BUSINESS NOTES
The price of coffee is not going to be
cheaper for a while, according to a
statement by Cnrl W. 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

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.
The British Government lias modi
fied its embargo, according to official
dispatches today, bv issuing general
licenses permitting the importation of

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:

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."

Finished
Once the building1 of a whole row of houses
was held up for several weeks, just because
the lumber people sent flooring when the
joists were wanted.
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.
