 There was that in Philip Nerit- zen's voice as he replied to my un- guarded. bitter exclamation con corning my influence with my hus- band which told me that he sud denly had seen a barrier lowered and that l must make haste or I could not erect it again. Hating equivocation, I had no recourse save to resort 10 it.
 "Oh, you must not misunderstood my meaning l said, taking my hand from beneath his. 'I meant that nothing in the world is per mitted to come between my hus- band and his decisions concerning his work. In that respect, l suspect he Is very like you. cannot imagine the great Philip Neritzen changing @ comma Of plan Of his at the be- hest of anyone in the world"
 His keen eyes swept my face, and I saw that I had not deceived him. But I had given him no choice save to pretend to believe me, and wi'h little feeling of relief l saw that ] had succeeded in replacing the bar Tier But that 1t was not as strong as before, I also knew.
 That opinion may be approving ---or the reverse" he said slowly, and added with an amused smile: My friend, Lillian. refers to me as q 'balky old mule sometimes, you know"
 I tried 10 look as if I never had heard the expression from lilliaus lips, failed ignominiously, and Joined In Mir. Neritzens laugh.

There is no mirth in that story. only sad ness and a great tenderncss--and perhaps the promised fruition Of long-deforred hope.

SIS and since that time it has fluc-
tuated between that price ard 6O.
The decline from the high point of
641a in June, 1926, followed close on
the publication of the recommendation
of the royal commission on Incian
currency TO put India on gold basis
and silver started to drop even before
the report was made public as it was
figured that the adoption of the
recommendations would take India
out of the market as buyer
In view of the fact, however, tnat
this report would not be effective until
1929 and not fully effective until 1899,
there were undoubtedly Other reasons
for the silver decline and it was prob
ably linked up with the situation IN
China, for silver is quite dependent
upon both China and India.
The report, which is better known
as the Hilton Young commission re-
! port, provided: first, for a gold bullion
| standard; second, the creation OF a
central banking institution; third, the
rupee to be stabilized in its relation
with gold; fourth, the reserve bank to
be legally obligated to buy and sell
gold after the change is in full force
and effect, i. e. 1881.
There seems to be little question that
this will greatly lessen the purchase OF
silver to be made by India and that
| they would work on the stock OF silver
which they now have, but, of course
much of the silver in India is in boards
and it will probably stay boarded. II
is stated that only about one third OF
the silver rupees are in actual circula-
| ton.
| No great activity is to be expected
in copper during April and, in fact
not a great deal more during May, az
May copper is pretty we'll contracted
for and purchases during May will be
for future delivery. The publication Of
the April statistics and what they
show will probably govern the extent
of the buying for future delivery dur
ing May.
Great Britain has shown decided
gain in the net average monthly i'm
ports of copper during the first par
| of 1927. Great Britain is now taking
| 1924 tons of copper as against 8,25T
| tons per month last year; 1901 tons
of zinc as against II $40 tons per month
in 1926, and 24,315 tons of lead per
month as against 21,O60 tons last
year.
Germany shows a good increase in
copper and lead, but are taking less
zinc. They are now taking 1858 tons
of copper monthly, 1882 tons of lead
and 4.504 tons of zinc, as against 10, 100
tons of copper, 6,34O tons of lead and
6,288 tons of zinc monthly during 1926.
France has been dropping off badly
on all of the metals, taking 1910 tons
of copper monthly whereas they took
9,796 tons monthly last year; 1924 tons
of lead this year as against 5,8I5 tons

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, May 9 R.-Freezing
temperatures predicted for Nebraska
and Kansas tonight, with complaints
Of seeding delay northwest and crop
damage southwest gave wheat a de-
cided upturn today. There was also
buying on correct belief that the gov
ernment crop report would prove
bullish. Wheat closed strong, IL cent
to 215 cents net higher; corn a cent
to n cent up; oats at Il cent decline
to 3s cent advance, and provisions
varying from IL cents drop to rise of
cents.
Weather news was the big factor in
the wheat market, but the consequent
upward swing of values was also
emphasized by announcement of 3,527,-
900 bushels decrease of the United
States visible supply. Reports at hand
from spring crop territory told of
widespread heavy rains and also noted
snow and sleet at numerous points
Meanwhile increasing reports of win
ter wheat deterioration in parts of the
southwest were received, with much
abandonment of acreage noted in
Texas from Fort Worth to Amarillo.
Aggressive demand for wheat devel-
Oped an irregular start that was partly
a result of unreSponsiVe Liverpool quo
tations. Besides, the general adverse
weather, another incentive to buy was
well grounded opinion among many
traders that current unofficial esti-
mates of domestic winter wheat yield
varying from 596,0OO,OOO bushels to
O4,OOOOOO bushels were too high as
compared with what the government
report would show. The actual official
forecast turned out to be 500, ,940 900
bushels. Meanwhile export business in
North American wheat today was
rather small, about 100000 bushels, and
supplies on ocean passage were larger
by 2,848,OOO bushels.
Corn and oats rallied with wheat and
as result of wet weather interference
with corn planting.
Provisions reflected doWnturnS in the
value of hogs.

Weekly Copper ReUietU
BY CHARLES #. WILLIS,
Editor The Mining journal.

