SILKS-Soaris,g Prices
Responsible for Dulness

Skyrocketing prices in the raw silk
and finished goods market are blamed
for the dull state Of the trade at pres
ent. Raw silk yesterday advanced,
upon cables of higher prices in Japan,
to 1850 pound for Sinshiu, No. 1, and
other grades in proportion. The price
the day previous was go cents less.
Even importers believe that the present
prices are too high, but see no imme-
diate relief.
Manufacturers who are preparing
plans for their coming production Of
fall goods are forced to change their
cost figures to keep pace with the ris-
ing raw silk market. New Offering Of
goods will be delayed as long a. posi-
Bile because of this rising tendency in
raw fibres. say the large producers.
Most of the big mills are prepared to
operate conservatively and are show
ing no disposition to 20 after business
now. They are satisfied with the pres
ent dull market, they say. The only
sufferers at present, it seems, are the
great numbers Of small jobbers who
operate on the quick turnover basis
and who have laid in heavy stocks in
expectation of a new buying wave.

Misplaced Comma
In Tax Law Robs
State of Millions
1000 Corporations in Other
Commonwealths Escape
Levy 1919 Legislature
Intended Them to Paw

All because somebody put a comma
IN the wrong place in an amendment
to the corporation taxing law, adopted
Dy the 1919 Legislature, about 1000
concerns, incorporated in other states
and doing business here, escaped pay
ment Of several millions in taxes last
year: The State Tax Board Yesterday
decided to call on the foreign corpora
tions to pay the 1919 taxes, but lawyers
expressed doubt the decree could be
enforced.
~ Al! A law enacted in 1917 exempted do
mestlc manufacturing and mercantile
corporations from the local property
tax. In an effort to cover foreign con-
Germs, four amendments were drawn.
Paragraphs to be omitted were brack-
eted, but after the adoption of the
amendments it was found that in one
OF them the brackets had been lost
and the paragraph from the old law
was part Of the amended law.
AS result of this error and the
mlsplacing of comma in another
amendment, foreign corporations were
exempted from a tax which it was in
tended they should pay.
The purpose Of the law" said N.
N. Powell, an attorney at 81 Chambers
street, who as member of the Mills
Committee, drafted the statute, "has
been defeated. 1t is a good example
Of what too many amendments will do
Tor In the series of endments the
idea was lost sight Of. Also, it is a
great commentary on our legislative
craftsmanship on matters OF great
Importance. In spite of the action of
che Tax Board, it is doubtful whether
under the law foreign corporations are
SUBJECT to the tax assessment"

EWELRY-Price Of Clocks
Is ARuin Adpnnced

AN advance OF from 10 to 80 per cent
on the. price of clocks was announced
yesterday by several Of the jarcs
American clock-manufacturinr GONNA
MES. The increase of 10 per cent was
made on the cheap one-day clocks.
while the advance of 80 per cent an,
plies to the more expensive mantel
clocks. The new schedule takes effect
Immediately.
This action, according to the manu-
facturars, was made necessary by the
high cost Of materials and the large
expense incurred in breaking in new
hands at their factories, together with
the heavy costs of building homes for
their workers in Connecticut.
The manufacturers assert that they
are months behind on deliveries. Or
ders for mantel clocks received three
months ago still are untitled, while de-
liveries on alarm clocks are full year
behind schedule. One of the real rce-
sons for the piling up Of orders, ac-
cording to the manufacturers, is the
shortage Of tools. Owing to the scar
city OF first-class toolmakers, imple-
ments used in the manufacturing of
clocks are hard to obtain and factories
are compelled to make the best of the
old tools.

COTTONS-Jobbers
Undecided on Buying Policies

Jobbers of dry goods from other
cities now in the New York market ap-
parently have not decided upon definite
buying policies regarding cotton fab
RIGS. They talk much Of the possibility
that the high prices asked by mill
agents and other large distributors Of
goods for new supplies will not be
paid by the consuming public when
they are offered over the retail coun-
ters. A few of these jobbers are taking
everything they can get on which de-
livery is promised before next July.
Only few are willing to place orders
for delivery beyond that date.
Some of the leading sellers arc ad-
vising these jobbers to buy sparingly
at present, although they are not hand
ing out pessimism by any means. They
ccncede that prices are too high for
comfort. but argue that there is an
ACTUAL as shortage shortage Of goods now, prospects
months to come.

WISCONSIN SCHOOLS
PLAN HOT LUNCHES

The school hot lunch is being adj
vOcated by a number of workers
throughout Wisconsin as a solution of
underWeight among school children.
In many of the rural schools of the
state the plan has been carried out
with much success.
Many reasons have been given for
the small percentage of schools that
have carried out the hot lunch plan
lack of time for the teacher to prepare
the lunch, lack of funds from which
to provide it and lack Of cooperation
Oh the part of the parents, many of
whom feel it is a neW-fangled idea
and most unnecessary.
All of these problems are being
solved in the communities by the Red
Cross through demonstrations Of SIM
pie methods Of preparing the lunches.
With the coming of the hot school
lunch as a firmly established institu-
ton. better nourished children and bet
ter students should result.
