GETTING READY FOR
DECENlIIAL CENSUS
In UNITED STATES

Washington. q. G., June 19-Uncle
Sam is rapidly getting ready to take
stock" To put it more clearly, prep
arations are well along for the four
teenth decennial census, to be taken
in 1920
The last congress granted an ap-
preparation for the work, and a force
of several hundred clerks is busy in
the census bureau making the neces.
sary preparations for the huge task,
which must be accomplished in few
weeks.
For this immense job, the bureaus
regular force OF about four hundred
employees will be expanded to $4,000
or more. The appropriation which
congress has made for the work is
$20,500,0OO This amount covers also
the ordinary expenses of the bureau
during 1919.
The census will include not only
enumeration of the population of the
United States, continental and insu-
lar, but also a canvass of the agri-
cultural, manufacturing, mining and
quarry, oil and gas and other inter
ests for all the states as well, as for
the District of Columbia, Alaska, Ha-
waii, Porto Rico, Guam, Samoa and
tn Canal Zone.
For the purposes of the enumera-
tion, the country has been divided
into 978 supervisory districts, with
supervisor for each, to whom about !
$4,000 enumerators will report.
Date is Advanced.
The actual enumeration will be
completed in a few weeks, although |
it will be several months before re-
suits will begin to be known New
ertheless, the figures will be availa-
BILE much earlier for the 1920 census
than was the case in 1910, because
this time the census will be as of Jan
uary /, instead of April 10, as in
1910. The change was made because
it is believed the agricultural cen
sus will be more reliable on the ear
lier date.
Chief interest in the census, of
course, will be in the population, but
great many interests require much
more detailed information, such as
the ratio of males and females, dis.
tribution, degree of illiteracy, proper
tion of whites and blacks, proportion
of foreign born to native population
and many other facts that can be
elarned only through Uncle Sans de-
cennial stock taking" The 1920
census is certain to bring out many
changes, for the past decade has been
one of wonderful growth and devel-
opment
Next to population, the greatest in
terest will be in the census of agri.
culture. This will show the number
and acreage of farms in the country
and in each state and county; the
Of acres of improved land;
value of farms and the stocks of ma
chinery; number and kind OF live
stock, and practically every detail of
information relating to agriculture
The census of manufacturers is
taken every five years, unlike the
other inquiries. This will be of un
Usual interest this time because the
last census was taken in 1914, when
he world was at peace. Since then
he greatest war in history has been
ought and America has accomplished
IN industrial expansion that is un.
Daralleled, This census, therefore,
covering the calendar year 1919 will
present a statistical portrayal OF the
Of American industries.

Metals
Larger Sales of Copper
Establish Price Firmly
on I6-Cent Basis

Sales Of copper in this market ves-
terday were the largest in weeks. The
spot quotation was 16c, but interests
associated with the Anaconda Conner
Company, one of the biggest of tho
producers, advanced the price Of July
copper to 1910. The rest of the sell-
iag agencies did not follow suit. bat
II was predicted that the higher quota
tion would be generally adopted with
in a day or two in view OF the broaden-
ing inquiry for metal
Despite the better demand a leading
interest in the trade said that no move
would be made toward increasing OPP
erations at the copper mines and smels~
ers until big cut has been made into
surplus stocks of the metal. So far
these have not been touched
April production statistics now avail
able show that during that month
seventeen of the largest copper mines
of the country turned out S7.027.TSs
pounds OF copper. a decrease of S.Ooo-
600 pounds from the March total. Pro-
ducuon OF these companies in the
month of November, 1918, before the
curtailment policy was inaugurated al
the mines, amounted to 1S5, ,40a, ,l.9
pounds.

" h0Les0Le Fur Merchants
AdUised Not TO Compete
With OlUn Customers

Wholesale fur merchants who are
members Of the Fur Merchants Asso-
citation of New York are asked to di1
continue the practice of selling ray
dressed or dyed skins directly to the
individual consumer, in a letter sent
out bv J. H. Bleistein, president of the
organization This practice has in
creased of late, it is said, because of g
mistaken belief that the public could
avoid the payment of the 10 per cent
tax on manufactured furs by purchas-
ing the raw, dressed or dyed skin
from fur merchant and then taking it
to q furrier to be made up into gar
ment. In his letter Mr.. Bleistein calls
attention to special ruling issued by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue on
May l, which states that raw, dressed
and dyed skins are not subject to the
use in the manufacture of fur articles.
Such skins, however, are subject to a
tax when sold to consumer"
He adds that fur merchants will be
compelled to pay tax of 10 per cent
of the total of all such sales made
since February %, 1919, and must file
return in duplicate showing the
total of sales up to April 80 and the
amount of the tax with the Bureau of
Internal Revenue by May 81
THE practice of Wholesale mer-
chants selling skins directly to private
parties" says the letter, "is a serious
detrment to the manufacturer and
the retailer and there is no need of our
members competing with their own
customers"

