Small Stocks of Mems
Underwear for Fall Trade

While mems balbriggan underwear
for use the coming spring season is in
fair demand, prompt shipments always
being requested when orders are
placed, buying of fall goods is still in
allegiance. The mills are not forcing
business in fall goods, most of them
being closed. Stocks in the hands of
manufacturers are said to be the small
est ever held at this period of the sea-
son, when buying for fall under normal
conditions would be in full swing
Manufacturers assert that the longer
buyers hold off the greater will be the
rush for goods when demand actually
does set in. Developments in that re-
spect are expected within the next
fortnight. Four months ago the mills
should have started making goods for
delivery during the fall Of 1919, but
instead work since November of last
year has been suspended. AS a result
millmen will not listen to suggestions
that prices be reduced. 1t is estimated
that the average mill in the United
States, when in full operation, turns
out 1000 dozen suits of mems cotton
underwear every working day of the
year.

Oil Production Drops
More Wells Completed in Feb
ruary but Flow Is Less

While the operations in the oil fields
Of the United States during February
showed large increase in the number
of wells completed, there was smaller
production than in January, according
to the "Oil City Derrick" There was
an increase of 246 completions COM
pared with January, and decrease of
8,64S barrels in the new production
obtained. In addition to this there
were also fifteen moro dry holes than
in the previous month.
Three states-Oklahoma Kansas and
Kentucky-were responsible for the
large increase in compilations, but every
division reported some additions, with
the exception of Lima. Central Ohio,
Kentucky. Indiana, Illinois, Kansas and
Wyoming were states which showed the
increased production. At the close of
the month there was a small decrease
shown in the new work in the fields
reported. The loss in rigs was thirteen
and in the wells drilling 140, net de-
crease Of 1853. The only division which
reported large increase in new work
was Kentucky, and the other showed
small declines or only slight changes.

Many Questions Asked
At Baldwin Meeting
Stockholders Display Unusual
Interest in Company's Affairs
at Annual Gathering

PHILADELPHIA, March 6.-Stock-
holders of the Baldwin Locomotive
Works asked some pertinent questions
at the unusually exciting annual meet
ing to-day about the management's
dividend policy, and motion to cut in
half the salaries of all officials was
defeated by only thrce votes.
The motion was offered by Frank
Lutz, Of Baltimore, holder of common
stock of the company, who made num-
erous objections to the management
of the property. lie had the support
Of six stockholders, but was opposed
by ten others. Among other things
Mr.. Lutz asked that all the Baldwin
subsidiaries be consolidated with the
parent concern, and when it was ex-
planned by the counsel that this was
being considered, he moved that the
board of directors elected at the meet
ing be empowered to take this step.
The motion was adopted
After the annual report had been
adopted Mr.. Lutz asked why no divi-
dends have been paid on the common
stock in 1918. Alba Johnson, presi-
dent of the company, replied that the
report explained this. "You earned
the money. didn't you?" retcrted Lutz;
to which Mr.. Johnson replied that the
that rests in the discretion of the
directors. Later on, when the president
told the stockholders that the com
pany had plan to pension its old and
faithful employees, Mr.. Lutz said he
had no objection to the plan, but sug-
gested that the common stockholders
should get dividends first. The pen
sion plan was adopted.
Charles A. Morse, of the New York
Stock Exchange firm of Clark, Childs
& Co., requested and was granted an
appointment with the proper author
ity Of the company to go over the an
nual statement and balance sheet of
the company relative to certain fea-
lures, which he said he did not think
it proper to discuss during the meet
ing.
The fact was developed during the
meeting that when the big munition
plant Of the Baldwin at Eddystone is
hquidated it will show profit of
$271 ,913.
