The production of nitrogen from the
air in Germany. which was only 10000
tons In 1913, has been so successful
that 100000 tons We're so produced in

will be produced this year. According

The Last of Stale Bread

II all the regulations which may be
established to govern food production
and conservation can be measured by
tho request of the Council of National
Defence that the bakers at once put
stop TO their ancient custom of accept
ing returns cf stale bread, it is clear
that the food business is going to have
a thoroughly salutary house-cleaning
The prevention Of waste is, in the long
run. directly beneficial to the producer
and the government is evidently going
20 help him to do what he has long
wanted but been unable to do. The
stale bread nuisance has for years been
one of the chief plaques OF the bakery
trade Everybody recognized IL lot
what it was: wholesale waste OF
good material. doing nobody any good,
maintained only because each baker was
afraid of his competitors. The retainer
who wanted dozen loaves was induced
TO take two dozen on the ground that
he could return the unsold ones; the
baker paid the extra cost, knowing tnat
if he revoked the obnoxious privilege
some other baker would use 1t as a
means for getting the retailers trade
for himself. The return OF unsold
bread was long a favorte theme at
bakers conventions; its evils were pun,
lished abroad and the trade was urged
TO "do somthng about it But the
lurking competitor around the corner
kept that something from being done,
and the baker kept on supplying the
rotailer with bread he did not want,
and gazing day by day at the surplus
and practically unstable production
which was deposited on his hands

view Manor, Westchester County, are
TO be sold at auction TO the highest bid
Gers at 1890 o'clock Saturday, July 81.
The sale will be held under a big tent
on the premises by Joseph P. Day and
J. Clarence Davies, agents and auc-
tioneers.
In this fine auction offering are 39i
building plots. consisting OF more than
1000 lots and four houses.
Riverview Manor is at Hastings, and
is one of the charming suburban col
onies just north of the northerly gate
way to the city. 1t is surrounded by
large and prominent estates.
In the first year of the development
of this property there was expended by
the owners and the developers more
than 100000 on physical improvements.
Since that time several million dollars
has been invested in completing these
improvements and in the construction
of delightful colony homes. ranging IN
cost all the way from $4,000 TO $4,000
There has been practically no selling
to speculative builders, and the Hast
ings Homes Company, the owners, have

Division Driveway. Euclid and Calumet
Avenues, Buena Vista Driveway, Broad
way, South Lawn Avenue and Summit
Driveway.
From practically all parts Of the
property there are superb views of the
Hudson River and the Palisades and OF
the countryside 10 the north. The
property has been carefully but con-
servatively restricted with a view OF
creating a high class residential sec
ton, and from which all nuisances have
been eliminated. Water, gas and cleo
tricity mains have been installed; the
streets are macadamized, and have
curbs, cutters and sidewalks. There is
also high pressure water service and
ample fire hydrants.

Not in Favor
Of Granting a
Year of Grace
Board Against Giving More
Time to Complete Buildings
Passed on Before Zone Law

The Real Estate Boards Committee
on Building Heights and Zoning has
advised the Board of Estimate and APP
portionment that it is opposed TO the
proposed extension from one year to
two years of the time for completing
buildings for which permits had been
issued before the coming resolution
was passed, and its approval of the
plan to remove the restrictions from
Columbus Avenue, in the vicinity Of
Sixtieth to Sixty-third streets, and
Sixty-third Street east of Amsterdam
Avenue.
In relation to the first proposal the
Real Estate Board says: "The petition
submitted to the Board of Estimate by
the Builders Protective Association
asking that the time allowed under the
building zone resolution for buildings
20 be carried to the second tier Of
beams be extended from one TO two
years has been given careful consld-
Grafton. and, in view of the fact that
the wear originally allowed was rea-
sonable concession and that there are
not sufficient grounds for further ex-
tending the time for those who have
not taken advantage of it, the proposal
is opposed
In relation to the second, it says:
"The proposal that use district map,
section s, be amended so as to include
within an unrestricted district an area
taking in approximately the north side
of Sixty-third ST., from Amsterdam ave.
to Broadway, and Columbus ave, from
100 feet south of Sixty-third st. to 100
feet north of Sixtieth ST., and the south
side of Sixty-third st. to Amsterdam
ave. has been carefully considered and
approved From the report of the com
mittee on city plan it is indicated that
the original petition asking for this
change was signed by large proper
ton Of the property owners, and this
boards committee feels that the vsri-
Gus requirements growing out of the
local extension Of the automobile IN
dustry can be better served by the pro-
posed change than if the present re-
strictions were continued"

