SLICK SPOTS.

Ed. Howe, of Potato Hill, Kansas,
fame. holds that farmers are senti-
mental about organization. that prac-
teal, hard-headed corn growers and
stockmen who never theorize about
farming. easily and repeatedly fall for
theories about cooperative marketing
and other farm organization enter
prises. No doubt this because
farmers see the great need for or
g~anization. and eagerly accept every
message brought to them on this great
problem. There is no greater rural
need today. But il is also a fact that
farmers will have TO stop theOriZing
about cooperation and get busy. They
will have to learn 10 be more patient.
to realize hat the good things they
have been dreaming about canno come
in a day. Moreover. farmers will have
to wake up to the fact that if they
really want cooperation. they them
selves have certain big duties TO per-
fern which they alone can do.
1t Is Time to Go to Work.
The time is here for acting, for
less talk and more doing. What Den
mark and other foreign countries have
accomplished in the way OF coopera-
tive marketing and farm organization
is inspiring. but this has not come by
dreaming. II has taken forty years
of the hardest kind of work. and the
practical reconstruction of the entire
school system TO put Denmark where
she is now. So farmers here must
realize that they will have to exert
themselves for the good things they
have heard about. They u put in
to practice the principles learned
must stop talking cooperation and &C
tually bring this neare by learning
to work for it. They must also learl
to give up individual privileges anC
some independence if they wan L

Steel Trade Review

An extraordinarily heavy demand
continues for all rolled steel products,
but the greatest pressure is for plates
sheets, tin plate and structural shapes
for shipbuilding. The government re-
ouirements for various products are
causing some necessary redistribution
of semi-fnished steel among the finish
ing mills, resulting in the stimulation
of output Of sheets and tin plate at
the expense Of wire products and some
miscellaneous forms. The advance of
Sc a ton in the price of wire products
by four Independent manufacturers
may be partially due to the cutting
down OF output.
The United States government IS
especially concerned about the produc-
ton of tin plate, that there may be an
ample supply of tin containers to CON
serve the food supply during the com
ing season for the army and navy.
Manufacturers of tin plate have prom
ised to push the output as much as
possible, and this will require larger
drafts on the sheet mills.
Ore interesting development is the
increased demand for soft steel bars
and special steel from agricultural ma
chinery manufacturers, who are pre-
pairing to greatly increase output IN
order to assist the government cam
uaign for intensified farming. From
this source alone comes demand for
several hundred thousand tons Of steel.
Current buying Of railroad equip
ment has been reduced to very small
proportions, but domestic roads have
suddenly come into the market for a
LARGE tonnage of rails for delivery in
the last quarter of 1918 and the first
quarter Of 1919. II is estimated that
fully 100000 tons are now under
negotiation. Sales in the last few days,
amounting TO 100000 tons, include 49,
900 tons of rails for France and $4,000
tons for Italy, the balance being for
the Northern Pacific.
The Carnegie Steel Company will
furnish $4,000 tons Of plates and
shapes for torpedo boat destroyers for
the United States government Thus
far the Steel Corporation has borne
the brunt of the navy steel require
ments, but steps are now being taken
10 distribute orders more equitably
among independent plate and struct-
ural mills.
There is some concern regarding the
outcome OF heavy concessions on prices

Butte & Superior
Dividends in 1916
Exceed Earnings
Gain in Gross Receipts Less
than Increase in Oper-
ating Expenses

