has the distinction of being the first
American city to employ this product
for paving. For number of years
after its introduction, however, the use
of paving brick was confined princi-
pally to city streets, and owing II the
frequent infcrlority In the quality of
the brick ard lack of care in con
structlon, very few of the early pave
ments proved satisfactory. Even now,
after the experience of forty years
has demonstrated that 1t is entirely
practicable to construct satisfactory
brick pavements whca proper care Is
exercised, AMI that much waste re-
suits from the use Of poor materials
or faulty construction, instances can
paratlvely new pavements have wholly
or partially failed from causes which
might easily have been prevented.
The purpose of the new bulletin,
which can be had free, as long as the
departments supply lasts, by road en-
gineers, supervisors and others con-
tempiating the construction of brick
roads, Is to make clear certain inpor-
tant essentials In the choosing Of
brick for pavement and in laying Ii
so that the highway will endure.
II Is very poor economy, the engl-
neers point out, to use locally manu-
factured brick unless this brick is Of
high standard. Color, specific grav-
ity, absorptive power. or even the
crushing strength. of brick are not nee
essarily reliable tests. In general, Of
course, the brick should be uniform in
size, perfect in shape free from rag
ging and deep kiln marks. Each brick
should be homogeneous In texture and
free from Objectionable seams. Fire
cracks should be limited In number
and extent, and the entire brick should
be vitrified and should contain neither
INFUSED nor CLASSY spots.

Cotton

At the end Of the quietest day which
the trade has seen in many months the
active deliveries Of cotton showed
losses OF roughly 81 TO Sl.25 bale:
During the morning session they gained
on an average about 20 points, but after
midday the course was abruptly re-
versed and prices lost nearly 90 points,
from which there was fair rally
shortly before the close.
To a large extent the market was In
fuenced by developments IN the south
and in Liverpool. For example, the
latter was about % American points
better than had been expected. which
accounted in part for our early buoy
ancy, but the English market then
turned decidedly weaker. prices show
ing losses Of IL 20 Is points at the
close, and this had much TO do with our
afternoon recession. In addition 70 ire
encouraging early cables, many buying
orders were received from abroad, IL
being stated that English traders TOOK
fully $4,000 bales here, against whlch
they mado sales in their own market
because Of the attractive difference.
The early upturn in our market was
also based in part on the belief that
the decline early in the week had great
~ improved the markets technical po-
sition, shorts as we'll as bull traders
buying or the theory that some recov-
cry was In order. Tho subsequent
break was attributed almost wholly to
heavy general liquidation.
New Orleans and other Southern In
terests sold freely, which was generally
regarded as a reflection of the weak
ness in the big Southern market Back
of all this, however, was the tighten
/ ing OF financial conditions In that quar-
ter. II was said that many Southern
banks we're urging their depositors 70
sell their cotton at present attractive
prices in order that they might pay OF
/ the loans, which the banks are unwill-
/ ing TO extend. AS a result, 1t was said
that offerings were larger In spot mar
! kets, while demand was less animated.
/ Still, there was no material break In
prices, and New Orleans reported sales
! of $500 bales st 2oA cents, or the same
/ basis as on Wednesday, while Augusta
reported sales of Lass bales, also at
/ Wednesdays figure, 20A cents. The
Giles report placed the crop at H.

while one of the trade houses estimat-
/ ed 11,071 900 bales.
