OIL STOCK SALEsMEN WOULD
 BE MERE SUCKERS IF THEY LANDED AMONG THE FINAN- GERS OF THE ORIENT WITH A POCKET FULL OF MONEY.

Favorable prospects for the future of China's cotton manufacturing in. dustTy have led 10 the exploitation of stock-jobbing deals in Japan, based on the proposed erection of a Japanese cotton mill in Hankow. \ Japanese company was organized to establish a mill. and fioaled a stock issue aggregating Sl,000.0O0 among Japanese residents in Shanghai. and al home. The company placed or. ders with 2 British mill machinery house, and paid about s200. 1000 cash with conditional initial order as 3 binder. The receipt for the money was photographed, and copies were incorporated in the stock prospectus which also contained alluring prom. ises with respect to the dividends the contemplated mill was expected to pay under efficient Japanese manage ment. with cheap Chinese labor.
 Most of the stock was subscribed for by Japanese. and after the mon. ey was paid in the promoting cor pora.ion advised tie stockholders that the machinery firm was unable to fill the order h time, aad thai i had been necessary to abandon the plans. Ii was explained, however. that the S2O0,000 cash deposit had fo he forfeited and that rrorootinz, expenses did moi warrant the return Of any of the money subscribed for the stock ai the risk of the busi- ness.
 Some of the Japanese who were swindled figure that for an invest ment of something over S200.O00 . quick profit of nearly $800,0O0 was made by the promoters, who are ap- pareatly not much concerned over threats of litigation.

SLIM PICKING
 ON TURKEYS
FARMERS ARE SELLING YOUNG STOCK THAT LOOKS MORE LIKE DRESSED HEN INSTEAD OF WAITING UNTIL IT PUTS ON VALUABLE FLESH.

To look at some of the fowls the farmers are sending 10 market, says Ed Myers of the Goodwin & Jean Company. one would think they are having to sacrifice in order fo keep the wolf from the door
 The occasion for this remark was the receipt of a coop of turkeys dur. ing the past week, the fowls averag- ing about five pounds each.
 If the farmers had kept these tur- keys another month they would have added several pounds in weight, and a pound on a turkey today Is well worth waiting a month to get"
 Arkansas has never been a real turkey growing state, according 10 Mir. Myers, and the greater portion of the stock consumed during the holidays comes from Texas. The Goodwin $ Jean Company has en- eouraged the raising of turkeys in the state and the result of their prop uganda Is becoming evident, but fl Is more in quality than quantity. Mr. Myers says that the turkey supply in Arkansas this year will be about the same as last and prices will also be about the same. This means that many families will have pork or pos sum for Christmas dinner. The de- mand for turkey this year has open ed much earlier than usual and noth- ing Is being stored for the northern holiday trade.