Dividends paid by the Butte and Su-
perior Mining Company in 1916,
amounting to s9,49O,43O, were s6l6,9S4
in excess of the amount earned, accord
ing to the annual report. The deficit
was made up from the surplus account,
which at the close Of the year stood ct
S6,237,9 65. Cash on hand on December
81 last amounted to 1858 500. compared
with s2,12S,1S7 on hand December 81,
1915.
Gross earnings last year totalled 3d.
1851, against S12OS7,117 the previous
year. but owing mainly to an increase
of 81 336.455 in operating expenses net
profits were S262O2l under those of
1915. The surplus after all charges be-
fore dividends was Ss,873,446, the
equivalent of s3O.57 a share on 290,1S7
shares of capital stock, compared with
s33.47 a share earned on 272,697 shares
in 1915.
D. C. Jackling. managing director,
says in the report:
"The total ore milled for the year
was 627,37O tons, the increase over the
previous year being about 100000 tons,
or approximately 90 per cent. The
average contents of the ore as to the
two principal metals were 1855 per cent
zinc and 6.57 ounces silver, reduction
in zinc of about ~ per cent and IN
silver of about ounce per ton, as COM
pared to 1915. The large tonnage OF
ore milled served as an offset to in
creased cost of labor and supplies to
the extent that the milling costs were
only slightly above those of 1915.
Estimates Of ore reserves as of De-
cember 81 show 1,O44,S50 tons, con-
tanning an average of III per cent zinc
and 5.65 ounces silver. Total ore mined
for the year was 626,8OS tons, at an
average cost of $3.50 per ton, exclusive
of taxes. or $1.14 more than the aver
age cost for the previous year This
difference is entire accounted for by
the difference in labor and supply
costs"

Sub Treasury. - New
Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The foreign exchanges again last
week were largely under the control Of
influences arising out of the entrance
of this country into the war against
Germany. The fact that of our enor-
nous financial resources $4,000, 100000
is to be placed shortly to the credit of
the Allies has been the signal for
improvement in the exchange position
of those members of the Entente which
are most needful of financial assist
ance. Italian exchange, for example,
has been unusually strong and has
risen more than a Ira to the dollar
above the rate of a month ago. The
rate at the end of the week was
around SOS lire to the dollar, compared
with a recent low record quotation of
7.89. 1t seems likely that Italy is to be
given substantial credits as soon as
the proceeds of the American loan are
available. Russian rubles, while not
so strong as lire, have shown tone of
pronounced frmness with a rate of
around 2S.75 cents. Francs and ster-
ling bills have not moved much owing
to the arbitrary control which the
Allied bankers are still exercising over
these exchanges. 1t is worth noting
that since the first week this month
there have been no gold imports on
British account, natural development
now that the Tilted States has become
banker TO the Allies.
One of the most important develop
ments because of its bearing on the
general exchange situation has been
the appointment of a committee Of
local foreign exchange experts to act
in an advisory capacity for the Admin
istration in regard to matters dealing
with practical problems of interna-
tional finance. The members of the
committee are all practical exchange
bankers who know the market thor
oughly. One member was called in
for his advice at the time the Allied
banking representatives undertook
their programme for the maintenance
of sterling exchange on a workable
basis. The committee has begun its
labors and is scrutinizing closely all
prospective gold exports out of the
country in an endeavor to stop such a
movement when it is being fostered by
alien enemies. Moreover, any exchange
operation savoring of enemy interest is
banned. The local committee CORE
spends to similar organizations abroad,
especially in London, where all doubt
full exchange operations receive a most
thorough investigation before they are
passed.
If you calculate the cost of the dollar
in terms Of foreign money-that is, as
if you were buying dollars with pounds,
marks or francs-its value at the close
of last week, as compared with a year
ago, would be about as follows:
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-04-22

can dollar. You buy an English pound
sterling for s4.759.. the intrinsic par
ity is s4.s6s per pound. Thus, you
say either that pounds are at a dis
count or that dollars are at pre-
MUM. which is owing to the fact that
in England the demand for dollars
with which to settle accounts in this
country is greater than the demand in
this country for pounds with which to
settle accounts in England.

Of steel products TO the government
but with capacity oversold and the de-
mand never so great on domestic ana
foreign account, manufacturers do not
anticipate any serious decline in prices.
Producers of raw material that enters
into the manufacture of steel, however
are likely to be called upon to make
concessions to the government.
The largest structural orders closed
include 5000 tons for the Norfolk
Navy Yard and $500 tons for the
League Island crane runways. Pig iron
sales aggregated 100000 tons, with
foundry grades higher in the East.
