haps the simplest and is par.
ticularly successful when the

is to pin the sheet Of paper and the

sharp pencil trace the design on the
fabric or else lay the material on the
pattern on top Of a table or other
hard surface, and carefully trace the

Frisco Case Similar
To Many Preceding
If WInchell Is Ousted as Receiver IT
Will Not Be First Instance
of kiia.

NEW YORK. June 2S.---If B. f.
Winchell should resign as one of the
Frisco receivers it will not be the
first time that the president OF a
railroad has met with su,I an expe-
rience.
In January of 1898, the Philadel-
phia & Reading Railroad, supposed
~ in a sound financial condition,
sold a block of $5,000,000 bonds
without any difficulty, and on Feb
ruary ! the company distributed its
regular $4,000, 600 dividend On Feb
ruary 20, or three weeks later, A. A.
Mcleod, president of the company,
was appointed receiver, after hav-
ing confessed to the court that an
unwieldy floating debt had been
incurred.
In reply to that announcement the
surprised bondholders appointed an
committee which re-
suited in the discovery that the
company was a hopeless bankrupt,
because of the reckless policy which
had been pursued by it's president.
Mcleod, it was found, had not only
secured control of the Jersey Cen
trail, the Lehigh Valley. and several
coal companies, and vast coal land
holdings in the anthracite district,
but he had bought up the Pough
keepsie bridge and acquired control
of the New England the Boston &
Maine, and several smaller New
England railroads on a margin. As
a result of these disclosures Mcleod
resigned as president and receiver.
He was succeeded by Joseph J. Har
ris, representing the bondholders.

MEMPHIS. June 2S.-An under
sized plant continues the chief COM
plant from the cotton fields. To off
set this there is almost unequaled
cultivation, stands that, as a rule, are
satisfactory and, except for the pres
ence of the weevil in some sections, an
absence of pests. The hardness OF
the crop ruling over the larger por-
ton of the belt, and amounting to
from one to two weeks. is expressed
in the initial statement of condition,
and until it is overcome there seems
likelihood of concern over the yield
proving sufficient to fill the promised
requirements.
1t is admitted that so far the late
start is not serious enough to prove
an insurmountable barrier to a very
large crop, but each week il exists
will increase the probabilities of 1t
proving one. 1t is generally felt that
the excellent cultivation, reports from
everywhere saying the fields are as
clean as a garden and the soil in fine
filth, decreases the danger of drouth
injury and has resulted in develop
ment of good tap root, but the time
is near when soaking rains will be
necessary. There have been COM
plants already of suffering because
they are lacking and they will in
crease until they are forthcoming
During the past week or so some
showers have been received in scat
tered sections, partially relieving
needs, but prospects of overcoming
the crops handicaps as yet are none
too good. Things are in first class
shape to make quick response to a
plentiful supply of moisture. but
without it in the course of a week or
two there will probably be some re-
vision of ideas as to yield.
Make War on WeeViIs.
The effort to minimize the ravages
Of the boil weevil in the affected ter

definite idea can be obtained as to
the probable extent of their work, for

Va. Carolina Common
To Pay No Dividend
Fertilizer Company Suffers From
Dull Times In Its Cotton
OIL Department.

1t is accepted as pretty we'll deter
mined that Virginia Carolina Chem
ical will pass the per cent dividend
on its $27,984, 900 common stock.
During the 1911 apd 1912 years the
company maintained the 3 per cent
dividend although in neither year
was the balance above the preferred
sufficient to make a common dividend
entirely conservative. In 1911 the
company earned 311 per cent. for
it's common. and in 1912 3.1S per cent,
10 that in paying per cent it was
practically distributing its entire bal
ance of profits to stockholders.
Had earnings come back strong
this year with a showing of 8 per
cent to 10 per cent for the common.
continuance of the per cent rate
would probably have been assured
But the fiscal year Is banning out
indifferently. The company will in
fact hardly earn even per cent on
its common. There has been some
recovery I'm fertilizer net this year
but z considerable recession IN prof
Its from the cotton oil department
Taking the business as whole profits
will fall somewhat below the 1912
total Of $3.557,452.
Tonnage of fertilizers has done
very well this year. The gain in ton
mage moved will vary between per
cent and IT, per cent over 1912 show
ing, putting the aggregate back close
to the 1911 record. But there has
not been nearly the net money in
fertilizer sales that existed three or
four years ago and for reasons for
which the Virginia Carolina Chemi.
cal Is not at all to blame.
There have been rumors in New
York that Virginia Carolina had d
big bulk of bad debts which It must
charge off it's books and that 1t was
the existence of some such secret &C
count that was causing the antics
OF the stocks in the market This
Is denied.
AS a matter of fact the company
regularly sets up a certain percentage
OF gross as reserve for bad debts and
1t has rarely ever been obliged to
use this entire years set up for that
purpose. For the last 10 years bad
debts have averaged less than l per
cent per annum. which is creditable,
considering the long credits which
are given in the fertilizer industry.

UNDERSIZED PLANT
CAUSES COMPLAINT
Soaking Rains Needed to Hasten Growth Before
Fruiting Season Begins Spots Firm.

usual time, although that is not al
ways a safe index to the advance
ment of the crop. 1t is argued by
close students of the crop situation
that if the plant does not soon attain
Its proper size for this time of the
season there will be less likelihood of
fruiting sufficiently heavy to afford
promise of a heavy yield.
Expects Bullish Report.
The Governments bureau condition
report that is to be issued July 3 con-
Jointly with the acreage estimate is
being discussed, and private estimates
are already being received. The
failure of the plant to attain its nor
NAL size during the past few weeks
has caused some revision Of eXpeCta-
tons, but the presumption is that
the report will come a point or two,
perhaps more, over the June report
of 1911. The acreage figures are ex-
pected to show a gain of around 8
per cent over last years final figures.
Wednesday of the past week was the
final day to be included in the report,
and to that time there had been no
soaking rains in the sections most
needing them.
The spot situation continues steady
and the tendency of prices has been
to a higher level. The speculative
spot situation, reflected chiefly
through the July position in New
York, has remained in the control of
the bulls, and stock in that center has
been only slightly increased over the
minimum. Quotations for spots in
the belt have been advanced until
middling ranges from II cents to 1928
Business has not been large, but this
is due as much to paucity of Offering
as to anything else.
Spinners Buy Steadily.
Movement has been moderate, but
at ports ahead Of a year ago at this
time, indicating that exports will, for
a while at least, run larger There
continues evidence of large consump-
ton and one source of strength in the
contract market has been the quiet
absorption of offerings by spinners
against their needs of the actual in
the fall
1t vet remains to be proven that
the early movement will be heavy,
which adds to the. uncertainty of the
spinners' position In the meantime
the world is coming to the opinion
that if the coming crop is not 15,000,-
600 or more bales, some very high
prices will be witnessed.
