LIBERTY BONDS ARE
APPARENTLY SAFER
BY BROADAN WALL

New York, Jan. 15.-The federal
reserve bank rate remained un-
changed today and the professionals
who had raided the stock market in
expectation Of an advance were
forced to cover. The advance re-
sulting from this covering movement
!. was ~ sharp a. some Of the recent
breaks. nc y :
In the midst of this short covering
there was also some very good buyA
ing for long account. Many inycs4
tors had hesitated to buy because
they distrusted the loyalty OF the
federal reserve board. That board
demonstrated it's loyalty by refusing
to make further assault on ee-
purity markets.
The fact that the reserve board
seems ct last to realize its respon-
,sihility for the financial markets II
makes # possible to consider tho
stock market seriously for the first
time since November. It IL unfor-

Answer-The proceeds of the new
issue Of Ohio Cities Gas Company pre-
ferred stock is to be used mainly to
pay for the purchase of a substantial
amount of Oklahoma Producing and Re-
fnIng Corporation stock. 1t is expected
that this acquisition will materially in

pany 1t remains 10 be seen whether
or not these expectations will be re-
allied. We do not believe that the
issuance Of this stock will have any ap-
preciable effect upon the outstanding
common shares, as the company is
good Garner and its prospects for 1920
are very encouraging. The per cent
preferred stock, however, appears to
have one feature which should not be
overlooked. 1t is convertible between
July 1, 1920, and July l, 1923, into COM
mon stock on the basis of two shares of
common for one of preferred This
gives the preferred stock a rather IA
vorable speculative investment posi-
tlon, in our opinion.

Answer-In the event of financial
panic it is not possible to forecast
what would happen. panic means the
losing of heads. No doubt if such a
thing should occur you would find Sc
curities of all sorts thrown over, re-
gardless of price. In 1907 securities
sold at prices which represented losses
Of so per cent in many cases. This did
not mean that these securities ceased

probably refer to is business depres-
sion. Panics come as rule without
much warning. Your securities appear
to be well enough secured. We see no
present reason for you to worry over
them.

C!.!OTTONS--Erports {!
To Cuba Large

Cuban jobbers and retailers are
placing substantial orders for cotton
goods of various grades in this mar
ket, despite the high prices. Much of
the goods arc Of q heavy, coarse va
r1ety, such as cottonade, drill, denim,
etc. in dark colors, suitable for mems
outer clothing in a warm climate The
general prosperity in Cuba is enabling
the merchants to handle better class
OF fabrics for the rural trade than
ever before, according to cotton Job
bers and convertcrs now developing
the Cuban market.
The continued dulness of the do
mestlc market in cotton goods is be-
ginning to worry some of the convert
ers. This, In combination with the
vast amount of capital tied up in
goods IN transit, is ,exerting financial
pressure on some of the weaker mem
bers of the trade, and throughout the
market 1t is felt that liquidation will
changes materially within the next
two or three weeks
Second hand holders of gray or un-
finished goods are understood to be
more eager to liquidate some of their
holdings, and offerings of unfinished ID
goods by convorters is becoming more
prevalent in the market. Gray goods,
az class, are easier in price. Bids
of "a IL cents a yard for spot $3.50
3812-fnch print cloths are now con-
sidercd, where early last week the
asking price was 25l2 cents at a min
lmum A few mills are said to be en-
tertaining lower bids from buyers of
gray goods.

Motor Industry Seeks to
Check Discrimination

Leading factors in the automotive In
dustry are taking steps to counteract
discrimination against the industry by
those who hold that its products arc
luxuries and non-essentials. 1t de-
veloped yesterday that conferences are
being held to map out a broad cam
paign for the purpose of proving that
the automobile is an economic utility
These efforts were disclosed yester-
day in connection with reports that the
Federal Reserve regional banks at
Kansas City and Richmond were dis
inclined to look with favor on automo-
bile paper in connection with redis-
counts for member banks Al Reeves
general manager of the National Auto
mobile Chamber Of Commerce, in re-
ply to an inquiry received a telegram
from J. z. Miller, governor Of the
Kansas City Reserve Bank. denying
that specific action had been taken
against automobile paper.
The Federal Reserve Bank at Kan
sas City," according to the message,
quest member banks to discontinue
loans or to call loans made to
the automobile industry. Our execu-
tive committee is, however. scru-
tinizing very closely all paper pre-
sented for rediscount and is. accepting
only such as seems desirable at this
time. 1t is not practicable to enumer-
ate the classes defined as undes rabIe,
since we have been scrutinizing paper
Of every class, in some Instances agri-
cultural and commercial paper as we'll
as automobile and jewelry"
Automotive interests are planning to
meet also reported move on the part
OF railroad officials to get steel COM
panies to favor the railroads as against

