This figure, it is further pointed reduction in out, represents stocks by about 50,000 barrels from the most pessimistic estimate made by the Cement Association three months ago of Augush stocks.

Improving Prospects.

It is admitted; at the same time, however, that stocks of clinker have gained by some 60,000 barrels, but!

seem of inost market observers opinion that the worst in cement conditions has now been passed. Lany manufacturers figure that the three months period ending on November 20 will see an aggregate production of 5,400,000 barrels or 1,800,000 barrels a month which, with the August-end together stocks of 1,450,000 barrels, would make 6,830,000 barrels available. To offset this supply, cement mak ers estimate, the three months" period will require 6,000,000 bar vels in consumption, to reduce stack surplus at the end of Noyem- for this year to the modest figure vf. 850,000 barrels.

NEW OLYMPIAN

The building of The Milwaukee Road thru this rugged mountain range was a notable engineering feat. From many points on the climb won- derful bird's eyes give vivid impressions of the difficulties which they overcame. "Going over the hill"" in the days of steam was a task indeed, who but the electric locomotive makes easy work of it--and gives you use the new Olympian a comfort and a pleasure in mountain scenery, hitherto unknown on railway journeys.

Roller bearings add to the riding ease of this train-all the way from Seattle to Chicago. No other transcontinental train is so equipped. Rector's delightful dishes are served in the dining car-another exclu- sively Milwaukee feature.

The observation car contains many conveniences that add to your en- joyment-lounge rooms, library, buffet, radio, valet, maid.
