LITTLE IMPROVEMENT
IN SOFT COAL OUTPUT
Official Returns for Week of
March % Behind Those
of March 8

Though weather conditions have been
propitious for mining and railroading
for a month or more, there is not a great
deal of encouragement in the figures
put out by the United States Geological
Survey For the week ended March 2S,
the latest covered by the official re-
turns, the production was 1922 900 tons
OF bitumlnous, little in excess OF the
week before, but substantially behind
the output for the week ended March .,
when the tonnage was 1926. 900. Bee
hive coke output fell from $4,000 tons
for the week ended March 16 to .635, 900
for the week ended March 90.
The Government reports indicate pret-
ty clearly that the Government railroad
administration has made little. IL any,
progress in solving the car supply ques-
tion. Statistics in this regard are COM
plete only to March 16, but they show,
for the whole country, that the loss of
tonnage due to lack of cars was heavier
in the week ended March 16 than in any
previous week back 60 February 8. Per-
centages of tonnage lost, owing to lack
of cars, in districts supplying this ter
ritory are reported as follows:

leather is being put IN storage In THIS
country until shipping facilities are
available and the tanner receives his
money on warehouse receipts. II is
probable that the leather will remain
In this country until after the close OF
the war. These foreign buyers believe
that leather prices will take big jump
when the war is over, as the millions
of people in the central nations are des-
titute for leather and shoes. The other
European countries are known to be
short on leather Some leather is being
shipped TO Italy, but the amounts are
not large,

More army orders for shoes are ex-

ment will be needed in large quantities

Light offal Is drug on the market.
Oak and union heads cropped from light

Gently sold at twenty-one cents, but
buyers are not now willing to pay this
price. A good call is noted for medium
and heavy oak bellies. Anything of
good quality and weight suitable for
Goodyear innersoling is selling readily.
Heavies bring thirty-seven cents and
mediums cent less
Betting butts at ninety-fve cents are
trifie easy and sizable lots could be
purchased at cent or two less for the
best tannages. The future of this mar.
ket is assured, however, as the great

JAPANESE BANK PUSHES
INTO FOREIGN FIELDS

Some months ago it was reported
that the Yokohama Specie Bank would
be enlarged along the lines of the Brit
ish Trade Bank, an institution proposed
in Britain with view to facilitating
oversee trade after the war 1t is now
reported that the regulations govern
ing the functions of the Yokohama
Specie Bank will be modified so that
it may be so enlarged with the object
of promoting Japan's financial and eco
nomic development abroad.
As first step toward extending its
operations the Yokohama Specie Bank
already has begun advancing money to
Japanese merchants abroad especially
in the United States, Hawaii and
Canada The latest accommodation is
100000 yen ($34S950) for Japanese

pected that foreign investments of this
kind by the bank will be gradually in

The Auto Cowpunchers

A few uses for the motorcar develop
every day which indicate the utility Of
this modern wonder. Cattlemen are now
using motorcars where they once used
COW ponies. and finding them a marked
improvement. One stockman uses his
car to drive his herds to market during
the hot weather. The car makes driving
in the cool of night possible. He gets
the herd started ahead of him and then
honking. In this way he gets the cattle
to market in record time. Light cars
are widely used on the range for many
kinds of work where horses were for
men to GET more work done. thus in
creaslng Americas food supply. This is
but one of many reasons why the motor
is a necessity in this country.--Mile-
stones.
