DR.. Steinmetz calculates that If
every stream could be fully utilized
throughout its length at all seasons,
S20.o00.00O horsepower could be
developed. The last census placed the
country's developed water power at
4,S70,000 horsepower.
Industrial and other plants, accord
Ing to census figures. have a capacity
Of 100000 horsepower, and Secre-
tary Lane estimated that only about
100000 horsepower was utilized
continuously. indicating that avail
able water power is far in excess of
the aggregate horsepower American
industry could employ for many
years.
Over 70 per cent Of the available
water power is west Of the Mississip-

Marketing Of Vast Stocks Held.

Chicago. May 2s.-The tremendous
speculation in silk in the United
States and Japan. which in the lat
ter country precipitated a panic and
consequent closing Of the Toxic stock
and silk exchanges. and In this coun-
try has resulted In the price Of raw
silk tumbling from above $50 pound
to about half as much, is explained
in a current compilation on the sub
ject.
"Since the end of the war, silk has
been in tremendous demand, and on
account of the raw supply being con-
trolled by a very few concerns. a con-
siderable part Of the worlds stocks
has been held away from the market,
making it difficult for manufacturers
to secure raw materials" the COM
pilatioD states. "Of the silk import
ed into the United States. about S.
per cent comes from Japan.
Silk Storage Enormous.
AS early as November. 1919. it was
known that the storage Of stocks of
raw silk in the United States was
enormous. it being reported on Nov.
2s that three warehouses in New
York City held s17O.0O0.000 worth of
raw silk Insurance issued on raw
silk in warehouses proved that the
stocks were constantly increasing.
