“% FRIDAY, MAY 2, 1924. Oil Finance HIGHWAY BUILDING TO SEE RECORD YEAR ‘Billion-Doilar Campaign i in Prospect Before End of Season, Business Reporter States In National Survey. (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribun NEW YORK, May 2.—The great est annual period of highway con- struction this country has ever known really got under way yester- day, May 1 marked thi work in a score of state: the country roads and on city streets. Highway construction in 1924 probably will get Into the bil: Mon dollar class of industries. The amazing activity of this road con- struction is giving work directly te hundreds of thousands of men and ’ . tte effect is felt by the entire busi- mess world as well as those engaged in the equipment and supply busi- ness. The Portland Cement association reports that the awards for concrete highway construction in the first part of this year surpassed all pre- vious records. Approximately 12,- 000,000 square yards, or 1200 miles of concrete highway 18 feet vide, ‘were placed under contract during the first three months of the year. In addition, over 425 miles of city streets-have been ordered paved with concrete. These figures do not include the 2,500 miles of contracts which -were carried over from 1923 when cold weather put a stop to out- Seer work. q “Thousands “of miles of gravel highways.and road formed of other ‘materials than concrete are being built today throughout the country. State and federal officials are co- operating with officials of the var- fons* trail’ associations and with coment company heads and all say the volume of construction will be unprecedented. Demands of motorists, who now exceed 14,000,000 passenger and truck owners in this country, are forcing the program. How urgent this demand for good roads has be- come may be estimated by the fact that California alone expects more than 100,000 automobiles will enter the state this year, from outside points. Last year 70,000 cars, were registered from outside the state, an increase of 135 percent over 1922. State officials in California est!- mate that each of these visiting cars contains three persons on the a’ = ba and that they stay tn the state about 30 days and spend at least $10 a day for each party. On this basis, the motoring tourist swill leave $30,- 000,000 in California this year and & proportionate amount in the states thru which they pass. lifornians declare that the 7,000 miles of payed highways in the state have been a magnificent investment. There are 1,200,000 cars registered in the state and these have brought new settlers. The good roads con- necting various parts of the com- monwealth have led to quick up- building of country sections. - Transcontinental traffic 1s assum- ing large proportions. Last year 1,400 New York cars made the trip across the country to the Pacific coast, Illinois sent 2,625 cars to California, while Iowa, Kansas and Michigan were represented by simi- lar numbers. Each year the transcontinental highways are becoming better and 1924 will be marked by the opening of the victory highway between New York and San Francisco. In spite of all this activity, how- ever, only a small proportion of the country’s roads have been improved. A survey shows that there are ap- proximately 2,940,000 miles of high- ways of all classes in the United States. Of this mileage, about 420,- 000 have been surfaced with gravel, sand, clay or the more permanent materials, At the present rate of construction about 40,000 miles are to be surfaced a year. Since the life of @ road seldom exceeds 15 years, it can readily be seen that the construc- tion work must continue indefinite- -Federal ald extended for this purpose already has exceeded $390,- 000,000, State contributions have raised this sum to $823,457,266. In Tilinois a $60,000,000 bond issue for road construction has been authorized and the voters of the state will ballot en an additional $100;000,000 appropriation soon. Wis- consin is spendng between $25,000,- 000 dnd 30,000,000 on country high- ways this year and Minnesota and Michigan -have equally extensive plans. Commodity. ‘Wool. i s 4 TAUPA. Texas.—Wo0l o this section have sold 190,000 pounds s teeal still on the sheep's back at “#8% cents a pound. . ‘SEATTLE:—The first new clip ‘wool sold in this state brought 40 cents a pound for 30,000 pounds. * Fruit, “HOUSTON.—Blackberry vines in ast Texas have now been pruned and indications point toa big yield when gathering begins in earnest fn’ May.

This ts about 120 acres less than 1923 which yielded 2,075 carloads of tubers. . SEATTLE.—Potatoes in storage in Washington state aggregate 708 -carloads. The market is bullish since California potatoes are shut out by quarantine. - Building Materials, PITTSBURGH. — Building opera- tions are still conducted on a large ~seale in this district and there is a steady demand for lumber, brick, sand, mortar and cement, Hard- ‘ware dealers report a slowing down in their lines but plate glass orders are up to factory capacity and there eis a steady call for window glass and table ware. ‘Wheat. TOPEKA.—A total of 9,761,000 acres of wheat was sown in Kansas last fall. Only 4.2 per cent of this has been abandoned. The acreage il standing is greater than the five year average.

