THE STEEL SQUARE.
.ssosy of the Invenlion Of Oh. Tosi
rsed By Carpenterr.

The large steel squares used by car
penters are such common tools that
perhaps few know when aud where
they were first made and how they
came 10 be used or even give the mat
ter q thought. The making OF them is n
great industry now, hut when the last
century came la there was not one in
use.
The inventor was a poor Vermont
South Shaftsbury.
one dull rainy day a pcyldlcr of tin.
ware called nj his shop to have the
blacksmith fasten q shoe on his horse.
Such pcldlcrs travelled up and down
the country, calling at every farmhouse,
buying everything in the way of bar
ter. This one had a number OF worn.
out steel saws that hc had picked up In
various places. IIowes bargninCd for
them. shOeng the pcddler's horse aud

each thought he had an excellent trade.
Ills idea was to polish and weld two
saws together at right angles and thus

sell for 81 or S8. which was tivc times
as much as II cost him. 4
He applied for and obtained = patent
on hls Invention 80 that no one else
could deprivc him OF the profit it gave
him. II was just after the war OF 1912,
and money was scarce and difficult 90

hired men 90 help him. Iu n few years
DC was able 10 erect q large factory and
put in machinery for the making OF
squares. which by this time had found
their way all over the country and had
made their inventor famous.
Such was tho small beginning of n

CONDITION OF THE TURPENTiNE
MARKET.
A Bad Week-A Drop in Spirits and
in Resins.

This has been bad week for naval
stores. The tendency throughout the
week has been downward. without a
single exception. No week recently
has brought 50 pronounced Il loss in
resins as this one has. and unfortu-
nately the end does 1Oc yet seem 70
have been reached. No one is doing
any predicting now and the trade gen
orally is'~mereiy waiting 70 see what
will come next. Late Saturday after
noon there was an advance on pales
of 10 cents on some Of the sales, but
20 Offset this there were further losses
on some medium and lower grades, so
that the improvement could hardly be
considered. Present values are much
below those of last year at this time
but still show up considerably better
than two years ago at this time
Nearly every day this week brought
changes in rosin quotations. and at
the close yesterday the prices showed
declines for the week Of 80 cents on
waterwhite, 40 on windowgLass, y, IS
on NJ, 4s on K, I, 55 on H, So on G, 10
on F, so on E, 40 on D-A. Generally
speaking, the decline for the week av-
eraged 81 round barrel, taking all
grades into consideration.
At no time last year after May IL
were pale resins as low as they are
now. Even in the slump they did not
get to present prices. Unfortunately
conditions last season We're so abnOr-
NAL that it is practically an impOssi-
bility 20 establish any comparisons
that mean anything. With the battle
royal that was then on, with the mar
siderable of the time, prices failed TO
really reflect any genuine state of the
consuming market.
In spirits turpentine as in resins the
declines the last week or 50 have failed
to stimulate the American trade into
heavy buying. Orders are re-
ported by brokers as meagre and in
quiries as not very promising. When
the decline came there was a tendency
TO buy, especially as the market quick
ly showed new strength, but as there
have been two or three declines now in
succession consumers seem to have de-
dided to further test the market. Dur
ing the present week ii dropped to
81 IA cents again. and at that price
the offerings were reported to have
been cleaned up late yesterday (Fri-
day. afternoon.
For two or three days there is said
to have been an offer on the market
OF 81 cents. and accordingly the down
ward trend for the week would have
brought up at that point anyway.
Probably the fact there was such bid
lead TO its cleaning up at a quarter
cent higher.-Savannah Naval Stores
