The following is from a WEEKLY
market letter that we
receive:
“With a 7 billion dollar war tax to bo raised, prac
tically all manufacturers have withdrawn from the mar
ket. or are accepting business subject to price and condi
tions at time of shipment, as foodstuffs will have to stand
their share of the war burden, and until this tax is adjust
ed all business must be on a “hand to mouth” basis. In
addition, there has been a general advance on all steam
ship rates, and it is now practically assured that the
railroads will be granted their request for a 15 per cent
advance, all of which must l>e added to the co>t of the
goods. ’ ’
They surely are putting the prices up over the moon.
Where the end will be, we feel too timid to make even a
guess, the pace is too swift. Prices are all that SHERMAN
once said about war.
Don’t you think it would be well to anticipate your
wants in the line of staples before prices advance any
higher?

I DR. ALFRED BROOKS
BECOMES A CAPTAIN
WASHINGTON, May 7.—Dr. G. C.
1 Martin, who heretofore has been in
charge of geological survey mineral
j investigations in Alaska when Dr
Alfred H. Brooks was absent on
j other duties, will head the Alaska
i work this year. He is regarded as
the survey’s authority on coal and oil
I in Alaska.
Dr. Brooks has just received his
commission as a captain of engineers
i in the army reserve and is under or
ders to go into training camp for
' three months. If he fails to make
good as a soldier, or if the government
cannot use him in that capacity, he is
i going back to Alaska.
But, in any event, the work in Al
aska is going ahead, and it probably
! will take a considerable slant toward
oil and coal development this year.