KANSAS CITY. — Manufacturers and dealers will open their fall rug offerings to the trade Thursday. The new styles run largely to taupes and grays in coloring. There is already evident a heavy demand for cheaper grades. Lumber. NEW ORLEANS.—Mills of the Southern Pine association received -8 per cent more orders this week than last, shipped .5 per cent more lumber and produced .5 per cent more. Orders on hand total 245,- 700,000 feet. * Coal. BOSTON.—Scenting an advance in anthracite price New England retailers are buying coal more free- ly. Higher prices are being asked and $8.75 for stove and $8.50 for ese and nut are the lowest now accepted, CONNELLSVILLE, Pa.—Some of the largest mines in the Connells- ville region have closed down owing to weakness in the coke market. This {acludes two of the big Frick mines. That company has blown out many additional coke ovens and the four day week now appears per- manent. Coal and coke production is at the lowest level in three years, Wage reductions have be- come general.

' NEW YORK, May 2.—Resump- tion of pool operations and covering by nervous short interests imparted a firm tone to today's stock market. Specialties made the best gains but good exhibitions of group strength were given by the equipments and shippings. Easier money rates were # factor in the buying movement. Sales approximated 700,000 shares. NEW YORK; May 2.—Stock prices displayed a firm tone at the open- ing of today’s stock market on what appeared to be active buying for both accounts. Speculative senti- ment undoubtedly was improved by the more encouraging tone of over night comnmission house market let- ters. Buying orders were spread over a broad Ust, Sears Roebuck advanced a point ‘and Pere Mar- quette moved up to a new 1924 high at 48. Strength of several specialties in- dicate the resumption of pool operations which probably have been Inspired by the ease of money rates. American Radiator advanced 24% points, Remington Typewriter two and Pressed Steel Car, General Electric, Allied Chemical, Savage Arms, Mack Truck and Manhattan Electrical Supply moved up a point or so, the last named at a new 1924 top. United States Cast Iron Pipe and Davison Chemical each fell back a point on profit taking. For- elgn exchanges opened steady. The rise got under way again when U. 8. Cast Iron Pipe was marked up to 92% compared with 88 earlier, and Studebaker, Chand- ler; New York Airbrake, Reynolds Tobacco B and Great Northern pre- ferred became strong. In the in- terim, however, several of the steels, oils, motors and various specialties were depressed sharply, Chicago Yellow Cab and Yellow Cab Manu- facturing each loving 2 points. Stock prices continued to move to higher ground until just before noon when a wave of profit taking brought about slight recessions from the top prices. It was essentially a specialty market, with Colorado Fuel, Fleishmann, American Smelt- ing, Gold Dust and Virginia Rail- way and power selling at their highest prices of the year. Nation. al Lead jumped 5% points and Loose Wiles’ 3%4, while internation- al business machine extended its to four points and General elec- three, Other strong spots included Brooklyn Edison, Interna- tional Paper, Savage’ Arms and U. S. Industrial Alcohol. Rails were firm with Atchison the early lead- er; Call money opened at 31% per- cent. The closing «was firm; ‘shipping shares became more active in the final dealings on reports of expand- ing ocean traffic, Marine preferred touching a new 1924 high at 3584 but Wilson and company preferred broke four points to a new low in sympathy with heavy liquidation of the bonds. _———— BIDS WANTED Notice is hereby given that Na- trona County High School will re- ceive bids up until the hour of 10 a. m., June 2nd, 1924, as follows: (1) For the erection and comple- tion of High School Building, ex- cept Plumbing, Heating, Ventila- tion, Gas Fitting, Electrical Work, Elevators and Pomp Eenks ‘urnishing and in- stalling of Plumbing, Heating, weneingon and Gas Fittin, 3) For Electrical Work.

CHICAGO, May 2.—Notwithstand- ing big new deliveries on May con- tracts today, the wheat market scored material fresh gains in price during the early dealings. Higher quotations at Liverpool, together with recent liberal European “buying of Canadian wheat, helped to lift values here. Announcement that the emergency tariff had virtually put a stop to imports of wheat into the United States except under bond was also a subject of notice. The opening, which ranged from %c to %o higher, with May $1.04% to $1.04% and July $1.06% to $1.061%, was followed by a slight further advance.
