Calcium Chloride.

Calcium chloride is made from ma tUral primes found in Michigan, Ohio, and West Virginia. As the same primes yield salt and bromine, practi- cally every constituent in them is turned to profit. Calcium chloride is used as the circulating fluid in re frlgerating plants. in cement concrete, and in automobile gas engine water jackets to prevent freezing, and on account of it's power of absorbing moisture. for laying dust on roads, drying gases, vegetables, and fruits, and dehydrating organic liquids. Cal cium chloride in solution Is especially valuable in automatic sprinkler sys- tems and in fire buckets.
 According to, the United States Geological Survey. Department of the Interior. :. the quantity of calcium chloride produced from natural primes and sold in the United States has re- gently been about 20,000 short, tons year.. valued at s6 to S6.50 ton. In 1916 the production from natural primes was 26,G62 tons. valued at s216,729, equivalent to ss.31 ton:

.Deep Salt Bed.

In Kansas a deep well struck rock salt 690 feet below the. surface and pentrated 600 feet of rock salt in beds from five to; sixty feet thick. according to the United State Geological Survey. department of the interior. A large area in this state is underlain by salt. which is mined by many shafts and obtained by pumping brine. Drilling for oil in Texas and Louisiana has re- vealed the presence of tremendously thick deposits of rock salt at a. depth of a few hunderd feet. Thicknesses of 900 feet are common, and one drill hole passed through more than 5000 feet of rock salt. Nose. of the salt made in Utah, Is produced by evapor- ating the water or Great Salt Lake
 and in California by evaporating sea water. These sources are inexhausti- ble. and the limit of production by so- lar evaporation will therefore never be reached. " ...

west territory turned loose another
big run of porkers and as a result
prices broke sharply. In a general
way the decline was figured mostly

start being only quoted as 5 "a loo
lower. Top for the day was $685..
while the general bulk of sales rang
ed from $14.50@ 14.S0.
Big end of the 1890 cattle that
arrived today were kinds suitable to
go to packers. consisting for the
most part of fed steers and a fair
showing of grass cows and heifers
from nearby pastures. Trade tone
was healthy and prices were held to
a steady position. Stockers and feed
ers We're in small supply and the
market showed little change from the
previous day.
Business on sheep showed a weak
undertone. in sympathy with bearish-
ness from outside points.
