COTTON ADVANCE HELPFUL
Stimulates Buying New Orleans
Section.

New Orleans, La. April fi.-Thc
steady advance in the price of cotton
in the last ten davs has had most
heartening effect on general trade in
this section and has stimulated buy
ing on the PART of jobbcrs and large
retailers. It's effect, however. has
not yet become evident on the country
merchant who is still buying very con-
servatively.
This is due largely TO the fact
that farm labor has been kept idle
for so long by unfavorable weather
that its buying power is small. Farm
operations have made good progress
this week with the outlook for in
creased paintings of sugar and cotton
very favorable. The rice acreage prob
ably will be smaller than in 1928.
Retail trade, especially in clothing.
shoes. millinery and underwear, is
well ahead Of last year.

New York. April 1f.-Practically
every housewife in the United States
knows what sine is accustomed to put
into the breakfast coffee pot daily.
But indications exist that she will
not be able 10 tell what she can put
into the pot some months hence or
what it will cost her. Already coffee
drinkers all over the country are COM
planning to grocers. wholesalers and
roasters of the inferior grade of cup
coffee.
Brazil holds the dominating influ-
ence in the coffee market at present
and dealers are giving that government
full credit for its cleverness in hand
ling its coffee problems. The coffee
market of America is practically
based on Rio coffee. Mocha and Java,
once names TO deal with when the
steaming coffee cup was considered,
now are names only in the trade.
Brazil is endeavoring so to con-
troll the marketing of the supplies
from her plantations as to obtain
high prices. This government effort
at valuation, which simply means the
maintenance of arbitrary values by
government action, is dependent for
its success largely on the results of
efforts by the Brazilian government
TO obtain loan from Great Britain.
Negotiations for such a loan are
known to be in progress, but the
Brazilian government is steadfast in
It's policy of refusing to announce how
far the matter has progressed.
Receipts Continue Small.
In the meantime receipts at the
Brazilian ports continue small. Ship
ments TO this country likewise are of
nominal proportions. Roasters here
are buying very limited amounts in
the hope of lower prices and stocks
throughout this country are relatively
light. The statistical position of. this
great commodity is unprecedentedly
strong. Stocks of Rio coffee in this
market are estimated by one authority
at not above 10000 bags, of which
the bulk is owned by roasters. Stocks
afloat are not large.
The amount at Rio itself totals
only approximately 261 900 bags and
it is estimated there remain only
about $4,000 bags of the last cror
TO come forward from interior points
San Antonio light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1911-1993, 1924-04-11

making n total supply Of Gl2 600 bags
to meet demand until the new crop
comes on the market July I. Fore
casts Of the 1924 crop available 80
far indicate that the Brazilian supply
will be moderate, probably IN the
ncighborhood Of 3,O00.nO0 bags.
Demand Exceeds supply.
Against this supply. world re-
quiremcnts Of Rio coffecS between
now and July !. are placed at 1,592,.
600 bags or a deficit of 100000 bags.
Requirements for the annual period
beginning July /, are estimated at
4.176.O00 bags. or n probable deficit
of 1,776000 bags. The amount of
Rio coffee required cannot be sup
piled from other sources except at a
higher price. The next grade to Rio
is Santos, which relatively is IL
cents q pound higher than Rio.
In addition. the experts of the trade
are convinced that coffee now may be
regarded as an indispensable ingredi-
ent of the world food supply and
that it will continue so even though
the economic conditions in general
here and abroad should take n turn
for the worse. Laneuyille, noted
French statistician, places the worlds
visible supply u month ago at 4.1S1.-
300 bags, rs against 7,471, 900 March
/. 1923. Other statisticians place the
world supply today at only 3,S93,0OO
bags. In view of these figures one
Of the most important leaders in the
trade may be quoted as follows:
Expect Higher Prices.
AS result of the strong position
we are believers in the
coffee futures market and anticipate
much higher prices"
Another expert, equally well known
said: ave continue TO believe that
the general position of coffee points
to much higher gold prices in the
future
Arrivals of Colombian and Vene-
zuelan coffees have been delayed by
brought which has prevented water
shipments from the interior of those
countries. At one time in the last
fortnight it was reported 100000 bags
we're stored along the Magdalena riv-
n waiting higher water before they
,ould be shipped.

MILL RESUMES OPERATIONS.
Improvement i'm Print Cloth Demand
i'm New England.

Boston, April 11.-There has been
a moderate improvement in demand
for print cloths at New England mills
in theHast few days, as is evidenced
by resumption of operations at the
American Printing company plants at
Fall River.
Curtailment at the mills since
Christmas has aided in the disposal
of stocks but the situation still is
serious because of high raw material
costs. 1t is still doubtful whether the
improvement noted can be called gen.
eral. Bingham makers are fairly ac-
tive. but fine goods mills are slowing
down. More encouraging, however, is
the saving bank situation here which
shows deposits of S44S, 434, 900, the
highest ever reached.

OAK IS POPULAR
FOR STRENGTH
AND BEAUTY
SkiIIfuI Manufacturing Makes
Durability and Appearance
Desirable Purchase

While there are for all essential
purposes but two classes of oak,
white and red, the various gradings
of the two permit uses which run
the whole range of American build
ing activities.
Oak being one of the strongest of
woods, for heaviest structural pur-
poses, such as bridges, heavy build.
Ing construction, planking and ship
timbers, engineers give oak the very
high preference.
For it's same structural strength
oak is the preferred wood for furni-
ture making.
You can trust oak furniture to
last and though it may grow in
age it bears the dents and hard
knocks with dignity. Oak is the
great "boy-proof" wood which seems
to scorn the pampering necessary
with less sturdy materials.
American furniture manufacture
ers have become masters in the
handling Of oak wood. foremost of
which is their skillful use of the
natural grains of oak for many eff
fects according to the purpose of
the wood in home or furniture con.
struction.

ducement to First Five
Home Seekers

An innovation in bungalow build
Ing is offered home seekers Of
Washington and vicinity by the
Economy Building Company in
conjunction with the Sterling
Realty Company.
The company will build on the
owners lot, or lot to be furnished

Here is an offer never before

touring car or the complete fur
nishings for the bungalow. The
cars have been ordered through the
Triangle Motor Company and
Mayer & Company will furnish the

w. F. Fredericks, architect and
head of the company, has asso-
ciated with him men connected
with the building of Washington

offering the bungalows. he says,
$1,000 cheaper than they would
be offered in the open market.
The company guarantees to have
the bungalows completed three
months from the date the con-
tract is signed.

plan, which makes it possible for
the man of limited means to own
one of the bungalows, is that
only $500 in cash is needed to
start operations. The company will
build the bungalow on the owners
lot or will furnish the lot.
The bungalows offered will have
five rooms and bath, with full
light cellar, newest electric fix
lures, hot water heat, folding iron.

The opportunity for choice Of
colors and woods becomes infinite
in oak and each room may reflect
Individuality, differing from others
about you. The choice Of either
white or red oak, plain or quarter
sawed, becomes simply matter Of
choice which will reflect the mood
the room is supposed to encourage.
There are many ways of produC-
ing the infinite variety of designs
in oak. The selection Of specially
figured logs becomes the first i'm
portant step for special work. The
most common effect is gained from

to the radii. and hence also the

flaked effect.
For special decorative effects, the
selection of oak burl, of knotted oak
caused by insects, is made and
used as inserts. Used in small
areas, it Is very beautiful.
Oak wins it's universal esteem
from the fact that you never grow
tired of it. You can live in rooms
paneled to the freize with oak, fur

floored with oak, and still find its
companionship growing in your af-
