THEAP BOOKS.---The subscriber offers to
~ gentlemen forming or adding to their libraries
large and varied collection of the best editions of
all and standard works, in every walk of liter
ature and science, at, prices lower in many cases
and in every case as low, they can be purchased
for anywhere in the United States.
Persons who disposed to take it for granted in
advance, that books must necessarily and Of course
be sold at lower prices at the north than in Wash
ngton city, would find reason in close examine
ton and comparison for change Of opinion in this
regard. 1t is not entertained BY persons from the
northern cities themselves; nor does the subscriber
expect to be able to sell any book whatever at any
higher price than the lowest at which it can be pur-
chased elsewhere. No book is knowingly sold
from his store at any higher price than the lowest
at which the same can be found anywhere else in
the United States
In fulness and variety, if not in gross quantity,
his collection will be found equal to any IN the cou-
try; it is constantly receiving additions of every
thing new and valuable published here or in Europe
American editions he purchases for the most part at
the annual booksellers tradesales in the northern
cities, where the largest northern establishments
themselves lay in their supplies, while English and
vance, in London and Paris, importing them for
himself without the Intervention of any third party
He is in this way able, therefore, to sell at as low
prices as any bookseller anywhere, and bookbuy-
ers will find him willing to do so.
Books, stationery, periodicals, mathematical in
struments and everything else imported to order
from England, France, or any part of Europe
with great despatch.

AMERICAN HEMP.

BosToN, July 81, 1916.
DEAR SIR: We annex the manufacture of Ameri-
can hemp to any considerable quantity in 1912,
when our whole purchases amounted to
In ls43 we purchased 1876 $50
I844 605l /"
lS45 50250 &c
And we have up to the let inst. of 1886 manufac-
tured 900 pounds of cordage from American
hemp, and shall probably manufacture to the
amount of 700 900 orS00 900 pounds by the close OF
the year. We have no doubt that your exertions
to improve the quality Of the hemp produced in the
United States, to enable you to fulfil your contract
with government, made when Mr.. Paulding was
secretary has contributed materially to the increase
and consumption Of this article inasmuch as pre-
vious to your attempts the American hemp brought
to this market was Of such quality that it was
next to impossible to manufacture it into cordage
of quality that would command remu-
nerating price to the manufacturer. Since that
time, however, the quality has steadily i'm
proved, and we now make an article that will
compete, all It's essential qualities, strength and
durabiy,) with the best Russian cordage. But our
shipowners have so long been used to the fine color
of the Russian cordage that we find great difficulty
in overcoming the preudces in its favor on this ac-
count. We do not despair, however; could we have
the market for a few years more, we should be
enabled to drive the Russian entirely out of the
market for both hemp and cordage, and we should
then be able to supply cordage from our own ma.
tiye-grown hemp at price that would defy compe-
tition. The result of this has already been to al
most entirely stop the importation of Russian hemp,
and very little cordage is imported, and that for
expectation principally; said small quantity being
used by sailmakers still for bolt rope but the
importation of Russian hemp has decreased from
5000 tons, few years since, to as many hun
dreds. We should rejoice that this good work
should go on. We now sell an article equal to any
in point Of strength, at price cheaper than ever
known before since cordage has been manufactured
in this country. We hope, as you have been in
strumental in improving the growth Of hemp, that
you may reap the benefit you deserve, by being
amply compensated by government for all the losses
you have had to encounter in the great work, and
for all the labor you have expended on 1t.
Yours, respectfully,
SEWALL & DAY.
