WOOL AND MR
SALES ARE MADE
One of the first fruits of the emer
gency tariff bill signed Friday by Presi
dent Harding was the announcement of
the sale of a big lot of wool at Condon
and the disposal of the Eddyvllle mohair
pool at a fair price.
While soma disappointment was expressed that
the Eddyrille mohair pool did not bring more
uin :;xet pound, this is in reality Ho bet
ter than had been forecast by the trade gener
ally. Brown of Salem was the purchaser. The
Eddytille pool waa an unusual one thia year
Because It contained the holdings lor two years,
no ealee being made in 1920.
- The sale of 100.000 pounds of wool at Con
don to Boston interests is reported. The price
ia understood to be somewhat better than has
been in effect, but the purchasers were unwilling
to make it publio because it is said the bid -was
soot, that being generally offered. The wool
waa owned by the Butte Creek Land A Livestock
company and was, the biggest deal of the season
to date. The first suction sale will be held at
Pilot bock, June 1. ,

Mines Profitable
For 1920 Season
Wallace, Idaho. May 28. Aggregating
net profits of $6,818,855.40 during the
year 1920, according to sworn statements
recently filed with the county auditor of
Shoshone county, 13 producing mines of
the Coeur d'Alenea nearly doubled their
dividend record for the previous year. In
1917, however, profits f the district
reached the sum of $12,765,113.25. whiles
In 191S they amounted to $7,970,363.08.
For the past four years a grand total
of $30,329,444.99 over and above all cost
of operation, betterments and re pair a is
the showing made in this famous ailver
lead district That mining is not all
profit, however, is evidenced by the fact
that the gross value of all mineral pro
duced during this period is given as
$105,331,107.05.
Two big properties. Bunker Hill ft
Sullivan and Hercules, are credited with
nearly half of the -net results during
the past four years the former with
$7,815,189.85 and the latter showing
$6,973,391.10 on the right side of the

Rice Market Is
Improved; South
More Optimistic
By I. V. Shannoa
(Special Correspondent ot The Journal. )
New Orleans,- May 28. The conditions
in the rice market have improved so
much that there is a general feeling of
elation in this city "arid throughout the
rice growing section. Tha demand Is
constantly growing and the indications
are now that the producers will be able
to get rid of most of their surplus before
the next crop is made. Farmers are now
getting from a dollar to a 'dollar and a
half a sack more for their rough rice
than they could get 30 days ago.' .
At the same time the price for cleaned
rice haa advanced about a cent a pound.
The advance, instead of restricting de
mand, seems to have increased it. Job
bers all over the country are for the
first time in months buying in carload

NEW RAIL LAW
- SAVES HUGE SllM
By Frank D. Mctailn
- SMil Corresperxleet of Tb Jeurnsl
Philadelphia, May 28. Immediate
prospects of ? some industrial lines
were well epitomised today by Sam
uel M. Vauclaln. president of the
Baldwin Locomotive works. When
asked about the outlook, Mr. Vau
claln replied: "It's fine; ifa ali out
look." v.. .
- This particularly applies to the loco
motive business. An order for 11 large
locomotives for Mexico was recently
booked by Baldwin, but. American rail
ways are not in the market and It does
not take long to dispose of scattered
foreign orders.
Railroads operating in' this state are
gradually reducing crews, sines the re
cent repeal of the full crew law. Offi
cers estimate that the repeal of this law
will affect a saving for the Pennsyl
vania railroad yearly of $2,200,000, No
complaints have arisen on account of
curtailment - of crews, although dis
charged men have the right to appeal
to the public service corhmiaaion for a
hearing If they choose. On April 18
there were employed upon the Pennsyl
vania system 18S.600 perrons, which com
pares with 197.300 In March and with
279,000 last fall, when the peak was
reached.
