BRISTOL, Va. Aug. 1s.-Un-,
hampered by strikes and effects Of
the recent period of depression in
business and industry this section
of Virginia is going through one Of
the most widespread building booms
It has known in years. The build
ing movement in this immediate
section seems to center in the towns
of the mining region in Wise, Lee
and Scott counties, although it is
not confined to any one section.
New homes, new public buildings
and new business houses are going
UP on an unprecedented scale. Two
new business buildings have Just
been completed in Bristol and more
than half a dozen others are in
construction. A new $150,000 hos.
pital is being built here and II ID
estimated about $50 homes are being
erected.
Across the state line in johnson
City, Tenn, new homes are going
up by the score. A new 81 900, 900
hotel is to be built there soon. At
Kingsport many new homes. and one
or two new plants and office build
ings are being constructed.

Steamers receiving Government

steamers and lines which receive
Government assistance resemble In
several respects star routes and

United States, as on account Of the
configuration Of Norway, many
points are accessible only by water.
Indeed, OF the 25, ,000, 900 kroner only
5000 kroner are for Norwegian
steamers in foreign trade.
While the purposes for which
Government aid IL granted remain

CHINA BUILDING 900
MILES OF RAILROAD
First Project Of Kind % Be Car
ried Out Without Any
Foreign Aid.
By WEBSTER X. NOLAN.
International Nexs Hsrvice.

China proposes to engage in a
railway construction enterprise all
her own-constituting an innova-
tion in the history of Chinese eco
nomic development. The enterprise
will be guided by no foreign hand;
no foreign funds will figure in the
financing of the project; no for
eigner will tender advice; not a
foreign engineer will be employed
in the oonsummation of the task
the new and ambitious China has
set for itself.
The Chinese government pro-
poses to build an extension railroad
from the new operating Peking-Sui-
yuan railway. The extension will
run to Paotowchen, a distance Of
100 miles farther west to the Vel
low river, according to advlces re-
ceived by the United States Depart
ment Of Commerce. The eurvey of
this line has been completed and
most of the grading work has been
done. But financial stringency COM
PEELED a suspension Of further work.
. II the laying of the track can be
started at an early date traffic to
Paotowchen may be opened before
the end of this year. This will
extend the length of the road to
approximately 500 miles.

264, 900 Autos in July,
Third Monthly Record

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE
third largest monthly production in
the automobile trade is reported for
July, according to Automouve In
dustries, out today.
About 246,000 passenger cars and
trucks were put out in that month,
the highest ever being recorded
being, in June, when the total was
1000, II is stated.
The total production for the year
Is brought UP to 1,403,000 by the
July record, the report says, and
indicates that 1922 win, be the in.
dustry's greatest year unless the
railroad and coal strike situation
causes curtailment Of production

qualification In the progress that
has been made in the adjustment
of Industrial and business problems,
both at home and abroad, during
the past week. The Cleveland coal
conference was the final step in
the negotiations providing for the
opening of a large number OF the
closed mines; the New York confer.
ence Of railroad executives and
union leaders at least provided the
first opportunity for the parties
chiefly affected to discuss matters
face to face; the President, in q
mastery manner. laid the broad
subject Of industrial relations be-
fore the joint session OF Congress,
while on the other side OF the At.
tive in creating a better under
standing of monstrous reparation
matter. .-
Attention has again been called
to the rising tendencies of com.
modify prices by the publication
of the monthly statement on this
subject by the Federal Department
Of Labor. During the month Of
July, according to its investigations,
retail prices gained about per
cent, as compared with June;
wholesale prices az per cent. and
special commodities all the way
from to 13 per cent.
Stabilization in prices is one OF
the most desirable features of the
reconstruction period, especially in
view of the close inter-relaton Of
industries and the absolute depend.
ence of the laboring man upon
them for the necessities OF life.
Much Of the Industrial unrest Of
today is based upon the small pur-
chasing power of the wage dollars
(which is far from living up to the
standard set for 1t year or so
ago), rather than the diminishing
quantity of such dollars in the
weekly envelope-at least by those
who are unorganized, and, there
fore, theoretically unable to pro-
tect themselves. A better grasp Of
fundamental economic conditions.
particularly as applied to produc.
ton and consumption, would
greatly aid in the solution OF this
most important problem.

