House.
Senator Sherman OF Illinois and Sen.

BILE. Senator Underwood, of Alabama,
Democratic leader, is sponsor for the
item. The money is to be used to con.
tinue work on the power dam now
being constructed at Muscle Shoals in
Alabama.
The alignment on the bill in the
Senate Is somewhat doubtful, with
prospects for fairly close vote. That
there is a chance, however, to secure
the sl00O0,O0O appropriation is admit.
ted even by the Republicans who have
fought 1t hardest. The agricultural
districts, west as well as south, have
demanded that the great nitrate plant
be not abandoned. The value OF the
Muscle Shoals plant for furnishing
cheap fertilizer is the unanswerable
argument which has changed senti

American cutlery In Demand.

The natives of many foreign coun-
tries sit down to tables spread with
fine American cutlery. During the
past year exports of American table
cutlery amounted to 100000. In
Europe Norway was the best custom
er of our cutlery industry with pur-
chases totaling s225.0O0, while such
a comparatively small market as Dem
mark was able to take table cutlery
mp to the value of $4,000. But the
most important markets for United
States table cutlery are now found
In the two American continents. The
biggest purchaser Of table cutlery Is
Brazil, with a total requirement OF
$524000 during the last year. II was
followed by Argentina with a purchase
totaling $2s9.000, while Chile and Cuba
each took far in excess Of 500. 900 and
Mexico was Just touching the 100000
line. This growth Of the foreign de-
mand for American table cutlery
shows best the great progress that
has been made In the. manufacture Of
hlgh-class cutlery In the United States.
The table cutlery business of the world
was in the past practically the domain
of European producers
