The appointment of a scientific and

OUTPUT OF AMERICAN
MINES SHOWS GAINS

SAN FRANCISCO, January S.-To-
ward the close of 1922. according to
to Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran
cisco, some increase in activity in the
deep gold mines of California was
noted, and reporting mines and
dredges operated at 100 per cent of
capacity" The bank points out the
great change in western mining activ-
tiles as compared with a year ago.
Reports received from mine operators
in Idaho indicate that the lead and
silver mines of that state are operat-
ing at approximately so per cent of
normal capacity. One year ago they
were operating at 65 per cent of nor
NAL capacity.
The report continues: "The silver
mines of Nevada have maintained op-
erations at approximately 80 per cent
of capacity throughout the past year.
the lack of f1uctuation in production
being reflection of the fixed price of
81 an ounce paid by the government,
under the Pittman act, for silver from
domestic mines. The copper mines of
Arizona and Utah operated at about
90 per cent of normal during October
and November, whereas one year ago
they were producing less than 20 per
cent of their normal output.

BOND QUOTATIONS
SAG BUT LITTLE
Paris Crisis Fails to Cause
Any Severe Reaction.
French Issues Weak.
BY GEORGE II. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 8.-As far as
quotations went today in the bond
market it looked as if both investors
and spectators regarded the French
adventure as matter that concerned
France and Germany alone.
The only definite weakness in the
bond market appeared in the French
bonds, and even these showed at in
tervals some signs of rallying power.
At the start of the day the Indications
were that the November low for both
French IS and French ia s would be
approached, but good support ap-
peared and for the moment the danger
passed.
Losses Are Fractional.
Elsewhere the market was heavy
and there were many fractional
losses, but this condition was gen.
orally ascribed to the flood of new
offerings with which the week began
and not to concern over the troubles
abroad.
Some of these new offerings.
notably the Armour 5hs and the New
York Central equipments. went re-
markably well. Both were heavily
overSubscribed.
The relative yields of today's new
offerings make an interesting study
as expressing the idea of investment
bankers as to the present market.
For example, the Detroit and Cleve-
land municipals were sold on a 4.25
basis, the New York Central equip
ments on fiat per cent basis, the
Province of Alberta, Canada, 6s on a
81 basis, which was the same as City
of Winnipeg SIS, while a large block of
Delaware and Hudson refunding As
was for sale on a 4.80 basis.
Rail Issues Lower.
With the exception of the United
Kingdom obligations practically all
the foreign bonds were reactionary,
but losses were nowhere as great as
in the French issues.
Speculative railroad bonds, such as
the st. Louis-San Francisco 6s income,
Seaboard Air Line 6s and the Norfolk
Southern 5s, sold off on limited offer
ings. United States government bonds
fuctuated uncertainty.

NOTE BUSINESS GAINS.
Southern Bankers Report Increas-
ing Prosperity.

In view Of the rise in cotton and the
known prosperity of the south, some
figures compiled by the Federal Inter-
national Banking Company of New Or
leans, based on answers to a question
naire sent to els bankers and exporters
by that institution. are extremely in
teresting. Only twenty-five out of the
61S who answered, says the New York
Times, reported business below last
year, and the increase in prosperity at
the beginning of 1928 over 1922 is
placed at the average of % per cent.
Debts made for the production of
crops in 1922 had been Iiquidated S4SS
per cent by the end of the year. Fore
casts of cotton acreage for the coming
year place it at an increase of 1O5S
per cent. Many of the bankers who
answered advised no acreage increase
at all, but better cultivation for boil
weevil control.
In an overwhelming majority of COM
munities reporting there is more or
less increasing effort to raise home sup
plies of food and feed.
