BUSINESS IS NOW
in MIXED STATE
Accurate General Statement
Impossible, Maintains U. 5.
Chamber Of Commerce.
FUTURE LOOKS HOPEFUL
Mercantile Business in South Atlantic
States Is Good in
Volume.

General business conditions throughout
the country In the closing weeks OF 1913
are revealed In a report just issued by
the committee on statistics and stand
ards of the Chamber Of Commerce OF the
United States from facts gathered by a
corps of trained and-competent observers.
Any general statement as to conditions
of manufacturing throughout the United
States would at present be both mislead-
ing and inaccurate. the report maintains.
since this condition varies according to
locality and the nature Qf the product
The textile industry is adjusting Itself to
changed conditions resulting from de-
crease in tariff rates. but the effect so
far does not Justify previous apprehen-
sions. The paper manufacturing business
Is below normal while shoe manufactur-
ing is good, with the prospects OF an ad-
vance in prices. This is true likewise OF
the leather tanning industry. All manu-
featuring connected intimately with the
railroad and with the steel and iron in
dustries is necessarily feeling the de-
preston OF these two great branches OF
business.
What has been said of the variation in
different manufacturing branches ap-
plies particularly to New England. where
the conditions are much mixed. The de-
cline in the price of stocks of the New
York. New Haven and Hartford and
the Boston and Maine railroads and the
passing OF dividends has exercised a So
rious effect throughout New England.
where these stocks have been looked
upon largely as Investments.
Throughout the Southern Atlantic
States mercantile business is in good
volume This Is true also in general
throughout the West and South. Busi-
ness varies much In these sections. ac-
cording to locality Where crops were
good business is fairly active: and in
sections where crop returns last year
were poor. business is corespondingly
quiet. The crops Of 1913 were on the
average below normal. and notwithstand-
ing the high prices which they command,
the effect in general of this-Sreat loss
has been widespread, even beyond those
sections where crop returns were poor.
APPARENTLY this fact has much to do
with the quietness and the conservation
Of business in many sections
Throughout the Central West, despite
the drouth. there is a general feeling
OF hopefulness for the future in all lines

six inches, and are twenty feet long and
are capable of carbonizing over 200 tons
of coal per day. The mouthpieces are of
the latest self-sealing type made by the
Western Gas Construction Company, Fort
Wayne, Ind.
The coal-handling and crushing ma
chinery consists of one twenty-four-inch
by sixteen foot apron feeder, one twenty
eight-inch by twenty -four-inch two-roll
crusher one elevator sixty feet high dis
charging coal to an overhead steel bin
with a storage of 100 tons. The coal Is

machine; from the ctusher IL drops to the
elevator boot and is raised by the elevator
to the coal bin; from this bin IL Is dis
charged into hopper on the De Brouwer
charging machine.
The De Brouwer charging machine places
the coa' In the retort by means Of a
belt which revolves round grooved pull
ley, the high speed maintained by throw
ing the coal by centrifugal force into
the retort, the speed being automatically
reduced as the retort fills. Each charge
OF coal is automatically weighed and
the machine is so simple that two levers
control the whole operation.
The discharging machine consists OF a
ram bar and head. with driving mechan-
ism which pushes the coke from the re-
torts after the gas has been liberated
from the coal.
tn resultant coke drops into con-
veyer extending the full length OF the
retort house, and is carried to a cross
conveyor which drops the coke into cars
carts. or into pile as required.
The retorts have been heated and now
are ready for charging. All the ma
chinery has been tested and most salts
factory results have been obtained.
