Portland cement Is manufactured In
California and in Kansas bnt tha Ameri
can product is not of that grade that Is
trusted In tall buildings. Oenulna Port
land cement is mined in Belgium. This
Is designated as natural cement This
cement is not reliable and la only used
when imported artificial cement la not
available. In this city the American
manufacture is little used except when
the imported cannot be obtained.
' Other materials such as fire brick and
rlra clay are also European. Firs brick
and firs day comes from Newcastle and
Scotland. A great deal nomas from ths
continent Because outer materials such
as pig Iron can be uaed to make up a
cargo ana tnese tnings are not avauaoie

' Very few times could dealers sea their
way clear to handle a ship load of firs
brick, and exclusive cargoes do not come

mined on the Islands In ths Puget sound
and Its quality depends chiefly , on ths
