II is of course, impossible 20 conduct a lumber business without earning q
profit Our prices have been adjusted, both up and down, as wholesale prices
have changed Our ratio Of profit has remained the same This ratio is the
lowest margin possible for the maintenance Of an efficient business. 1t is i'm
possible to further reduce the ratio. But every wholesale price reduction is
immediately reflected in our retail prices, and these prices, in III opinion,
are as low as they can be expected to be for an indefinite period, or while
present conditions of supply and freight rates continue to exist. II is interest
ing to note below that retail lumber prices here re uniformly lower than in
Los Angeles, which has the advantage of water rates; and likewise lower
than Ell Pao which has the advantage of common point as well as combination
water and rail freight rates.

AMERICA IS DOING
A BIG BUSINESS
WITH SOVIET RUSSIA
Despite, New Agreement With Eng
land Most of the Goods Are
Shipped From u. S.

Reval, April 5.-Despite the new
trade agreement between Great Brit
ain and soviet Russia, the largest
proportion of the extremely small
amount of goods entering Russla
through Esthonia continues to be Of
American origin.
One freighter in this port has just
unloaded 100000 pairs of American
shoes and quantity Of leather fol
shipment into Russia, while another
American steamer, similarly laden
has just arrived here. These deals
we're negotiated by the Robert Dol
lar Concern some months ago. =.
,Reval has been considered thu
most important port for Russian i'm
ports, but the official statistics pub
ished by the Esthonian government
show that only 1859 tons Of goods
were in transit to Russia through
Esthonia from Reval from January
1 to March 81.
Docks Congested.
The shipments included 3,52S ton:
If agricultural machinery, 2,S2e
;ons of textiles and footwear, 1,46s
:ods of miscellaneous machinery, 62(
tons of textiles and footwear, 1,46s
The docks at Reval are still eongest-
ed with shipments of machinery
some Of which are held up for lacl
of transport, and others because Of
reported financial hitches after theil
arrival. -. ... ...' ..+
No Russian goods were exported
trough Esthonia, during the first
three months Of the present year. I
The latest issue of Economic Life
published in soviet Russia, says tna'
in February, Russia imported l,4Ol'
$50 pools (about 25,271 tons) .,o'
all commodities of which 1,261,0O(
poods were coal from the United
States going to Archangel and Muir

commerce and boards Of trade in the
cities they will visit are being made
by the Argentine embassy here. The
party will come by way Of the Pana-
ma canal and will reach New York
May 2. They will remain in the Uni
ted States until the latter part Of
August. - p. '''' -, -.
Dispatches reaching Washington
from the Buenos Aires American
chamber of commerce describe a sit
uation which is said to be bad for
importers Of American automobiles
in Argentina. The situation is due
primarily to the 'unfavorable rate
Of exchange and the increased Gus
tom duties, with general business
depression. A decline in the .automo-
bile business in Argentina is fnn,i-
nent, it is stated, unless help is
forthcoming. Three thousand five
hundred American made cars are
held in customhouses and importers
warehouses and many importers
face bankruptcy. " ~. 49,.
A radical curtailment of opera
tions in some of the large copper
mines of Chile is imminent, accord
ing to consular reports received
here Great numbers Of native en-
ployees already are being discharged
and many Americans employed in
the operation Of copper mines will
be- sent back to- the United States.
These mining camps absorb a large
quantity of American products and
their practical suspension will mean
restriction Of Chilean imports from
the United States. - i @,
Through the Argentine embassy
here, a number Of pecan trees Sc
cured from Texas and other Sou
thern states are = being shipped to
Yerua, provinces of Entres Rios, Ar
gentina. The trees were selected
with the help of the United States
department of agriculture. The eli
mate of the district to which the
trees are being sent resembles that
Of our Southern states, and the con-
ditions for growing and cultivating
the trees are said to be much the
same. Everything is being done here
to insure the success of the under
taking the results Of which may
mean the establishment Of a new in
dustry in Argentina. :

prohibiting the sale or shipment Of
such plants as sweet potatoes, cab
bage and tomato plants unless the!

so that they are easily distinguished
They contain a printed statement to
the effect that the plants have bees
inspected and found free of disease
and insect pests and this statement
is signed by A. F. Conrad, State
Entomologist, land H. W. Barre,
State Pathologist. <..

Washington, April Great Bri-
tairfs drink bill increased by more
than $4Oo,Ooo,Ooo last year as COM
pared with 1919, says a report to the
Department of Commerce from Con
sui Hunter Sharp, at Edinburgh,