Textiles
Trading in Cotton Goods
Heavy at More Profit
able Prices

Activity in cotton goods yesterday
extended to every branch of the trade.
Buyers from widely separated sections
of the United States were present in
large numbers, exporters evlnced a
keen interest in colored goods, and
prices for number Of fabrics we're
advanced. Most of the expert orders
for colored goods were reported TO
come from Salvador, Colombia and
Greece.
Jobbers were liberal purchasers OF
bleached goods at higher prices and
some of the mill agents asserted that
the buying movement was destined to
show further expansion. Bleachers,
converters and printers we're active
bidders for unbleached fabrics of every
description, but the mill agents seemed
reluctant to accept all of the orders
that were offered, because they expect
to see more profitable price levels than
those now prevailing. Jobbers, particu-
larly those from the West and South,
were also reported to be heavy buyers
of Southern unbleached branded sheet
inps. the price of which advanced one
half cent yard Up to few weeks
ago the iobhers were content to buy
sheetings in limited quantities, whereas
within the past several days some OF
these merchants have placed orders for
100 bale lots. The report that the gov
ernment would soon offer for sale
about 100000 yards of surplus cot
ton goods was received by mill agents
with equanimity, the inference being
that offerings of any one fabric would

Orders for Woollens
Not To Be Cancelled
Garment Producers Say Cloth
viii All Be Needed When
Strike Ends

In ordinary times strike in the
cloak and suit industry would lead to
the wholesale cancellation of orders
placed by the manufacturers Of gar
ments with the woollen mills. The
present strike, however, has had no
such effect, according to the selling
agents for the mills, largely because Of
the scarcity of cloth for the fall sea-
son, which the manufacturers were
preparing to enter wnen the strike
came.
The apparel manufacturers say they
viii not cancel their cloth contracts
even II the strike is prolonged, as the
present stocks on hand are insufficient

manifest itself as soon as the labor
troubles are settled. Deliveries of
cloth are late, and many Of the manu-
'sc'urers had not even received the
sample cuts Of their orders from

In Salt Lake City
Business Conditions i'm q Rocky
Mountain District

The following is extracted from a let
ter written by j. David Larson, general
secretary of the Salt Lake Commercial
Club and Chamber of Commerce, to D.
5. Spencer, general passenger agent OF
the Oregon Short Line:
Deposits in Salt Lake City banks are
greater than ever before. There is a
reasonable commercial and investment
demand for money.
Mercantile business shows an increase
over any previous year for January.
February and the first part of Aplal,
there having been a little decrease in
March, due largely to weather condi-
tions.
improvements by city and county, TO
cost about $6,000,000 are providing en-
ployment for labor and there are few
men out of work at this time, despite
curtailment of mining operations.
Building plans contemplate the erec-
tion of several large buildings, besides
the construction of hundreds of cottages,
along with number of more preten-
tious homes. Few new houses are on
the market for sale and it is almost
as Difficult. to rent modern home as
to buy one. Office buildings are filled.

silks
Many Silk Mills Refuse to
Place Further Orders
on Books

Silk mill agents who still have goods
to sell did splendid volume of busi
ness yesterday, but as many of the
manufacturers have sold their entire
prospective outputs Of fall fabrics
they were compelled to refuse further
orders. Some export orders also were
turned down because OF inability to
promise deliveries. 1t was stated that
retailers who have failed to cover their
fall needs will either have to go with
out goods or trade with jobbers at
higher prices than those quoted by the
mill agents. A number of manufacture
ers Of high priced specialties have been
forced to tell their customers that
only small part OF their wants can
be supplied. Travelling men from now
until the first Of September will be
engaged chiefly in keeping in touch
with their customers for the purpose of
maintaining good will rather than to
sell goods. Manufacturers at the lend
ing mill centres are making strong cf-
forts to increase their working forces,
but the apparent lack Of skilled weav-
ers IL an obstacle that seems hard to
overcome.
