WOOlens

Business in woolens for fall use pro-
gressed slowly last week. Sellers of
the high grade mems wear worsteds
say their production is being we'll
taken by wholesale clothiers, but the
low end goods are tagging in demand.
Not much progress was made in the
selling Of cloakings and speciality fab
RIGS for the women's wear trade Some
houses report steady stream Of or
ders, but admit that these orders call
for smaller amount of goods than
usual. Tho so-called corporation
goods, including serges, tricotines and
similar weaves in staple colors, appear
to have been we'll taken by the retail
and garment manufacturing trades, and
some of the houses selling such fabrics
have closed their fall order books.
Prices named by these houses were be-
low the open market prices that job
bers and others have been asking for
them.
On the whole, sellers of woolen
goods are not as optimistic as they
we're month ago, although no soften
ing of prices has been noted in pri-
mary markets. Buyers say that jol-
bers are offering cut prices privately
in efforts to rid themselves of some Of
their stocks. Jobbers generally are
approaching the fall season with con-
servatism, and say their orders are
smaller than those they placed for the
fall season last year.
An impression is growing in the

.JeweIry

The outstanding feature in the iewlry
trade last week was the announcement
that the State Labor Board, organized
by Governor Smith, in an effort to end
the strike of jewclry workers had
asked the heads Of the Jewelry Crafts
Association and the United Hebrew
Trades to appoint committees for the
purpose of having an arbitration con-
ference. The Labor Board called the
trades attention to the fact that if
conditions in this country are to be
stabilized, there must be every effort
on the part of both workers and en-
ployers to maintain harmonious rela-
tons and steady stream of produc-
tlon. The boards plan is to have the
committees appointed by the Crafts
ASSOCIATION and Hebrew Trades meet
with state labor representative who
will endeavor to see whether the issues
can be clearly set forth and so ad-
justed that work may proceed. At
present about 1000 workmen are alb
sent from the factories, but this loss
has been made up somewhat by the
enlistment of workers from other in
dustries.
Inability to secure skilled labor and
shortage of material have been handi-
Gaping manufacturers of all kinds of
jewelry in filling orders on hand. Prac-
tlcaily all or the larger concerns re-
port that they are far behind on de-
Iiveries and have little hope of getting
back to a normal schedule unless the
labor situation quickly improves.
All lines of jewe1ry continue to share
in the demand from retailers, who are
moving their stock just as rapidly as
1T is received. Fancy necklaces, brace
lets, brooches and bar pins are being
sold in large numbers by retailers as
adjuncts of women's spring apparel.
Silver service sets, serving trays,
knives, forks and spoons are in good
demand, with the consumer showing
little consideration for high prices.
With the demand for silverware far in
excess OF the supply, consumers are
turning to cut glass Sales since the
first of the year have been record
breaking and high grade cut glass
again promises to be in much evidence
on the sideboards in many homes.

With business Of even small propor-
tions lacking, it has been difficult for
tanners to quote the hide market; but
the price trend is unmistakably down
ward. Tanners continue disinterested
at present, confidently expecting q
further decline, and packers, though
reluctant to talk about prices, are said
to admit that break is inevitable.
The statistical position, in some re-
spects, is fairly good, but reports Of
resale offerings by dealers would seem
to indicate that a good many hides
were purchased on speculation. Out

