Work Progressing on New Block.

A busy place during sne past wooA nao
been the site Of the new block to be
erected by the Paris Building Associa-
ton, on Market Square. A crew of about
eight, mostly local men, have been kept
at work, under the direction of w. A.
Jack, foreman for T. F. Moreau q Go. OF
Lewiston, who are to build the block.
What was left of the brick underpinning
of the Odd Fellows Block has been de-
molshed, and an unbelievably large pile
of bricks have been assembled, which
are now undergoing the tedious process
of cleaning. The concrete floor OF the
old basement has been broken up and
carted off, and large portion OF the
stone basement walls has been taken
down and the stones broken up to be
used in the concrete Of the new founda-
ton. Further excavation for deeper
cellar Is now going on.
What has much the appearance OF q
white elephant is the old freproof vault
of the town, the doors of which were re-
moved some time ago. The wall was
dug out from under this, and the con-
crete vault fell into the cellar with q
thud which shook the earth but didn't
lar the vault a bit. With sledges the
corners have been chipped off, and drills
and explosives have been brought into
play, but after many hours work there
still remains much of the many.tO mass
TO be broken up so it can be handled.
1t is understood that the work OF
building will be pushed rapidly, and that
. considerable showing on the new build
| ing will be made In the next few weeks.
The building committee which has
charge of the work is composed Of Perley
F. Ripley, j. Hastings Bean and U. K.
Clifford.
The stock subscription Of the Paris
Building Association is now open, and a
number Of shares have already been sub.
scribed. As this is matter OF general
public interest, 1t is expected that those
who have the welfare Of the place Ut
heart will take hold to make the build
ing possible. A soliciting committee for
the sale of shares 10 composed OF Stanley
M. Wheeler, L. L. Mason and Irving o.
Barrows, and subscriptions may be made
with any of them.

"The sadness is intensified by the fact
that in 1917 Mrs. True's mother and sis
ter were killed by similar collision In
Hiram at Bridgton junction crossing.
The sympathy Of our entire populace is
extended to the many friends of the

regarding per cent cumulative prefer
ence r stock, par value SO. now selling at

sold BY Henry L. poherty 6 Co. SO Wal!

Answer-The stock to which you re-
Ger is Cities Service Bankers shares.
The Preference stock is a second pre-
ferred stock, par $40, paying 6 per cent
a year and no more. The bankers
shares represent one-tcnth of one COM
mon share and they pay variable divi-
dends. They are speculative, in our
opinion. because they are sensitive to
earnings and market developments
The Preference B shares are probably
good investment for part of ones
capital.

More Buyers Than Usual
and Great Increase Over
Recent Weeks in Market:
Orders Are Termed Good

Continued Improvement IS reported
from nearly all branches Of the local
Wholesale trade, particularly in textiles
and wearing apparel. More buyers
tnan usual. and many more than have
been IN the local market for month 9
are now here, and in some cases thew
are placing substantial orders. In
ADDITION to the many retail representa-
siVes here on buying trips, the in
terror drygoods jobbers are beginning
TO appear in the market in advance Of
the convention of the National Whole
sale Dry Goods Association to be held
next week
New orders for cotton goods CON-
til-ue to cheer that section ~ the
textile trade. Woolens also are be-
ginning to share in the increased
business, particularly from the retail
end OF the trade. Sellers of the So
called staple worsted dress goods lines
are shaping their plans for naming
new prices within the next few weeks.
1t Is likely that the new prices will
De efectlve only for few months. as
ootn buyers and sellers appear un-
wiling to tie themselves up in long
term contracts.
In the women's apparel trades more
buyers ara reaching the market everv
day' ana business in this line is rapid
" assuming activity. Most manufac-
1urers assert that they have marked
thelr products more closely than ever
before and that retailers have de-
clafeo their intention of doing the
sumo. manufacturers prices general
y are from 20 to 80 1-3 per cent below
those OF last spring. Prices for faII
merchandise were about on a mar VIII
those of last spring.
