"... . ucioib, .ill. iM ic. iu.-. uui; uu infta and burlap then on hand. When this stock is sold, if mora bags are needed by farmers In the Northwest they may have to pay a higher price. The following is a copy of a telegram received by the Bemia Brothers Bag Company, of Seattle, from the vice president of tha burlap department at Boa-ton: "Tho arrangements between the Food Ad ministration and the bag men for selling bsgs at 25 centa applies only to the bags and cloth bought before the arrangement waa made. The total quantity covered di rectly by the arrangement la about 24.000.- 000 bags. "The total auDPly of new bars available for the season Is estimated at 43,000.000, of which 24.000.000 covered by tho arrange ment mentioned, and tha remaining 18,000. 000 naturally cannot bo aold for more than 25 centa as long as tha arrangement bags are being offered at that price. barf ara aeumg rapidly at 25 cents, ana It becomes doubtful whether the supply is sufficient to satisfy the demand. Kecent quotations for importing addi tional bags from Calcutta, if obtainable. and if freight space obtainable were about 28 to 29 cents. At this dangerously high price there Is no inducement to the bag dealer to import further supplies, unless to rill definite orders. - . 'Owing to some arrangements for han dling grain In bulk, and to uncertainty as to what quantity of bags csn be emptied Into bulk cars and returned promptly to the fields for use again, and doubt as to quan tity of second-hand bags available, and doubt as to quantity of new and second hand bags obtainable from Minnesota. Mil waukee. Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City, St. Louis, Indianspolls, Memphis. Houston and New Orleans factories In case of need. It is difficult tJ form any reliable opinion as to whether there will ba an actual ahortage of bags or not, but It is becoming fairly well apparent that the supply of bags avail able at 25 cents will soon be exhausted, after which the price may bo expected to advance quickly to about 30 cents. The purpose 01 this telegram Is to give to the trade and the bag buyers the benefit of the best Information available in order that they may take whatever action seems advisable according to their circumstances. 'If there Is to be a shortage of bags It is highly desirable that the Information of such a shortage be developed as early as possible. The best way to develop this Information- is for bsg buyers to place orders quickly for their known requirements, there by removing from dealers' hands the sur plus stocks now unsold and preparing the way for tha dealers to procure additional supplies, if additional supplies seem to be required. "Bag buyers who do not book their orders IF We Win This will be the Last War If We Lose It will be but the beglnninpr of wars upon wars, ft holocaust with slaugh ter, famine and unspeakable horrors. The laaiie Is Plata. It la up to you. Either sacrifice now or make the supreme sacrifice later. MORRIS BROTHERS, , Inc. Established 25 Years RAILWAY EXCHANGE BUILDING PORTLAND, OREGON .
