WINDOW GLASS
PRICES HIGHER
And the Market is NotiCeabIy
Stronger with all Glass
Scarce at Present.

PITTSBURG, Aug 5.-The Glass
worker announces that the window
glass market is becoming stronger, 1t
says;
Window glass Is scarce at present,
and the market is noticeably strong
er.
While no circular announcing new
prices has been issued, the American
Window Glass Company has entirely
abandoned the March 10 schedule,
and is not quoting an advance Of one
point higher, or from eight to eleven
per cent above the March discounts,
depending on the character of the
specifications. 1t Is said that where
orders call for large amounts Of A
glass or excessive quantities Of popn-
lar sizes, any price obtaInable is quot
ed Some Of the other operating
plants are following this policy also
From present indications all stocks
will be cleaned up within sixty days.
Within the next two months 1t is ex-
pected that the jobbers will have
moved their stocks, some of them
rather large, and the deck be cleared
for rather brisk demand perceding
the starting OF the fires.
The output has been reduced by
the closing Of a number OF factories
within the last few days, the present
product being scarcely large enough
to supply the shorts that the trade
demands.
The following letter to the trade
has been issued by the Johnston
Brokerage Company:
Two machine plants closed on Sat
urday, July 29.-Another VIII close

Boston Auto Show.

In another week the Boston Auto
mobile Show will be on. From an ex-
hibition standpoint it will be the
greatest show in the history of the in
dustry as it will show more models
and different makes than have ever
been displayed at any show in this
country. The decorations for the
show will be worthy of the colossal
exhibition. Manager Campbell gives
it as his opinion that it will be the
most dazzling spectacle that he has
provided in the fourteen years Of con-
Quoting the Boston Auto Show.
Although the show doesn't open un-
til Saturday afternoon. March 4, yet
hundreds of men are now at work
Transforming Mechanics Building into
a place of beauty. For months artists
have been busy preparing the scenic
effects. Several hundred thousand
crystal pendals pendants will be used.
These will be Illuminated by vari-
colored electric lamps. E. W. Camp
bell. the artistic architect, who has
designed the decorations, states that
the illuminated arches Of crystal that
win greet the eye of the visitors as
they enter Exhibition Hall will be a
scene that they will long remember.
The renaissance brought down to
modern times is the motif Of the
decorations. The promenade in ex-
hibition hall will be arched over in
crystal and Illuminated BY electric
lights. Vertical panels Of black and
white will cover the columns and from
post to post will extend elliptical arch
es in dark foliage with the softits
edged with electric bulbs.
In Grand Hall overhead Is to be a
glistening scintilla of lighting effects
in crystal color and design. The main
floor central structures will be typical
Of the industry and its marvellous
growth. Eight vertical antique col
umns will form resting place for
several finely modelled herculean fig.
ures carrying a great auto wheel on
their bent shoulders. These figures
represent INDUSTRY PROGRESS
INVENTION and SUCCESS. Above
all in the centre is to be a large figure
Of PROSPERITY with her full cornu-
copia. The tires, spokes and cornu-
copia/ will be brilliant with hundreds
Of electric ights.-Adv.

idly drawing near at hand, is now the

very rapidly. While City hall is large
