NEW YORK HOTELS FILLED
Demand for Rooms Grows Daily and
Rates Are Reduced.
From New York letter to tine Detroit

From n New York letter TO the Detroit
News.
Visitors will do well TO make hotel
reservations in advance. Just as they
did in war days and the hectic weeks
following, Managers say the demand
for accommodations Is the greatest
since the peak days of the war.
New Hork's growing popularity as
a winter playground is given as the
cause, hundreds of visitors coming
from the south and from Central
and South America.
Latest statistics say there are 2s4
hotels in New York, not including
lodging houses, boarding houses or
apartment houses that accommodate
transient guests. The hotels have
about 10000 rooms, 10000 baths
and hundreds of kitchens, restau-
rants and service rooms. They
employ about 10000 persons and
their capacity is about 10000 per-
sons.
Rates, the managers say, began to
swing back to normal about two
years ago, and in comparison are
now not much higher than pre-war
prices Of other commodities.

Trade That Touches All.

We always look to George E. Rob-
erts of the National City bank to put
things clearly. He told the Export
Managers club at their recent meeting
in New York what had happened to the
world and gave pat and pertinent
illustration, says the Nations Bust
ness.
Russia, he said, was one of the
great tea-drinking countries of the
world. India was one of the great tea
producers. The war stopped Russia
from her tea drinking and India
couldn't sell her tea. India is great
cotton wearing country, but if she
couldn't sell her tea she couldn't buy
cotton, so the mills Of Manchester were
shut down. If England's mills were
not running our Southern farmers
could not sell their cotton and they in
turn shut down on buying.
What is true of tea and cotton is
true in greater or less degree Of the
hundreds and thousands of things that
make up our daily life. The Australian
market for shoes affects the mill towns
of New England and the fashion in
stockings in Argentina is reflected in
the pay roll of a Philadelphia worker.

plenty of people going about who daily

Metal Largely Replacing Wood.

Our ancestors of one or two hun
dred years ago in America lived in
an age of wood. No metal chairs
no metal filing cases, no brass beds
were to be found in home or Office
Wooden wagons prevailed and wood
en- farm machinery, faced or rein
forced, to be sure, with metal, blu;
chiefly of wood. Yarn was spun with
wooden spinning wheels and looms
chiefly of wood wove the yarn.
Substitutes for wood in the past
half century, however, have revolu
tionized construction of buildings
bridges and sidewalks. Altogether
substitutes for wood have reduced
our wood consumption about one-third
In most instances this is all very well
marking progress in civilization.
