Spelter Plants Profitable

In the shipment of 1888, PSI pounds
CT spelter worth 59,393,O2S there was
set up last year a practically new in
dustry in this country's rapidly grow
ing export trade. Before the Euro
pean war the worlds spelter require
ments, outside the United States, were
met almost entirely from Germanu and
Belgian smelters supplied with Aus
traiian ores, according to Dow, Jones
& Co. With that source OF supply
shut off at the commencement OF hos
tilities, American metal interests
seized the opportunity by making
large plant investments and quickly in
cre4sing spelter output in this country.
The result is that in two years spelter
exports gained over $500 per cent.
The Importance of this business to
tho foundrv's eXports is shown below:

Wheat.-Trsding was Of an evening
up character for over the holiday. The
technical position was apparently
weaker, as a result of the active COW
cring movement of Tuesday. and, con-
sequently, values were easier, closing
with net losses Of &c to 70. Broadly
speaking, the situation was not mate
rally changed. There was a moderate
export inquiry. mostly for prompt or
nearby shipment, and as there is prac-
tieally no wheat for sale at the sea-
board and Western shippers we-" rot
disposed 20 take chances by raSing
contracts for early delivery, in view
OF the railroad situation, .He volume OF
business was small, consisting OF
about 100000 bushels.
Clearances from the seabosrd were
moderate, amounting to 307 900 bush
els, and while the ocean traffic situa-
tion appears to be improving, the car
situation is far from normal. News OF
the new crop outlook was not conclu-
siye. The Price Current said that the
condition of winter wheat III the
United States is probably below the
normal for this season Of the year. due
mainly TO dry weather over the central

BACK TO THE FARM
Slogan Of y. S. Department
OfLabor

If we are to avert the calamity
of very serious food shortage in
the United States, immediate and
concerted action is called for. The
homely expression, Back to the
Farm" significantly expresses the
need of the hour, and every able
bodied man and woman, who can
be spared from their accustomed
employment, is needed somewhere,
either on farm, or some other
branch of the Government service
Boys between sixteen and twenty
one years Of age can also render
valuable aid in the present ex-
traordinary circumstances by vol
unteering their services to assist
in planting and harvesting farm
products during the coming sum
mer. The need for hundreds of
thousands of additional workers in
the agricultural districts of our
country is imperative and the
United States Department of
Labor, charged with the import
ant duty of supplying this badly
