New York. July 15.-There was, al the
opening OF the market to-day, some sell
ing Of stocks by out-Of-town holders who
had taken flight over the remarkable

prices, the combined effect being that for
some minutes after the opening. the gen

points amounted TO positive weakness.

AMERICA USES MANY BARRELS.
Production Each Year in the United
states Exceeds 10000, 600.


Upward Of 150,0o0.000 barrels and c!rcu-
lar packages are manufactured IN the
United States annually, according TO the
estimate Of a writer IN the American
Grocer. Few people. except those whose
business it is to know. realize the eXten-
siveness Of the cooperage industry in this
country.
The heaviest demand comes from the
cement business The -four business ranks
next. closely followed by sugar. Contain
ers for fence staples, bolts. nuts. nails.
and packages Of roasted coffee. spices.
crocke-y, fruits. and vegetables follow in
the order named. while glass manufac-
turers, baking powder companies. liquor
distillers, and candy. tobacco. and cheese
packers are big users Of barrels The de-
mand for barrels for molasses, oil. lard
and pork is also enormous. while dry
paint. glue. snuff. oatmeal. screws. cast
ings. and general hardwood articles an
nuaHy increase the demand on the cooper
age supply
While the amount OF expenditure for
barrels can be quite closely estimated for
given year. it Is not possible 10 say how
many barrels are IN actual use The life
Of a barrel is put down at one year by the
trade. but this is far from true A ma jOr-
ity Of barrels are used many times They
begin as sugar OF -four barrels. and are
then sold TO the farmer fOT shipping his
produce to the market Il may be that
they are returned 70 him several times.
carrying potatoes 10 the market on the
first trip and tobacco or lettuce on the
next each cargo being lighter in weight
than the previous one. owing 10 the weak
ened condition Of the barrel Finally the
barrel may serve out its life work as a
refuse receptacle. and IN the end can be
used for fuel. Thus. il may be said. that
