NO CHINESE BLUE LEFT;
/. RALPH CORNERS SUPPLY
Spends $4,000 in Buying Up That
High-Grade Color and
Chrome Green Also.

Don't try to get any Chinese blue in
the next eight months. Washington ar
lists. for you cannot get it.
Joseph z. Ralph. director of the bu-
reau of engraving and printing, has it
has it all. And also he has the world
supply of lake red. chrome green and a
few other high lights.
The reason for this cornering Of the
market is to be found in the war. Most
of these colorings are produced in Ger
many. Owing to the refusal of the
diplomats Of the various European coun-
tries to yield one way or another there
was grave danger in Uncle Sans stamps
and seals and parar money being
printed with some rank imitation stun
instead of the regular old-time Chinese
blue, chrome green and the other odd
and expensive stuffs.
Mr.. Ralph returned to Washington to-
day from a trip to New York, where he
spent several days in rounding up every
last drop Of these colors to be had in
the United States The sum involved
in the purchase was $4,000. The sup.
ply Is supposed to be enough to last
eight months.
The Treasury Department has been en-
deavoring to get the State Department
to induce Germany to ship some Of these
rare but necessary colors. Germany
thus far. has refused. because of her
inability to get American cotton.
If the United States could make a
dent in the English blockade and allow
Germany to get cotton. it is declared.
then inks, colors and other chemicals
badly needed here could be exported
from Germany.
