NATION MILK
AVERAGE IS LOW

For many years this country has
contained thousands of the finest
specimens of livestock in the world,
but in spite of that fact the quality
and productive capacity OF the aver
age farm herd and flock is still low.
For instance, the average dairy COW
in the United States yields about 1000
pounds of milk a year, a figure
scarcely two-thirds the average pro
duction in some European countries,
such rs Denmark. Tie United States
has thousands Of cows which have
milk yields of more than $4,000
plunds-double the Danish average
out on the other hand it has hun
jleds of thousands which are kept
for milk and yet yield only a small
Traction as much product as the best
COWS, though receiving nearly as much
feed and care.
The difference III milk yield is due
N large measure to a difference in
breeding, hut a herd of low produc-
ton can be improved rapidly by the
use of a pure-bred sire from fam
lily of high producers.

JEWELRY-SoutK america
Buys Cheap Je.CeLry Here

Manufacturers Of jewelrv report that
they have developed a good business
with South American concerns. One
prominent export company's repre-
sentative here declared yesterday that
jewelry dealers in Brazil had shown a
particularly active interest in cheap
or novelty jewelry, and that within the
last few days a shipment of 100000
worth had been forwarded This is the
fourth 100000 shipment to Brazil in
the last three months.
The Brazilians are making heavy
purchases of cheap beaded handbags,
imitation white gold rings and beaded
necklaces. This is business that be-
fore the war was controlled by German
concerns, which shipped large quanti-
ties of novelty jewelry into the South
American countries. According to late
reports from these countries, the Ger
mans are trying to regain this trade
by underselling the American compa-
nies, but to date are reported to have
had but little success.
Although manufacturers of high
priced jewelry and silverware are still
far behind on their domestic orders,
they are working on goods to be ex-
ported to South. America. Their rep
resentatives assert that this is abso-
lutely necessary if American merchants
hope to compete with the Germans.
Several of the large local exporters of
jewelry have sent representatives to
the chief centers of South America to
obtain orders for 1920.

LEATHER-Shpmenis Of
Sheep and Goat Skins Reduced

Several heavy consignments of sheep
skins and goatskins have been received
from South American and South Afri-
can ports within the last few days by
local importers. AS there has been an
alarming shortage Of these skins for
some time, the new arrivals will help
only slightly to alleviate the scarcity.
All available stocks in this country
and those en- route from the primary
markets are reported to have been
bought by American tanners. Just as
soon as these skins reach this country
they will be shipped to the tanneries
for conversion into leather.
The market continues firm, and i'm
porters look for improvement in prices
and trade conditions shortly after the
holidays. Within the last week 1000
bales of sheepskins and 750 bales of
goatskins have been received from
Cape Town, while from other sources
American importers have obtained 500
bales of goatskins. Betting butts are
in good demand, with dealers asking
$1.08 for twenty to twentyfour pounds.
Although the coal situation has forced
many tanneries to close down, some
supplies are coming into the market
and are being held at steady quota
tons

COTTONS-Sale Of Spring
Merchandise already Started

Retailers who are running short of
cotton goods are asking for quick de-
livery of spring orders and are putting
this merchandise on as fast as it is
received. According to a prominent
converter fifty per cent Of his custom
ers among the retail stores have asked
for advance delivery Of spring mer-
chandise. Retailers tell him that
women are anticipating further rises
in cotton materials and are buying
now for their spring and summer needs.
Many low grades of cotton goods
have been discontinued by the mills
because Of the falling off in demand
for low qualities, and also sbccause of
the difficulties that hamper the guam
tity production of goods. Mill owners
say that production is so slow that it
no longer pays to turn out low grade
fabrics, the profit on which came
largely through the great quantities
that were produced. Accordingly they
have concentrated on the better grades
where profit per yard is greater.

SILKS-Deliuery Of
Japanese Goods DELAYED

Japanese silk goods ordered to reach
this market in September for distribu-
tion to the retail trade in time for the
holiday selling season in many cases
are delayed in delivery and will not
arrive before February or March In
formation from japan indicates that
later deliveries will rule from now on
1t appears that the Japanese workman
in the silk and other industries has
initiated the striking proclivities of his
European and American brothers. Two
years ago strikes were unknown in
Japan. Now they are frequent. Jap
anese silk weavers are asking and OBJ
tanning higher wages, with the result
that the cost Of Japanese-made goods
Is increasing.
Several of the leading silk firms in
this country have sent designs to Japan
to be copied there, so that much of
the new Japanese silks coming through
has an American rather than an Ori-
signs are being printed on Japanese
habutai silks and sold here as foulards.
In some quarters Of the silk market
yesterday it was intimated that the
Department of Justice will be asked
to investigate the raw silk market to
determine the amount of the fibre be-
ing held here by importers or specu-
lators. Unprecedented high prices for
raw silk have led to vague rumors of
tremendous accumulations of the prod
uct here. Imports of raw silk into this
country for the first ten months of
the year, according to government
statistics, were slightly more than &c.
100000 pounds. For the similar period
in 1918 they were about 27,O0O,OOO
pounds, and for 1917 3O,O00,0O0 pounds.
Upon the face OF these figures, the
rumors Of accumulations of 100000
bales, close to 140,O00,000 pounds, ap-
pear ridiculous. Importers and silk
manufacturers declare that the rise in
the market value of the raw silk with

B. & o. Has Large
ssPotential'' Balance
Amount Due From Government
Is Estimated at $22 600, 900;
Short Obligations Funded

After providing for January inter
est payments and settling up its
accounts with the railroad administra-
tion the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
upon its return to private control will
have potential working balance of
about $22,0oo,000, according to a state
ment made yesterday by George NJ.
Shriver, vice-president. In arriving
at this estimate Mr.. Shriver said
that the matter of accounts be-
tween the government and the COM
pany had progressed to the extent that
the situation on the first day Of 1920
could be approximated with reason
able accuracy. His statement said:
"After providing for January
interest payments there will be due
to the company on account of open
accounts and compensation under Che
Federal contract balance Of about
S7,000,000 and on account of materials
turned over to the government approx
imately $15,0O0.Oo0. or total working
balance of about $22,000,000. The
railroad administration has expended
upon the property during the two
years about $22 100000, on account of
which the company has made payment,
or is entitled to credits, account of
accrued depreciation, retired property,
etc, aggregating approximately $12,-
100000, leaving balance due the gov
ernment on this account of about
$10,000,000. In addition, the company
has accepted equipment to the amount
OF $17,O00,OO0 which is to be covered
by equipment trusts running for q
period of fifteen years.
with it's recent issue of $35,000000
ten-year secured bonds, the company
funded all its short-time obligations
which had been issued from time to
time for capital investments, and has
now no obligations other than the
balance due the government.
