Sees Chance in B. R. T. Certificates

Question--What is the position of the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit? Do you think the
company will get back on its feet again, or
will it go to the wall? A few years back it
sold up to $8S or so a share. Is there any
chance of it ever going back to anything
near that price? Also. what are these cer-
tificates that are sold on the exchange Mt about
Sill? Just what do they mean by them, and
what is their relation to the stock that they
represent? If the company comes out of
the recevershp. what will the holders of the
certificates do with them? Have they any
real worth standing? Am asking these
questions because I am thinking of buying
200 of them and holding them for long
pull. Am willing to take the chance for the
big profit they would show if the fractions
are granted an eight-cent farce. F. P.
Answer-That Brooklyn Rapid Tran
sit has passed through the worst of its
troubles seems possible.- If so, present
prices for its stocks and bonds may
have discounted the situation to large
extent. Even the possibility of an as
sessment on the stock appears to have
been reckoned with. The certificates
you refer to represent stock deposited
with a committee. This stock is sub
ject to whatever plan the committee
may desire to enter into. The stock
undeposited is free. For that reason
it sells higher. The certificate holders
will have all the protection which the
committee is able to secure

Silks

The process of squeezing out the in
hation in silks continued last week.
Until most of the surplus of inferior
grade goods is cleared from the mar
ket, trade leaders believe that defation
must go on. Retailers stocks are low,
according to reports from all quarters
Of the country, and consumers are buy
ing silks over the counter in liberal
quantity. 1t is pointed out. however,
that present retail prices do not re-
fleet the high point reached in whole
sale circles early in the year. Re-
tailers are still receiving goods on
orders placed at old prices that were
low in comparison to even present
prices.
Big buying by the retailers, jobbers
and garment manufacturers has not
set in. Whether it will come with
rush, or will develop SLOWLY and con-
tinue in small lots at frequent inter-
walls is still an open question.
Raw silks started to decline the
middle of the week upon advices of
break in the Yokohama market, re-
ported to have resulted from the Japan
ese political situation. Upon the de-
cline buying, which had assumed more
active proportions, slackened. Quo
tations by importers and dealers varied
considerably, but in some quarters
$3.50 a pound was quoted for Sinshiu
No. and $685. for Kansia double
extra cracks, decline of so cents a
pound from the weeks opening prices.
New-York tribune., 1920-04-12
COttOns

Advances of two cents a yard. in
prints and percales were made by lead
ing producers in the new price lists
issued early last week. The increase
is in comparison with price lists put
out last December, and brings the new
prices below the level at which some
goods were sold in the open market in
January.
Stiffened by the action of leading
mills. the smaller mills and merchants
in the cotton goods trade are taking
firmer stand on prices than was ap-
parent a few weeks ago. Finished
goods prices, even for merchandise to
be delivered in the latter quarter of
the year or the first of next, do not re-
fleet present quotations in the gray
goods market, which has advanced to
basis of 26 cents and in some cases a
quarter cent more for the standard
64-60, 5.35 yard, 38 " h-inch print cloths.
Leading converters hold that prices
will be fairly stable for some time to
come. Many Of them assert that be-
portation delays goods will remain
scarce and high for the next six
months, and that the supply will be in
adequato to meet the demand, even
though the latter be scaled down from
normal proportions because of the ad-
vanced prices.
Retailers and jobbers are buying new
goods sparingly. Stocks are low
throughout the country, but the dis
tributers are firm in their intentions to
operate conservatively. On the spot
considerable demand exists for dotted
Swisses and other sheer fabrics used
for women's summer frocks. The
shirting trade is buying fair quantities
of high-class yarn, dyed or printed
madrases. Ginghams are scarce. I'm
portations Of British voiles and ginR-
hams arc arriving in large quantities,
but most Of them were bought months
ago at prices below the market as it
now obtains abroad.

