COUNTRY IS NOW
EXPERIENCING
BUSINESS BOOM
This is the Word Brought
to Fairmont By Col.
Watson.
FOREIGNERS PAY CASH
Big Industries Resuming
and Prices Are Again
Rising.
FOREIGNERS PAY CASH

q col G. W. Watson, who arrived in
the city today to spend the Fourth,
told usiness associates and friends
that the DOM which close oservers Of
conditions some months ago predict
ed would arrive In due time Is now
here and promises to be bigger than
was anticipated by the most optimis-
tic observers.
During the after.the-war let down in
this country stocks became depleted
to such an extent that although the
ills and factories are swinging back
Into operation as fast as possible
prices have already begun to ascend.
The price question, in the opinion o.
@Colonel Watson, is most pressing right
now in the matter of building mate
rial and building costs, both of which
already have begun to jump. The
present indication is that they will go
much farther before they stop. 1.-THE
man who ninety or even sixty days
ago said Col. Watson, made up his
mind to. go ahead with the building
that he needed was very wise and for
tunate. Moreover men who have not
yet SiSde contracts for construction
should do SO at once. They will be
able to build cheaper this month thar
at a later period"
The reaction Of the revival of in
dustry upo the coal trade has, accord
ing TO Colonel Watson, been most for
tunate. The export trade is growing
as fast as bottoms can be found to
carry the cargoes. The Consolidation
company itself is exporting 10000 ton
, of coal a month. For this coal and for
every other kind of material that is
going TO Europe from this country the
purchasers are paying cash.
This, in the opinion of Col. Watson
s. one%of the most significant signs
OF the times. During the period just
following the signing of the armistice
the men of the big business on the
Sothed
other side admitted that they would
have to have much from this country
but they could not seeh ow they were
going TO arrange to pay for 1t. This
view was shared to large extent by
the financiers of the United States.
But now that the business actually is
being carried on the people of Europe
are managing somehow to pay as they
go In cash
The slack ksituation which for
time was troublesome in this coal re-
gion is. according to Col. Watson work
sng out in very satisfactory manner.
The cement mills in the east are get
ting back upon large capacity and
they are taking the slack as fast as
II IS turned out and clamoring for
more.

This is five more cars than were

High grade or low sulphur content

purchaser, the amount to be paid for
the equities in the assets and what has
already been received by the trustees
