the class of 1886 and
was admitted to the bar in 1889. The
New York lawyers ability first was
recognized in Washington in 1892,
when he was made associate counsel
for this country in the Boring sea
arbitration question. The tact and
skill with which he handled this case
won for him the position of counsel
for the United States Boring sea
claims commission in 1867. He was
also solicitor for the United States
Alaskan boundary tribunal in 1908
and represented the North Atlantic
coast fisheries interests in the arbitra-
ton at The Hague in 1909-10. Last
year he was this country's agent on
the British-American pecuniary claims
commission when that body was in
session in Washington. He was nom
mated on March 81, 1914, to succeed
John Bassett Moore as counsellor to
the department of state.

PRzEMYsL IN HAPPY MOOD.
Occupation by Germans Seemed Time
for Joy.


Przemysl, Galicia.-The first twenty
four hours of the German-Austrian oc.
cupation Of Przemysl was not elapsed
when the town was ringing with the
songs of the jubilant soldiers. The
streets tremble under the rush of mo-
tor batteries, going in pursuit of the
retreating enemy.
Inside the town Bavarian troops were
marching from masses sung in celebra
tion of victory. In the fields outside
the town squads of soldiers and peas
ants are in search of wounded who
may lie amid the tall grain. At every
few PAGES of their advance they shout
then pause to listen for an answering
cry.
The troops marching from mass are
escorted by their bands. They are
cheered as they pass, and at every
turn fresh Austrian flags are flung
windward to welcome them.

METALS USED IN WAR.
Copper, Lead and Zinc Prices Take /;
Bio jump

Copper, Lead and Zinc Prices Take a
Big Jump.
AS to the relative influence the Euro
pean war is having on the metal mar
ket and as to the amount of copper,
lead and zinc that was required to pro-
vide the contesting armies with am
munition, the following statistics, pub
lished by the London Times, which
says they were compiled by "the fore
most living authority on the consump-
ton and use of "copper"" are of inter
est:
According to this writer 1920
pounds of brass are being lost daily,
or 1876, 696,SO0 pounds per annum,
through small-arm and artillery fire
by the Germans and Austrians. Rough
ly speaking, cartridge brass averages
about two parts of copper to one part
of zinc, which would mean for such a
consumption 1OS,565,OOO pounds of
zinc and 217,131 200 pounds of copper
per annum, to which should be added,
say 10,950,OOO pounds of copper per
annum 100000 pounds per day. lost on
account Of rifling rings.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
firing by the allies is at least as great
as by their enemies. On the basis of
estimates of the writer quoted above,
and reckoning only the same consump-
ton by the allies, copper and zinc
would be under consumption by the
opposing European armies to the tune
of 456,25O.00O pounds of copper and
217,175,O00 pounds of zinc per annum
This computation does not take into
account the naval or the Italian, Ash
attic and African campaigns, the fig
ures for which, if added to the fore
going, would represent an aggregate
consumption equivalent to consider
ably over one-fourth of the normal
annual copper production and to per
haps Is per ctnt of the worlds zinc
output"

values down sharply during the

ness passing at first hand, and buy
ers have reduced their offering prices
1O@12c, with bluestem now quoting
at $1.02, and club at csc. The ten
dency is in line with the genera
course of fluctuations in the markets
of this country, where, despite insist
ent reports of crop damage coming
from many sections, the inclination is
to anticipate a decided reaction from
the high price level reached few
weeks ago, with the advent of new
crop domestic supplies.
The feature which most strongly
emphasized as bearish in the local sit
uation is the practical impossibility
of securing assurance of facilities
with which to make deliveries abroad
although the possibilities for the re
opening of the Dardanelles also causes
hesitancy about operating in advance
of an assured position. While export
ers are inclined to the belief that the
market will open up around the dollar
mark for the North Pacific crop, the
situation does not make an accurat.
forecast easy.

THE SPOKANE MARKET.

