visitors to the beaches at Padre

More venturesome folk have been
bathing for several weeks in the
surf at both places and a few of
the really hardy ones have been
enjoying plunge at intervals

But Sunday might be said to
have officially opened the season

Possibly Miami and other Flor

beach season, but out in California,
where the chilly waters of the
Pacific batfe the coast, the most
enthusiastic lovers of the water will
fight shy of the surf until early
May and then their bathing will
be done at midday.
The big rush will begin in June.

these figures available, 1t was evil
dent that the ark was Of tremen-

some Of the great steamers Of to-
day From these figures the ark
was a much larger boat than the

After all available sources had

twenty-five inches was a good aver

MERCURY OUTPUT IF UNITED STATES
 GROWS STEADILY
EgTROPE REVIEWS MARKET CONDITIONS AND FINDS FIX
 PORTS DECLINED

LONDON. Nov, 21, (P)-Accord- ing to the Continental Metal Press, almost all the larger mercury con- suming countries report smaller imports of the metal. For example, lthe Indian figures for the second quarter of 1929 show imports of only 1885 f1asks against 8O5 in the corresponding quarter of 1928. It is understood that the stocks of mer- cury in the hands of the Cartel are abnormally high, exceeding over 100000 flasks.
 This information certainly erna- mates from consuming circles, and is difficult to check. However, if the figures are possibly exaggerated, there can be no doubt that the policy of the Cartel is gradually leading to developments which are not in favor of the producers. 1 The Cartel has recently introduc- ed a new selling basis for the more important districts; it is naturally too early to pass judgement on this new policy, but it is believed to be certain that the Cartel and it's brokers have to make spe-
 cial efforts to halt stocks grow ing.
 Especially significant is the de- cline in the American imports; this is scarcely due to lower con- sumption which, in fact, is said tc have increased. The American pro-
 duction of mercury under pro-
 tection of the tariff of $18.75 per flask must, therefore, have strongly
 developed. No doubt in the course
 of last year, before the Cartel wa!
 formed, considerable stocks were Accumulated, but the falling off il
 imports has endured So long tha these stocks should have becomt exhausted. The conclusion is, there fore, that the domestic production in America has increased to a mucl
 greater degree than was anticipat ed by the Cartel.
