FUEL SAVERS IN DEMAND
High Priced Coal. Driving People To
Use Oii-Cookers md Hot
BIAS. Heaters,

The present scarcity. and the con-
,iuued price climbing OF both coal and
wood. have given n tremendous impe
tus to the demand for oil cook stoves.
50 the dealers say. The demand for
them Is indeed. very E1uch greater
than usual at this seas>n OF the year,
and there is apparently a considerable
shortage in the supply.
The call for economy in the use Of
coal has greatly increased the demand
for the hot-blast heater, it's economy
in the consumption OF fuel being we'll
known. The manufacturers of this
heater. the Cameron Stove Company,
OF this city, report that they are hav-
ing some difficulty in taking prompt
care OF their orders. even now, ana
they are anticipating more trouble OF
this kind later on. This company has
already booked large business on oil
cook stoves for next springs delivery,
the larger buyers placing their orders
early, In view of the extra demand
and the freight congestion.

War Conditions Having Effect
in Business Circles---Serious-
ness Of Sugar Shortage.

The seriousness OF war conditions is
being felt in all business circles in
Richmond, but there is to be observed
all along the line heroic and good
naturcd acceptance of the situation
and determination to make the best
possible OF il as il continues to de-
velop.
4 Main street business man who has
had occasion to look over the whole
Virginia and Carolina Field, so far as
is pertains TO Richmond trade and
traffic. says: at cannot be asserted
that business in all lines Is entirely
satisfactory either in Richmond or in
tho territory that Immediately AFFECTS
Richmond. There is spotty inclIha-
ton in some localities. and everything
IL made more or less uncertain by trans
portation difficulties and labor scarcity,
but there is certainly no change roi
the worse"
All Of this refers TO the general con-
ditions throughout quite a large terri
tory. In Richmond trade was Sood all

tion to do Christmas shopping carly.
and early last week they nockcd to

OF shoppers would have kept the retail

town folks had remained at home every

Jobbcrs report lighter trade. but
there is nothing unusual about this.
for their business always drops off
as the holiday season approaches. How

Frederick v. Burns, chairman of the
fire prevention committee of the Ma

Agents, has this TO say in regard to
fire waste in this country:
Tho recent disastrous food fires in
Rochester. \. T., where nearly $1,000.
900 in grain was destroyed; the stock
yards fire in Kansas City, where 1000
cattle and $500 hogs were burned. and

losses from preventable fires which are
Gripping the nation at this critical

ha, 23,973. In making the comparison,
however, the fact must be considered that
the Boston campaign has run a week or
two longer than in any other city.
In the matter Of attendance the Boston
campaign has fulfilled all expectations.
There j. a pronounced division Of opin-
ion, however, as 20 the permanent bene-
fits that are likely to result. Some Of
those who have followed the campaigns in
other cities have declared that the en-
thusiasm aroused in Boston has not
reached the saIne high pitch that did in
Philadelphia, Baltimore, Pittsburgh and
other cities. Ii estimated that fully half
OF the total attendance has been made up
Of delegations from outside points. Many
az the churches Of Boston, estimated at
considerably more than one half of the
total. have held entirely aloof from the
campaign. Sunday himself has complain
Cd Of the indifference manifested by the
conservative element Of Boston society.
But Nfr. Sunday declares il has been a
great revival and expresses himself as
well satisfied with the results. The
churches that were instrumental in bring
Ing him here likewise believe that the