Cotton Goods Trade

Dry goods purchases of late have not
been so large as earlier in the season,
but government demands for heavy
cottons continue on a large scale, and
prices are still tending upward. A
further advance Of one cent a yard was
announced last week on branded lines
of bleached cottons; drills are up an
other cent a yard, and staple ging-
hams, percales and brown cottons have
advanced again. Fine cottons are
growing frmer and showing a more
decided upward trend. Government
authorities are calling upon the yarn
industry to supply duck yarns, so that
looms not regularly employed on cot
ton duck weaves can be used in serving
the needs of the government for tent
age.
Jobbers have been buying more
goods for future delivery, but the large
buyers have been the manufacturing
trades and factors supplying Red Cross
and government requirements. Prices
in retail channels continue below
parity Of values in mill centres, raw
material and other high producing
costs not yet being reflected in quoted
prices at the counters. In the last six
months cotton goods values nave risn
more than 40 per cent.
Prices quoted are as follows: Print

France Coins More Silver

1t is stated in an official French re-
port that, owing to the increasing de-
mand for silver coins, the total minted
in 1916 amounted TO l5i.283,Sl4 francs
IN nominal value, representing a total
of 1871 per cent above that of 1915, and
a weight of silver exceeding 20.700, 900
ounces. The report adds that this con-
siderable coinage. which is applied to
replace small paper notes in circulation,
ought 20 maintain public confidence in
the use of the small notes issued by
the Chamber of Commerce as a tempo
rary expedient during the war. United
States government purchases for mint.
ing purposes have been Mt the rate Of
900 ounces weekly, and further pur-
chases are likely as military and naval
forces on foreign service usually are
paid In coin.

From Trade Journals
The Labor Trouble at Butte

The labor trouble at Butte has at
tanned Unexpectedly serious proper
tions. While this was, without any
doubt, stirred up by pro-German inter
ests, seeking deliberately 70 make
trouble, it is clear now that there was
an underlying dissatisfaction among
the miners. The North Butte disaster
afforded the psychological time for the
pro German agitators, self-seekIng
labor leaders and others 10 crystalize
this. and they took prompt advantage
of il. The dissatisfaction may be said
to focus on working and living condl-
tions in Butte. With respect to most
Of the grievances, the companies are
not responsible, and the complaints OF
the men should really be directed 10
other quarters. Thus, in the matter
OF safety in the mines, the Anaconda
company has been among the leaders
of the mining companies OF the coun-
try in promoting safety measures. Such
a company does not want to have &C
cidents any more than the men do. In
deed, the company IS VIGOROUSLY more
careful than its men. The recent &C
cident in the North Butte-which is
not an Anaconda mine-was distinctly
due to the carelessness of one OF us
employees, was due to gros, stupidity
and was entirely beyond the control
Of the Management, yet the North
Butte company is obliged to pay-and
properly 10 pay-a large sum OF money
under the workmen's compensation law
to provide for the families OF those
men who innocently lost their lives.
The cruX of the matter between the
companies and the miners is the de-
mand Of the latter for increased wages.
The miners are already getting the
highest wages ever known in Montana.
The companies have in a way made
them partners in the business, giving
them wages that increase on a shding
scale. according to the price for copper,
so that when the companies make more
money the men earn more. inns is
eminently fair, and heretofore 1t has
been supposed TO be quite satisfactory.
But the men now say that they are not
getting enough. They say that when
their wages advance the landlords and
tradesmen of Butte advance their
charges. The landlords and tradesmen
say that they have to advance them
owing to the increasing demands OF
the mechanics plumbers, the car
penters, brick masons, etc.-who work
for them. Here we have an exhibition. OF
the same old vicious circle, the working
OF which is at last being recognized by
the highest among the labor leaders;
to squeeze more money out of the COM
panes. The real solution of their
troubles is economy, and in getting 1t
they ought to make the beginning by
fixing things with the unions in other
trades. Unless they do, the vicious
circles will rise and rise higher. until
some day they will break with general
disaster. - Engineering and Mining
