CEMENT INDUSTRY IMPROVING.

CEMENT INDUSTRY IMPROVING.
The year 1915 opened with decided,
/ ly slack conditions in the cement in.
dustry. the latter part of 1914 having
shown a large falling off in produc-
ton and still larger reduction in
shipments of Portland cement than
the corresponding period of the pre-
ceding year, as reported by E. f. Bur
chard of the United States Geological
Survey, and the net result for 1914
was slight decrease in both produc-
ton and shipments the first yet re-
corded The average price at the
mills also decreased.
At the beginning of 1915 there was
little new construction work in sight.
few cement manufacturers felt opti-
mistic concerning the outlook and
some even prophesied further de-
cline in volume of business for 1915.
The general developments of the
early months of 1915 were not such
as to dispel the glooms from all of
their lodging places. so that the rate
of production of many mills was cut
down below that of shipments in order
to effect partial clearance of the
large stocks that had accumulated
during 1914. In general. however,
there has been an improvement dur
ing the second quarter OF 1915, the
rate of production of Portland cement
having gradually increased, and al
though there are no statistics avail
able for the first half year it is be-
lieved that, as compared with the cor
period of 1914. no appre-
ciable gain or loss has occurred. If
this be true. then conditions really
are better than were anticipated by
the majority of producers at the be-
ginning of the year, and, If no unfor-
seen conditions arise seriously to af-
,ect business, the next six months
should show an improvement over the
irst half of the year.
The cement industry is particularly
subject to local conditions. especially
II inland districts, since cement is
90 bulky product to be shipped in
,reat quantities by rail into competi-
i've territory. except under extraor-
linary circumstances. Naturally,
therefore,. certain districts, such as
hose that produce cotton. and those
n which industrial agitation has re-
emily checked progress, have felt
he depression more keenly than the
verase localities, while in districts |
where large public works are IN pro- !
ress, or where advantage is being |
AIKEN of the apparently favorable !
rices of structural materials in order !
D push extensions of factories and /
ew construction work, the produc- |
ion and shipments of cement have /
lcreased. Thus the conditions In |
ne cement industry are in strong |
ontrast between the gulf states and |
he Rocky mountain states on the one |
and and New York. Pennsylvania, 1
hio, West Virginia. and Michigan on !

The public celebration of the Fourth

noon attracted a large number Of rep
resentative people. The day was ideal
for Just such a program as was pre-
pared by the committee in charge, and
everyone enjoyed the program Of the
afternoon. The exercises were heid
around the band stand at the park, and
benches were arranged in a semi-circle
about the stand. People were stand
ing back of these benches, clear to the
roadway, and the drive was lined with
autos.
A more ideal day for the celebration
could not have been chosen 1t was
clear and not too hot. and an ideal
day for being out of doors. The speai--
ers' stand was gay with flags, four
large American banners floating from
the four corner posts of the band
stand. Seated in the stand were the
members of the executive committee
which planned this celebration. the
chaplain, speakers, and those in charge

Bio Crowds at Park.

Before i2:G0 o'clock yesterday, peo-
pie began going to the park and by the
time the exercises were started the
benches were all comfortably file
and people were standing in open
spaces Or had driven their machines
close enough to hear the exercises.
As the afternoon wore on, more peo-
pie Joined the throng. The crowd was
most representative one, and proved
that the interest in the old fashioned
celebration has not been killed by
some of the newer methods of cele
brating Independence day.
Following the exercises, picnic sup
pers were eaten by the crowd. Nearly
every one brought their picnic baskets
well filed with everything that goes
to make a picnic worth while, and =
regular community picnic was enjoy-
ed. There were many private picnic
parties in the park too, and it resem-
