Present and Future Metal Prices the
Subject of Comment by Mining Journal

The Engineering and Mining Jour
nal, which ranks among the leading
authorities ON mines and metals, has
the following conservative comment
on the metal market as it is and its
probable future:
Some of the metals that scared to
phenomenal prices have fallen from
their high estate and are going to fall
farther. That is a safe prophecy when
no specification as to time is attached
to 1t. 1t is obviously a matter of time
only, for extraordinarily profitable
prices are bound to stimulate produce
ton to an extent that sooner or later
will reduce things to normal basis,
THE most spectacular decline has
been in quicksilver This metal which
ordinarily is worth $40@45 per flask,
rose to about $500, but is now down
to about 800 in a market that looks
none too good. The advance was in
italy we'll founded, but when 1t had
already gone far, the sellers under
took to boost 1t artiticially and let
their greed run away with their good
sense. The DUPONT powder company
represented the situation to the Brit
sh government. which released suf-
ficient supply to relieve the large con-
sumers making explosives on military
contracts, and the bottom promptly
dropped out of the American corner.
"Antimony Is another dropping war
bride From a price of about 45c per
pound there has lately been a decline
to about sic. Tungsten are has fallen
from about $S5 per unit to about $45.
In both of these cases increasing pro-

to look for several signs indicating the
permanent decline. Among these will

ers who find themselves overbought,
and finally the accumulation of I'M
sold stocks in the hands of producers
The latter have made so much money
during the last year that they will not
be forced to sell In order to get cash
to carry on their business. Therefore
there should be no urgency about
their selling at first and no demoral-
izing pressure until they are confront
ed with the choice of making up their
minds whether they would rather
have money or spelter,
During the last fortnight the spell
ter market has been quietly declining.
There appear to be some of the signs

very strong, but nevertheless indica-
tive. The next six weeks, taking us

scarce with no signs of immediate in
crease but here also the expanding
production must tell in the long run.
Lead also is strong, but not so strong
as copper. Ten days ago this market
was wabbly, but rallied on some more
large export sales being made. The
behavior of this market indicates that
it is about at it's zenith.
"Silver had belated rise and Is
perhaps the freshest Of the metals In
that respect. Having gone up about
so per cent since the beginning of the
year, the cream of the advance has
probably been SKINNED, but there APP

that it may so even higher than at

GASOLINE FROM GAS.
Eastern Companies Preparing to De-
Velop New Source of Supply.
Indianapolis Neys)

A large eastern public utility COM
pany with extensive natural gas hold
ngs in the Cincinnati district re-
Gently announced in its annual state
ment that three plants in it's field were
being erected for the manufacture OF
gasoline directly from gas. Another
concern with holdings in Wyoming Is
said to be planning extensive additions
to its facilities for utilizing gas in this
manner. The idea, oil men say, Is not
new, but has never been profitable be-
cause of the competition of the low
price gasoline produced from oil. The
present high price of gasoline Is ex-
pected to change the situation. Cas-
oline is made from gas by putting the
gas under a high pressure which re-
duces it to liquid.
While the prevailing high price OF
gasoline is largely due to extraordin-
airy conditions which will probably
end at the cessation of the war, the
increased demand due to larger con-
sumption brought by the development
of the automobile industry will prob
ably operate to maintain prices per-
manently at higher level than the
normal before the war. This Is what
the gas men are calculating upon. Elk
pensive equipment would not be In
stalled unless there were prospects
that prices would continue high
enough to make the investment pro-
fitable. The Rittman process, by
which a large amount of gasoline can
be obtained from a given amount OF
oil, far more than by the methods in
general use, is already said to be sue
'cessfully employed. There are still in
existence extensive natural gas fields
whose owners will probably engage in
the manufacture Of gasoline If the
experiments of the pioneer companies
prove profitable.

MARKET FOR TUNGSTEN
STRIKES LOWER LEVEL
WILL AGREE TO PRICE THAT IN
sUREs GOOD PROFIT
TO MINERS.
(Denver Mining Record)

Although the price of tungsten has
thing more like a commercial basis
eastern steel manufacturers still con-
slider the quotations too high and are
inclined to hold off from making long
time contracts, pending a further re-
cession. They are said to be willing
to sign up for deliveries throughout
the year providing the sellers will ac-
cept from $40 to $50 for 60 per cent
tungsten.
Steel manufacturers had orders on
hand calling for large amount Of
tungsten, and these were for hasty
delivery. They had to procure the
black metal at practically any price
and therefore bid aga lst each other,
thus creating a runaway market. AL
though tungsten stocks in the east are
low at present, the same urgency for
large and immediate supply does not
prevail and buyers can afford to be
more independent
Even if tungsten should sag so low
as $40 a unit, which almost certainly
would be the limit low price, there Is
good money in mining it at that fig
ure. The men who invested money
in tungsten mines did not do so in the
belief that the extremely high prices
would prevail, for which the passing
of unusual conditions they naturally
anticipated decline. They did ex-
pect, however, and do expect that the
market will remain strong enough to
absorb all of the tungsten that Is pro-
duced, at prices netting fine profit
to the operating companies.

Each seller views each buyer from his particular angie and each buyer may be different case to each seller. The average, then, of bill pay ing accomplished most fairly express es the proper rating that should be given each buyer.
 The Proper Spirit.
 "The poor ye have with ye always" is as true today as it was nineteen hundred years ago. It is equally true of the poor pay. It may be because the man drinks, gambles, is lazy, is incompetent, is eXtravagant. The wo- man may have the society bee, an enlarged shopping instinct or is waste fui in household economies. The fam fly may be large or there may be sick ness There may have been an un- wise investment. A credit rating usu- ally expresses very little except the ability or the lack of it to meet cur rent obligations. The form is there, the spirit is lacking. The intention to pay, which means so much cannot al ways be incorporated in a rating. For instance, there is the prompt payer who would be dishonest if at any time an opportunity to do so occurred. There is the slow payer whose whole life breathes nothing but honesty. It is not desirable for the merchant to have too many of either class on his books. The former may leave town, the later may cause loss of discounts.
 It is right here that the human ele- ment enters in the person of keen yet sympathetic secretary. When a rating as shown in an association re port appears contradictory the secre- tary can often give such additional data, such as intention to pay, temper ament of buyer, his prospects, his han dicaps, and etc, that the merchant knowing his own resources and cur
