PETROLEUM OUTPUT REACHES
HIGHEST MARX In OCTOBER

According to the data supplied by
the United States Geological Survey
the production of petroleum in
the United States during October
reached the highest mark ever OBJ
tanned. The total production for
the month was 3s,s3s,o00 barrels,
or 6,5oo,ooo barrels more than in
October, 1919. The daily average
production exceeded that of the pre-
ceding month by more than $4,000
barrels. This increase in domestic
production, however, was nearly off,
set by the decrease in net imports
from Mexico. Mexican imports for
October wefe 11,361.oo0 barrels. or
nearly 100000 barrels less than in
the preceding month. During Oc-
tober the daily average rate OF con-
sumption was appreciably less than
for September. although higher than
for preceding months. The average
consumption amounted to 1,60s,7lo
barrels for October, compared with
1.627,167 barrels in September. This
decrease in consumption resulted in
the addition to stocks of more than
5000 barrels at the end of October
compared with the end of Septem-
Der.

FARMERS BEAT LOW MARKET;
MAKE WOOL INTO BLANKETS

Farmers Of North Carolina, as
sisted by a representative of the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture and the State College of
Agriculture, have found that there
are more ways than one to dispose
of wool. They are having their
wool manufactured into blankets
and expect to sell the blankets.
About $4,000 pounds of wool pro-
duced in North Carolina has been
handled in this manner.
The bottom dropped out of the
wool market for North Carolina.
Three wool sales which were to be
held at Washington. Greensboro.
and Asheville were abandoned. due
to the fact that there was no market
for the wool at prices acceptable to
the farmers. After the sales were
Cancelled large manufacturing
company. with establishments at
Winston-Salem and Elkin, was in
terested in the proposition to make
up the wool of individual farmers
into blankets. A representative was
stationed at Elkin to receive the
wool. Each consignment was
weighed, graded, and a report made
up showing just how many blankets
of certain grade and quality could
be made from the lot. This saved
the manufacturing establishment
the necessity of advancing cash for
wool on an uncertain market. Many
of the farmers are now arranging
to place their blankets on the mar
kets. and 1t is estimated that their
wool will average them something
like SO to 30 cents pound and in
some cases more. Wool from the
State experiment station netted' ap-
proximately 73 cents a pound and
that from a State test farm approx
imately 81 cents a pound.

NEW CLEARING HOUSE
FORMED AT ANTWERP

A report from the United States
Trade Commissioner at Brussels
states that there has recently been
formed at Antwerp a clearing house
for dealing in foreign exchange fu-
lures. The need for some such open
market for foreign exchange has
been very great under the present
huctuating values. For the present
the exchange deals only in pounds
sterling. French francs, Dutch
forins. German marks and American
dollars. The exchange is operated
In practically the same method as
commodity exchanges. BN means of
this arrangement a Belgian pur-
chaser of foreign goods is able to
hedge" against the fiuctuation in
exchange value between the time
when he places his order for the
goods and the time when IL is de-
livered. In this way he avoids the
element Of risk and speculation in
volved in exchange fluctuations.

ASPEN BORER HELPS TO
INCREASE PAPER SHORTAGE

A gray-green beetle has much to
do with the present paper shortage.
according to a statement issued by
the United States Department of
Agriculture The beetle is the adult
form of the aspen borer and it usu-
ally attacks poplar and aspen, both
fast growing trees and for this rea-
son being valuable to manufac-
turers- The beetle gnaws a slot in
the bark. then deposits one or two
eggs, and from these eggs develop
the grubs that gnaw into the heart
and sapwood, so that a strong wind
will snap the weakened timber. The
borer is not found above 5000 feet,
but Is prevalent between attitudes
$500 feet and 5000 feet. The de-
partment has carried out control ex-
periments and finds that the insect
can be controlled IL not entirely
eliminated by either cutting the
brood trees or by application of
creosote or carbolinium to the egg
scars.

UP-TO-DATE MACHINERY USE
DEVELOPS In GREAT BRITAIN

According to a statement issued
by the Guaranty Trust Company, of
New York, there has been a strik-
ing development in the use Of up
to-date machinery and mechanical
power in England since 1914. The
general tendency has been to close
down country workshop industries
and convert town workshops into
factories. usually run by electric
power. The number Of workshops
has decreased by $3.50. while facro-
ries have increased by 1886. AT
present there are a number of ex-
tensive hydro electric schemes un-
der consideration.

UNITED STATES LEADS In
COAL EXPORTS TO FRANCE

Yves lie Trocquer. minister of
public works, said that the United
States now is the leading coal ex-
porting country to France. accord
ing to a statement in the New York
Journal of Commerce. He declared
that during November, coal reach
ing France exceeded 100000 tons
and that 100000 tons are available
from America monthly IL necessary.
England comes next and Germany
third. More than 100000 tons of
coal were delivered to France dur
ing November from all sources, in
cluding that provided for under the
Spa agreement. II the British gov
ernment> does not grant a liberal
decrease in price, France will have
to accept in larger amounts inter-
esting coal offers made by America.

TRACTOR PRODUCTION
In THE UNITED STATES

According to a statement by the
Bureau of Public Roads, United
States Department of Agriculture,
eighty firms report that they manu-
factured 164,5s0 tractors during the
year. 1t is believed that the total
number Manufactured by these
eighty firms represents at least IS
per cent of the Nproduction in the
United States duripg the year. The
estimated production in January
and February 1919, was nearly
twice this number. but labor trou-
bles. shortage of material and the
fact that some of the companies
discontinued building tractors, ac-
counts in part at least for the de-
crease in production below the es-
timated output. During the year
there were sold in the United States
136.162 tractors; 1888 were sold for
export and the number on hand De-
cember 81 was 27,74o.

ENGLISH HOP PRODUCTION.

The total production Of hops IN
England this year is estimated at
31,24s,0oo pounds. according to the
American Agricultural Trade Com
missioner at London. This figure
represents yield Of about 10.oso.-
900 pounds above the total returns
realized from the crop last year.
and is only about $4,000 pounds
below the average production of
the years 1s10-1s1s. Hops may not
be imported into the United King
dom at present except by special
permit issued by or under the au-
thority of the English food control

Forced to Move to Mere Spacious
Quarters, l2ls l3th St.

Real estate dealers and all owners
and managers of property in WASH
ington will doubtless be much inter-
ested to learn that the Northern
Asbestos Company, of New York.
has perfected and placed upon the
market a liquid asbestos coating
which Is designed to renew and re-
claim old, worn and leaky roofs of
every description.
/ 1t appears that this protective
coating is made by combining as
bestos, natural asphalt and certain
non-evaporatiye oils. The blending
OF asbestos and natural asphaltum.
the two known materials most i'm
pervious to atmospheric conditions,
produces a heavy bodied elastic acid
and alkali resisting compound re-
sembling paint, which forms q
tough, durable weather-resisting
veneer over any surface to which IL
may be applied. Practical tests
have demonstrated that this coat
ing will successfully Withstand the
action of the elements for a period
Of at least ten years.
One Of the most Interesting char
acteristics of this liquid is the uni
versal uses 1t may be put to-it will
protect paper and felt against dis
Indignation; will protect and pre-
serve corrugated iron surfaces;
prevent corrosion and rust and seal
all small holes in any kind of metal I;
will completely seal the pores or
concrete and penetrate and preserve
shingles by filling the pores and
cracks of the wood.
The local paint firm Of Watkins
and Whitney, 1406 Fourteenth street
northwest, has just been appointed
sole distributor of this product for
Washington and full information
concerning Liquid Asbestos Coating
