PEACE NOTE GIVEN
TO GREAT BRITAIN
u. S. Envoy Delivers German
Message to Lord Cecil.
PREMIER TO SPEAK TODAY
Lloyd Will Reply to kaiser's
Message in the House of Commons
All Allied Governments
Given Terms.

London, Dec. 19.-The peace note of
the central powers was handled to the
British government by Walter ii. Page,
the American ambassador.
There were no formaities in connec-
ton with the presentation of the peace
proposals by Mr.. Page. The ambassa-
dor went in an automobile from the
embassy and was received in the for
eign secretary's room by Lord Robert
Cecil, who was acting for the foreign
minister, Mr.. Balfour having just start
ed on three weeks vacation.
The note was handed by Ambassador
Page to Lord Robert WITHOUT any COM
ment and the recipient made no refer
ence to the question of peace, simply
thanking Mr.. Page for the transmission
of the message from the central pow
erS.
Cabinet Considers Note Today.
The note will be considered by the
British cabinet today. The next step
after the meeting of the cabinet will
be to get into communication with the
allies of Great Britain so that joint ac-
ton may be taken. This is expected
to take at least a week.
1t has been ascertained that the note
contains no terms and the impression
prevails in official circles that until
these are disclosed Il conference is inn
possible.
The presentation of the German note
Inn
now practically been accomplished.
Germany's Purpose Indicated.
Prior TO receipt of the note by the
British foreign office the deliveries Ia
Italy, Belgium and other countries had
permitted exchanges concerning the
exact official contents which proved to
be substantially the same as given in
the speech made in the reichStag by
Chancellor Won Bethmann-llollweg and
without containing any specific indica-
ton of the terms.
The note was informally presented
without comment. This is taken to in
dictate that Germany framed the COM
municarion so that the neutral inter
mediaries would act only, as forward
ing agents, at least ut tie outset.
Premier Lloyd-George's speech in the
house of commons is expected TO show
the general attitude of the British gov
eminent. Thereafter exchanges be-
tween the entente allies will determine
the nature Of the joint reply, but infor-
nal conferences already have prepared
much of the ground.
Chancellor of the EXchequer A. Bo-
mar Law definitely announced in the
house of commons that Premier Lloyd
George would be present in the house
today TO make his statement regarding
the British governments policy.
1t is hoped that parliament may be
prorogued on Friday, To reassemble
early in February.

 October II, 1915. The Canadian Fishery Order in Council permitting American fish ing vessels to sell their catches in British Columbia ports to be shipped in bond to the United States, was signed March g, 1915.
 The result has been that large number of American fishing vessels have brought their fish to this port and sold them to the dealers here as is showni the table below month by month.
 No American vessels took advan- tage of this privilege during the month of March and only three came here in April. Since that time, however, the number of Amer ican vessels selling their halibuf here and the amount of halibut sold

DELGaIE W|CKERSHAM E HEARD FROM COMMUNICATIONS IN REFERENCE 10 TIE FISH QUESTION

Ihe annexed table also shows that during the same period the a- mounts of haIibut landed at Seat tie, Washington, have decreased steadily and there is no question that most of the American vessels which sold their fish here would have taken the same to Seattle if ues ol pe4lmIed usaq lou pau Asql ii this port as most of these yes sels belong to the Port of Seattle. A number of the larger of the vessels have alternated between this port and Seattle, bringing one catch here and the next to Seattle.
 In addition to the halibut thus brought in there have been a num- Der of small American vessels bringing in salmon and selling it here. This has, of course, also been shipped to the United States.
 The prices paid the vessels for halibut have, on the whole, been higher Tn Seattle than in Prince Rupert during this period, but this difference is offset to the vessels by the saving in time and fuel by sell ing in Prince Rupert rather than in Seattle. 0 f course, this is the case only with the vessels which have been fishing off the Alaskan coast and the coast of northern British Columbia.
 Several of the American fish com panics now have their agents in Prince Rupert and but here and ship to the United States via the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway.

.N RGEST PRODUCTION OF AN TIMONY ORES IN UNITED
 STATES WAS IN 1915

Advance sheets of the United States Geological Survey report in reference to antimony ores shows ? material increase in the produc- ton of that ore in 1915. It also shows an advance in price. The re port in part says that antimony prices in 1915 were probably tine highest known since the metal be- came a regular article of commerce The high prices led to the largest production the United States has made and probably the same state ment is true for the worlds produc- tion.
 -Acording to preliminary figures collected for the United States Geo. logical Survey by Frank L. Hess the production of antimony ores in the United States is estimated to have been about 5000 tons contain ing 2,000 tons of antimony, valued at about S325,000. The largest prev ious domestic production was in 1892 when 150 tons of metal was produced in San Francisco from Nevada ores. and 3S0 tons of ore carrying 55 per cent. of antimony was exported. Practically ali oper- ations of the past year were new, most were small, and they were widely scattered so that it is diff ficult to obtain close figures im- mediately after the close of the year.
 Anthony which in July 1914 had been down to a monthly average price of I'll cents for Cooksons, and from 5.44 upwards for other brands, rose gradually though steadily, to the end of 1915 when Chinese, Japanese and American antimony were quoted at about 40 cents a pound.
 Quotations for Cookson's anti mony ceased in May, 1915, some time after an embargo had been de- clared against the shipment of antimony metal or ores from the British possessions, and 50 cents a pound is said to have been paid for it about June 1st, when Chm csc was selling for about 35 cents or less. In the fall American anti mony appeared on the market for the first time in many years. Az first it sold slightly below Chinese and Japanese, but was soon quoted at the same price. Miners anc smelters, apparently thinking that the high prices would be temper. ary, did not begin production as quickly as they otherwise might have done, but before the close of the year properties in Alaska, Cali fornia, Idaho, Oregon, Utah and Washington were producing.
 Prices for ores ranged from $1.00 to $2.10 per unit of antimony. At first only ores carrying 50 per cent. or more antimony were in demand, but before the close of the year 20 per cent. ores were being shipped from Nevada.
 From Alaska, according to data ellected by Alfred H. Brooks, a.
