United States Smelling

The United States Smelling Refining
& Mining Company should get the
largest benefit from the rise in the
price of silver because it is the
greatest producer. Besides this, it is
profiting by the improving political
conditions in Mexico. It's silver output
in 1918 was 1887 ,456 ounces out of
the total American production of about
74,000,000 ounces. It's silver sales
greatly overshadow those of copper,
lead Or zinc-which is not true of our
other largest producers. Hence with
this company the high price of silver
is much of an Offset to the slump in
other metals-so that it's earnings
should hold better than those of other
smelling and copper companies. Last
year the common earned $3.50 and
this year it ought to earn from 50 to
s12, according to the present outlook

Silver Stocks Strong

In sharp contrast to the weakness in
the oil shares was the strength dis
played by the stocks of those COM
panies that should benefit from rise
in the price of silver. In this class
were Anaconda, American Smelling
and Refining, Cerro de Pasco and
United States Smelling and Refining.
The latter company is credited with
having the largest body of silver ore
in the world.

Throughout the Street the commits
