Made by the world'* largest manufacturer of oil doth, a new

is finding extensive use in leading hotels and apartment buildings.
Providing a permanent and washable finish with structural as well as
decorative advantages, the cotton covering has been specified in 5,000
houses now being constructed as a part of the national defense pro

Lint Drops $2.50
Per Bale; Mill
Activity Is High
The Demand For Cotton
Cloth Continue*
Strong
Cotton prices declined about
$2.50 per bale this week, reports
the Department of Agriculture.
Prices have declined "about S6.00 j
per bale during the past three
weeks. Weather reports indicated !
that conditions were mostly lav- :
orable to the cotton crop.
Activity in npot markets de-!
d-eased and the volume of re
ported sales was smaller than in
the corresponding weeks in recent
years. Domestic mill activity
reached new highs during July
but according to reports declined
eontraseasonally during the first
half of Aug. Demand for cotton
cloth continued strong. Exports
we ii> s till at low levels.
The 10 _, narke t average of 15.74
cen ^ s f ol . Middling 15-16 on Fri- i
day August 15> wa s 50 points
lower than a week ago and com .
pared wjth 9 P( . nt , a year ago
Futures pricM declined 49 to 53
points for the week.
Domestic mill consumption to
taled 929,000 bales in July
largest for any month on record)
against 875.000 bales in June and
623,000 in July last year, accord
ing to the Bureau of the Census.
Total consumption of 9,718,000
bales for the 1940-41 season 'the
largest on record) was about two
million bales largei than for 1939-
40 and about 1 3-4 million bales
larger than the previous peak of
7,950,000 bales in 1936-37. Con
sumption averaged 6.035,000 bales j
in the 10 years 1930-39
With unfilled orders for unfin
ished cotton cloth and yarn excep
tionally large and with mills well
booked for deliveries of goods for
months ahead, prospects are fav
orable for a contitnuation of the
high rate of mill activitty.
Mill sale* of unfinished cloth
increased early, but late in the
week offerings were reported to
be few, with buyers’ demands for
goods unheeded.
Finished goods .-ales continued
large and the volume m whi le
sale and retail markets were re
ported to be well ahead of the
substantial dollar volume of a
year ago.
Industrial production was well
maintained at high ltvels during
early August. Wholesale commod
ity prices were about unchanged
and prices of securities weakened
slightly.

The Federal Reserve Rank of
Atlanta reported that the volume
of department store sale* in key

week ended August 9 was 47 per

Another age old custom may be
abolished in Georgia to aid our
national defense program. In this
case, it would be changing the
time of milk deliver es from be
fore dawn to later in the day
when there is daylight, By so
doing Georgia via rymen can help
the gasoline shortage by saving
approximately 22,000 gallons of
fuel each week, according to C.
M. McMillan, execute 9 secretary
of the Georg.a Dairy Association,
who originated the idea. However,
before making a definite sugges
tion to members of his associa
tion, Secretary McMillan said his
organization would conduct a
statew.de poll to determine if it
vould be possible to shift milk
deliveries from the early morn
mg hours to daylight periods. He
explained that pre-dawn deliver
ies necessitates duplicate trips in
many instances for collections and
bottle pick-ups.
Here are Mr. McM,Han’s oalcu

1,260,000 mile* a week, using
about 114,546 gallons of gas. If
mileage rnuld be reduced to 20
per cent by eliminating duplicate
trips, some 22,000 gallons of gas
could be saved. He added: "This
business of delivering milk before
daylight is just a tradition, pure
ly and simply an aged custom.
The practice got started back in
days when there were only a
few refrigerators and people had
to have their milk fresh. I don't
see any reason why milk can’t be
delivered during the daytime now.
Everybody has a refrigerator or an
ice box. If the early morning trips
could be eliminated, I'm certain
we could save a lot of gas and
help national defense.”
