AuspiciousIy as Many Cars Are
Ordered for South Ameri-
can and Other Markets.

PITTsBuRG, Pa, Nov. 21.-The
Glassworker says:
That the acquisition Of foreign
trade by American window glass
manufacturers is not fantastic day
dream. but is a possibility of most
material character is shown by the
fact that within the last week ovel
$50 cars of window glass have beer
sold for immediate export.
Coming as 1t does SO soon after the
national association of window glass
manufacturers had decided to inau.
gurate a campaign to acquire an ex-
port trade this news is more than
cheering, implying that whether they
will or not, this foreign trade is to be
thrown into their hands. The $50
cars and more Of glass sold will &c
practically all over the world, the
orders coming from houses in Cana
da, Japan, South America and the
United Kingdom.
Still more significant is the large
number Of inquiries from foreign
sources received during the week,
relative to possible orders totalltng
an enormous amount Of glass.
From most reliable source it was
learned that If but one-tenth Of these
tentative orders materialize, the
window glass men of the United
States will have most prosperous
year ahead OF them.
During this period American indus.
tries will almost certainly be boom
ing to their fullest extent, to supply
the needs of foreign markets and the
domestic consumption on which, stim-
ulated by Foreign business, will, 1t is
predicted. greatly increase.
1t is a fact. no doubt, that many OF
the inquiries now being made, are
simply filters" and are made for the
sole purpose of ascertaining prices
and supply In the United States, to
the end that foreign dealers may cor
rect their price lists accordingly.
While this may be true to large ex-
tent, the fact remains that 1t will be
only question of time until whatey-
er stocks there may be on hand in
Europe will be exhausted, and the
production of foreign plants will be
totally unable to meet the demand.
Then the American manufacturers
will get still more business.
There are few glass factories
working in the United Kingdom, but
reports from there are far from
bright. The Pilkington and Chance
works are in operation, among others,
but they alone cannot supply the
wants of Europe and other foreign
countries.
While 1t does not follow that ev-
cry factory In the land will secure
orders for export glass, the fact re-
mains that all factories will be inn
mensely benefited. as the expectation
by some OF the large concerns will
leave domestic demand to be satis-
ned.
It is pointed out also that this ex-
