LUNING CENTER OF
NEW MINING INDUSTRY

Production OF red oxide for the man
ufacture OF mineral paint is progressing
OH profitable scale at the Richmond
Calf, plant of the Luning Con, Silver
Mines Co, of Nevada, said A. S. Wool
berg, director Of the company, who
was i'll Reno en- route to the mine in
Mineral county. The plant, erected
at an expense of 100000, treats five
tons per day and the ore. besides pro-
drcing that amount Of good paint
material, yields $40 per ton in gold
by cyanidation sufficient to pay mine
and mill costs and transportation from
the mine.
Discovery OF the value OF the iron
oxide ore, as a product for making OF
paint was brought about more than a
year ago through the curiosity OF a
painter who occasionally speculates in
mining shares. In the office of Her
mann Zerdig, his broker he saw a
piece of the ore and scaled off a
piece OF the stuff with his pen
knife He submitted ii TO crude
Test with inseed oil and reported it
made fair grade of paint A chem
ist was consulted and as the result Of
his report the mill was built A
complicated process is employed
which it took considerable time to per-
feet. A second unit is now to be in
stalled which will double the capacity
and also turn out a vermilion red.
Later the company pans to make white
lead and other products
The iron oxide found in the Luning
mine is free from the deleterious in
gradients, such as arsenic and lime and
is said to be the only known deposit
OF its kind in theworld ESD lin
of its kind i'll the west The product
is chiefly Used in the manufacture OF
mineral paint The principal supply
formerly came from Allentown, Pa,
but the mill there recently was burned.
increasing the deamnd for the local
product on the coast far beyond the
capacity of the Richmond mill to sup
ply.
Besides the iron ore, of which a
large deposit las been developed, the
company is mining a good grade OF
gold quartz from another part of the
vein which is to be shipped to a mill
at Millers. Two carloads shipped this
year averaged $35 per ton. Mr.. Woll-
bere's visit was inspired by a message
from A. l.. Lowe. consulting engineer.

Nevada Labor Condition

While the unemployed situation is
not so acute in Nevada as in other
states, Frank w. Ingram, Commits
sioner of Labor is sending out GEO
questionaires to known a~d supposed
employers of labor, with view OF
getting this data which will clearly
show the present condition. as well as
the tendencies to be considered.
The practice has been an annual
one for some years, but this year it is
especially important, and Mr.. Ingram
requests that those receiving the ques-
tions make SPECIAL effort to assist in
the work by promptly answering the
inquiries presented on the blank
II a representative set OF replies can
be had, it will be possible not only to
make an accurate statement OF Tie
labor supply and demand, but also thf
tendency of wages and to forecast con
ditions for the coming season.
All OF the reliable data on costs o
ilNliS, wage lGiidtlkSiSo, idBOl QcHidHii
and labor supply, which is furnished
by the Federal Government Depart
ments, is derived from answers to
similar questions as well as from per
sonal Investigations by agents who's
salary the Government is able to PAY
The State Department of Labor is
endeavoring TO perform similar use
ful service, but is greatly Handicapped
by lack of funds. If those receiving
the questions, whether they be EN-
ployers or not, will take five minutes
to reply the work will be greatly ia
cilitated, and the net result will be OF
distinct benefit to the employers as
we'll as to employees.
The information received cannot be
given out, under penalty OF law, cx

private information will be betrayed.

BEARISH EXPORT BUSINESS CAUSES
 SLUMP IN WHEAT
Rx Associated PXss Xss

Chicago, June 3.-Sharp set backs in the price of wheat took place today after the market had touched new high record quotations for the July delivery. Slowing down of export business count ed as bearish factor, and so too, did ideal weather conditions. The finish was heavy at 3A @3Ac net decline. Corn lost 1A @2c and oats % ole. In provisions the outcome varied from 21a cents decline to cents advance.
 Wheat values began to break as soon as the opening figures were posted showing that the seasons high price record had again been out done. IT. this connection it was said that large offerings to Europe over night had not been accepted, and that Italy would need only 40,000,000 bushels of wheat this season as against 110. 100000 bush els imported last season. Bears also made much of assertions that prevail ing cool, cloudy weather would great Iy facilitate the proper filling of wheat, and that crop estimates were likely to be revised upward. Gossip was cur rent too that assessors returns showed much larger acreage than was i'm dicated by the government. Some east ern buying on the declines caused one than counterbalanced later as result of arrangements to start trading in the September delivery here without fur ther delay.
 Corn~and oats were depressed by a renewal of large receipts of corn. The arrivals of corn were estimated to total 700 cars. Provisions averaged lir- tie lower in sympathy with grain and hogs.

BOTH SPECULATIVE AND STANDARD
 SHARES HAD LOSSES
Cuban Cane Dividend Came as Surprise, That Stock Dip ping Some Thirteen Points
 on Heavy Offerings
By Associated Press