The metal market continues to be
dull, although the only movement
downward in metal prices was in lead,
which has dropped from 6.85 to CTS.
Copper remains at Is cents and zinc
at 6.12. The metal consumption is
generally good, but the production is
a little more than adequate to take
care of the requirements.
There has been direct reflection of
the lower metal prices on the mining
company dividends declared for pay
ment during April as they total $16,-
765, 800 as against the January total
of $18960 1896, January being the end
of the last quarter for the same COM
panies.
The lowered lead price has brought
about a good volume of buying, but
there is still plenty of lead and no cur
tailment in evidence that is of suffi-
cient Importance to make the con-
suIners worry about their requirements.
The consumers are inclined 70 lay off
the market until the producers 60
after them with price inducements.
Zinc sales are maintaining about the
same average ra:e and considerable
business has been done since it hit
it's low price of 6.10. It is probable
that we shall see further cur5aiilnent
of zinc production, although the price
travels along with the lead price.
Silver is still sticking around Sc to
5614 and those interested in the pro-
duction of that metal are watching for
some sign OF Improvement. Silver hit
its low point on October 20, 1926, at

for business and have found it, Their
opportunity existed in the fact that the
copper and brass manufacturers of
other European countries we're making
too high charge for fabricating cop
per into products. BY cutting prices
slightly the Germans obtained the
orders for products which account for
their larger purchases of raw copper.
Substantial amounts of copper and
brass tubes, sheets and wire are now
being sold in England by German
manufacturers. 1t is probable that the
markets of other European industrial
countries are similarly being invaded.

This means that Germany is getting
the greater share Of the increasing vol
ume of business.
"Tae German copper and brass mills
are setting competition in motion,
which will help greatly to increase the
European consumption of copper.
Prices of products, proportionate to the
cost of the raw copper and zinc, have
been much too high. The reduction
in prices which the competition will
bring about will stimulate business. It
also will give added stimulus to the
efforts now being made throughout
Europe to reduce manufacturing costs.

SYMPHONY TO GIVE
ITS SECOND RADIO
CONCERT APRIL is
NOTED MINNEAPOLIS ORCHES-
TER NUMBERS ARE FEATURE.
elusive AIR PROGRAM; EAS-
TER NUMBERS IS FEATURE.

Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
will broadcast a special Easter con-
cert over station WCCO April 16,
from 8 to $3.50 p. m. 1t will be the
second exclusive radio concert pro-
gram to be played by the orchestra
and the last opportunity Of the north
west to hear the 87-piece organization
this season.
Numbers in harmony with the
Easter season will feature the pro-
gram, which is being arranged by
Henri Verbrugghen, conductor of the
orchestra. Mr.. Verbrugghen will
make a short talk during the pro-
gram to the thousands of persons
from whom he received letters after
the orchestra's first exclusive radio
broadcast in January.
Many of the letters called the
previous concert one of the most
successful radio FEATURES of the sea-
son and commented particularly on
the trueness of the radio reproduc-
ton. This was accompanied by low
ering the curtain of the stage from
which the orchestra played to a level
with the top of the single microphone
used in the broadcast. Similar pro-
cedure will be followed for the COM
ing program.
In some symphony orchestra con-
cert broadcasts from the east, as
many as 16 microphones have been
used with the results not as good as
those obtained here. This is due, ac-
cording to WCCO engineers, to the
fact that the orchestra were playing
to audiences with the curtain raised
and no means of combining the music
to the microphone. So far as is
known, the previous concert by the
Symphony and the one
now planned are the only two exclu-
sive radio programs ever played by
symphony orchestras.
The January broadcast received
much comment from the east and
while the orchestra was on tour
many persons told Arthur ]. Gaines,
that it was good advertis-
ing for Minneapolis.

+ Minnesota's birth rate in 1926 was
the lowest since records have been
kept in the state, report by Mrs.
Gerda C. Pierson, statistician for the
state board of health revealed.
The rate<was 2O.2 per 1000 popu-
lation. It's decrease, however, is COM
pensated by one of the lowest death
rates in the history Of the state, SO
per 1000 population, she said.~
Living births last year totaled 52,-
240, compared with 25,561 deaths, the
records show. There were 1857 still
births.
Birth rates since1915 show steady
decline, Mrs. Pierson pointed out.
The rates by years: 1915, 24.6; 1916,
24.4; 1917; 1877; 1918, 23.8; 1919, 21.7;
1920, 23.4; 1921, "a; 1922, 2S.1; 1928,
|22.5; 1924, 22.6; 1925, y20.96.
In 1925, the death rate was the
same in Minnesota as in 1926, while
lower death rates were recorded in
1924, 1922 and 1921. The highest
death rate since 1915 was that of
1918, when-it was 1874 per 1000 pop
ulation.
DR.. A. J. Chesley, secretary of the
state board Of health, declared that
the continuous lowering of the death
rate can be largely attributed to a
growing consciousness ON the part of
the public to guard health.
Increased ability on the part of
medical men to fight epidemics and
the special efforts directed toward
guarding against smallpox, diptheria,
tuberculosis, scarlet fever, and typhoid
fever should be credited, he said.
