TARIFF AND QLASS MARKET. The tarifif bill that is becoming law this week reduces the duty on green- house glass 70 cents per box of fifty feet. Under the old law the duty has been 1% cents per pound and under the new law it is cut to 1 cent per pound. In the administration of the law dou- ble-thick glass such as is used in green- houses is figured at eighty pounds, net, per box of fifty square feet. The duty therefore has been $ per box and will hereafter be 80 cents. In spite of the gloomy predictions which have been indulged in by leading members of the glass trade, it now ap- pears that they are taking a new point of view. Kepresentatives of the glass industry told members of Congress dur- ing the discussion of the tariff that the reduction would be absolutely disas- trous, and it was testified by them dur- ing the lobby in-quiry that they had paid $17,500 to a New York lawyer to have him work against the proposed revision of the schedule. Nevertheless, the trade in window glass is now ex- tremely optimistic and is indicating this optimism in a variety of ways. As to window glass prospects, letters re- cently sent out by the Johnston Brok- erage Co., of Pittsburgh, a concern which represents the joint interests of the hand manufacturers, to members of the trade show what the feeling is. A recent letter reads in part as follows: About forty per cent more glass was sold by hand factories in July. 1913, than in the same month in 1912. August sales will equal, if not exceed, those of July. Popular sizes are becom- ing scarce. "A" quality, single and double, like- wise. Up to this time there has been no change in price, and there is every reason to think that discounts will be advanced on popular sizes