Intrinsic Value Is Lacking

Question: am holder of Denver Rio
Grande Railroad common stock Do you
ownership plan? Should company be reor-
ganized. what would materialize from my
common stock? Do you think favorably Of
Tex Richard On?-J. L. W.
Answer-Denver e. Rio Grande may
have a sympathetic rise with other
railroad issues. Intrinsically there is
not much, if any, value to the stock
There is a judgment of over $3O,oO0,OOO
against the road. There appears to be
no disposition to force the matter.
Perhaps there will be compromise In
the event of a reorganization We can
not see much for common stockholders
Tex Rickard Oil is a pure speculation
We cannot form much of an opinion of
it, as this company, like so many
others, does not see fit to publish fre-
quent reports of operations.
Feels Himself in Bad
Question: own 200 shares of Tennessee
Copper at IS. 1t seems there is no chance of
getting out. What is your opinion In cx-
changing it for Brooklyn Rapid Transit? 1t
seems to me Brooklyn Rapid Transit can't
stay where it is for any length of time
H. G. F.
Answer-There has been very little
encouragement for holders of copper
shares of late. Production has fallen
off and the hoped for demand from
Europe has not materialzed; that is,
the demand may be apparent but the
means to finance it have not yet be-
come visible. Whether you would be
any better off by switching into Brook
klyn Rapid Transit stock is question
we cannot answer. We believe the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit receivership
will be rather long drawn out affair,
with an assessment very likely.
Money Probably Safer in Bank
Question: have $500 with which I am
Telegraph stock. Do you think this would
be as safe as leaving the money in the saw
ings bank ?-R. S. M.
Answer-Your money is probably
safer in the savings bank than in
American Telephone stock. The latter
is not in our opinion a prime invest
ment 1t is speculative
New-York tribune., 1920-02-23
Makes Profitable Investment

Question-Noticine your remarks in an,
swer to an inquiry concerning the preferred
stock of the American Brake Shoe. and
Foundry Company. which now pays 12 per
cent per annum and which sells at about 40
to 175. wish to advise that small invest
ment in the Z per cent common stock Of the
same company at about 80 has paid me
fairly we'll for q number Of years. I am
informed that the stock is virtually guar
anteed. as the preferred dividends must be
reduced to per cent before, the dividends
on the common can be reduced You are 30
clear and unbiased in your advice that it
would be gratifying to have you tell if this
company is well officered and managed and
if you think an addition to my small hold
ings would be advisable at present prices
L. w. A.
Answer-The American Brake Shoe
and Foundry Company has always been
well managed corporation. The COM
mon stock, which is limited to per
cent, has had no difficulty in paying
the full dividend since 1909. Surplus
on September 80, 1918, was S9,873,80O,
against total capital of S9,977. 900. The
stock is good business mans invest

Great Northern Ore Certificates

Question: have a few hundred dollars
and I have been told by friend Of mine
that Great Northern Ore certificates was
good stock to put my money in. would
like to have your opinion on this stock. as
selling for now.-J. NJ
Answer-Great Northern Ore cer-
tifcates are too speculative in charac-
ter to be considered in the light of a
good investment. Dividends are SUBJ
ject to change in accordance with earn
ings. If you consider this purchase as
speculation, they possibly offer op-
portunities.

Trade Review

trade that both mems and women's
garment manufacturers are fairly we'll
supplied with cloth with which to en-
ter the fall season.
New-York tribune., 1920-02-23

Little change was noted last week in
either the raw silk or finished goods
markets. Many of the small jobbers,
hard pressed financially in the tight
money market, continued to sacrifice
their goods Retailers in the market
took advantage Of the situation to
take in small quantities at bargain
prices. Some of these goods, they assert,
will be held for fall use unless an
unusual demand for silks develops this
spring.
The large manufacturers are hesita-
ting still about entering into forward
business for fall A few have taken
orders on which prices will be named
when the fall goods are shown, but
these are isolated cases. The goods
producers in turn are sticking to their
policy Of refusing to buy raw stock at
present prices unless forced to. it by
necessity to keep their looms running.
According to several Of the leading
manufacturers, raw silk at $12 8 pound
is a fair price. Anything above that
amount, they say, represents specula-
ton, and they are determined to hold
eff until the S12 price is reached. In
spite Of the slight demand for raws,
however, prices held firmly all last
week. Japanese grades ranged from
SIS to SIG a pound.
H. B. Cheney, of Cheney Brothers,
told clothing manufacturers at their
convention last week that unless un-
foreseen factors arose in the situation
silk goods prices were bound to ad-
vance.