New York, June 3.-Liquidation and short selling effected further price inn pairment in the stock market. Stand ard shares lost l to points, while speculative issues fared even worse.
 Pressure accumulated through tight money, indications of trade depression and further dividend ommissions. Chief among these were Cuba Cane Sugar and Armour Leather, while in- ternational Harvester announced cut in the common dividend.
 The Cuban Cane dividend action evil dently came as surprise. That stock sustained an extreme loss of 13 points on heavy offerings, which included a block of 4.o0o shares.
 Other sugar shares were extremely weak, as were many food stocks, motor subsidiaries, cheaper oils, chemicals and shippings. Rails were dull and ir- regular throughout. and efforts of bull pools to elevate some secondary speoialties met with slight success. Weakness ruled at the close.
 Yesterdays furry in money was not repeated. Call loans opened and re- newed into next week at 12 per cent, a quotation that prevailed throughout the session. Rates for time funus W ere unaltered, but supply diminished and few dealings in commercial paper were reported.
 The heaviness of foreign exchange. particularly sterling, was associateu with selling from London on reJection by British coal miners of the govern ment's proposals. German ana ureeh remittances alone showed comparative strength.
 The chief feature of the bond mar ket was a rally in Liberty 34as. Ihes closed at ST 30, a net gain or silgnliS more than 1 point and almost 7 polnts above yesterdays low record or oo. Other Liberty issues showed hiAeu gains and losses, and the general bona list was irregular. Total sales, par value. S14,675,000.

DUN's REVIEW
By BRIGGS
By Associated Press

New York, June 3.-Dun's tomorrow will say: Another month has passed without general Recovery in business. but conditions are steadily working to- ward a stronger and sounder basis. Changes that are essential to revival have long been in progress, and there is hope that a more decisive turn for the better will be witnessed after the ending of summer. With special causes for hesitation, the present situation is marked by waiting in many quarters, the disposition being tos-defer impor- tant action until necessary readjust- ments have been extended. While ex. captions to this policy appear in cer- tain instances where liquidation has seemingly been completed, the attitude of most buyers is reflected in their persistent disinc1ination to operate be- yond immediate requirements, future price considerations being a factor. That the yielding in some commodities has~been checked is evidenced by the smaller number of declines in Dun's list of wholesale quotations, but the prospect of additional recessions is as- signed as a reason for the withholding of demands in not a few lines, and this phase is still prominent in the great iron and steel industry.

LIQUIDATION WAS READILY ABSORBED
 IN EARLY TRADING
General Staple List Closed Steady, at a Net Advance of Ten to Fourteen Points
 on the Day
By Associated Press

New York, June 3.-Further light scattering liquidation was readily ab- sorbed in the cotton market during to- days early trading and after selling off to 13.39c, October rallied to 13.5Sc or IS points net higher. The close was at 1S.57c for that position with the general market closing steady at net. advance of 10 to fl points.
 Liverpool was little better than due, and the market here opened at decline of one point March, but gem orally unchanged to 3 points higher There was a little scattered southern selling as well as continued liquida- tion by holders who had been disap- pointed by the failure of low end May condition figures to create broader demand. These offerings sent prices about to points net lower shortly after the opening, July selling off to 12.61c and December to 13.S0c A fav- orable weather map probably increased the disposition to liquidate long cor tracts but the selling was very light following yesterdays reaction, and the market turned steadier during the afternoon on covering. July sold up To 12.S2c and December to 1898, or II to Ia DOlntS net 0lBHGT anu lllS SlcSC WhS within a point or two of the best. Ac- cording to private cables received here this morning there were rumors In Liverpool that a basis for a settlement of Lancashire wage disputes had been agreed upon. Later reports were pub lished that Lancas shire mill owners were threatening to close down, but they failed to disturb the market which, generally speaking, was extremely quiet with 8 steady undertone. There was some comment upon the compara- tive absence of southern selling at the decline of about half cent from re- cent best prices and some were in- clined to connect this with the posslbie influence of bu1lish end May crop re- ports. Reports from the goods trace indicated small but steady demand from China for sheetings and drills. Sales of print cloths in the Fall river market for the week amounted to So,- 900 pieces and mill curtailment was re- ported on about the recent sale with some improvement looked for nexs week.

WEEKLY COTTON REVIEW
By Associated Press

New York. June 3.-The feature in the cotton market during the past week was the publication of the gov ernment's first condition report of the season. This was very closely in line with the average of private reports previously issued, however, and failed to stimulate the market Evidently
 it's lack of bullish effect was a dis appointment to scattering holders Of contracts and there were reactions fol- lowing it's publication. Realizing or liquidation was promoted by reports of fav@able weather in the south, the continuance of the British labor trou
 bles, and feeling that holders of spot cotton in the south were willing to supply buyers on comparatively slight advances. Otherwise, however, no sell ing pressure was reported and the market was very quiet toward the end of the week with the undertone steady.
 The government report making the condition of the crop 66, was fully 19 points below the 10year average. It gave no figures on the acreage planted this year or the indicated crop, but the private reports which had made the condition 65.6 on the average. pointed to reduction of 29.7 per cent in acreage and placed the indicated yield at only 7,500,000 bales. The opin- lon is expressed by local brokers that tho market has not yet accepted such low figures as serious forecast of the yield and recent better weather has encouraged the hope of some such improvement from the late start as that which occurred last season. Ac- cording to the governments final fig ures, the acreage planted and under cultivation on June 25 last year was 37,043,000, compared with the prelim- mary estimate of 35.504,00 and i1 spite of the low initial condition last years crop turned out IFS pounds to the acre, or shade above the 10-year average No fresh development has been reported with reference to plans for financing exports, and no special change has been noted with referenc to conditions abroad. Rather confliE- ing reports reached the trade today re, garding prospects for settlement or the wage dispute in Lancashire, prl- vate cables stating that an agreement was expected while there were also reports that mill owners were threat ening to close down if operatives did not accept the proposed reduction in wages. Some of the Corlina mills have been closed because of labor trou- bles. but a fairly good business has been reported.
