CEREALS ARE STRONG WAR PROSPECT LIFTS PRICES AT CHICAGO. Heavy Trading; Is) Wheat at Tvro-Ceat Advance Provisions Also Higher, CHICAGO, June 19. Prospect of war with Mexico brought about a decided upturn throughout the entire list of grain and provisions. Wheat closed strong, IHOll&Q to 2c net higher- with July at 11.02 and September at Sl.04. Corn showed an ad vance of llfc to VsSo, oats Ho to &c and provisions 157a to 80c. Trade in wheat was on a large scale and was said to Include much buying on foreign acconnt. Corn qr.lckly showed sympathy iwlth the wheat advance. Jtesldea. wet weather pre dictions tended to lift the market, and so too, did export sales. Oats manifested a little hesitation at first, owing to the fine crop outlook. Later, however, the likelihood of Increased domestlo demand for war purposes gave an advan tage to the bulla In addition, there were reported sales of 1,100,000 bushels to Eu rope. Provisions scored a sharp advance after an early break. Expected liberal buying on the part of the United 8tates military authorities was responsible for the lateest strength.

Yn Transfer Ant v Central Trust Company of N. Rftarmr The International Tungsten Corporation has been Incorporated under the lawm of tho State of Virginia for the purpose of acquiring through stock ownership approximately 1,000 acres of land, which We believe contains the richest deposit of tungsten ore yet diacoYered In the United States. As to the, property, developments, earning power, etc we summarise from a letter received from President Hiram Whitcomb, under date of April S7, 1918, and the report of Arthur Kelly, M.E., as follows: The purpose of tba organisation of the International Tungsten Corporation Is to aeqnlre aH the capital stock of the Emery-Whitcomb Tungsten Company and the National Tungsten Company, Art son a Corporations, which own 1,000 acres of tungsten land located In Arlsona, about S3 miles from the railroad station at Amado, Arlsona, on the Southern Pacific Railroad. Development work was began on the property In June, 1915, a small five (() stamp mlH being erected i three months later this was Increased to ten (10) stamps, from which (930,000 of tungsten cos centrates bar been shipped to date, the price received for these shipments ranging from (10.00 to (38.00 per nnit of 90 pounds or (1,000 to $3,800 per ton. Ten (10) additional stamps hare bow been Installed and It is proposed to still further Increase this number to fifty (50) stamps, which will give a dally capacity of 950 tons. With this capacity, If disposed of even at (50.00 per unit, which Is below the present market, the mine should show earnings for the fiscal year ending June SOth, 19 IT, of over (3,000,000. Those earnings will be proportionately larger when the mill capacity Is still further Increased. There is at present, blocked out and In sight, sufficient tungsten ore to keep a fifty (30) stamp md run ning at capacity for many years. The main vein on the property Is approximately five miles long, vary ing in width from three to twelve feet, whereas the average width of tungsten veins so far discovered Is from three to six Inches. The uses of tungsten are growing so rapidly that a steady market for the .metal is assured. Its supe riority over other alloys Is recognized and the great demand for hih speed machinery tools where superior strength is required Indicate the wide uses of the metal. Tun its ten steel tools can be sible with carbon steel tools. The wiia incrcascu ouiput, it wui iuu oe impossible to satlsiy tne existing marker. Application will bo mads to list this stock on the New Yorlc Curb and the Boston Stock rLxchang-e. . Additional Information will be furnished on request. Price $7.50 per share.
