The road question is a subject that much
concerns the people of Watonga. Es-

sandy condition of the roads makes
heavy hauling almost impossible at
times. Much trade has gone south be
cause of the inconvenience of travelling

FUEL QUESTION
DISTURBING
Coal Shortage Has Caused
Delay in Trade.
MANY FACTORIES CLOSED
Report for Week in Main Is
Favorable.

New York. Jan. 16.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
say:
Fuel shortage is still the one seriously
disturbing element in the industrial stu
alton. Transporting facilities have been
diverted from other merchandise, to the
disadvantage of shippers, yet iron fur
n&ces are unable to secure sufficient sup
plies of coke, and many other manufac-
turing plants are closed because of mad
equate coal deliveries Mines are more
fully operated, but there is no prospect
o. normal conditions until spring. Ex
tremely low temperature during the past
week stimulated distribution of heavy
clothing and other seasonable goods. Re-
tail trade was accelerated by the GUS
tomary clearance sales, especially in dry
goods and kindred branches. Travelling
men are sending in large orders for spring
goods, the volume of advance business
surprising the customary amount for this
time of year.
Quiet conditions in the iron and steel
markets do not mean dullness or dimin-
ishing consumption. out merely the over
sold condition o. furnaces and mills, to-
gether with great uncertainty about keep
ing plants active on a day to day supply
of fuel. Inquiries are numerous, and es-
pecially in structural lines, but makers
Sre not ready to accept bids until the
future appears more definite New plans
constantly come forward for large offer
ings, notably .le west, which means Wig
orous consumption OF structural steel,
and the demands from car builders are
phenomenal. Practically the entire ca
pacity of the leading plants is already
booked for six months, and at many con-
Germs the last half of the year will bring
no idleness unless orders are cancelled.
Eastern manufacturers of footwear are
fully employed on spring shoes. but new
orders are light for later delivery, al
though western jobbers purchase freely
of fall samples. Quiet conditions in
leather have been succeeded by an in
creased demand for hemlock sole and
standard upper. shoe manufacturing plac
ing liberal orders Last weeks light re-
covery in the hl~e market was not sus-
tanned. Dry goods trading has increased
in volume. buyers arriving in greater

more activity in the latter half of the
month.
In the wooden goods division the open
ing of piece dyes was made at an adj
vance. but not as much as some sellers
Only moderate fluctuations

trre in coffee. owing to excessive supplies
