FEBRUARY NICKEL EXPORTS ARE DOWN Ottawa Paper Attributes + Short Month at Late Shipments as Cause Ottawa, March 11.--The Ottawa Journal today says "Exports of all rades of nickel by International ompany for the month of Febru- ary did not come up to the mark established in the preceding month, either in poundage or in value, ac- cording to figures just obtained from the government, but this is not re- garded as any indication of lessening tput. It wag explained it was prob- ably due to late shipment not being included in the February returns, and also to the fact that it was a short month, "Exports of nickel ore of all gra: des for the month totalled 6,654,100 pounds having a total value of §l,- 810.201 as compared with 11,638,300 unds having a total value of $2, §oz.588 in the month of January.

T0 EXPLOIT SODIU SULPHATE DEPOSIT IN SASKATCHEWAN 'Big User of Western Product Toronto, Mar. 12.-~The Horse- shoe Lake Mining Company, rec- ently formed, plans to exploit the extensive sodium sulphate deposits in southern Saskatchewan. Among the directors of the company are J. W. Agnew, vice-president of In- terdational Nickel Company, and James A. Richardson, grain brok- er ,of Winnipeg. The Horseshoe Lake Company has commenced construction of = plant at a point 64 miles south of Pasqua, near Ormiston, southern Saskatchewan. The plant 4s ex- pected to cost in the neighborhood of $500,000, and when completed will employ about 200 fo 250 men. According to J. J. Floyd, man- ager of the company, there are at least 9,000,000 tons of sodium sul- phate In sight on the company's holdings. This tonnage is contain- ed in one single bed. The deposit les right on top of the ground, so that all the company needs to do is to run a railway truck out_to it and mine it hy steam shovels The bed is about 20 feet thick in the centre, thinning ont to the edges of the deposit, Sodium sulphate, while not wide- ly known, has a variety of uses and plays an important part in chemical affairs. The article iv used largely in a flux for the re- fining of nickel ores. This prob- ably explains Mr, Agnew's presence on the board of directors. The commodity 48 also used extensively to make chemical combinations with barium sulphate, which lat- ter is largely used in the rubber industry. Horseshoe Lake is purely a closed company, having no stock for sale, They hold a ten-year con- tract with the International Nickel Co., and will bezin shipping them 36,000 tons in the first year of operations, Increasing such ship- ments each year, The plant 1s progressing favorably, and is ex- nected to be in operationiby June 1 next, At present prices of more than $22 per ton, the Horseshoe Com- pany expects to be able to ship a portion of their output by rail to the various barium reduction plants in West Virginia, in compe- tition with the German products now in use. GRAINS DROP TD NEW LEVELS ON CHICAGO CHANGE Overnight Drop of 4 58 Pence at Liverpool Deals Heavy Blow Chicago, Il; March 12.~Facing a dismal outlook for wheat' e: t as estimated by a leading world" auth- onity and further depressed by a Farm Board statement that saw no immediate relief from the present grain congestion the wheat trade sold futures contracts down to new low prices for the season today. Under the pressure of general sell ing, wheat, corn w.d rye all smashed down to new low price records for the current season, Demoralized market conditions_at~ Liverpool, where wheat showed an overnight drop of 4 5-8 pence a bushel, was largely responsible together with re- duced estimates of world import news, as well as official announce. ment that for sixty days yet there was no likelihood of relief from conwestion at domestic grain term- inals, Opening 5-8 to 3 1-4 down, Chica- go wheat futures later showed tran- sient rallies, Corn, rye, oats and provisions weakened with wheat, corn starting 1 5-8'to 3 3-8 off, and sWbcequently decliming further.

PRENOSIL, Associated Press Financial Editor New York, March 12-<The stock market ran into a storm of selling today on what appeared to be a record-breaking volume of business for the year. Scores of Issues were carried down 1 to 10 points, half a dozen or so to their lowest prices of the year, before the reaction was checked at midday by a brisk re- covery which materially reduced the early declines, Total sales cross- the 2,000,000 share mark before the end of the second hour, with the tape averaging nearly half an hour later. While the reaction was widely regarded as a necessary correction of a temporarily top-heavy specu- lative position, the selling received considerable impetus from some unfavorable business developments. Iron Age reported that operations for the steel industry and declined from 78 to 756 per cent. with little prospect that the rate would again exceed 80 per cent. in the first half of the year, an increase of 29,719 tons was reported in the stocks of refined copper during March, and freight car loading for the week- ended March 1 were 79,102 cars below the same week of last year, and were the lowest of any corres- ponding week since 1922, One on the few bright spots in the situa- tion was a decline of nearly 90,000 barrels in the dally average of crude ofl production last week. Call money renewed unchanged at 4 per cent, hut the supply ex- ceeded the demand, and the rate was dropped to 3%. Time money and commencial paper were un- changed. Harly selling embraced ypracti- cally the entire list but was most effective in the public utility, steel, electric equipment and chemical groups, U.S. Bteel commoh sold and Inland also sold off sharply, als though the former fully recovered its loss by early afternoon, _CALMONT OILS, LIMITED Lowery Petroleum, directly south, three quarters of a mile from Calmont, has come into production with the largest flow of wet gas yet encoun- tered in Turner Valley.

Stomach Troubles Are Due toAcidity Tells of Pleasant Home Treatment i to Bring Swift Relief So-called Stomach Troubles---in- digestion. dyspepsia, gas, sour. ness, ete, are, in probably nine cases out of ten, evidence of "too much acid in the stomach" souring | the food, causing the formation of gas and starting acld indigestion. Gas distends the stomach and causes a full, oppressive burning feeling known as heartburn, while the acid irritates and inflames the delicate stomach lining. Get rid of Gas and Acidity, and you get ria of Indigestion. To stop or prevent the sourness and gas, to neutralizu the slomacn acide and keep the stomach sweet and free from Indigestion, a tea- spoonful or four tatlets of Bisur- ated Magnesia should be taken n a little water after vating or when over gas, Sourness, pain or acidity is felt. This, quickly sweeténg the stomach, neutralizes the. acidity, stops the pain and is harmless and Inexpensive to use. ' Bisurated Magnesia, powder or tabjets only, 'can be obtained from apy drug store apd its dally use keeps the stomach in fine condi: tion, enabling it to do its work 'without the aid: of artificial dis sestants. : LEADING STOCKS DROP DURING DOLL SESSION Clients Are ~ Unable or Averse to Taking Up Stocks Outright Toronto, March 12.

Tne fall .n wheat prices to around the Jollar level, the trade oth in Casada and Lin States for the month of February and the fact that in Wall street May stocks were considered to have been pushed beyond their true le- vel were contributing factors to tos day's sentiment, With the notable, ecxgeption of Ford of Canada"A" shares almost the. entire list of stocks traded on Loronto this morning registered losses, International Nickel slipped back under 40 the latter part of the mor- ning, Noranda declined over a poiat and the oils dragged wearily, Vol- ume of trading in the oils vas ex- tremely light, in fact the small a- mount of business handled in the aggregate indicated stocks were not being pressed for sale.
