NOW that all the window glass factories

PIE 10 review the past season with soma
degree OF accuracy. In some respects it
has been rather remarkable season. The
duration of the blast in the majority of the
factories has been about thirty weeks. or
nearly .one-third less than for the season
or lss4-5 Most of the factories did not re-
sumo operations until September p of last
year. three weeks after the usual date
There was an idleness of six weeks during
January and February, and all hut a dozen

to 164S pots have been oI',rated during that

authority. has not been 900.Go) boxes under
the figures of the preceding year. The sea .
son now. at an end has witnessed the great
est number of pots in continuous operation
that has ever been known in the history
Of the trade. The output per pot has been
fully up to the average of previous years.
The demand this yenr has been dull. and i'm
ports have been much heavier than last
year. Stocks in the hands of manufacture
ers are now believed to be much heavier
than has been thought. and are estimated
at million boxes. Those in the hands
ot iobbers are estimated at 800. 900 boxes
If these estimates. made by one of the
leading jornals in the glass trade, are cor
rect. present holdings show only slight
difference from those at the end of the
preceding season.-St. Louis Stores and