The issue is guaranteed both principal
and interest by the Southern Pacific
Company by Endorsement. The bonds
are secured by first mortgage on 723
miles in Texas. The road is not very
good Garner and the bonds sell where
they do largely because of the guaran-
ty. The following bonds, while not of
the highest grade, are first mortgages
and are, in our opinion, fairly good in

Mdridnna Gun Club
 Thankful to People

The people of Marianna can al- ways be depended upon to do the handsome thing by visitors. This was especially true last week when we had as our guests about seventy five men and women who were here to take part in the first annual trap tournament held under the auspices of the Marianna Gun Club. These visitors were exceptionally high class people-true sportsmen and elegant ladies. They expressed themselves as delighted with the courtesies. attention and considera- tion shown them. Many of them were entertained in private homes and they were charmed with the hospitality they received. The of ficers and members of the Marianna Gun Club feel like the people of Marianna are due a formal expres- sion of thanks for the interest they manifested in the tournament and for the splendid treatment they ex- tended to the visitors, and we want this notice to be an acknowledge ment of our sincere thanks for these kindnesses.

ReU. ". c. Boone To
 Preach Here Sunday

Rev. w. c. Boone, former pastor of the Baptist church in Marianna, now pastor of the First Baptist church Owensboro, Ky, is spending the week here visiting friends and
 incidentally doing some fishing in the lakes tributary to Marianna. He is spending few days at the club house on Ralph Bayou as the guest of Dr. W. A. Thornton, Lee Nixon and Arthur Cotter. Upon the insistence of many friends here he has agreed to remain over Sunday and preach at the Baptist church. In view of the fact that several of the pastors are taking their annual vacation it is hoped a capacity au- dience will go to the Baptist church Sunday to hear MT. Boone. He is one of the ablest ministers who ever served here-thoroughly con secrated and devoted to his work. The people of Marianna hold him in very high esteem, both as a minister and as a citizen.

MARIANNA BEATS
 FRIARS POINT
LOCALS WIN SNAPPY GAME BY SCORE OF 3 TO 1-ELBER- FIELD PITCHED SUPERB BALL AND WAS BACKED BY BRIL- LIANT SUPPORT.

In one of the most beautiful exhi- bitions of the national pastime stag ed on the local lot this season, Ma rianna trimmed the fast Friars Point, Mississippi aggregation of ball tossers to the tune of 3 to 1 last Thursday afternoon. The spec tators enjoyed missing the usual amount of squabbling that has been taking place lately and the snappy brand of ball put up by both teams made the game last only one hour and thirty five minutes.
 Elberfield added another we'll pitched game to his string of wins, his opponents hitting safely seven times, only two of which were bunch ed and gave them their only tal- ly. Marianna secured six safe blows but put three of them in the same frame and thereby brought home the bacon. Only superb fielding on the part of the visitors at criti- cal moments kept down Marianha' s total of hits. Turner in center field, robbed Harrington of sure two-bagger. Hardin was also the victim of a nice catch by the op- posing right gardener. Three mis- cues were charged up to Friars Point but none of them figured in the scoring. Notwithstanding the rough field, the locals played an errorless game, Lloyd saving himself on one occasion by picking up the ball af- ter dropping it and throwing out a runner who got too frisky. Der rick at second handled six chances in faultless fashion, some of which were exceedingly difficult.
 MT. Veazey, who twirled the first four frames for the opposition, was regular Babe" Ruth at the bat, annexing two and q three-sacker. The latter was blow over the gard en wall but he tried to stretch it for four bases and died easy at the plate. Burke, otherwise known as "Pinky," who did stunts in left and who is also a pitcher by trade, du- plicated Veazy's record at the bat, except that when he hit for three bases he waited and scored the wis., ltor's only counter on Sanders sim gle. This happened in the seventh stanza.
 For Marianna Harrington started off the fourth round with a wicked belt to deep left center. The old apple was headed for the road and Cliff was headed for third when Turner came tearing over like an airplane and leaving the ground in the same manner, made a terrific leap and shared the pill for one of the most nifty catches of the fra cas. McLendon then lined one to center safely and was followed by Gray with a two-base blow down the right field line. With the sec ond and third cushions occupied. Lloyd rose to the occasion with nice pinch blow to center and the bell rang twice. Lloyd attempted to take second on the throw-in but was out by narrow margin. In the next inning, Rives, first up. singled, pilfered second, took third on wild heave by the pitcher, and walked in on a passed ball.
