which is not noticeably retarded by
the high prices. 1t is reported that
from the standpoint of wholesale
dealers, conditions were never more
favorable. They advise that the
bulk OF orders are from the country
yards, and as crop conditions have
greatly improved. the demand from
the rural districts is expected to be
heavy. Shipments from the mills
continue quite slow and uncertain,
although the car situation is greatly
improved. This is attributed to
the fact that the mills are still
running on reduced operations and
that long standing orders from
Eastern points are being filled. Re
ports indicate that most Of the re-
tail dealers are carrying normal
stocks.
Building permits issued in the ten
largest cities OF this district for
April were nearly one-tOurth less in
volume than those issued during

over the preceding month but a de
'rease of IS per cent from April,

that shipments of manganese ores
used in the manufacture OF paint
glass and chemical products, have
increased and will continue to gain
steadily throughout the summer, il
prices remain high. Inquiries are
being made in this state regarding
deposits and the production OF
chrome and pyrite, both iron prod

The month OF April showed a
distinct slowing down in the min
ing industry of the Missouri Kan
sas-Oklahoma district. The aver
age price on all grades OF zinc
blende dropped from $45 per ton as
quoted in March to S42. This de
crease in zinc ore contributed large
ly to curtailment OF producing
operations. and also to an increase
in surplus stocks. Government CO.
operation has encouraged The oper-
ators to some extent. \ price OF
SIS per ton has been set for the
high grade ores, thus assuring pro-
ducers 4 fair profit Government
and allied contracts will probably
be placed in the near future. The
production OF the district for the
first four months OF this year as
compared with the corresponding
period last year, decreased nearly
II per cent and the value of this
output decreased over 40 per cent.
The lead ore market has also
shown some decline, opening at
SS5 per ton and closing BY the end
of the month at $50. Surplus stocks
decreased slightly during April.

 Another speech in support of war legislation which President Wilson is opposing is planned by Senator Wads- worth of New York, republican mem- ber of the military committee.

 With the dispute over the war bills reaching the senate floor. the military committee plans to close it's inquiry as quickly as possible. After Secretary Baker is examined it will have to con- sder only cantonments and a few minor details of the work of the war department.

 a pamphlet issued by the independent socialists, which has reached Copen- hagen, shows that the strike in Ger many was prepared by them. The pamphlet points out that the pan Germans have brought the peace nego- tiations and the future of Germany into great danger.
 Admiral von Tirpitz, leader of the Fatherland party, after an interview with the imperial chancellor, declared that he was satisfied with the gov ernment's plans concerning the east. Such a declaration, says the pamphlet, proves that the government is in col fusion with the advocates of violence, and just at this moment the reichstag, the only place where the annexation ist policy could be attacked, is closed and other means of criticism made im- possible by the government.
 Our press is gagged, our comrades are imprisoned,' continues the pamph- let. Men and women of the working class, There is no time to lose. After the horrors and horrible suffering we have undergone a new and frightful disaster threatens our people-yes, even the whole of humanity.

Strike Is At Hiqhwater

STOCKHOLM, Feb. 2.-Reports re- ceived here from Berlin indicate that the strike has reached it's highwater mark and is beginning to recede. The majority of the socialists appear to have been half-hearted in their move ment from the beginning, and the strike has been strongly opposed by the Catholic trades unions and by the Hirsch Duncker union. which is the largest non-socialist trades union in Germany.
 Another factor against the success of the strike has been the opposition from the non-socialist parties in the reischstag majoriay block. The Frei- sinnige Zeitung, apparently speaking with authority, declares that the pro- gressive party will have nothing to do with this new tendency in the socialist party and that the socialists alone must accept the consequences of their ac- tions. A notice of the same import has been given by the national liberals and the clericals. and the socialists to- day clearly are face to face with the prospects that if the strike continues the reischtag bloc will be disrupted and the government will be disposed to leave the socialists out of it's councils
