Device Announced

Observation-Disclosures Cor

ductlon of "Multilith," a revolt
tionary development in the field
of TYPOGRAPHY, to meet demand
for an economical photographic
printing, duplicating and repro
ducing machine for use in offices,
publishing and commercial con-
Germs. The new method is de-
scribed as a modern. practical
adaptation of offset TYPOGRAPHY
to everyday business needs.
Company engineers report that
the Multilith greatly reduces the
need for costly type composition,
while other advantages claimed
are delicacy and beauty of re-
produced images, the production
of images on practically all grades
Of paper without damage due to
excessive moisture, ease with
which printing surfaces can be
prepared, and high printing speed
capable of lithographing 5000
copies per hour. An unusually

BIC TRADE GAIN
REPORTED IN
NEW YORK

NEW YORK, Feb. 28.-Huge in
creaseS in trade of metropolitan
wholesale and department stores
for the month Of January we're
reported yesterday by the New
York Federal Reserve Bank. In
some lines, the gain was said to
constitute the largest year-to-year
change ever recorded by the bank.
WhOlesaling Scars
Reporting wholesale firms sales
averaged "a per cent higher than
a year ago, the largest advance
since July and August of last
year. Hardware and grocery
firms recorded the best gain over
a year ago on record.
The increase in grocery sales
was attributed in part to liquor
departments but excluding that
business the increase amounted to
291a per cent, the report said.
Stationary stores ran ahead of
a year ago by the largest amount
in four years, and sales of shoes,
paper, cotton goods, and dia-
monds showed larger increases
over a year ago than in any
month since last Summer.
Store Sales Jump
Mems clothing and jewelry
firms reported more favorable
comparisons than in December
but the increases we're somewhat
smaller than in November. Sales
Of reporting drug companies we're
slightly smaller than a year ago,
following a Sizeable increase in
the previous three months.
January sales of reporting de-
partment stores were IL per cent
higher than a year ago and for
the first two weeks of February
rose IS per cent compared with
1898. Exclusive of wines and
liquors the gain for the first half
of February amounted to liz
per cent, the largest increase
in recent years.

World Use of Tin
Increased Sharply

Substantial increases in tin con-
sumption by the worlds leading
industrial countries during 1888
are analysed in a survey just COM
pleted by The Hague statistical
office of the International Tin
Research and Development Coun-
Gil. World tin consumption for
1888 is officially reported at 1877
400 tons, compared with 99,986
tons for 1882.
The most important increases,
the report shows. occurred in the
United States, the United King
dom, France and Germany. A 38
per cent increase in the worlds
automobile output during 1888
contributed largely to the greater
demand for tin.
The use of tin in manufacture
in the United States increased
from 40.600 tons in 1882 to 60,910
tons in 1888, gain of so per cent.
Consumption of tin by the tin.
plate industry accounted for the
greater part of this considerable
increase.

UPWARD SURGE
IN STEEL RATE
CONTINUES

NEW YORK, Feb. % GN.S0.
The upward surge of activity in
the steel industry has gathered
added momentum, the weekly Iron
Age Review says today, with ingot
production placed at Al per cent
of capacity, a gain of 212 points
from week ago, and the highest
operating rate since last August.
Some Reactionary Influences
Reactionary influences are Sc
we're weather conditions which
have held back building opera
tions, and sporadic labor difficult
ties, especially among automotlVe
plants in the Chicago district.
Scrap prices are stronger IN
virtually all centers, and ad-
vances in heavy melting steel at
chicago and Pittsburgh have
raised the Iron Age scrap COM
posite from $12.25 to $12.75 a
gross ton, it's highest level since
october, 1880. At Chicago, local
scarcity of heavy melting grade
is forcing the trade to draw upon
the St. Louis district for supplies.
Demand from the motor car
industry shows no abatement and
is reflected in the heavy book
ings of sheet and strip producers.
Several mills are now turning
down orders for cold-finished
sheets and enameling stock, as
their capacities for these grades
are fully taken up for March.
Orders Exceed 6O-Day Capacity
Retail orders for automobiles
now exceed so days capacity pro
duction and are in the largest
volume since 1929.
Steel bookings from the auto
mobile sector are being supple
mented by broadening demands
from other sources. Mills are
commencing to get releases from
the Pennsylvania railroad against
the purchase of $4,000 tons for
car construction. as well as its
orders for electrification work.
Specifications for the $4,000
tons of steel for the Van Swer-
ingen cars are being prepared
and should reach the mills late
this week or early next week.
Early action is looked for on 1885,
900 tons of rails wanted by the
Baltimore and Ohio, the Erie, and
the New York Central.

TOPS
1888 SALES

NEW YORK, Feb. 2S.-February
selling of hardware has continued
at a rate sharply ahead of last
February, and in more favored dis
tricts the totals are pushing above
the corresponding figures of 1882,
Hardware Age will say tomorrow
in its market summary.
Most hardware wholesalers re-
port current percentage gains
of January, yet measuring up to
their most hopeful estimates, and
without signs to cause fear OF
early or serious reaction.
Retailers who are currently at
tending their annual trade con-
ventionS have ceased to talk or
think of their past troubles, and
have settled to a real confidence
in the oncoming of better bust
ness, better prices, and better
times.
More and more merchants are
realizing the advantage of for
ward buying of their coming sea-
sonable needs. Comment is gen.

paid up, and that the Govern
