PRICE OF ZINC ORE LOWER
Slump, However, viii be Only Tenn.

Are Holding Product.

The zinc ore market for the week
closing July 8 brought drop Of SIS
a ton as a base price, $50 being the
top figure paid. This slump followed
one of the week previous when there
was a drop from $50 to SS5.
Lower prices for zinc ore followed
a decline in London spelter quota
tions. The New York and st. Louis
spelter markets for the week were
dull also. This is believed to be
caused by a temporary oyerstocked
condition among consumers. Users of
the metal seem to have enough stock
on hand to tide them over period OF
a month at least, and there is little
probability of an immediate increase
in prices.
The fading away of prospects of i'm
mediate war with Mexico this week
also had a depressing effect on the
zinc market. 1t is conceded, how.
ever that the preparedness move and
the increase in the size Of the army
and navy will have an exhilarating eff
feet on ore.
Owners Of mines producing a great
quantity of ore have shown tenden-
cy for the past two weeks to hold their
product for better prices and sales
have not been as heavy as usual. They
feel that heavy buying move is not
far in the future and prefer to hold
their ore through the dull period with
a possibility of reaping large profit.
While most mine operators are not
sanguine enough to believe that the
worlds record price of S135, set in
February. will be equaled soon, they
are confident that the price will be
above 800 before Sc eptember 1

DEATH
Plays Havoc with the Chamber
Of Deputies in the City Of

PARIS, July S.-Two more deaths
have brought the number of vacant
seats in the chamber of deputies to
thirty-four, including two seats de-
clared vacant for election irregularl-
ties. The chamber is now composed
of 566 instead of 500 deputies.
There are thlrty-two seats vacant
in the senate through the death Of
members since the elections of 1914.
Since no elections will be held during
the war, one department, the Hautes
Alpes, whose two senators have died,
will be unrepresented in the senate
until after peace has been declared.
OF the thirty-two deputies who
have died, seven were killed on the
battlefield, while one senator, the av-
iator Emile Raymond, died in serv-
ice.
