The market opened at a decline of
to 16 points on the more active
positions, and soon showed net losses
OF 1S to 33 points, with May selling
off to 1922. July to 1855 and Decem--
Der to 1913. This was the result of
realizing or scattering liquidation by
commission houses. while there was
also local selling on expectations that
improving weather conditions in the
south would lead to further reactions
from the peak of the recent advance.
At decline of about 60 points from
the high price of Thursday. however.
the market was steadied by trade
buying. and there was covering by

in this assumption, there cannot be
any doubt that In the financing of a

OF Concrete roads, the
methods used in screening
the stone caused a waste
OF IS per cent.
One of the Portland Ce-
ment Association field en-
gineers interested in the
progress OF thiswork called
attention to studies made
by our Structural Mate
rials Research Laboratory
on the selection and pro-
portioning of materials for
Concrete. Hesuggested that
proper application of these
might considerably reduce
the waste. A change in the
method of screening ma
terials was therefore adopt
ed, reducing the waste to
only IS per cent. without
lowering the strength of
the Concrete.
Now the stone is costing ~ cents
instead OF ST. ton, as estimated
when the contract was let this
year, as against $1.45 actual cost
last year. On the mileage to be
built, this means saving OF more
than $4,000, which will be used
to build more Concrete road-at
no cost to the taxpayers
This is but one example Of the
value OF our laboratory studies to
users of Concrete. The Labora-
torys work is to develop contin-
ualy, without cost to the public,
better and more economical
methods of making and using Con-
crete under all conditions
