several million dollars in the stock
crash that followed the Wilson peace
note, acknowledged that information
on which the clean up was made
came directly through official Wash

Lawson's statement followed by
only a few hours a statement from
Secretary Lansing, in which the let
ter said that his department would
welcome any Investigation into the
alleged leak that placed the advanced
information in the hands OF the big

State Department at the same time
shifted the responsibility onto the
shoulders Of the newspaper men,
claiming that number of them had

about it,

Birth Of Al Industry.

Potash salts were produced in the United States in 1915 to the value of Ss42, 900, accordihg to the United States Geoiogicaf Survey. Though this figure is of interest as showing a small beginning in the domestic potash industry, it becomes of little import ances if the total needs of the country are considered. for it represents quantity consumed in less than weeA under normal eonditions.
 In the Survey report on the subject, w 0. Pha'en states that potash was recovered within the United States as n fv-product from the -nanufa cture of Portland ceTnent at Riverside. Cal.

 Potassium su1phate from alunite was first placed on the market late in Cc- 1ober. 1915. by the Mineral Products Corporation, at Marysyile, Utah. The production has not bebn large so far, osxfnst to the incidents connected with pioneer enterprise of this character Though certain foreign deposits of aIuriite have been worked for potash alum, this is the first recorded yield or potash salts as such from aIunite- The product is of high grade.
 The plant of the Potash Products f co, of Omaha, Nebraska, was estab- lshed in the spring of 1915 at Hoffland near Alliance, in the northwestern part Of the State. During about half of the year the company obtained potash salts from the brine of an alkaline lake In this region In addition to output from the above sources, potash was marketed in l 91 5 from ke1p obtained along the Pacific
 Exne14rnentaI work Oh the produc- lion of potash salts from different sources was active during the year, and in places this activity has been plants Operations are in progress at Searles Lake and at KeeIer, on the shores of Owens Lake, Cal It is re- tported that one company is erecting a plant near Great Salt Lake and that an@thers will soon be started at the south end of the lake The by-pro- duet bitfern at solar evaporation plants on San Francisco Bay hasia1so receiv- ed some attention

I 9o6, when it sold for short time between 71 and 72 cents, that price being followed by a rapid fall China has been taking a little more silver than for some months past, but exports to India during the first quarter of 1916 showed a very considerable decrease from last year. According to the Engineering and Min ing Journal, the English mint has been a heavy buyer. France and Rus sia have taken large quantities. The silver coinage now being put out in Europe is unprecedented. The exig- encies of the war have practically eliminated gold from circulation.
