Brand, of Cleveland, president of the National Coffee Boasters' Association, who pre sided at a sectional meeting In Cleve land today of seventy-five coffee roasters from Ohio, western Pennsyl vania, Indiana and southern Michigan. American -mado milliner' is finding a large sale In Australia, New Zealand, Cairo nrltf Alexandria, in Kgypt, and in Jerusalem. Canadian retailers also are placing more orders than usual with millinery manufacturers here. Following an Investigation of the possibilities of selling American leather in Rumania, the Tanners' Council an nounces that concerns In this country will meet with strong competition from Canada and Kngland in going nfter the business. Buyers of woolen good for fall In both the men's and women's apparel lines keep up their Insistent demand for novelties. The high percentage of novelties bought this year compared to1 the more staple lines has been one of the features qf the fall selling season. Buying of Japanese raw1 silk is active and it is reported that Shlnshiu Xo. 1, a standard grade, has advanced five cents n pound. Arrivals of the Jap anese product, nlthough quite large, are qui( My taken up by American manu facturers, and it is declared forthcoming receipts will be disposed of readily. Buying of cotton good is animated with additional advances reported. Sales of gray or unbleached goods arc large, buyers specifying for delivery during May, June and July, the luttcr month being about as far ahead as the mills care to bind themselves. Much actUity is reported In gray cloths made of fine combed yarns, these products repre senting sheer fabrics that are used in making women's dress and infants' gar ments. Manufacturers of optical goods ie port that there is no shortage of raw glasses, but that the reduction of work ing forces prevents the output of suf ficient finished lenses to meet the de mand of the trade. At the outbreak of the war American concerns uere de pendent to n large extent upon foreign markets for their lenses. Now the in dustry here has been developed so that only certain grades of glasses will be sought in the English and German markets. Recent reductions in the prices of i bloom nnil linl.untAi- hntlnre nnd rail!. u.... ...... ..u ..,. uv....., uu .... , otors have brought increased business to, several manufacturers and wholesalers. Some wholesalers, however, report that' while sales of these goods have not in- I crensed to any noticeable extent there arc more inquiries being received.

Steam aud Gasoline LOCOMOTIVES EVENING PUBLIC GOSSIP OF THE STREET FINANCIERS UNIVERSALLY PLEASED WITH LOAN TERMS "It Will Go Like Hot Cakes;' Says One Banker Praise Con version Feature Gossip of the Street rnilE Victory Loan was,, of Course, the main topic of discussion in the financial district yesterday. Everywhere the verdict that it could not be improved on was unanimous. Satisfaction with Its termi was universal. The agreeable surprise was In the she of the loan, which the most con servative had placed at 50,000,000,000. On- banker said, "It nlll go like hot cakes." Another said: "It Is already sold to the banks through the certificates of indebtedness. The government has the money nnd now It is up to the banks to distribute it tothe public." An investment bnnkcr said he hart n letter from a bank in the central part of the state saying that his bank had subscribed for the whole quota for his district and was going to take It and pay for it on the spot. Reports said the city of Carlisle, Pa had already gone "over tho to"p." The gen oral opinion among bankers and brokers is that several districts In the state are almost ready to pass under the wire. Not one note of fault-finding could be heard. A prominent banker was enthusiastic in his praise of the conversion feature. He pointed out that a man who wished to escape taxation on his purchases of Victory Loan bonds could buy the 3?is, and if the following year he found that the taxation would not reach him could convert his 33is into 4a.,8 ond have the benefit of the larger income. There was a question raised in one banking house which later information on the issue will settle. It Is whether the 4 Vis of former issues, which nrc convertible, may be con ertcd into the 4b4h of the Victory Loan. It was argued in opposition to this view that the Victory issue will be designated "notes" nnd. therefore, the privilege mentioned would not apply, ns It specifically refers to "bonds." A banker, when speaking on the conversion privilege, said it would have one good effect, namely, the keeping of the notes on a parity in the open market. He said if the conversion privilege had been adapted to the taxable 4tn of former issues so that they could be converted into tax-free Vjs they would be selling around 00 today. It was pointed out to him. however, that there was a limit to the number of 3H issued nnd that such n privilege could not have been extended to the 4lis under the circumstance. It was the general impression that the general satisfaction over the Victory Liberty issue hod imparted n degree of buoyancy to the general market. ... The effect ou former issues of Liberty Loans was marked during yes tcrday's trading. On a basis of yesterday's early prices on the four .issues of 4 Us run from 4.52 per cent for the first to 4.85 per cent for the third 4'4s, provided the bonds are not called before maturity. The third 4is are not callable. If called at the early dates yields at yesterday's early market prices range from 4.08 per cent for the first 4'is to 5.21 per cent for the sec ond 4'is. The yields of the various issues based on the market prices as given are fcbown in the following table: Maturitv ."'