The weather has been favorable to
the forwarding of crop prospects.
There are increased estimates of the
general yield Of staple farm prod
ucts for the country at large, while
in the Pacific Northwest the condi-
tions could not be better for the
maturing of record outturn In
wheat, the state grain inspector, after
canvass of the principal growing
sections of Washington, stating that
the yield would undoubtedly be the
best in quarter of a century, unless
unfavorable Developments occurred
within the next few weeks. and as the
grain is in much more forward po-
sition than usual, danger from this
source is regarded as remote.
Butter-There has been further i'm.
provement in the butter situation
from the standpoint of holders during
the week. The falling off in the milk
supply, with advance in price to pro-
ducers for condensing interests, has
served to impart an undertone of
strength, and prices are firm at $50
csc, with probabilities of higher rul-
ings.
Eggs-The warm weather during
the week has started hens setting
and there has been an appreciate
curtailment in receipts of eggs. While
the price is holding around the $3.50
mark for Washington ranch stocks,
the market will unquestionably show
steady advances from now on.
Poultry-As forecasted in this col
umn last week, quotations on hens and
chickens have taken another drop, and
the decline also affects BOOSTERS. Fig
ures this week for live weight are:
Hens lie, chickens zoe and ROSTERS
&c; dressed, hens 13@15c, chickens %
@24c and roosters s@10c. The cause
assigned to the slump is increased
supply with falling off in demand.
Dressed Meats-The mutton market
shows slightly weaker tone than
last week, but the quotation remains
the same at 14@15c, with lamb still
ruling at 16@17c. Veal is getting
more plentiful, and is quoted at 800
lac, with pork fairly firm at 12R@
15c, and beef unchanged at 111a@12c.
Cured Meats-Hams have shown a
slightly firmer feeling during the week
and the eastern variety has been
marked up 1c at 17c, otherwise there
is no change as to prices. A moder-
ate improvement is noted in demand.
Hides and Leather-The general
hide market has recovered slightly
within the past week or two from the
weakness which occurred the latter
part of May which was due to slump
in quality and not market conditions
that being the season of poorest take
off," Locally, the market is little
firmer at unchanged prices. Owing
to the war in Europe the leather mar.
ket has been drained of light leather
stocks and as result the market is
strong.
Berries-The strawberry market is
being supplies almost entirely from 10
cal shipments, which, due to weather
conditions, are not of large proper
tons. The market is ruling this week
at So, and from present indications ii
will hold at about that figure for the
balance of the season. Red raspber-
ries and blackcaps are now in the
market and jobbing at So per crate
The gooseberry season is well adj
vanced, with quotations at 81.

HEAVY FIGHTING
IN BALTIC REGION!
THE RUSSIANS AND TEUTONs
ARE LOCKED IN EXTENSIVE
BATTLE LINE.
RESULT FAVORS NEITHER SIDE
Germans Pound Russian Front Heavily
on Rivers San and Dniester-Ad-
vance on the Rawka-Artillery
Engagements a Feature.

London, June 13.-Both in the Baltic
provinces and along the Dniester river
heavy fighting continues between the
Russians and Austro-Germa without,
however, any very material change in
the situation.
The movement forward and back
ward of the battle lines in the Baltic
provinces is almost continual, and
each side has at various times held an
advantage.
New Attacks Begun.
In Galicia the scene of the fighting
has changed. The Germans, baked in
their effort to reach Lemberg from
the south, have commenced an attack
on the Russians on the river San,
north of Przemysl, and along the Dnie-
ster, in southeastern Galicia, and in
their report claim to have been sue
cessful in both sections.
The movement in the southeast re-
sembles that which failed farther up
the Dniester, at Zurawna, but is on a
wide scale. The right wing of the Aus
tro-German army is only 20 miles from
the Russian frontier, while it's left
wing reaches as far as Halicz, where
many attacks have been delivered
against a bridge head. The center of
the operations is Kolomea, from which
points the main attacks which have
carried the Teutonic allies across the
Dniester in several places are being
launched.
Pound Russians on Rawka.
simultaneously the Germans are pro.
ceeding with their attack on the Rus
sian center, on the river Rawka, west
of Warsaw, where they also have been
successful, according to their report.
In the western zone artillery en-
gagements are in progress from the
sea to the Woevre and even beyond
that district, with here and there in
fantry fighting.
With Monfalcone and Gradisca In
their hands, the Italians have begun an
attack on Gorilla Corr, farther up
the IsonZo river, and one of the Aus
TRANS most strongly fortified frontier
positions. The Italians already have
cut the communications to the north
and south Of the town, so that it now
depends entirely on the difficult noun
tain road to the eastward.
