Metals.-Speltcr prices were lowered
for the third consecutive day. Dealers
are now quoting So cents q pound for
prompt delivery. The reduction earlier
in the week in lead has failed TO stimu-
late buying. Copper holds strong, with
domestic consumers offering q larger
volume of business. The exports Of
copper for the week ended August
were 6,O71 tons, against 3,OS6 tons in
the same week last year. From August
exports were 1886 tons. against 800
tons in the corresponding period last
year.
Advices from the Birmingham iron
and steel district indicate that iron
manufacturers in the main are well
booked for the remainder Of the year.
Meanwhile trading is confined to small
lots going on the usual basis OF $40.
Export iron movements from the
Birmingham district during July were
more than $4,000 tons, the bulk going
to Genoa through Gulf ports. The
movement of steel shapes to France for
the Allies was around 10000 tons in
the same period. Cast iron pipe shops
continue to report quiet period, but
the volume of small orders is sufficient
to maintain SO per cent Of capacity out

Strictly Business Basis.

Il is not necessary TO review the
history OF the Shell Committee in de-
tail. Reorganization came the latter
part Of November 1915, when the I'm
perial Munitions Board assumed the
direction Of the production Of NUM-
tons work in the Dominion. This new
body has carried on the mobilization
Of Canadian manufacturers, which was
begun by the Shell Committee. At its
head are two Of the Dominion's most
successful business men and the NUM-
tons orders for the Imperial authori-
ties are being placed in Canada on
strictly business and economical basis.
More than 800 manufacturing estab-
lishments are being kept busy on these
orders and employment given to at
least 100000 persons in the Dominion.
IN a statement issued short time ago
the board stated that in all +54 firms
were engaged in the machining and
assembling OF shells or in the produc-
ton Of component parts or in the
production Of powder and explosives
and In the loading Of shells or parts.
Al that time 1900 inspectors were in
the employment Of the board. In the
accounting branch alone ninety clerks
are now kept regularly employed The
Imperial Munitions Board has the re-
sponsibility Of purchasing the steel
and the component parts entering into
The shells. They arrange for the work
10 be done upon these parts and for
their shipment TO machining and
assembling plants and they are thus
responsible for a continuous supply Of
material TO keep the assembling fac
torres employed. According to a state
ment made before the Canadian
Parliament several months ago by Sir
Robert Borden, up TO that time Canada
received orders for shells totalling
s5SO,OO0,00O. There were 432 factories
engaged and they were employing 1885,
VVO men. The monthly output then
was valued at more than SS0.Ooo.o0o.
Big Volume Exported.
Nor is Canada so far behind in de-
''er'es as is supposed by some. II is
'rue that the production Of complete
smells IS below what it should be. the
0e'sy being due TO inability 10 secure
prompt delivery Of all component
parts. The volume Of orders has ex-
seeoed the capacity to fill them.
nevertheless, Canada's showing with
u'''Verles is a creditable one. On Janu-
',y H. Mr.. j. W. Flavelle. chairman

tse. that while some manufacturers

n.nt and equipment, to make good
rrOfts. many others have suffered
actual distress in carrying out their
undertakings. The early problems OF
the manufacturers Of shells called for a
degree Of organizing ability that has
not been surpassed in Great Britain or
the United States, and the fact that
Canadian firms are producing shells to-
day, after one year Of experience, at
one-ouarter Of the Woolwich Arsenal
costs before the war speaks volumes
for the ingenuity and the efficiency OF
our people; while our contribution to
the munition supply at the firing line
has been very considerable, indeed.

LOCKE COMPLETES MAPS OF Old
SPANISH TRAIL ACROSS SOUTH
Ell Paso is On Route Of New National Highway From
Florida to California; Books Will Be Distributed
All Over the United States, According to
Harry Locke.

engineer Harry Locke yesterday said:
IF those who motor over the Old
Spanish Trail derive One-half the
pleasure I have experienced in map
ping it from California to Jacksonville
their outing will be continued enjoy
ment without hardships and Just
enough experiences with unfinished
roads to make them better appreciate
hard surfaced highways.
This route connecting the orange
groves Of Florida with those OF Cali
fOrnia is entirely feasible and is des-
tined to become the most important
and popular cross country road in the
United States. It is favored CLIMATE
calIy geographically and Topographic
caIIy In fact there is not a stretch
Of it that is not being Travelled daily
locally and it only remains to connect
up the local communities to make the
highway project practical OF course
there is much work TO be done to bring
about a splendidly surfaced roadway
from ocean to ocean, but that work
will quickly follow an increased travel.
Good roads are built where travel
requires them and none are found
where no one goes, and the best are
where traffic is the heaviest Travel is
absolutely a condition precedent to
any extended road construction.
"Our association is receiving con-
slant inquiries for routings and maps
Of the Old Spanish Trail by people
who desire coming to Florida by auto
tributed you may expect a heavy tour
list travel from the west. They want
to come but do not know the way
Every part Of the country but this
part Of the south is fully provided
with this character Of publicity"

BATTERIES WEAR OUT;
CANNOT LAST FOREVER

After repeated inquiries as TO what
the life of a storage battery should be,
the subject has been covered in brief
by the Willard Storage Battery CON-
pany Of Cleveland. They contend first
OF all that its life depends upon its
construction, its care and the service
it receives
Taken all together. a storage bae-
terry, well cared for. costs less to main
tain than any other accessory as vital
II kept charged at proper rate and filled
with pure water. the life of a first-class
battery averages from one and one-half
years up.
AT the same time, a battery, however
well made and well cared for. will wear
out and must be renewed. It is an cleo
tro-chemical apparatus constantly
changing its condition TO supply cur
rent for lamps and starter The better
the materials, care and factory service

lleve battery should last indefinitely
like spring or an axle. but this belief
is being overcome by the educational
measures of progressive manufacturers
who want their customers to know why
certain facts are facts"
