without any effect on the rest Of the
market increased in volume, carrying
| nearly a score of issues to the lowest
points of the year. Among these were
Electric Refrigeration, National Cloak
and Suit, Manhattan Electrical Sup
ply, and most of the fertilizer stocks,
including American Agricultural, In
ternational Agricultural and Virginia.
, Carolina Chemical issues.
Earlier in the day, the combination
of short covering and renewed out
side buying lifted a number of rep
resentative industrials two to six
points These included U. S. Cast
Iron Pipe, Du Pont, Coca Cola, Am
erican Smelling, Allied Chemical,
United Cigar Stores and U. S. Indus
trial Alcohol.
Commodity markets displayed a
better tone.
Another sharp rally of "a of cent
in Norwegian kroner divided interest
in foreign exchange trading, with a
jump of more than fifty points In
Spanish Pesetas.
Call money held at FIVE per cent all
day with sufficient offerings for all
demands.
Bond trading broadened out con-
siderably and prices forged ahead
without interruption. Prospects Of
easier money conditions after the
government has completed its large
interest payments tomorrow encour-
agd buying of investment issues.
Arrangements were completed for
the sale Of one of the largest for
eign loans Of the year next Monday,
when S42,500,000 Chilean government
six percent bonds will be offered at
SO IA.
Advance applications which have
been received through nationwide
banking syndicate already exceed the
amount of the issue, portions of
which have been withdrawn for sale
in Europe and Canada.
Buying interest was revived In
many foreign obligations today, with
various French and German issues
making strong showing. French
Fights crossed 105 to new high for
the year and French 1-2s and Ger
man rs were within fractions of their
1925 records.
Railroad liens kept pace with the
upturn in the carrier stocks, being
strengthened by the outlook for fur
ther improvement in earnings as
result of the heavy fall traffic. Della

broadening out Of export business
came in spite of another big advance
in ocean freight rates, making a jump
of 100 percent compared with recent
charges for vessel space to carry
wheat to Europe. Word that the po-
tato crop of central Europe is of less
volume than last year, and will in
crease demand for bread, was also
given special notice.
Frosts in Argentina were not con-
sidered particularly serious but they
added zest to the late buying in the
wheat pit, inasmuch as earlier the
bears had put considerable stress on
reports pointing to confined excellent
crop conditions south of the equator,
Australia and Argentina in particular.
Talk of probable early settlement of
the British coal strike was heard in
some quarters and was put forward
as n reason for the enlarged export
buying. 1t is the necessity of moving
coal abroad which has chiefly made
boats scarce and ocean freights very
high for grain.
Corn trading was sluggish and low
er most OF the day but rallied at the
last with wheat. Oats were strength
ened by reports that North American
production of oats, and world yields
as well, are notably less than last year.
Most deliveries of provisions scored
a material advance in price, selling
apparently having been overdone, and
hog cholera consequences not wholly
allowed for.

DAIRYMEN MAKE BIG MONEY

University of Arizona (Tucson)
Dec. 8.-Five hundred and sixty.
eight COWS of Maricopa County,

Davis, extension dairyman of the
University of Arizona said yes
terday in making his annual re
port for the Maricopa County
Cow Testing Association.
The 568 COWS having complete
records for the year produced a
total of 1874, 1874 pounds of fat,
for which the dairymen realized
O6,884.81. After deducting the
total feed cost, $40, ,261. 40. a net
balance of $66. .623, IL is shown to
the dairymen of the Salt River
Valley, Davis said.
According to his records Al
herds representing total of 1870
COWS were tested in the Associa
tion during the year, of which
% herds, a total of 578 cows,
made an average production of
8O78 pounds of milk containing
1894 pounds of butter fat. This
represents an increase of 11.9%
Increase over the figure for the

A. j. WELTY BUYS AMIGO MINE

] The Amigo group of six claims
in the Patagonia district, ad-
joining the southerly third of
the Big Jim property on the
east, has been purchased by A.
J. Welty of Nogales and asso-
ciates. They propose to start
work of sinking a working shaft
shortly after January 1st, plan
ming to go to a depth of 300 feet
before starting extensive lateral
exploration.
This is the largest purely de-
velopment campaign planned in
Santa Cruz county for some
years. In point of total expend-
iture as compared with ore in
sight it overshadows the Big
jim purchase of the Blue Nose
mine and the construction of a
mill to handle ores already de-
veloped.
The deal was brought about
through the agency of Mining
Engineer Fl. E. Davis of Pata-
gonia, who for more than a year
has been making a close study
of the Mowry- Big Jim Hardshell
section, and upon his favorable
report on the ground Mr.. Welty
closed the deal.
The Amigo group is traversed
by more than three thousand
feet of the great lime-igneous
contact which is regarded as a
main ore channel in this section
of the district. In fact, no one
property in this zone appears to
cover such a great length of this
contact as the Amigo.
The contact zone is marked by
large cappings of silver er-bearing
manganese, and in many places
in the seams and bedding planes
bright crystals of lead are found.
From several places "chlorid
ers" took out and shipped high
grade silver-lead ores years ago,
these holes being very shallow.
Toward the northerly end of the
property 1ead-silver sulphides
show at a depth of less than 25
feet below surface.
With the Big Jim steadily
grinding away on ores, and rap
idly adding to it's ore reserves;
with the Hardshell shipping
high grade silver lead ore; with
the Trench rebuilding roads and
getting ready to start shipment
of ores to the Big Jim mill; with
this new organization preparing
70 start work on the Amigo;with
the Shaler lease on the Jose
phine mine showing nice silver
lead ore; and work being started
on the Marsteller group adjoin.
ing the Big Jim, this particular
section of the Patagonia district
is getting to be the busiest min
ing center within a radius of so
miles or more.
