From Trade Organs
Trade Alliances

True economists have been Just III
,le amused OF late about the economics
involved I'm a trade alliance proposed
and actually made effective as between
England. France. Italy and Russia. IL
seems they have agreed 10 trade among
themselves after the war 70 the excIu-
sion Of pretty nearly every one else IN
the world. They havs combined to ex-
change the raw material OF Russia Tor
the finished products OF the other three
countries. The method proposed -
similar to that OF a man who has dol
lar in one pocket, a watch In another
pocket and nothing In the third pocket,
and who owes some other fellow 81
which he wants to pay. He starts ac-
tive trading between his various
pockets to get enough money to pay
that debt. So he causes one pocket TO
sell tho watch to tho pocket with the
dollar in it, the empty pocket acts as
the banker or merchant who negou-
atos the deal. The empty pocket
charges a dime for It's part in the trans
action. After a while the pockets get
into negotiations for the second sale OF
tho watch. The empty pocket pulls
down another dime. This continues
until-this IS the end sought-the
empty pocket has the watch and the
dollar. But tho man who owned all
three in the first place IS in no better
position financially than he was In the
beginning. He himself still has only
the dollar and the watch, regardless OF
all MS active trading-The Black Dia-
mond.

Rising Coal Prices

restricting shipments, the result, as re-

Record Price Of Crude Oil

AZ s275 barrel as a result OF the
recent advance, Pennsylvania crude oil
is at the hlghes. price In more than
twenty years. In 1895, the previous
record price year, the quotation did not
get above $3.50 barrel. There is suf-
fcient indication OF further advances in
the price, and SO oil Is not far distant
in the opinion OF best informed oil
men. Present high prices are not
bringing out increased production in
tho Eastern fields. The new wells that
are being developed are small and the
cost Of drilling them is high. The old
Eastern oil fields have been on the de-
cline continually for many years, and
while great efforts might temporarily
increase the supply, because OF the ex-
ceptional care which has been taken of
them, their production appears TO be
permanently diminishing

Cotton

The cotton market gained from As
10 so points on the weekend session,
a movement due to covering by recent
short sellers, who we're eager to pro-
tect themselves against possible de-
velopments before business is resumed
on Tuesday. There was nothing espe-
cially I'm the news 10 account for the
upward movement. The Liverpool mar
ket was closed, little was heard as &c
the Southern spot situation and the
foreign political position evidently OF
fered nothing that was stimulating to
either buyers or sellers. Many OF the
large Wall Street houses were IN re-
ceipt OF numerous buying orders from
those who had won handsome prohts
recently on the short side and consid-
cred Il wise TO take them. Some OF
the firms were credited with buying
fully 10000 bales each OF March and
May contracts. A good many or these
orders were executed for the sccoun,

The leading local spot firms contln-

Rehexes Of War

The shortage OF print paper IN Ger
many has led to the establishment, By
order Of the Federal Council, OF cen
trial authority, which will secure and
control supplies for all the German
daily newspapers. This authority will
be established In Berlin as a limited
liability company, with 4 board Of
twenty members, Of whom ten will
be appointed by the imperial and fed
eral governments, four will be paper
manufacturers and four will De news
paper publishers Prices are TO be
fixed every six months on the basis
Of cost ct the source OF supply. The
official announcement says that "in
view Of the economic, political and
military Importance of the press, es-
pecially in time OF war, it has been
the effort OF the imperial government
TO secure as far as possible for the
newspapers the supply Of paper at
moderate prices during the period Of
the war, In order to mako il possible
for them to hold out"
Recent difficulties experienced by
Japanese dealers in obtaining zinc and
lead ores from Australia are now being
overcome, says THE Economist" OF
London, and contracts have been placed
for shipments Of at least 10000 tons
Of zinc ore during the next twelve
months, which will yield between 3d.
900 and 10000 tons OF refined metal ,
sufficient for the years requirements.
There has been a remarkable develop
ment in the manufacture OF chlorate
of potash during the last year, and
now as much as 238 tons are exported
in two months, which is more than a
whole years output before the war.
The price OF coal has recently advanced
greatly, owing to the industrial &C
tivity created by the war and high
freight on coal exports. A Toxic firm
has just accepted contract to supply
500 900 fuses with guncotton for Rus
sia; but war orders from that country
have much slackened OF late, to the
great disappointment OF those who ex-
pected the 100000 yen loan recently
hoated by Russia in Japan to be wholly
expended on munitions and supplies in
that country.

WAY IS DISCOVERED
 WHEREBY WASTE PA
 PER MADE INTO COAL
NORWEGIAN DIsCOVERER GIVES OUT PROCESS; MEANS GREAT
 SAVING.

Manufacture Of coal from waste pa per is described in a report made pub lie few days ago by the department of commerce at Washington from the Amercian consul Dennison, at Chris tiania, Norway. The project is said to be practicable and an exploiting company has already been formed by Norwegian interests.
 The inventor Of the coal is named by Consul Dennison as R. V. Strellenert, a Goethenburg engineer. The process is said to be that of producing coal in powder form from sulphite lye.
 Tt is stated that this process" the report says, produced coal powder almost equal in calorific value to first class coal - namely, $500 calories against 1000 in the case of the best English coal. The process has been tested and proved to the satisfaction of Norwegian interests. A company under the title Of Sulphite Coal, Linn tied, has been formed, with a mini mum capital of s42S,OO0 to exploit it.
 'Tt is estimated that if the coal powder is made of all the sulphite lye refuse of Norway, 30 per cent of the import coal will be replaced"
 According to Dr. Strellenert's meth cd the lye will be mixed with some for eign material after the boiling of the sulphite, then it will be transferred to large kiln, where it will be boiled again under high pressure. Under this process the lye is changed and the sub stance, which is converted into coal, sinks to the bottom and is then taken out in the form of a thick, black paste. The water, which remains in the paste, is then removed in ma chine and the residue is coal in the powdered form The powder will then in all probability, be made into brfquets and used in the same manner as coal.
