ing the best brand Of cement to handle,

Importance Of having the BEST material
for all cement work. than to merely men,
ton a few Of the contracts which the
United States Government recently awar-
ded the Tidewater Portland Cement Com
pany for vast quantities of their cement

Briefly stated. here are some Of the
large contracts for cement referred to:
Fifty thdhnsand barrels for all cement
work in the District of Columbia during
1915:
Twenty-Five thousand barrels for pave
ments in the District of Columbia;
Fifteen thounsand barrels for the
United States Government through the
General Supply Committee;
Fifteen thousand barrels for the United
States Navy building in Washington;
Three thousand barrels for the United
States Government Fish wharves at
Washington.
In addition to the above. the Bureau of
Yards and Docks contracted for cement
from tho Tidewater Company to cover all
requirements for such material during
1916 for the Navy Yard in Norfolk. the
Navy Yard in Philadelphia, the Navy
Yard in Washington, and the Navy Yard
and United States Naval Academy at
Annapolis, Md.
Government Demands Quality.
In further recognition of the su-
perior quality OF Tidewater Portland
Cement the government has used it
exclusively in the construction of
many of its most important buildings.
some OF which are shown on this page
Notable among these buildings are the
Store House at the Washington Navy
Yard. the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing and the Bureau of Standards
inswashinSton. The Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing is particularly re-
e.
ture. All OF the paper. currency of
the United States government, includ-
ing bank notes for Federal Reserve
banks. are produced in this building,
and thus the structure typifes strength
and durability as represented in the
stability OF the United States currency
produced therein.
Uncle Sam demanded the same
standard of safety and security in the
construction of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing building that he de-
an insurance for all time to come, the
utmok care was used in the select
ing OF materials of only the highest
grade fog use-in its construction AZ
ter undergoing this scrutiny and the
utmost exactions for excellence, Tide
water Portland Cement was exclu-
sively used sin connection with the
construction of the Bureau of Engrav-
ing and Printing building. The vast
amount of $4,000 barrels were required
for use in this structure.
Not only for the government. but for
industrial cooperative construction work

part OF the United States the quality
OF this cement makes it preferred
by contractors. The largest contract
now engaging the attention of the Tide
water Portland Cement Company is the
REINFORCED concrete bridge extend
ing from Baltimore to Brooklyn. Md, in
Anne Arundel County. The bridge and
its approaches are nearly two miles in
length. and the approaches as well as
the bridge are being constructed of solid
concrete. THIS contract alone calls for
coo barrels of cement.
Among other contracts are the follow
ing:
Fifteen thousand 1prels for the cree
New Bedford. Va.
Thirty thousand barrels for the large
dam and reservoir to supply the city of
Cumberland. Md, with water.
Twenty-Five thousand barrels to supply
the city government of Wilmington, bel,
for concrete work during 1915.
Forty thousand barrels for the large
filtration plant and Montebello Reser-
voir to supply the city of Baltimore
with water:
Thirty thousand barrels for use in
double tracking the Southern Railway
system in Virginia;
Fifty thousand barrels for new con-
struction ard Improvements on the
Pennsylvania raiIi Dad system.
Tremendous Daily Capacity.
To promptly fill such large contracts as
mentioned above. as well as many 9TH
ers OF minor importance perhaps but
the Aggregate of which smaller con-
tracts calls for many thousands of bar
rels Of cement. it will readily be imas-
ined that the Underwater Cement COM
pany must have a large factory and
turn out a vast amount of cement every
day in order 10 handle such an enor-
nous business. While the general Of
fees of the company are in the Calvert
Building. Baltimore, its big plant is at
Union Bridge. Md. The plant covers a
large area and is equipped with the
most improved machinery for making
a standard and high-class quality of
cement. all of which is tested before
shipment
At present the company is making
1000 barrels of cement, every day at
the Union Bridge plant. This plant
also turns out daily 100 tons of hy-
drafted lime for agricultural, chemical
and building purposes.

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
SATURDAYS MARKET.
Speculation Was on Conservative Lines
 Market Showed Breadth.

