A New Era

The men who are making money in
this market are those who are casting
precedents to the four winds. About
the only bear one meets these days is
the individual who looks back upon
great periods of activity previous to
the European war. Wall Street and
the country have changed radically
since 1914. One might just as we'll 90
back to the time of Christopher Colum-
bus for all the good comparisons with
pre-war years will do in the present
situation.-E. N. Wagner & Co.

Steel Prices

A leading steel producer yesterday
announced an advance Of 50 ton in
the price of steel plates, making the
new price S2.75 a hundred pounds,
Pittsburgh base. This led to some
comment predicting a general rise In
steel prices. That present material
prices have ceased to hold back build
ing ia illustrated by the fact that
building permits for April were larger
than for any month since April, 1917.

1t is to be remarked that American
Smelling figures represent largely
"custom" silver, refined for others, and
not $heir own. 1t can be seen that
Anaconda benefits very little in any
case. But Anaconda and all the other
coppers have an additional disad-
vantage. Silver is byproduct of cop
per; the copper companies are now
working at SO per cent capacity; there
fore. silver production should be not
much more than half that of last year.

was affected somewhat by the call of

was the report that the government

cans OF meats not now needed by the

ONE GOOD THING FROM WAR
cocone Nut, Hitherto Considered Only
as Nuisance, Has Been Made Arti-
Gle Of Commerce.

Before the war the cocone, which
grows freely in the Southern Ameri-
cas-, on large trees Of the palm FAM
lily, was literally such a hard nut to
crack that It's vegetable oil had no
place In commerce, and the tree was
known chiefly as q botheration to
banana planters when they wished to
enlarge their plantations. Eighteen
hundred pounds pressure is required
to crack the cocone nut, and there was
no machinery for doing it. Then gov
ernment experts said that nothing else
In the world would provide such good
carbon for gas masks as the cocone
nut, and the United States financed
the creation of machinery for crack
ing It. thus starting a new and i'm
portant industry. Hereafter it viii

liable for cooking. lighting, and the
making of nut butter: and the shells,
happily no longer needed for masks,
can be used as fuel or in the manufac'
ture of gas. And so. out of an effort
to prevent the expansion of autocracy
by conquest, the Southern Americas
find opportunity to expand by COM