Hawaii Will Have Big
Sugar Yield for 1922

HONOLULU. Aug. 19.-Hawaii's
sugar business gives every promise
Of experiencing a very prosperous
year, despite the pessimistic predic.
tions which were freely made earlier
in the year.
1t is now exected that the 1922
crop will run considerably over the
estimated amount, which was about
500, 900 tons of raw sugar. The 1923
crop will probably be even better, it

GASOLINE STOCK
SHOWS DECLINE
DURING MONTH.
June Production Shows In'
crease, But Consumption ls
Equally Great.

Gasoline stocks at refineries in the
United States July /. registered q
slight decrease from the figures for
the previous month, according to
statistics compiled by the Bureau OF
Mines. which show 24.s6s.456 gal
Ions on hand. This is decline OF
approximately 50 900, 900 gallons from
the figures for June 1. reflecting the
normal seasonal drop due to in
creased use Of automobiles in the
summer months.
Domestic consumption of gasoline
for June was 507 900, 900 gallons as
compared with 400 ,000, 900 gallons for
May and $4,000. 900 gallons for April.
The May figure represents an In
crease of II per cent in consump.
ton as compared with May year
ago, while a similar comparison for
June shows IL per cent increase. q
more nearly normal figure. Stocks
for June are 10 per cent In excess Of
June a year ago.
June Production.
Production Of gasoline for June
amounted to 526.s40. 500 gallons, an
increase Of 100000 gallons over
May and 51.oO0.0O0 gallons over
April.
Figures furnished the Bureau Of
Mines by refiners for the first six
months of 1922 show an increase of
9.9 per cent in domestic production
lar period in 1921. The increase in
domestic consumption is 6.1 per
cent in excess Of this amount or 16
per cent.
A daily average of 1,547 900 barrels
Of oil was run through the stills Of
the $40 refineries reported as oper-
ative during the month Of June.
These figures show a daily increase
OF 10000 barrels in the amount of
oils run and a decrease of five in
the number of operating plants re-
porting as compared with the month
Of May. Plants reported during
June were reunning an average Of
8S per cent of their daily indicated
capacity. In addition to the plants
referred to above, II is estimated
that there were probably ten plants
Of small total aggregate capacity
operating during June from which no
advices of any nature were received
by the Bureau Of Mines.
Imports.
Imports of gasoline for June
amounted to S.9S6,655 gallons; ex.
ports were 52.730.sSs gallons: and
shipments to insular possessions
were 1,S72,776 gallons.
Production of kerosene for June
amounted to 173,649.592 gallons, a
daily average increase Of 1S1 900 gal
Ions. Stocks Of kerosene on hand
July 1, amounted to 317,574,464 gal
Ions, a decrease of 1900 900 gallons
for the month. Exports and ship
ments Of this product were II, 500 900
gallons.
Fuel Oils.
Production Of gas and fuel oils in
June amounted to 900 ,056,57S gallons,
which Is a practical maintenance
Of the May rate Of production. Stocks
on hand July 1 were 1926, 1885,, ,662
gallons, which Ia q slight increase.
The output Of lubricating oil for
June was 80,138.257 gallons, which
indicates a daily average increased
production Of $4,000 gallons. The sea-
sonal demand for lubricants reduced
stocks to a figure OF 226, $685. gal
Ions on ahand July l, a decrease dur
ing the month Of 81, ,000, 900 gallons.

Manufacturers Association.
Recovering from the limitations on
production imposed by the forest
fires of the past two months. the
West Coast Lumbermen's Associa-
tion expanded its production about
ia. .O00. 900 feet over the preceding
week. At the same time the de-
ficiencies of railway transportation
due To the strike brought shipments
down about 10000, 900 feet and were
accompanied by a small decline In

Pine Association, while showing a

joyed an increase Of about II. 4.ooo.-
900 feet in orders accompanied by

tually every other section reported
an increase in production and
