NATIVE PRODUCTS IN DEMAND

The clay, coal and sand industries in
the vicinity OF Ottawa are assured oil
several years of continuous business,
as the result of the present war. IN
quires are being received frori firms
wishing to engage in the sand o. clay
business. The clay and sand deyel-
opment in this vicinity during the
next two years will not be exceeded
by any line of industry in this yicin-
ity.
The prosperity of the steel industry
is responsible for the demand for clay.
coal and sand products. Within
year pig iron has advanced from S22
to nearly $5l, plates from 4 to SIG
cents, sheets from $50 to I.5t cents
and coke from s2.75 to $3.50. In the
rough, prices doubled during he past
twelve months.
Railroads are ordering necessary
equipment more freely than for many
months, but deliveries will be long
postponed for the reason just speci'
fed. Evidently the steel industry Is
in for lond period of strenuous ac-
tiyity, large profits and consequent
prosperity.
The same Is true Of the mineral in
dustries and all other establishments
concerned directly or indirectly in the
production OF munitions. These expec-
iations are based upon the remote
contingency of peace. Intense activ-
ity prevails in the petroleum industry,
and May was the record month for
new enterprises, the number of new
oil concerns reported In the United
States being 6S, with total capital
of $70,0O0,000; while since the war
began. the number Of new concerns
reported was 500, with a combined
capital of $S20,000,00 This shows
extraordinary development.
The cement industry is not enjoy
ing the prosperity of other kindred in
dustries. The demand for cement has
dropped OIL lately because of thu
scarcity of labor for new buildings
and for road making. Cement has ad
vanced in'price but the output of tn
factories has been curtailed.
