Chile Copper Speculative

Question-Please give me your opin-
ion regarding Chile Copper stock.
Would you consider this stock at the
present price good investment? With
$500 cash en- hand would you buy the
stock outright or on margin? What
do you think about Pennsylvania Rail
road? Don't you think this a good
stock to buy at $42?-F. F.
Answer-Chile Copper pays no divi-
dends, and whether you buy it outright
or on margin it is simply a speculation.
Pennsylvania seems attractive at pres
ent.

Manufacturing furriers last week
began to show more interest in raw
and dressed skins, with the result that
the volume Of sales by skin dealers was
increased in comparison with previous
weeks during the past month or 80.
Furs of the new catch are coming into
the market in larger quantities than
most of the dealers anticipated, and
lower price lists soon will be sent by
dealers to country shippers and trap
pers. The new skunk catch appears to
be large and of good quality Muskrat
shipments, however, are small and
dealers believe that country shippers
are holding accumulations for spccu-
lation.
Wholesale business in small pieces is
picking up as colder weather becomes
more prevalent. Recorders are coming
to manufacturers in larger quantities,
but more business would be welcome.
Furs are now moving fairly we'll in
retail stores, but nothing like a real
rush of business has materialized.
Local retailers are Offering cut prices
as business stimulants.

WOOlens

Desirable merchandise strengthened
its position during the week in the
woolcn and worstcd goods market. The
scarcity" cry has not forced buyers to
take all classes of goods. This is par
ticularly true of sivertones for
womcn's suits and coats. This fabric
in madc-up garments is moving slowly,
and apparel manufacturers are offering
accumulations to jobbers at greatly re-
duced prices. Serges and tricotines, as
we'll as other high grade worstcds, are
bringing higher prices. In the mems
wear lines there has been a stimula-
tion in the demand for overcoming
fabrics, with a consequent boost in
prices by jobbers.

of the week previous. The raw silk
market is showing fluctuations from
day to day. but on the whole the price
trend is distinctly upward. Prices now
are between SIPS and $1.5O a pound
above what they were a month ago.
Buying Of raw silks by mills was
light because of the extremely high

canary" said Vahle. "All of our best
birds formerly came from the Hartz
mountains in Germany, but now these
are unavailable and we are forced to
depend entirely on domestic canaries.
The American canaries have not
only replaced the German ones entire
ly but they have left them far behind
in the way of prices. Domestic singers
now sell for $40 and up while we sold
the German birds for SO and $4."
Next to the canaries. the biggest
trade this year has been in fancy dogs
high priced Boston terriers, aire-
dales, and bull pup, Vahle said.
THE high cost of upkeep for dogs
does not deter people from buying
them in larger numbers than ever be-
fore" he added. Our dog sales this
year have been a record. The only
falling off has been in the cheaper
varieties"
