It is an interesting fact that the in- 

 dustries that most closely aflFect our 

 own, namely, glass and coal, are now in 

 the hands of trusts. Glass has been 

 advanced until today certain popular 

 sizes cost two and one-half times as 

 much as they did five years ago. And 

 with the glass factories idle to keep up 

 prices there is no relief in sight. The 

 increase in the price of coal "is not so 

 marked. The small sizes will be higher 

 than last year, while the large sizes are 

 to be steadily pushed up each month 

 until September, when high water mark 

 slightly below last winter's strike scare 

 price will be reached. 



Should these two great trusts succeed 

 in carrying out their plans it will be 

 necessary for us to look sharp or our 

 stock will cost us more to produce than 

 ive will get for it. Personally, I believe 

 the demand will he so good as to justify 

 IiiuIm r ],v\,;'< iioxt season than la.st sea- 

 ^"11- '-^'""l :is tliiy then were, and that 

 "ill 'ii I'M^I iill'-i'l tlie advance in the 

 cost of tlie articles we consume. This 

 is, however, an uncertainty against al- 

 most a certainty, and it will be well for 

 us all to use judgment in making plans 

 for the winter.
