Central Row. Members New York. Stock Exchange.) Monday, May 6. The news from abroad was much more favorable this morning and our market promptly to this In fluence and has continued strong all day. The opening was in line with the better quotations from London, but after the first hour, extreme dullness settled down once more and continued until along towards the close when a little spurt of activity prices carried to the highest point of the day.

It looks to us like a pretty thoroughly sold out condition in the market and as if prices might work to a still higher level, but we do not expect anything in the nature of a bull market and feel, as we have for a long time, that stocks can be sold to advantage when they are strong.

tablished in Austria, France, Germany and England and a European science and industry have been develo.td from American ores. The Austrian govern ment, realizing the untold possibilities of the radium ores at St. Joachlm-staal, purchased the mines, put them under direct governmental supervision and has an arrangement with the Vienna Academy iof Science whereby the ore is worked up into radium. On the other hand, the United States has allowed her much greater resources to be exploited by foreigners on a basis which wastes perhaps irretrievably a large part of the ores mined and has exported carefully selected ores at a price by no means commensurate with its radium value. Even before carnotite was exported, pitchblende, another radium-making ore of the highest grade was being sent out of the country, at the time when the world's radium output was supposed to be coming wholly from Austrian ores.

Then We Buy It For $2,250,000 An Ounce. SHOWS FOKESIGHT OF FOKEIUX SCIENTISTS. Washington, May 6. The United States Bureau of Mines has made the discovery that more than two-thirds of the radium supply of the world Is being made in Europe from American ores shipped abroad through the foresight of foreign scientists. Radium is purchasable only In very small quantities and at a price, equivalent to $2,250,00 an ounce, and although, from the investigations of the bureau of mines, it is shown that the United States has the greatest known supply of radium-bearing ores in the world, not one gram has been produced here.

"The United States today in the humilltating position of being forced to purchase at extravagant prices from abroad such radium as its hospitals and physicians can afford for experimental purposes, while we have been supplying the ores from which it is made," said Charles L. Parsons, chief of the division of Mineral Technology of the bureau. "We have paid Europe's prices for what we could get in order to investigate the wonderful properties of radium and their possible application to the eradication of disease- It is needless to say that we have been greatly hampered in our work by the almost prohibitive prices at which the radium has been held, "Several months ago, rumors reached the bureau of mines, that in Colorado there had been an increased demand for carnotite, radium carrying ore, and that this ore was being shipped abroad in considerable quantity. It was also reported that the Europeans were insisting upon only the highest grades of these ores and that a great amount of lower grade ores was practically being wasted. R.

B. Moore and K. I Kit-hil, in charte of the Denver, laboratory ot the bureau, were requested to investigate these rumors and they reached the surprising conclusion that while all the radium placed upon $he market in the last few years had been produced in Europe, a large poition of this had come from American ores. "Radium Institutes -Jjave been es I Thousands of concerns are doing it. They have discarded bek ledgers and are using Library Bureau card ledgers in their place.

Take these examples: Business No. of accounts Dry Goods Store 15,000 Coal Company. 70,000 Manufacturer 25,000 Wholesale grocery Co. 7,000 Importer 8,000 Savings Bank .240,000 National Bank 3,000 Gas Company 130,000 Shoe Store (Retail) 450 Dentist 500 Why did they change Because they found, when they looked into things, that B. ledgers do everything that book ledgers do and do it better.

L. B. card ledgers reduce the work of finding an account to a glance of the eye and a touch of the hand. They save anywhere from 50 to 75 floor space. 5000 active accounts can be handled by one man on an ordinary flat-top desk.

They're flexible. Any number of new accounts can be added and closed accounts eliminated. They're safe and accurate. Postings are so easily proved that a bookkeeper is foolish not to prove daily. Think what that means to know, when you lock the safe door, that everything is RIGHT.

We ask YOU to "look into things." Many of the progressive concerns that are now using L. B. card ledgers were, at one time, opposed to them as much, perhaps, as you are now.
