~LEATNER--Beifer Feeling
PrerGiis i'm Fancy Market

A better feeling prevails in the mar
ket for fancy leather, with an improved
inquiry heard for various grades of
bag and case leather from quarters
unaffected by the prevailing strike Of
leather goods workers. The demand,
however, is mainly from the manufac-
tuners of high class products, restrict
ing the call to top grades and pwrinci-
pally for blacks. The tendency at
present shows a steady drift to blacks,
and several Of the most representative
this trend. with one Of the leading
houses locally noted to have completed
a full line Of summer and fall styles,
Of which so per cent are of this color.
The appealing distinctiveness of
smooth, hand bordered and embossed
grains, in stock OF this description, it
is felt, will experience undivided popu-
larity, and several of the leading tan
ners are looking forward to a broaden
ing of business along these lines.
Inquiry for stock from out cf town
quarters continues moderately fair with
both black and al moving freely but
mainly for the top grades, though
forced sales OF less desirable lots are
occasionally made at inviting conces-
sions, variable as TO grade and quality.
Dealers in sheep leather are transact
ing a fairly large business at firm
prices. Notwithstanding the shortage
of raw stock, skivers are experiencing
q hull as compared with the active de-
mand recently reported, while finished
roans for hat bands are also passing
through q somewhat periodical slump.
Trading in bag, case and strap leather
shows some Improvement. Several OF
the leading high grade case and bag
manufacturers are active purchasers
of fair sized lots Of top grade. smooth,
band-bordered and embossed grain
feathers, PRINCIPALLY blacks, in weights
chiefly of z32, BIZ and AZ ounce stock
at firm prices. "Cober" grain in black
is in active demand for light, medium
and heavy weight bags, suit cases and
portfolios. Improvement is noted in
inquiry from outside sources and tam
ners are seemingly confident that
prices will hold steady, displaying a
tendency to firm later.

This improvement, coupled with q

Pine Line Stocks

ouestion-Would you kindly give me your
opinion as 10 what effect the gradual oil
shortage will have upon the earnings and
par values of the ex-Standnrd pine line com
panies In view of the recent talk about the
seriousness of the oil shortage, are these
pipe line companies as sound an investment
as they were considered before such talk ap-
peared Nv. l.. c.
Answer-Pipe line securities are not
to be considered as high grade invest
ments, in our opinion. The high vie DIS
Of the stocks indicate this. These COM
panies are engaged in transporting oil
through pipes, whereas many other oil
companies are engaged in producing.
refining and distributing, thus d~iversi-
flying their interests. While there mas
been some talk recently Of the do
nestle oil fields being worked out, We
do not regard this as probable fer
many years to come. Nevertheless,
this factor should be considered in
purchasing oil stocks, particularly pipe
line stocks.

While rumors of price concessions by

ducers of high grade goods of estab-

new lines of fall fabrics for fall de-
livery at prices approximately on a
level with those quoted for spring
goods. The producers assert that raw
material and labor are as high as ever
and that no overproduction is possible.
They expect the buyers to take up al

pany is q very successful concern. Its
earnings are ample to care for present
dividends 90 per centkper annum).
There is no quoted market for Gorham
common stock. 1t is all closely held.
The preferred at 500 appears to be a
very fair investment. international
Silver is not connected with the Cor
ham Company so far as we know. The
international company pays no divi-
dends on its mmo stock. The pre-
ferred pays 7 per cent. We regard the
Singer stock as being a good business
mans investment. The Gorham pre-
ferrcd and the international Silver pre-
ferred are entitled to fair investment
ratings.

Answer-There are many we'll Sc
cured, seasoned preferred stocks which
would serve your purposes. Such stocks
may not pay more than their present
dividends, but these dividends are
earned by ample margins. The yield
on those named is from 6 to 7 per cent.
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe 5 per cent
preferred, Union Pacific 4 per cent pre-
ferred, Reading 4 per cent first pro-
ferred, United States Steel 7 per cent

JEWEIRY--Scorcify Of
Tools Flinders Industry

A great scarcity prevails in the
many assortments Of tools used in the
~iewelry industry. The main reason for
this shortage is that during the war
the production units for making these
tools were almost entirely taken UP by
the government. When the armistiae
was finally signed these tool factories
were overwhelmed with large contracts
on which they are still working. Be
cause OF these orders ~jewelry manufac-
tuners find it impossible to buy the
tools necessary in their Industry. The
result is depleted stocks in domestic
hands, and although strenuous efforts
to overcome this difficulty have been
made, the gap has not yet been filled.
In many instances manufacturers Of
tools such as the very small tweezers
and screwdrivers used in fitting the
smallest Settings in rings and screws
