pean countries would jo to Argentina
for (upplie of grain and meat.
Weakness in securitica also attracted
attention, and there was renewed talk
about tight rates for money. The bears
also had the help of a drop in hogs and
provisions and fine weather in the belt,
with crop advances favorable from a
large part of the surplus ares.
Hallies were feeble, the buying being
confined to the execution of resting or
ders and covering by shorts. The cash
article was nlso weaker and offerings
from the country were fair.
Oats were weak also, despite talk of
an inquiry for export and a jump at
Buenos Aires. Omaha longs unlosded
early and inter stop-loss selling was en
countered, influenced by the break in
corn and ample supplies.
Talk was heard of damage to the
crop, but the temperatures were con
sidered too high in some sections. It
wns understood that considerable freight
room liad been booked for France pre
sumably for oats.
The cash article was lower.

"In fircnt riritnin." he remarked, ' a city locntrd n is Philndelnhia
on n deep river -vatcr-var. desired 10 onlarse or improve her dockinc ani
other -hippine facilities anl wished to borrow several millions of .lollar- for
the purpose fhe would make application to the coverninciit. Experts would
oe sent to examine the proposition from every standpoint, to see if the
vnlans drawn were suitable for the location, if the materials to be used in
instruction were adequate, if there existed a necessity for the. improve
ment, if the reveuue to be derived from fhe enterprise would, with the
orrxlit of the city, Riiarantee the necef.snry payments, etc. All this beine
samfoctory or beinB made satisfactory the loan would be recommended nnd
the work would proceed tinder the supervision of government ex'perts. who
have ,fhe power to accept or reject as the work progresses. This lonn
would Ve advanced at. say ft per cent, and. as Great Britain before the war
could bovrow through the issue of consols almost nny amount at 3 per cent
by losntnvT it In this way for public works, n sinking fund was created froni
the remaitilug 3 per cent after n small allowance for expenses. This sinking
fund wipoff out the original debt in between 30 nnd 3." years, so the city of
Philadelphia would become sole owner of these docks w'ith n their income
through pa.ving the government 0 per cent on a lonn for a stated numbep of
years.
"This pl-f.n was in vogue in Great Rritnin to assist in all kinds of public
improvements J,'rom the construction of docks to the building of a country

Defeat or Triumph
Xapoleon lost the battle of Waterloo
just because the reinforcements coming
to his aid were delayed by muddy roads.
And so many a Napoleon of business
has suffered defeat just because the
building materials that he counted on
were not delivered until too late to get
the building finished and carry out his
plans.
That is why efficient traffic and de
livery departments are such essential
features of our business. We are sell
ing more than lumber we are selling
SERVICE. When you are marshaling
your forces for an important building
operation, it may save you from dis
astrous defeat and loss to command
such stores of lumber as ours, with
such power to assemble and deliver it at
short notice when required.
Some day you'll build. If you want
the work finished on time, see that the
lumber comes from LLOYD.
