Rainbow Division
Has 80 Per Cent of
Its Loan Quota
10 Date Only Five Commit
tees Are Up to the Mark
Set at Beginning of Drive

IN the total subscribed and in the
number of participants in the loan the
Rainbow Division did only half as we'll
IN the first two weeks of the Victory
Liberty Loan as in the corresponding
period of the fourth Liberty Loan. 1t
has thus far filled 80 per cent of its
quota of $500, 5000.
Craig Colgate, chairman of tho ad-
vlsory trades committee of the Rainbow
Dlvlslon, in commenting on the situa-
Jlon last night, said: "The amount the
Ralnbow Division has raised to date is
less than half of what was raised in
tne corresponding period of the fourth
Liberty Loan campaign. Both in num-
Der OF subscriptions and in volume Of
SUBSCRIPTIONS we have raised only half
OF what was raised in the first two
weeks OF the fourth loan drive.
up to date only five committees
nave reached their quotas. In the
fourth Liberty Loan campaign seventy
seven of ninety comittees reached their
quotas before the end of the campaign.
We hope that the desire to see their
trade come through with a perfect per-
centage IN aiding the government to
finish its war job and the added de-
sire of doing what was asked of them
by the Secretary of the Treasury will
spur the army of committeeman and
workers during the last week of the
drive to redouble their efforts and up-
hold the standard that the Rainbow
Division has set for itself by its work
in previous campaigns.
The industries of greater New
York lent their whole hearted support
to the government in the Liberty Loan
campaigns while the nation was at war.
The record of the Rainbow Division
has no equal in the financial history of
the nation. 1t has contributed approx
mately one-seventh of what the entire
country loaned the government to
prosecute vigorous military campaign.
The victory it helped so much to win
must he secured. 1t cannot fall down
on the last call Our record of service
cannot be marred. We are in the Ar
gonne of our great and noble task. In
the final six days allotted us let rs
smash our way over the goal"

Lumber Market Strong

ST. LOUIS, May 4.-"Lumber," a
trade authority, says:
"The lumber market is stronger to-
day than it has been at any time since
the close of the war; in fact, for some
time previous to and during the war.
This applies to all sections of the
country and to all classes of woods.
Especially is it true of shingles, the
last week witnessing another advance
OF about cents in prices over those
OF the previous week, and the end of
such advances is not yet in sight.
Southern yellow pine is leading in de-
mand for soft woods in the Central and
Eastern markets. Advances of from so
cents to, in some cases, So and 81 per
thousand feet have been marked up
IN the principal distributing centres.
AN advance of virtually the same
proportions is noted in some of the
manufacturing centres. Cypress, too
mas made an advance in some of the
distributing markets, due undoubtedly
to shortage Of stocks at the mills
and tendency upon the part of man
ufacturers to hold what little stocks
they have for better prices.
=, estern mills are holding firm to
their new advanced list, and are even
talking of making another general ad
vance in prices within the next few
weeks Demand on the coast, and for
all classes of lumber, is particularly
strong, and Western woods are grow
ing in favor in most all sections of
the country Hardwoods are growing
stronger in price and demand everv
day, Stocks are exceedingly scarce and
hard to obtain in the principal items.
The lumber market, as a whole. owes
Its present strength to general re-
sumption of building activity"

Profit From Shortage
Small Mills Reap Benefit From
Scarcity of Fabrics

Smaller woollen and worsted mil1s
making women's dress goods have nrof
tied this year by the general shortape
Of fabrics for fall wear. Manufac-
turers of dresses and suits. who we're
in the habit of placing the bulk of their
orders with two or three Of the leading
mills, have been forced this wear to
order their fall merchandise from 81
numbers of mills in order to get a suf
ticient quantity to fill their needs. One
dress manufacturer who never before
bought goods from more than three
mills, has placed tis fall orders with
ten different concerns. In this man
ner the smaller mills have obtained
business that formerly went to their
larger competitors.
Another feature which has served to
spread business over greater area
IN the market is the policy of some
of the leading dress goods mills to
restrict their lines this year. In past
seasons the leading mills showed a
great variety of fabrics. This wear
because of labor troubles and other de-
terrlng influences on production, thew
have scaled down their lines and are
offering only few varieties. The gar
ment manufacturer who cannot confina
himself to few fabrics is thus forced
to search through the market and
place his orders with several different
mills. if he wants to obtain a variety
of fabrics
Some of the dress goods mills are

mills long noted for its novelty fabrics
brought out a much restricted line

IN a few weeks to keep the mills run
