Current Comment

The business minds of America have
pretty we'll come to the conclusion that
there is to be no slowing down Of busi-
ness activity. Some industries will oe
affected by the war if it continues
many months, we all take for granted.
The stoppage of unnecessary work and
curtailment of unnecessary expendi-
lures, together with the practice Of
public and private economy, must
bring a slowing down in a number OF
directions. Luxury trades will feel the
diversion, but energy released in one
quarter will be doubly in demand else
where; it will be concentrated on an
immense amount Of work that must be
done TO make a thorough success OF
this war, which is the one great pu--
pose TO which the nation is addressing
itself.-The Mechanics and Metals
National Bank.
Business is fast feeling the effect of
government demand in many lines. In
some staple lines it is impossible for
the domestic trade 70 get supplies

is especially marked in various forms
Of steel. Continually advancing high
prices in all commodities are shifting
the demand from luxuries and high
priced articles to cheaper items and
those Of necessity. The enormous
absorption of liquid capital for gov
erlmental necessities is slowing down
enterprises of development and con-
struction, especially in large centres.
In some other lines government pur-
chases have created abnormal activity.
Dealers throughout the country have
large stocks in general. and are free
sellers. Moreover, they have largely
supplied their wants for the near
future and for most fall goods. The
demand for agricultural tools and i'm
plements had already extended into
providing for next spring wants. In
general there is prevailing caution, but
little apprehension, and what is felt to
be a general readjustment Is awaited
with much confidence and with such
forethought Of action as Is possible
under the circumstances.-Ihe Nations

Copper prices yesterday were quoted
slightly under those Of recent days,
both for spot and future delivery. The
volume of business is still Of small
proportions and uncertainty continues

report a somewhat better demand for
the metal. but II Is believed that con-
sumers will not enter the market to
large extent until the government de-
cides on a price it will pay for copper.

principal metals and metal products,

corresponding time Of last year, follow:

STATE
Fire Marshal May Investi-
gate Bladensburg Fire
Loss Is $1,000 More Than Originally
Estimated-Puplls Are To Use
Town And Grange Halls

Bladensburg, Jan. 30-The fire
which razed the Bladensburg school
house to the ground early Sunday
morning has been reported to the
state fire marshal at Columbus and
he may send a man to this place to
investigate the cause of the con-
flagration. The school board was
prompted to do this chiefly on ac-
count of the fact that the fire escape
door was wide open when the fire
was discovered
At a meeting of the school board,
held Monday, the damage to the
building was estimated at $6,500 and
the loss of the school furnishings at
$500, making total loss approx
mately $1,000. Less than half of this
amount of insurance was carried
AS yet no definite plans have been
made for the erection of a new struc-
ture. According to law, the building
must be of brick If it is to be two
stories in height. However, If it is
only to be one story the new struc-
ture may be of frame construction. 1t
is for the people of Bladensburg to
decide which the new school house
will be. The two-story building is
favored by many.
For the present, the high school
students and those of the grammar
grades will occupy the town hall and
the Grange hall will be occupied by
the children of the primary and in
termediate grades.
