LONDON, September lO.-The Standard

Chamberiain's socialism in consideration
OF the mercilcss way in which he casti-
gated Parnell in his speech at Warrington
yesterday. The Standard says that the
rejection of MIR. Parnell's demands by rs-
sponsible Conservatives will be as dis
tsnct as Mr.. Chamberlain's in his speech.
More 1t cannot bs. The nation owes
much to Mr.. Chamberlain for his oppor-

the present moment there Is less reason
than ever for the Wings TO join the Con.

10 ps Elitor OF The JntesltQtaeT.
SIg:-In your Issue Of Thursday morn
ing you publish table showing how
much profit would be made on o specified
list OF nails, provided the average cost
price OF making them could be obtained
for l0d. That Is, ifthe average coat price
was s. IS per keg, and they could be sold
at 50 70 card rates, the profit would be
SOL %, or about 80 cents per keg. Yes; l
guess it would. But suppose the card
rate was so cents beloiD the average cost
price, as is the case Just now, how much
profit would there be on the sale? Our
mills are selling nails to-day at $2 10 rates,
sixty days or two percent of for cash, and
as almost every buyer aYails himself OF
the discount, the only safe way is 10 figure
on Cash basis.
Now, let us examine this nailera' table
in search OF profit. 1t says the 2, Jos kegs
specified would bring S0;7IB %. II sold at
g 70 card rates. II 30, 90 cents must be
deducted from each keg TO bring them
down TO the present selling price q $215
rates, and the result would be as follows:
2lgs kegs at s27S card rates 7i6 2s
Less % cents per keg" lsSs 70
Value at sll5ntcs co s5.!2I 4s
Less percent ior cAAl IOS co
Value on cash besl. %
Avenge value per keg........-."..y......- 242
Now II we had tho average cost Of nails,
the question OF profit would bo settled. 1t
is generally supposed to te about 81 As
per key; and II so, the list given In the
nailers' table would show loss Of 0 cents
per keg instead Of profit OF 80 cents. OF
course, il the card rate could be kept from
going below the average cost Of nails,
every order containing fue slzes would
show profit exactly equal TO the extra
prices paid for thnse fine sizes. Any
school by knows that. INQUIRER.
