First of All— 
they look well 
CREX Rugs look well in 
every room in the house. In¬ 
deed, they increase the charm 
and freshness of every room. 
There are colors both subdued 
and warm. Patterns formal 
and sprightly. Sizes to fit 
everywhere. And these rugs 
keep on looking well for a long, 
long time. The dirt is wiped 
off with a damp cloth, or shak¬ 
en out with a toss. You’ll al¬ 
ways be satisfied if you buy 
rug's with the name C-R-E-X 
woven in the edge of the side 
binding. They'll always look 
well— 
And More Than That 
they wear well 
CREX Rugs smile under an 
unbelievable lot of traffic. Two 
things make them wear well. 
The material — strong, new 
wire grass, selected for its 
husky fiber. And the weave— 
a special patented process by 
which the strands of grass are 
twisted, like the threads of 
steel in a cable, to give added 
sturdiness. Before you choose 
a rug — for any room in the 
house — look at CREX Rugs, 
and for your own protection be 
. sure the name C-R-E-X is 
woven in the edge of the side 
binding. Dealers everywhere 
have them.

TRADE NOTES 
Parcel Post Shipments for Sweden 
A parcel post convention concluded between the 
United States and Sweden, made effective June 1, 
increases the maximum weight limit of such ship¬ 
ments from 11 pounds to 22 pounds. It is also 
provided that the sender of a registered parcel is 
entitled, in case of loss, damage, or rifling, to an 
indemnity equal to the amount of the actual loss 
insured, not to exceed 50 francs for any one regis¬ 
tered parcel. 
Increased Activity in Norway Pulp Trade 
Both in the paper and pulp market there has been 
increased demand for Norwegian products. Efforts 
are being made to increase sales to oversea coun¬ 
tries, especially in South America. 
Finland as a Butter Export Country 
The exports of butter from Finland during 1921 
amounted to 14,253,000 pounds, as compared with 
2,508,000 pounds in 1920. Great Britain provides 
the best market for Finnish butter. Exports ot 
cheese are also increasing, the greater part of this 
article going -to Germany. 
Raw Cotton Supply Continues to Decline 
The visible supply of raw cotton continues to 
decline. Recent figures show a reduction in visible 
of 1,579,987 bales from 1921 and 710,431 bales from 
1920. The American supply up to June 1 was 
3,000,680 bales, compared with 4,532,667 bales in 
1921 and 3,887,111 in 1920. The first Government 
report on crop conditions showed cotton as 69.6% 
of normal, as against 66% last year, 62.4% in 1920, 
and 74.6% the ten-year average. 
Scandinavia Watchful of U. S. Tariff Outlook 
In view of the importance of the tariff issue to 
the European countries depending on exports of 
surplus products, the attitude of the United States 
with regard to the Fordney-McCumber bill, passed 
by the House of Representatives, is rousing appre¬ 
hension in the Scandinavian countries. In the one 
item of butter alone Danish dairy interests are 
concerned about the heavy increase in duties which, 
in case the bill should pass, would greatly hamper 
large exports to America. 
Danish Imports of American Motor Cars 
Of the 7,283 passenger cars and trucks imported 
into Denmark in 1921, the United States furnished 
5,600. American cars are on the whole most popu¬ 
lar among the Danes, as witness further the success 
of the Ford car manufactured in the Copenhagen 
establishment of the Detroit manufacturer. 
Director Gluckstadt on European Outlook 
Returning from Genoa, where Director Emil 
Gliickstadt was a member of important commis¬ 
sions appointed by the League of Nations to inves¬ 
tigate Central European affairs, the head of Land- 
mansbanken declared that the United States is 
bound to play an important part in the adjustment 
of the unsatisfactory situation in the war-ridden 
lands. Director Gluckstadt stated that leading 
Americans like Frank Vanderlip and Ambassador 
Child had been unofficial observers to a good pur¬ 
pose.
