Washington has not as yet given
an indication of the date when it
will seek funds in the capital market
with new bond issue. Advices from
the Treasury Department during the
week indicated that an offering of
S150,000,000 of one-year 8 per cent
certificates of Indebtedness would be
made, but this is not absolutely de-
cided upon. This remains, there
fore, as a continuing uncertainty,
and many important investment in
terests are disposed to await>its de-
velopment. The Treasury now has
five alternatives by which it may
raise funds in the open market:
One-year per cent certii-
Gates of Indebtedness. $500, 100000
Fifty-year per cent bonds
to cover expenses incl

Announcement is made that the
directors have decided TO enter into the
mining and smelling business in Chile
and have purchased the Caldera
smelter. together with a minerallzed
zone. including many mines, which are
but imperfectly developed. There has
also been purchased the stock OF the
Carrizal Smelling Company.

turning out about 600 tons monthly,
and an addition is now under construc-
tion which il is hoped will result IN
production Of $4,000 tons Of pig tin per
annum after about July !. 1917
Additions 20 the copper smelling and
refining plants during the year and the
completion of the construction pro-
gramme now under way will give the
company capacity for producing l.
100000, 900 pounds of electrolytlc cop
per annually. The company is now
looking TO new sources for lead. and IS
developing mines in Missouri. Con-
struction has been completed of sui

The Italian government has fixed
maximum prices for the forthcoming

prices will encourage the sowing of
spring wheat and the application of
fertilizers TO areas already sown, which.
it is feared may have suffered from the
bad weather.

tons. the Russian Imperial Purchasing
Commission arrived in Canada, having
equal authority with the corresponding
