LEAD LOOKS BETTER.

Encouraging Features Reported by
Eastern Publication.
Reviewing the metal market for
the week ending April 6, the Engin-
eering and Mining Journal has this
to say regarding lead:
1.-THE situation in lead has been
rather peculiar. One producing in
terest has been willing to sell for
April, and in some cases even for
early May at 425c.. New York
whereas other producers and agen-
cies have been quoting 4.S75@45Oc.,
and even up to 4.625c. Some business
was done as high as 4.25c., but those
who were asking the higher figures
sold practically nothing except small
lots to those who were out of touch
with conditions. A large tonnage for
these times however, was sold at
425c An encouraging feature is that
the demand was we'll distributed
among the various classes Of con-
sumers. The premium on chemical
lead is decreasing, not more than IS
points now being asked by any pro-
Queer Demand is slack Lead for
future delivery is scarce and would
be difficult to obtain under 400

May Be Necessary to Adopt Reduced
Scale of Wages.
Upon his return to Spokane last
week after an absence or aDout Il
month. Frank NJ Smith, director of
the Bunker Hill smelter. discussed
the low metal prices and their effect
upon the mines of the Occur d'Alene
district Whether the Bunker Hill
smelter can continue operation. Mr.
Smith said, depended upon circum-
stances. and added:
I'm selling our lead in the east in
competition with the Montana and
Utah lead smelters we are at de-
cided disadvantage owing to the
much lower wage scales paid by those
smelters. To keep running at the
Bunker Hill and successfully com
pete with these other smelters it will
undoubtedly be necessary to make a
reduction in wages in the near future
] have no doubt that our employees
would much prefer to accept lower
wages rather than to see the plant
shut down Ample notice viii be Civ

will pursue"
