In PHILIPPINE Trading

MANILA, P. l., Dec. 29.-The fea-
ture of the development of the for
eign trade of the Philippine Islands

ing in Philippine waters carried i'm

value Of which was $9,537, 900, and the

pine Islands during September amount
ed to $21. 100000, a gain of $4,000 over

HURLEY, Wis, Dec. 20. Federal
prohibition agents from Chicago Wis
tied almost two score saloons, arrested
approximately 20 persons and confis-
Gated two loads of liquors in a raid
that was begun before noon Tuesday
and continued for several hours.
The prisoners and evidence were
taken to Ironwood and thence to Ash
land, Wis, where the men will be ar
raigned before a United States COM
missioner probably tomorrow on
charges of having violated the federal
prohibition law.
The raid was undertaken at the d.
rection of Judge Kenesaw M. Lands,
OF Chicago, and was planned by Frank
B. Richardson, newly appointed Pro-
hibition Enforcement Agent for this
district. The raiding party of so or
more was in charge of Joseph Cal
lahan.
There was more of the picturesque
than of the sensational in the "inva-
sion," although the motion picture ma
chimes clicked merrily every time a
federal agent drew revolver or a
key of liquor was rolled into the street
Throng Follows Raiders.
A number of newspaper men accom-
panied the invaders. The crowd that
| followed the agents down Silver street
| grew in few minutes to one of more
/ than 200 persons, but there was no
| demonstration and no audible hints OF
violent opposition to the raid. In fact
| the crowd seemed to be disposed to
make it the occasion for a holiday.
Not shot was fired.
From the viewpoint of a "surprise
party the affair was a complete sue.
cess, federal agents agreed.
While it was declared that the sa
looms had been tipped off, last night
apparently no great quantity of liquor
had been concealed, according to Hur
i leyites. who watched the mash march
down Silver street.
| Street cars were used to transport
the agents, their prisoners and the
seized liquor from Hurley to Ironwood
A sleigh drawn by two horses followed
the agents in their cleanup and hauled
the liquor to the street cars.
! In Ironwood a dray met the street
cars and took the liquor to special
| cars.
; Moonshine whisky, according to OBJ
servers who claimed to know, consti
tuted the principal wet" haul, al
though there was considerable
quantity of the kind that bore labels
/ that formerly were familiar sights in
| every saloon window.
"ReaI Stuff" Scarce.
But the real stuff" was declared tc
be in the minority.
The raid followed a wild night at
Hurley, during which liquor was sold
at bargain rates, ranging from 35 cents
for moonshine to rs cents for we'll
known brands.

Since that time, it is said prohibit

from moonshine to Italian wine, have

Increase in prosperity OF the COM
pany that has come with higher
prices is shown by the statement OF
assets and liabilities. At the close
OF the 1919 fiscal year the accumu-

amount OF common stock outstanding

Household supplies such as glass
ware, china, kitchen utensils, crock
cry, linens, furniture, carpets, &C,
have practically doubled in price dur
tng the past three or four years. Pro-
ducers Of these articles have fattened
their profits during this period, and
II the statement of Albert Pick a Co.
may be accepted as a criterion, In
creased prices charged by manufac-
turens have not affected retailers, for
u is shown that the margin of profit
OF this large dealer in household goods
has shown large expansion.
This cognpony was Incorporated in
1885, when Il succeeded a copartner-
ship known as Charles Pick e. Co. 1t

tts business In crockery. furnishings,
household goods, &C, Is handled by
mail orders.

this company did a gross business of

dividends. after taking care of all ex-
pcnses and increased taxes, SS19,425
In other words. its final net profit was
equal 20 1855 cents on each dollar Of
business.
These net PROFITS are found to be
more than 100 per cent. larger than
in its 1919 fiscal year, and II appears
that this jump in profits is largely
due TO the fact that the margin OF
profit on each dollar OF business was
50 per cent larger than in the 1919
fiscal year. viz:
