Cottonseed OiL Interests
 and Federal Regulations to
 Be Taken Up in Conferences

Every phase of the cottonseed indus try is to be taken up at a series of meet ings to be held in the principal southern cities under the auspices of the United States food administration, according to a Washington special to the Baltimore Manufacturers Record. .,.-, -t-.,+
 The present time is believed to tbe ex- ceptionally desirable for such meetings, as it comes between the two cotton sea- sons, and the men with whom it is de- sired to get in touch, including commis- sioners of agriculture and markets farmers. buyers, ginners crushers and representatives of farmers organiza- tions, will be able to attend the confer ences. It is expected that a closer CO., operation in conservation and a better understanding in general as to the needs of the cottonseed industry will follow.
 Plans for the coming year will be taken up. and it is said that the food administration officials will welcome sug- gestions whereby their work may be made more satisfactory to the industry at large
 War conditions have resulted in the communicating of the linters in the cot tonseed industry, the entire supply, to- gether with a considerable part of the hull fiber, having been taken by the gov ernment for use in the munition plants.
 The regulation of profits which was made by the food administration dur ing the last part of 1917 in regard to cot tonseed and it's products has greatly sta

 An oil refinery will be built by the Chickasha Refining company, Chickasha, Okla, incorporated with s300,000 capital.
 An oil refinery will be built by the Christian Oil Refining company, Hopkins vile, Ky, incorporated with $3OO,000 cap ital
 Cotton duck will be the product of the Adams Cotton mills, Macon. Ga, organ ized with s200,o00 capital to build a plant of 5000 spindes and 160 looms. This conn pany's mill building will be of brick con struction, 4S3x106 feet, costing $75, eco, while it's machinery (for which contract has been awarded) will cost from $125,0U to s15o, ,O0o A 500-horse power steam plant will furnish power, and the mill output cloth.
 An expenditure of s150oO0 is announced by the Bon Air Coal and Iron corpora tion, Nashville, for it's charcoal-iron fur mace at Lyle. Tenn. This furnace will be rehablitated, washer will be added, and the furnace will blow in with a daily capacity of from 75 to 100 tons of char coal iron. It will consume as fuel the charcoal by-product of the s1 ,3000, ,000 wood chemicals plant which this com pany will build to supply the govern ment

Forecast of Purchases
 for the Government

New Orleans, May 5.-(Special.) )-Pur- chase for the government at an early date of between sO0,OOo,ooO and 400. ,oot feet of lumber for the construction of approximately 100000 freight cars is fore cast by Thornton A. Green, representing the Southern Pine association. Because of the close proximity of the southern pine mills to the larger number of car plants, 1t is believed the order will in vo!ve large proportion of southern pine. Mir. Green has just returned after two months spent in Washington consulting with various government committee which have charge of the purchase of these cars.
 The first government order of cars was for 3o.OO0, placed with the American Car and Foundry company, divided as follows: 10000 double sheated box. sOU single sheated box, 5000 composite gon- dolas and 5000 all-steel hopper gondolas.
 Another order for 10000 cars will prob- ably be placed next week.

Mobile Strongly Urges

and also to hold itself in readiness to send delegation to Washington to
 render assistance.
 Horace Turner, following adoption of the resolution, suggested that the
 committee should be selected with a
 view to being made continuous until success was assured for the project
 and with the further view that the
 active work either in Mobile or at Washington might be done in assist ing in formulating the plans to make the river improvements more effective in increasing the use of the river He also suggested that the coal in terests should be represented in the committee. President Bellingrath, re plying to the suggestion said he would take sometime to select the committed
 Attention of the meeting was called to MT. Henry A. Fochheimer, president of the Alabama Navigation association he told of the status of the movement at Washington and of Senator Bank heads efforts in the matter Messrs F. B. Dubois, Theo K. Jackson and H. G. Barclay took part in the discus sion The meeting adjourned sub- feet to call of the chairman.

HEALTHY INCREASE
 IN BUILDING WORK
Curtailed Production Noted at Shreveport = Normal
 Runs Would Help

Additional advance in prices at Shreve- port, with yard stock especially strong, featured the yellow pine market in this territory during the last week, says d special to the American Lumberman. On practically items prices gained new strength during the week, increa sing very conspicuously on yard stock, and, judging by the orders and inquiries l reaching sales offices, there is much more improvement in prospect. Due to the continuous upward trend, the manufac- turers hardly know how to treat many orders, and are proceeding with much precauticn.
 Undoubtedly the demand has improved lately, but this is not the most significant phase of the market situation The cur tailed production is having a particularly important part to play. This curtail- ment, causing the output to be consider ably less than normal, is due especially to the shortage of labor. It is like the proverbial pulling of eye teeth to induce
 many able-bodied idlers to go to work.
 and many mill men are more or less dis outraged over the prospect If they could
 have normal runs at their plants, they could take care of a great deal more trade. They have a ray of hope in the announcement that the crusade against NagrantS IS becoming a popular cam paign. In a number of communities all able-bodied men are being listed by an
 index card system, for reference by the authorities and citizens committee in
 forcing them to go to work, go to war or
 go to jail. At a recent meeting of the
 Southwestern Hardwood Manufacturers
 club held here, Frank R. Gadd of Gin
 cinnati. assistant to the president of the
 Hardwood Manufacturers Association of
 the United States, reported that this
 movement is proving popular in the east
 and is having good effect on the mill sit
 uation, and encouragement of the move
 ment was urged by the lumbermen. It is
 expected that this crusade is going to
 give some labor relief to the mills, but
 still there promises to be a big shortage
 for long time, and doubtless many or
 ders are necessarily going to suffer much
 delay because of the hindrance to pro- duction, which is the chief annoyance to
 lumbermen nowadays. The demand is
 quite satisfactory and prices were sell
 dom, if ever, generally more favorable.
 considering all circumstances.
 There has been very healthy increase
 in building activities lately, and pros-
 poets point to much more improvement
 in this line The of r.eld operations are
 requiring lots of lumber; crates, boxes
 and other construction incident to the
 seasons crops are also requiring a large amount of building material The gov
 ernment continues to call for lumber,
 and the situation generally as regards
 demand is very good. It looks like big summer trade.

Coal Situation and
 The Storage Demand

The Black Diamond of last Saturday says in part:
 The solution of the coal situation was put up to the railroads again by the de- velopment of more than enough demand to take care of all ouput in all markets. Indeed the storage demand has become so strong that it is doubtful if the coal mines could supply it even with full car supply. The people finally nave taken hold of the situation and are try ing to prevent a recurrence of a famine again next winter.
 In the west the demand is not so keen as it is in the east, but it is sufficient to take care of all the output at least of the mines east ot the Mississippi river. In the Ohio-M Mississippi valley some mines recently were closed down for
 lack of oiders. The point is rapidly ap preaching when that can no longer be said to be true There is still livelier movement of coal west of the Mississippi and south of the Missouri, but reports from that district show a very decided improvement. In fact the programme to buy your coal early and to store coal which is advocated by all branches of the government has taken firm hold upon the people and if the transportation can be supplied the storage movement for this year will be most satisfactory The most gratifying part of it from the standpoint of the retailer is that he IS not permitted to. accumulate any stocks on his yards. In fact coal is going out as fast as it is coming in. The demand. therefore. is from the ultimate consumer and not from the distributors.
 The one backward section of the mar ket is the storage movement of railroad coal This is held in abeyance by the railroad controversy over fuel prices, which has not yet been settled. It seems possible, however, that this difficulty will be ort of, the way in short whi.e.

, bif1zed prices and insures adequate re- turns to the producers, according to a statement recently made by pr. George H. Denny, director of the cottonseed in dustry section of the food administra- tion. The measures of control then adopted, he states have met with but little dissatisfaction. Through the regu- lations seed dealers buying from farm CTS are limited to a profit of $2 ton on their purchases. Manufacturers are per- mitted to sell at an advance of not more than S13 on the cost of the raw material, and as the cost of converting the raw material into finished products averages about $11, the same profit tis derived by the manufacturers as by the seed dealer.
 This does not actually regulate prices to the producer, Dr. Denny states ln- stead, he receives an indirect benefit through the elimination of speculation. and the same is true of the consumer, The food administration hopes to event. ually reverse this process so that the sliding scale may begin with the farmer.
 The first tour into the south for the cottonseed industry meetings began at New Orleans on May l. The sched ule includes meetings at Dallas on May g. Oklahoma City. May s; Memphis, May s. The latter conference is expected to cover the states of Arkansas, Missouri, Mississippi and Tennessee, while the other conferences will cover only thu states in which they are held. pr. Denny and MT. Hugh Humphreys will represent the food administration on this trip.
 The second tour. beginning May 20 will cover North Carolina, South Carolina Georgia, Alabama, Florida and Virginia. The exact Itinerary will be announced later.

Southern Pine Market
 Strong at Advances

The principal current topic at Laurel Miss, is the new order placing an embargo on commercial shipments of lumber, says the American Lumber man. Some of the mills that are well stocked with government orders do not appear to be much concerned as to the outcome, but others feel that though they have a good file of gov ernment orders the move is too drastic and equal results might have been ob- tained by other methods. As a rule the government does not require the upper grades of lumber in it's con struction, therefore it is probIematic what disposition can be made of se- lect grades that develop in manufac- turing. Should the embargo be con tinued indefinitely, it will undoubted ly work hardship on retail and wholesale dealers.
 Generally speaking, the lumber man ufacturers of the south have been pat riotic to the extent of accepting gov ernment orders at much lower prices than were obtainable from the commer- cial trade, and shipping them in pref erence, but it seems the above action was deemed necessary by government officials to force slackers to fall in line.
 The southern pine marke; continues strong, with sectional advances of 50 cents to $2 thousand and excellent demand. The production of hardwood lumber has been greatly curtailed dur ing the last fortnight on account of excessive wet weather. which makes it practically impossibl2 to log the lowlands by teams.
 The labor situation is acute but it has not as yet been found necessary to employ women in the mills in this immediate vicinity. Nearly all mills have employment agents out endeav- bring to round up the idle labor Men hired in this manner average about two and half days each; some never go to work, while others who are especially good. work week It has been found that good wages is a det- riment to colored workmen, as they expect to put in only enough time to earn their necessary living ex- penses. regardless of the liability of closing down a plant for the want of help,
 Although there are frequent fur ries of cars. allowing one to load to capacity for almost a whole day at times. the general cry is for "more cars" With the new embargo order a new problem of distribution of equipment presents itself which will tend to increase or diminish plants allotment according to the govern ment orders on file.
