The distribution of stores of the value of 01 in the home market has been accomplished at a cost of less than 2 per cent. Upon their valuation. Adding the cost of transportation to the value of the stores, and the cost of distribution would be 1% per cent. Of that value. Giving the stores distributed their cash value at the water bases of the ar mies supplied, and the cost of distribution would be 13 per cent. Of their value; and the whole expense account of the Supply Department would equal less than 3 per cent. Of such valuation.