Middle West Stores Plan
To Reduce Big Stocks

Liquidation of their stocks is being
planned by many Of the largest dry
goods jobbers in St. Louis, Chicago
and st. Paul, according to the vice
president Of a textile manufacturing
concern who has just returned from a
trip to the Middle West.
"The jobbers throughout the Middle
West he said yesterday, "are not in,
terested in new goods, even at reduced
prices. They all told me that their
chief object at present is to get rid
of some Of their stocks on hand Most
of them are carrying from 100000 to
81 100000 more merchandise than
usual. While the volume in units is
no greater than, and in many cases is
not as large as, formerly, the financial
burden of carrying these stocks is
great.
"One man who is carrying a stock Of
merchandise 100000 above normal
told me that with money at per cent
he finds the charge of $4,000 a year
too great to swing this surplus. He
plans to trim his stock down by $780,
900, and possibly more. The same story
was told me wherever l went. There
is no doubt that the financial situation,
coupled with the dull trade brought
about by economy campaigns and ac-
tual resistance to high prices, is bring
ing. about liquidation and dehation in
textile lines"
New-York tribune., 1920-05-11
Merely Keeping in Line

Ouestion-About two years ago I bought
100 shares OF American Telephone and
and have noticed that the stock has been
declining steadily. Can you tell me any
reason why this high grade stock should
run OFF that way? l have always con-
investment and that II was not to bs
classed as a speculative stock.-T. 3. T.
Answer-All forms of investment
have declined in price. When Liberty
bonds in period of few months sell
down Is per cent there should be no
wonder why American Telephone and
Telegraph stock declines also. Invest
ments are on an entirely different basis
to-day. Money is high, living costs are
at the zenith, and the investor there
fore demands a greater return on his
securities. The American Telephone
Company, the largest organization Of
its kind in the world, has shown rather
consistent earnings, the average for
several years being approximately 10
per cent. Dividends of per cent are
paid. While this margin is not great,
consideration should be given to the
fact that the earnings of such cor
poration do not vary great deal from
one year TO another. The company has
done considerable financing of late.
thus increasing it's fixed charges. At
present prices the stock yields ga per
cent. Under existing circum stances
such security should show this much
return, in our opinion. The yield is
about the same as on Union Pacific
common stock Yet the latter's earn
ings are far better than those of Ameri-
can Telephone and have been so for
many ysAra.

EWELRY-Nouelty Goods
In Strong Demand

The slowing up Of trade noticed in
many commodities, chiefly textiles and
shoes, has not affected novelty jewclry
so far. The fashion for real pearls
has stimulated the demand for i1nita-
ton pearls, particularly in necklaces.
Manufacturers report that the demand
for those is still strong. Deliveries
are better than they were some time
ago. and shipments can now be prom
ised buyers in from two to four weeks
after the order is placed.
Ivory articles also are moving briskly,
as are jet necklaces, beads and small
pieces: The vogue for glazed materials
in millinery has stimulated the demand
for shiny jet, manufacturers assert.
Ivory silhouette sautoirs, suspended on
ribbon, are among the ivory novelties
that are selling we'll at present. Com
position and chain belts, along with
necklaces and sautoirs, also show no
signs of letting down in demand.

New Process To Be Used
To Make ssTvorv'' Articles

Non-inhammable celluloid soon will
make its appearance in q great num-
Der Of so-calied "ivory" toilet articles,
through the use of synthetic camphor.
1t is announced that E. !. du Pont de
Nemours e. Co. have made substantial
progress in producing synthetic cam
phor and shortly will offer it in the
market. The high price of camphor
during and since the war has stimulat-
ed research work in producing this
chemical by synthetic processes.
Camphor enters largely into Partisan
ivory, French ivory, pyralin, English
ivory, fberloid and the many varieties
of imitation shell goods
New-York tribune., 1920-05-11
LEATHER-Tanners
Report Dull Business

Dullness continues to prevail in the
leather market. Tanners report only
slight demand for even the high grade
feathers, while the poorer grades are
not moving at all. Some Of the Brook
lyn shoe manufacturers are buying
small quantities for immed date use
Typical orders run around eighty feet
of each of certain grade.
The tanners are watching develop
ments closely in order to formulate
buying policies when they go into the
market for their summer hides around
the latter part Of this month. Several
tanners asserted that the market on
high grade skins will have to come
down if the present slight demand for
leather continues.
Prices for high grade feathers are
being firmly held, while reductions
have been made in the heavier and
cheaper grades, without stimulating
any activity. The bag trade is show
ing no more activity in the present
market than the shoe manufacturing
industry, according to most tanners.
