Some Hone for Shoe nuyera.

Following the recent countermandinG

the statement through official channels.

pairs more of heavy trench shoes will
he wanted this year. instead of the L.
100000 pairs per month that it had
been previously estimated would be re-
auired These development have caused
not little surprise and disappoint-
ment in trade circles, although there
is still heavy consumption of leather
by the government. both of sole and
upper stock. and the British buying
commission has again become active in
domestic markets With war needs

the bulk OF available material, regular
civilian business continues restricted
in most instances; but there has natu-
rally been no lessening of the strength
OF prices. While no further changes
in quotations are noted. full rates are
readily obtained on practically all
transactions.

HIGHER FREIGHT RATES
Increased Tariff That Went Into Eject
Inst Week Caused Little Kick
Ing in Richmond.

Under the orders OF the director
general OF railroads. freight rates on
all the lines centering in Richmond
were advanced last week. approximate
~ 25 per cent There has been slight
delay In getting some of the tariffs.
but il Is generally known that the
new rates apply to. both Interstate and
interstate shipments and to pretty
much everything that Is shipped in
and out OF Richmond.
Specific advances have been made on
coal coke. dressed granite, brick, grain.
tobacco, cotton, live stock, meats.
sugar and other commodities in car
load lots. The freight officials said.
when questioned on the subject OF the
operations of the new rates. that the
shippers had been warned sufficiently
before hand. and consequently there
was little friction in enforcing the
new tariffs.
One Of them remarked that coal con-
sumers probably need to be reminded
or warned that this increase means
something like % to 35 cents a ton on
coal TO this city. Dealers are, OF
course. allowed by the Federal au-
thorities to add this increased coal "a te
to the Bills of the consumers after
they have paid it to the railroads, but
they are barred from adding 1t to coal
they received before the new rates
went into effect--that is to say, they
cannot assess II on the consumer until
the dealers themselves have paid it.

THERE IS GREAT WASTE
Of TELEPHONE SERVICE
The Kind Of Talk That Should Be
Dispensed With During Busy
Hours and Always.
TALK WITH WIRE OFFICIAL
Conversations That Consume Time
ana Electricity and Do No Good.
Not Peculiar to Richmond, but
Many of Them Heard Here.

There are some people who never
waste naything. They never let the
water run longer than necessary, they
don't let the light burn when it isn't
needed and they never throw away
food that can be used. On the other
hand. there are people who seldom
think Of saving anything. Faucets are
turned on and left running. lights burn
all over the house, and waste stalks
about in devious other forms
1t may seem strange TO think that
people waste telephone service but
they can-and do. Furthermore. they
do it right here in this fair city of Rich
mond. according TO one of the tele-
phone officials. In short talk with
said official some queer facts were
learned.
The offenders fall in several classes.
There's Mrs. Ncwlywed. for instance,
who just naturally must call up John
at the office several times a day 10 ask
IL he still loves her and to tell him
not To work too hard Not only are
most calls of this kind waste of wire
time, hut they are a waste of Johns
time, and frequently they cause Johns
line to be busy when he is being called
by somebody who really has something
important to say.
Then there's Miss Tessie Sweet
foung-Thing and Mr.. Archie Nothing
To-Do. They have many conversations
a day between themselves and others
that are more or less waste
But you must not get the idea that
all the MASTERS are women or he-dolls.
Far be II! There's many a business man
who wastes time over the telephone
because he doesn't know how to say
good-by. He hangs on and on, and
meanwhile the man at the other end
Is paving the air and praying for relief
Nor must we forget the woman who
calls UP her friends every day to ask
how is everything. and who can no
to call some body than dog can pass
cat without wishing to chase it,
Then there's the woman who calls UP
the stores. During the recent sugar
shortage a woman called up about sew
entecn stores to ask if they had sugar.
She might have known that II they had
sugar they would reserve it for their
regular customers. Still she called.
Another woman called up several groc-
crs one afternoon and SAID She was
tired Of eating regular vegetables-and
did they have something different.
n ordinary times, telephone MASTERS
are not taken very seriously, as, in
deed. IS the case with MASTERS OF all
kinds. But when telephone wires are
loaded with important messages, it
does seem that they should take
thought of themselves. and. in the
words of the office boy. have heart"

Iron and Steel Prices neanirmed.

some of the smaller manufacturers have
expressed disappointment because ad-

Weather very much interfered with
retail trade Iii Richmond during the
first half OF last week. but nobody
complained, for the soaking rains that
came and kept the shoppers at home
were worth many thousands of dollars
to Ell Of the country surrounding Rich

rains badly, and they came just in the

II. g. Dun Co.'S report OF Richmond

Times dispatch. tells the whole story
OF last week. It says:
Both the jobbins and the manufac-
trunS trades report business good: u
large number of orders are In hand,
while orders are coming in freely both
by mail and from statesmen. Most
houses say collections axe good, some
few report remittances only fair. The
trade generally is cheerful
Harness manufacturers and dealers
in automobile accessories claim they
are receiving about all the orders they
are able TO NIL; conditions with dry
goods dealers are healthy, and while
buying is sprainS, sales are larger on
account Of the advance in prices. Shoe
houses have done a large business. and
have plenty OF untitled orders; clothing
