CHINESE PRODUCERS
OF ANTHONY PROSPER
Province of Human Doubles Its
Exports in 1915.

Exports of anthony regulus from
the province of Human, China, in 1915,
we're 100000 pounds, or more than
double those in 1914, the previous high
record year, according TO report from
United States Consul Nelson T. John
on, at Changsha. A corresponding
Increase is found in the export Of anti
nony ash, or refuse, which is being
xported in large quantities to smelt-
rs at Hankow and elsewhere for the
manufacture of anthony oxide and
or the extraction of the fairly large
percentage Of antimony residue left
by the crude refining methods prac-
Used in the past.
The smelling OF anthony has been
thriving business throughout the
province and has been carried on with
primitive methods. The result was
hat large heaps of refuse and ash
lad been left by the smelters scattered
up ard down the interior Of the pro-
ince. 1t did not pay to work the ash
until the financial rise in the value Of
lntimony, due TO increased demands
brought on by the war, sent dealers and
brokers' in search Of these ash heaps.

IN PROSPEROUS TEXAS
Even the Negro Tenant Farmers
Share in the Windfall.

Dallas. Tex, Oct. "A remarkable
condition of prosperity which exists
throughout Texas is having a tremen-
dous benefit upon all lines of trade.
There seems to be plenty of money in
the state, and two years Of bad debts
are being paid off. The corn crop was
good, small grains produced fair yields
and cotton is bringing record price.
Cotton OF only medium quality, with
the seed included, is selling for 500
q bale. Fifteen cents a pound is the
ruling price. The cotton faisers are
losing no time in marketing their crop
and special cotton trains ere moving
south daily TO tidewater. There are
few banks in the state but what are
showing increases in deposits, in many
instances the increase ranging from
% to 90 per cent. Even the negro
tenant farmers are prosperous this
year. Many of them have cleared as
much as 81 900 from their small patches
of ground. The negro farmers admire
bright silver dollars. and the banks are
catering to them in this regard

A FAMINE IN COAL
NOW IS FORETOLD
The Trade Talks OminouSly of a
Shortage in Supplies.

The coal trade is talking Of the seri-
Gus possibility of a shortage in sup
plies. Consumers are recognizing the
danger and, according TO "The Black
Diamond" on no other score can there
be explained the excited buying of coal
now, when there is no immediate need
for it, at prices which show clearly
competitive bidding for the relatively
small amount available Like the man
who delays his Christmas shopping I'M
I'll the last moment, the people are now
going about getting in their coal In
feverish haste.
The situation is pretty well summed
up by "The Black Diamond thus; 1t
does seem ridiculous-a panic for do
nestle coal when mono is being burned.
But there is this to be considered. The
steam demand is enormous. This is
eating into the sizes commonly sold for
domestic use. Right there is the real
cause Of the shortage. The householder
is in competition with the factory and
the factory is working double shift"
