BUSINESS TIPS
By Albert Apple

New York. May 24-Russia IS i'm
porting only about $4,000. 600
worth OF goods month. But she
is steadily coming back as a world
buyer. Not counting famine relief,
Russian imports now are around
$4,000 tons a month, against 10000
tons a year ago
Germany is getting about half OF
Russia's orders. Great Britain is
second.
Mail Movement
Receipts OF so leading postofices
now are nearly twice as big as in
1913. The gain is a tenth over a
year ago, but a trife under two
years ago. Stamp sales reflect par
eel post shipments and letter cam
paigns for business.
Railroads
Idle freight cars still total about
5000 in excess of the 7 per cent
line or normal" But the figure is
slowly dropping again as coal move
ment grows.
Auto Exports
Auto industry now is exporting
twice as many passenger cars and
trucks as a year ago. Total auto
exports are running over 100000
600 a year, exceeding pre-war fig
ures by a third
No signs OF a let-up in domestic
sales. Factories are close to capaci-
~, with no easing in parts and axles
shortage. Chief danger in this in
dustry now is over-production.
Building Boom
Big building boom Is reflected IN
advancing prices. Brick prices have
been moving up. Lumber market
is stiffening as It becomes harder
10 get prompt shipments from mills.
The large quantity scarcity is most
acute in cheaper numbers. Big buy
ers dominate the market National
lumber shipments exceed 100 =
600 feet week for first time since
the war, but even at that figure
production is a fifth below orders.
