Want Mechanics
for Shipbuilding

The United States Government
Employment Service of the Depart
ment of Labor has been instructed
to make a thorough canvass of the
Northwest with the hope of secur-
ing the name and address of every
skilled mechanic who is qualified
and willing to assist in building
wooden vessels for the United
States Government, which is re-
quired to meet the necessary prep
arations for war. All men exper-
fenced as ship wrights or ship car
penters, caulkers, and iron workers
for wood ship construction, who
are willing to accept employment
in such work are urged to forward
their name and address, together
with brief statement as to their
special line of work and experience
to the office of the U. S. Govern
ment Employment Service, Seattle,
Washington.
In calling for applicants who are
experienced as ship builders there
is no element of compulsion of SER
vice. The filing of the application
does not obligate any one to accept
employment, but is desired for the
purpose of offering opportunity
to those who are willing to accept
such employment.

Growth Of Japan's
Raw Silk Industry

Japans marvellous growth in the raw
silk trade was recently celebrated at
the Yokohama Silk Conditioning House,
which observed the twentieth anniver-
sary of its establishment. Twenty
years ago the country's silk exports
amounted to 100000 yen. To-day
that amount has grown to 200,O00,o00
ven. About 5000 persons-leading silk
merchants, both foreign and native, and
many other prominent persons-were
invited to the celebration.
Throughout Japanese history the silk
industry has represented the greatest
industrial factor in the country. Ira
dition says that its origin preceded the
establishment Of the empire $500 years
ago. Akira Shido, who has been the
director Of the Yokohama Silk Condi-
tioning House almost since its estab-
lishment, said that the anniversary
celebration Of the growth Of Japsn's
greatest industry had double mean
ing. Besides showing increase in ia
pans prosperity. it illustrated the i'm
rortance Of maintaining most cordial
relations with foreign countries. espe-
cially the United States. which is ia
pans largest customer. Japan annu-
ally sells to foreign countries raw silk
worth about 2OO.OOO,OOO yen, so per
cent Of which goes to America. Amer
lea annually buys from foreign coun-
tries, such as Japan, France, Italy and
China, about 100000 pounds Of raw
silk worth 30O,OOO,O0O yen. Seventy per
cent of this is imported from Japan.
The raw silk trade is generally most
brisk from July TO October. In spite of
the fact that the trade is not as good
the first part Of the year raw silk worth
over 10000 900 yen was sent TO Amer
lea up until the end of June this year.
II looks as IL new record would be
made this year.

Advertising the Motor

Accurate compilation shows that au-
tomobile manufacturers and agents
expended over S23,OOO,OO0 last year
in advertising in newspapers and maya
zines. This is an enormous sum,
but results justified the expenditure l.
is figured that something over 1900, 900
cars, including motor trucks, were sold
last year 10 the United States. A
greater number was manufactured, bu.
the surplus went abroad. The average
advertising cost of selling a car is es-
timated at about sl5. There is no way
of figuring the average price per car,
but putting it at $1,000 the advertising
selling cost was 1 y per cent Calcu-
lated in this way, the expenditure was
not a burden on the manufactures, or
on the buyer. Results are so satisfac-
tory that advertising appropriations
for the coming year will be much heav-
Ter than in l9l6.-The Financier.

Cotton

An unusually strong statistical posi-
ton encouraged increased activity and
strength in the speculative market May
contracts sold up to 1855, or 81 points
above Fridays close, and about SOU
per bale above the low level Of last
Monday. Closing prices were within
2 or 3 points of the best. with the tone
very steady at net gain of 30 to 81
points.
The opening was comparatively quiet
and an early advance of 10 or II points
encountered realizing for over the week
end. Unfavorable Manchester trade ad-
vices and a sharp falling off in the
amount Of cotton on shipboard inclined
holders to take profits after the ad-
vance of about 90 points from the low
level of the week. The offerings were
readily absorbed, however, with the
market growing more active and firmer
toward the end of the morning on a
broadening demand from Wall Street
sources. Spot house brokers were also
buyers, but the bulk Of the demand was
attributed to Wall Street or Western
operators, and a good part of it was
supposed to represent covering OF
shorts in advance of the expected speech
from LfIe hdlSti. ne iushtsb pbAAth "
the day and movement was reached IN
the late trading, with active months
selling S3 to 35 points net higher.
Western goods distributor we're
quoted TO the effect that current busl-
ness was in excess Of last year, and
some improvement reported in the de-
mand for cotton yarn. Business IN
goods at first hands did not seem par
ticularly active, however, as Fall River
sales for the week were estimated at
10000 pieces. against 175,000 last year.
Manchester cabled that business was
dull in both cloths and yarns. and also
indicated unsettled labor conditions.
The latest circular issued by latter
sail. London, stated that an improve
ment in Manchester trade was soon eX-
pected, although no increase was ex-
pected in the output of yarns or cloths
so long as the war continued. If any
thing there appeared to be fewer spot
advices reaching here from the South,
and the falling off in the amount OF
cotton on shipboard suggested a sim
liar falling off in exports after the
turn of the month.
