BIG ORDER FOR
ARMY SHOES.
Manufacturers to Be Asked to
Submit Propositions for
$4,000 Pairs.

Washington, D. c.. Jan. 10.
st. Louis shoe manufacture
ers have an opportunity to
secure a big order from the
War Department.. The Quar-
termaster General of the army
has directed the depot quarter
master at Philadelphia to
purchase $4,000 pairs of shoes
of the pattern which has been
undergoing test at various
army posts. The shoes will be
bought in all sizes, and prop
ositions will be solicited from
the New England and the
Western shoe manufacturers.
1t is the intention of the Quar-
termaster General to make no
issues of the new shoes during
the present year. There is at
present in stock a sufficient
supply to meet the demand
during that period. The pur-
chase of $4,000 pairs is made
at this time with the idea that
the gear may be retained and
seasoned in store.

the coffee trade OF the Arbuck-
les grows hotter. Last week
the Arbuckles dispatched an
agent to Europe to contract
for their sugars, and yesterday
the Woolson spice company,
the big coffee plant acquired
by Mr.. Havemeyer to carry
on the war with, reduced the
price of roasted coffee n cent
a pound. This cut" like all
others of the long series that
preceded it, was promptly met
by the Arbuckles.
This brings that price of
roasted coffee at wholesale
down to 81 cents a.pound, as
against IS cents on December
I6, 1896, when the Haven
eyefs acquired the Woolson
plant and began the fight. The
consumer can now buy the
unprecedented amount of ten
pounds of roasted coffee for
81 in almost any part of the
United States, where he for
got but tour pounds.
In coffee trade circles it was
said yesterday that the Arbuck-
les are holding a very large
of coffee, and that the
cut in price is a serious
business for them. On the
other hand, it is expected that
their sugar refinery will be
ready to start up by May I,
when they may carry the war
nto the enenfy's camp.