New York, July 31-By comparison with the heavy trading and wide movements of the earlier days of the week, today's stock market inclined toward the prosaic. Speculation was on more conservative lines. The out side demand for the war shares fell off largely and the extent of their rise of the week brought up the ques- ton of their stability at prevailing prices.
 Accordingly there was tendency to shift speculation to other lines, and the market developed greater breadth. Widest movements were still in the war groups, but other industrials, such
 as the fertilizers, and also the railroad
 stocks figured more prominently in the transaction. Total sales were 260, 900 shares.
 Opening changes were slight. Pro-
 fessional traders felt their way until 1t became evident that there was a steady undertone, whereupon broad buying movement was begun. Prices rose easily and during the greater part of the half session a higher level pre- vailed, with gains running up to five points.
 In the last half hour the market felt the effect of proht-taking sales. Holders of speculative lines of the
 war shares were disposed to reduce
 their commitments-a step which was advised in some instances by commits
 sion houses. The consequent tendency toward reaction was emphasized by
 reports that four Americans had lost their lives on the steamship Iberian, although the British nationality of the vessel and the circumstances attend ing her sinking made the incident less disturbing to the street than the tor pedoing of the Leelanaw. In the late
 reaction quotations were depressed sharply and final changes were irreg-
 ular, with net losses for some of the favorite war issues. The trend toward
 bullish speculation in the railroads was
 attributed primarily to good showings
 in June statements. New York Gen. | traps figures, with net earnings over $1,675, 900 in excess of last year, caused an upturn in that stock. The benefits expected on the basis of good crop
 prospects and the optimistic tenor of trade reviews also were of influence on the railroad stocks.
 The bond market was firm. Total sales (par value) $1, ,425, ,000, United States bonds were unchanged on call.

|GERMAIN'S DOUBLE WINS THE CAME
Score3-0-Danies Pitched Good Game-Wauregan too Much forkT TaftyiIle. Saturday.

Bunchfng hits in the~sevenfh inning paved the way to a victory for Taft vile over the strong Emeralds at Will limantsc Sunda yafternoon before a large crowd The game was nip and tuck throughout in which Daniels of Fort Wright, pitching for the victors had the Emeralds at his mercy at and. speed. BRoth teams were able to get scratchkhits at times but the one two, three order prevailed until the lucky seventh dawned. Then Winch, with two men down, singled and went around to third on DeCeiles' single. Both Winch and DeCelles scored when Old Soapine Germain smashed out a two bagger which practically won the game. In the eighth TaftviIle scored again whn Normander singled, stole second and third and scored when Cor coran booted DeCelles' grounder.
 The Emera1ds were held from the danger zone by Daniels at all times save the sixth when Adams led off with a triple, Doyle grounded out and the soldier famed the next wo men. Rainey in right field made sensa- that looked good for the extra base route.
 Wauregan took Taftville's measure on the Providence Street grounds, at TaftviIle, Saturday afternoon, and scored a to 1 victory. With the help of several. errors and timely hits wauregan scored the necessary runs to sew up the game. Germain made feature catch of foul ball in left when Rainey stabbed hot one off Geers bat and doubled Labelle at first.

 Vernon. pitching nasterfui game for the visitors was certainly up to his neck in a hole at this crucial stage of the pastime, but the breaks came In his favor and he got away with his victory. Larry Mclean. the old Giant catcher and hero of worlds series, was snapped up by Dickinson, and the next two men struck out, Vernon in the meantime having unloosed a wild pitch that shot against the corner of the plate and bounded directly back into his hands--a chance In a thou sand. If that wild heave hadn't done just that thing, the score would have certainly been tied and then a whole lot of other things might have hap pened-
 Up to the eighth inning Putnam seemed doomed to a shutout but at hitter, started a rally that developed a run.
 White, doing the twiriing for Put nam, was touched up more freely than was Vernon, but both were given mag nificent support. A number of South bridge hits that were reduced by ground rules to singles were good for extra bases. and the same was true of lesser number of Putnam hits.
 Every man in the outfield of both teams played grand ball. One-hand catches in the crowd by Dickinson and Johnson were sensational in the ex- treme and were enthusiastically ap- plauded.
 Four hundred rooters came here with the Southbridge team and enjoyed themselves to the limit.

Especial to The Bulletin. l

Putnam, July 31-Southbridge rep- resented by the American Optical com pany team, managed by Slim McIn- tyre formerly of Norwich, won the grandest old ball game that this city has seen in many year, 8 to g. on Morse field Saturday afternoon. and thereby evened up the running in the three-game series that Is to be con- cluded at Southbridge next Saturday
 That the town went baseball mad over the event is indicated by the fact that approximately 2,800 fans crowded through the gates, establishing a new high record attendance for Putnam The entire field was encircled by the crowd. making ground rules necessary and giving the outfleld players much difficulty in doing justice to them selves. Time and again the fielders went into the crowd in left, center and right field to make catches that were of the circus variety. The crowd was so large as to otherwise interfere with the playing of the game, but everybody was good natured and proclaimed the contest one of the finest, cIeanest and most exciting ever seen here. There wasn't sign of a protest from either side from first to last. The game abounded with fast plays, clean hitting and the best of everything in the base ball shop.
 The we'll oiled Southbridge machine played near a perfect game and were entitled to their hard earned victory. which, however, was nearly snatched away from them in a ninth inning rally that gave Putnam one run and had the bases filled with only one man down
