RESIDENT BUYERS
ARE TO Be CURBED
Associated Dress Industries to
Bar Those Who Order With
out Authority.

With a view TO curbing the activities
of certain interruptions resident buyers
who are said to have been placing or
ders promiscuously In the dress manu-
featuring market recently without proper
authorization from retailers they are
supposed to represent officials of the
Associated Dress Industries of America
are preparing to clean house."
Members of the trade body are being
warned by David N. Mosessohn. execu-
tive director of the organization. against
accepting orders from those buyers who
do not present proper credentials and
who are not willing to assure the man
ufacturer that the order placed with him
is bona fide one and will not be re-
jected when 1t reaches the establishment
of the retailer
According to Mr.. Mosessohn a con-
tinuation of methods practised by some
resident buyers eventually will result in
their being prevented from entering
showrooms OF reputable concerns.
I'VE certainly do mean to clean house
In the industry" says Mr.. Mosessohn,
as the trade has for too long a period
tolerated the unfair and unbusinesslike
tactics of some OF the resident buyers of
New York city. My attention has been
called to the operations of one man. for
instance. who has placed orders promis-
cuously all over the market and when
the merchandise has been shipped to
some retailers 1t has been returned

proportion to its invested capital and
wealth as computed on the basis OF per
capita money circulation and liquid pro-
perty. The years to come are bright
with promise, but the markets Of to-day
are dangerously fast. Moderation and
patience are qualities that are more vi
tally needed In Wall Street than brav-
ado and evident desire of spectators
to discount the coming years progress
In a single session."
Spencer. Trask a Co: considering
that for months the market was rela-
lively quiet and that stocks started from
lowest levels touched in years, the ra-
pid advance so far has been fully justi-
fed. But II is one thing to drive with
a free rein and another to endanger con-
troll In the desire for speed. We believe
that point is being approached where
extreme caution is necessary. with or
binary foresight, the advance can legi-
t'mately go considerably farther, but II
prudence is cast to the winds and the
public takes the bit between its teeth,
we may all too soon come to grief. and
lose n race which has all the. prospects
OF being a record breaker"
E. w. Wagner q Co.: The shares OF
representative corporations with which
we are all familiar have with few "
any exceptions the largest asset value In
their history The conviction is en-
phasized that we have several years of
intense business activity before us and
that judicious purchases of all steel, cop
per- railroad and manufacturing shares
will ultimately prove TO be exceedingly
profitable ventures We are in the midst
Of highly professional speciality market
In which one should operate cautiously.
Good standard stocks that have not been
doomed will prove to be not only the
most profitable but the safest pur-
chRses.''
Richardson. Hill & Co.: "A charac-
teristic of the 1919 bull market is the
restricted area in which the speculative
fever Is raging. The public holds ST.
0O0, 100000 worth of railroad securities.
The interest In high grade bonds Is at
low ebb Other than Liberty Loans,
transactions on the exchange In bonds
during recent sessions have averaged an
amount equivalent to but 10000 to 49,
900 shares of stock daily. Most of the
aggressive buying has been confined to
equities. 1t Is so far a highly specula-
tive market. The cautious and conserya-
tive investor who places safety first lie
as yet unable to get away from labor
unrest, Bolshevism, slack business and
foreign economic paralysis. And bust
ness Is admittedly very unsatisfactory in
many lines. There is no valid reason
for feeling that Mr. Gary and other sue
cessful men of vision have overestimated
the potential factors in the situation
which point to a great wave OF CONNER
cial prosperity during the next two or
three years. New construction contracts
signed in March were greater than in
any previous year since 1911, save 1917
1t Is the unlocking of this door which
will admit of progress all along the line.
Never before has there been such wide
spread demand for housing accommoda-
tons. Renewed building on a broad
scale should usher in a growing demand
for copper, steel and pig iron. all Of
which industries are admittedly stag
nant"

COhOes Mills Get Few Orders.

CoHoEs, May 8. - Conditions In the
local knit goods industry are said to be
the worst experienced in many years
and the outlook for the coming season
is far from bright. Labor conditions
are the controlling factor in the situa-
ton and because OF these conditions
jobbers who generally place large or
ders with the local mills have hesitated
to do so this year because OF the uncer-
tainty of receiving delivery.
With the heavy underwear mills COM
pletely tied up for almost thirteen
weeks manufacturers believe there is
little chance for booking new orders.
Only small percentage of the orders
generally on the books at this time OF
the year are on hand.

WABASH RAILWAY

Report for 1918 Shows Fall

The annual report of the Wabash
Railway Company for 1918 shows a
railing of of nearly so per cent in
net income compared with the 1917 re-
suits when the road was under private
control. While the road has not exc
cuted it's operation contract with the
Railroad Administration, $5,S67,26S was
paid to It during 1918 for compens ton
from the Government. Other income
from securities, rentals, dividends, sepa-
rately owned properties, &C., brought
the total receipts for the corporation to
s6,1So.51o against s10.S46.S9s in 1917.

Expenses chargeable to income were,
OF course, considerably smaller in 1918.
being s3,495,225 against s6,619,293 in
1917, making the net corporate income
for 1913 s2,635.2S4 against s4.227.1O5
for 1917. Virtually all of the decline in
charges was represented in more than
100000 paid in 1917 for net rent for
equipment and net rent for Joint facili-
ties, charges which were not made I'M
der Federal control. Further income
charges, including income tax on inter-
est on funded debt. corporate expenses
and railway tax accounts, totalled a
little more than 100000 After pay
ment of s53,960 for the Detroit and
chicago sinking fund, the balance trans
ferred to profit and loss surplus totalled
S2.5Sl,324 against s4.172,045 in 1917.
The road has filed with the Director
General of Railroads a claim for
$S.6Sl,301 for compensation.
William II. William president OF the
road, says in the report: I'm view OF the
receivership and the undeveloped and
abnormal conditions incidental thereto,
as well as of the improved character of
the property resulting from reorgani-
zatlon and the capital expenditures
made. II was the opinion of the direc-
tors that the company was entitled to
just compensation for the use of its
property in excess of the amount of tho
standard return, and, therefore. claim
was filed with the director-general for
annual compensation aggregating S.
6S1.301. No final determination of the
claim has yet been made"