.'-js 1032-47 Kirst 4s 1032-47 Second 4s 1027-42 Kirst 4'is 1032-47 Second 4'is 1027-12 Third 4Us 1028 Fourth 4Us 1033 -3S w -, m, .. . tf anker oces notable Headway In his letter on the business and financial outlook under today's date William A. Law, president of tho First National Bank of Philadelphia, says: "The country is mnkinB notable headway toward more normal con ditions and general business is steadily improviiiK. Luxury expenditures, lion ever, are still very lnrjce, ns the grow ins demand for jewelry, silks and pleasure vehicles shows. Many of the basic industries nro sufferinc from the attempt to continue war wages in a pence period, nnd although readjust ment causes irritation, the time is not far distant when the whole nation must return to a more normal basis of living. "Some of the 1'ennsjlvnnia coal operators arc enjoying the novel experi ence of having competent miners apply eagerly for work. A year ago em plojers were bidding record wages for the most indifferent labor that this country has ecr seen. It was difficult to procure nt any price, and in order to keep their plants going manufacturers nnd other large emplojcrs had to overlook many abuses which arc no longer tolerated. American labor is recovering from a four jenrs' headache due to rush work, sensational wages and government coddling." Mr. Law also has n good word for the bond salesmen of the United States, who unselfishly abandoned their own business to work for each Liberty Loan ns it enmc out, and makes n plea on their behalf to the government to dcolop n national spirit of thrift, so that by the iucreased number of permanent bondholders these workers may find their future reward. He nlso treats of the railroad problem ond the propaganda which is being disseminated in Paris with n view to striking a wedge of discontent between Americans nnd the Trench. "Whv does the government in its operation of the railroads do simple things in a left-handed way?" said n banker who had just purchased tickets for himself nnd family to Atlantic City for the L'nster holidays. "Formerly," he said, "the left-hand coupon of n round-trip ticket was the return-trip coupon. Tho conductor usually took the ticket in his left hand and punched the right-hand coupon, nnd the same with the baggnge master. Now some wise lientl has reversed the position of the coupons, with the result that the conductor and baggnge master must hold tho tickets upside down while they do the necessary punching. I wonder if the same system enlarged hasn't got Boincthiag to do with the inefficiency of the roads!" Expects Extra Session of Congress About June J The railroad situation continues to be a debatable subject in financial circles. A banker in close touch with railroad matters said that as far as interest dividends nnd maturities nrc concerned tho roads can look for ward to May 1 without misgiving or worry, as the War Finance Cor poration, aided by the banks, has arranged to sec matters through to that date. After that date lie Bald they would pass the matter on to Congress, where it should have been attended to in the first instance. The forecast, he remarked, is for an extra session around June 1, some say earlier. "The railroads are not alone in waiting for appropriations for carry ing on necessary and in many instances urgent work," he said, "as many of the governmental departments are in the same fix. As for the railroad security holders," he remarked, "the question in which they are most interested at present is will there be another rate increase in freights to provide for the?05,OOO,00O increase iu wages awarded last week? Of course there is tho other party, the shipper, to be considered in any raise in freight rates." Asked how about the consumer, he replied jokingly : "Oh, he doesn't count. All he hns got to do is pay the bill, the other fellows will attend to the kicking."

The joists arrived a week later, but by that time the carpenters had gone to work for another contractor. It took two weeks to get them back. When the plumbers came, the floors w?re not laid. That lost three weeks more. When the roofing-men were ready, the sheathing was not done. In December came zero weather and snow, and the job could not be finished until spring. Don't let your building be held up in that way. Find out noio who is to furnish the lumber. We sell something besides lumber that is SERVICE. We know that to get the building done on time, the lumber must be there when it is needed. Fifty years' experience counts in these things. Fifty years' experience counts in these things. William M.
