Few people appreciate the fact that
there is difference in Coca Cola serv-
ed in bottles and that served at the
soda fountains. There is even differ
ence in the syrup used. Syrup such
as is used at soda fountains is sold by
authorized agents, usually wholesale

manufactured and marketed by home
concerns and home capital. The Coca

Polished samples of Arkansas gran
Ute have been sent to Eastern financi-
ers with the expectation of getting
hem interested in the development Of
Arkansas almost unlimited granite re
sources Small particles of stone from
a Pulaski county quarry were polished
by Monahan 6 Son Of this city and
while the polish Is as high as that TAX
en- by New England granite, 1t is not
expected to hold its finish. The rea-
son for this is that the granite came
from near the surface and has been
softened by the elements. Mr.. Mona
han Is Of the opinion that when suffi-
cient amount of granite has been re-
moved, cellar blue stone will be found
equal I'm texture to that now brought
from the East Mr. Monahan says it
will be in layers quarrying easy and
sufficiently hard TO take and hold the
highest polish. The granite near the
surface is gray. Mountains of granite
must be removed before the finer stone
is uncovered hence Il win take mil
lions to develop the granite quarries.
The surface granite is largely in bould-
crs and # is difficult to cut, the
principal use for it is for building or
highway purposes.

Cotton conditions have not yet been
reflected in the price of cotton cloth,
according to j. T. Beal, president of
the Beal-Burrow Dry Goods Co., but
this cannot long endure. what is
holding back an advance in price is
mystery" says Mr.. Beal, but ii must
come, and come soon. Many of the
manufacturers have withdrawn prices,
but we have been able to purchase
merchandise to fill our broken lines at
l'old prices, even though they at first
demanded an advance. Some of the
largest mills will not quote prices at
all, and If merchant desires their
merchandise il will be shipped at a
/ price later to be determined. This
price is to be in accordance with the
next quotations that are offered. Some
of the mills have undertaken to an
nOunce advances, but almost immedi-
ately they are withdrawn and when
sales are made. they are in accordance
with the old price.
ut is my opinion that the manu-
facturers were pretty well stocked with
old cotton, and having made their
prices on the cost OF the material on
hand, they are standing by those prices
until the new crop begins TO find its
way into the mills They cannot pay
present day prices for raw material
and sell merchandise at the prices
now prevailing. An advance must
come. Some manufacturers are buy
ing cotton but ii is only to fll orders
they have on hand. expect TO see
many of them continue this policy.
taking orders and then buying the cot
ton to fill them. With such a short
age as we now have, the mills are
certainly not going TO continue selling
at present prices.
The Southern mills are now practi-
cally in control of the market. They
have no labor troubles as they operate
on the community plan, which gives
their employees ideal living conditions,
and the only organization they know
is for the protection of their mutual
interest the mill as well as the en-
ploye. / never saw anything like the
market of today, with high cotton and
cotton goods selling at much less than
its replacement value. have been in
business quite a while, and / know
that such conditions must soon change.
What is more remarkable is that
wholesalers purchased all the mer-
chandise the mills cared to contract
for when the prices opened and under
ordinary conditions we would not be
in the market, but with such certain
advance coming a merchant would be
foolish not to buy If he could get mer-
chandise at the old prices"
In the face of an evident rise in the
market the Beal-Burrow Dry Goods
Co., will put on big sale Nov. 18th
and allow 10 per cent off for cash.

Chief Justice Walter /. Mccoy,
of the District Supreme Court,
will take up the Potomac Electric

This will be the launching of the
second phase of the legal battle
on the valuation case, a fight
which will continue for probably
another year.
Lawyers On Hand.
Lawyers for the Public Utilities
Commission will be on hand with
arguments to support their request
that the difference between the 10

collected for electric current and
the s. cent rate set by the commits
sion be impounded until the valua

In the valuation case is both inter

trio users. The electric company
is planning by a series of legal
naneuvers to get possession of the
1900, 900 impounded. Every family
in the District which uses electric
current has some $50 to $50 at
stake.
Syme's post as special counsel
ends July l unless $4,000 is raised
to continue him in office. Through
a campaign of The Times and
