A special meeting of shareholders Of
the American Woolen Company has been
called for May 25 to vote on in
creaslng the preferred and common
stocks by $20,00O,OOO EACH Under the
proposed plan holders of both classes

which at the end Of 1919 aggregated
100000. The new preferred stock
will be held in the treasury for issu-
ance later.
In commenting on the increase d.
rectors of the company said: 1--WE are
having no difficulty in borrowing money,
but prefer to make the company tinan-
cially self-sufficient. High priced woll
and big production have notched up in
ventory to the point where increased
working capital will prove a consider
able blessing. At the close of the year
the inventory was $53,000,0O0, compared
with but $37,O00,O0O the year before
and Sis,000,O00 as recently as 1915. IN
sjstence of the public on the finest
clothing, made from the high priced
fine wools, has worked against the an
ticipated reduction in inventory this

SILkS-.Suppiy Of Ra,cs
Small. Say Manufacturers

Manufacturers of silk goods who
have tried out the market for raw
silks assert that the amount of raw
fiber it is possible to buy, either here
or in the Orient, is remarkably small.
One large manufacturer is said to
have commissioned broker in the
Orient this week to buy a large guam
tity of Canton, Shanghai and Japan
raws of the highest grade. The broker
cabled a day or two ago that all he
was able to get was sixty bales of
Japanese raws.
A prominent manufacturer asserted
yesterday that the local Japanese
houses are the only ones able to oper-
ate in the Yokohama market and that
their transactions are largely in the
nature of "hedging" on the exchange.
On the spot here few transactions
in raw silks are being made. Some of
the smaller manufacturers of silks in
the New Jersey weaving district are
said to be closing their mills and cam
ceiling or rescllng their orders for
raw stock. Quantities thus released
arc small and usually are of the lower
grades, for which there is no demand.
The silk goods market is overstocked
with poor quality merchandise, and
manufacturers are determined not to
add to this supply

LEATHER-Mtrs. Cut
Price of Medium Grade Goods

A few New York manufacturers have
lowered the price of medium-gra
calfskin shoes from SO to IS cents a
pair. Footwear made up of this skim
which formerly sold for $6 to SO a
pair are now bringing $3.50 to 1925
a pair. Stocks Of these shoes on the
hands of these manufacturers are said
to have become SO large that a reduc-
tion in price was considered necessary
to stir some movement in retail buy
ing.
With the spring business now in
progress, shoe retailers are reported
to be carrying large stocks of all
kinds of footwear. Various styles of
winter hold-over shoes also are piled
high on the dealers shelves, but the
consumer does not seem to be inter-
ested in them even at reduced prices.
Sales of lowcut brogues, both for men
and women, however, have been ex-
ceptional, and retailers are of the
opinion that this style will continue
popular throughout 1920
Meanwhile shoe repairers in all sec
tions of the city report a record
breaking business. People, they say,
who formerly never thought of having
new solcs or heels put on their old
shoes are now regular visitors at their
shops.

COTTONS--Trading Dull;
Spectators Out OF Market

Firm prices in the face of dull bust
ness ruled yesterday in the finished
and unfinished or gray goods markets.
Throughout the cotton goods district
spirit of lassitudc was noticeable.
Sellers Of finished goods asserted that
jobbcrs, retailers and garment manu-
facturers were holding off expecting
lower prices, but were doomed to dis
appointment
Those close to the daily market, par
ticularly cotton goods brokers', are of
the opinion that the trade is waiting
for developments in the labor situation
in the New England mills. Many bro
kers believe that expected new wage de-
mands will! be met by the mill owners
and followed by an increase in prices.
If the workers fail to win increased
wages, according to leading broker,
prices are almost sure to decline.
Speculative holdings of goo-e have
been materially decreased in the last
two Or three months, say the brokers,
many of whom sold goods for the spec
ulators on the rising market. One
broker is understood to have quietly
"pieccd out" 100000 pieces of gray
goods without disturbing the market.

JEWELRY-Costly Mesh
Bags in Good Demand

A great demand for costly mesh bags,
match boxes, cigarette cases and vanity
cases is reported for the first time
since 1914. In response to this demand
models Of rare beauty and expert work
manship have been brought out in en-
graved clouded crystal, with clasps in
black enamel and diamonds. Boxes of
amber or tortoise she'll, inlaid with
brilliants, and boxes of onyx serving
as a background for cameo figures in
white are among the other models now
drawing considerable attention in the
buying. Mesh bags made up in gold
nrd silver with jeweled clasps are pop
ulr and good sales are reported.
The spring invasion of jewelry buy
ers in Attleboro is reported to be
greater than ever before. Buyers from
every state in America have made their
appearance, but are said to be ordering
smaller supplies for the fall of 1920
than in the corresponding period Of
the preceding year. Little business is
being transacted in the cheaper grades

A Crystal Falls gentleman touring
in Wisconsin stopped at the home OF
a farmer near Green Bay to buy some
apples which he saw hanging In a
great plenty on trees in the orchard
The farmer picked the apples and
when asked the price said that he was
offered 1-2 cents per pound from the
stores in Green Bay and IL the tour
list was willing to pay that price hC
would be satisfied. After paying the
farmer the tourist engaged him in con.
versation and asked II he proposed tc
pick the apples and cart them e
Green Bay for the price offered. The
farmer answered in the negative
said that he couldn't afford TO harvest
the crop at that price and added that
he intended to let most OF his apple;
rot in the orchard.
When the tourist arrived at Greer
Bay he was curious TO learn what
those kind OF apples were selling foi
in the stores 80 he spent some time
investigating and found that the same
kind OF apples that the farmer was
offered 1-2 cents per pound for were
being sold at Is cents per pound.

Candidate Cox got of on a tangent
last week. The League OF Nations
wasn't fruitful enough. Remember
ing the tack that Pres. Wilson took
when he set the Department OF Jus
tice at work on the senatorial cam
palgn in Michigan, he struck OF onto
finances and charged the Republicans
with trying to amass a big fund with
which to purchase the presidency" !"
To bolster up his claim he read into a
speech at Pittsburg a list OF allot-
ments. amounting to some $i5,0O0O0O.
He claimed that the list came from
republican headquarters.
The senatorial committee appointed
to investigate the primtry expendi-
lures is still in session and TO it was
referred the charges OF Candidate
Cox.
The committee took up the inyesti-
CATION during the week and II looks
now as IL Mr.. Cox's charges are going
TO be boomerang. The chairman and
secretary OF the Republican Central
Committee both testified freely and
frankly before the committee. They
showed up every penny they raised

TO raise, and the outside Of their -ex-
pectations was but s4OOO.OOO, a fair

that has placed the law upon its stat

is menace to the sheep be he licen-
sed or unlicensed. For that reason
the law provided that persons desiring
to keep dogs may do so by paying a
license and keeping the dog from run
ming at large. especially at nights.
All dogs must be kept shut up or
tied at night.
Reynolds Lists Incomplete
Mr.. Reynolds county treasurer, was
then interviewed as to the reason why
the sheriff had not been busy. He
said that he had not turned over TO
the sheriff a list of dogs upon which
license had not been paid for the rea-
son that only four supervisors had
sent in census OF dogs in their town
ships. Mr.. Reynolds added that II the
supervisors wished him to turn over

better be done. Mr.. O'Hara assured
the supervisors that campaign a.
gainst dogs would be started at once.
