present prices are based, according to
manufacturers, on raw silk around
$3.50 a pound.
Apparel
Conditions in the apparel trade were
unchanged last week. Prices at re-
tail are softening perceptlbly, reflect
ing the light consumer buying that has
been manifested all during the fall and
winter up to the present. Wholesale
trade shows only small activity, al
disc to be thrown on the consumer
market in the January sales was fairly
strong last week.
WoOlens
Although new business is not coming
to the woolen mills in great quantities,
orders on hand for spring cloths are
sufficient to keep the mills at the high
est point of activity reached this year.
Interest in cloths for next fall is gain
ing and discussions are revolving on
price tendencies. The stiffenipg of the
raw wool market, particularly in the
finer grades. portends higher prices for
cloth, i'll the opinion of many At the
is great and it is assured that siren

Despite the strike in the women's
cloak and suit trade, some shops have
resumed production, leading to q
slightly better demand for cloth. The

heavily in the cloth markets at present
initial spring requirements having been
booked some time ago
Furs
The speculative rise in raw furs ap
pears to have passed its crest and pre-
dictions Of lower prices are becoming
more common. In some cases the
prices have fallen considerably from
the peak of a month or more ago. Con-
servative dealers are of the opinion
that the prices offered trappers earlier
in the season were too high and some
revision has been made. Stocks of
raw furs at present are light, but the

We Ask Some Questions

Question: own 100 shares Of the COM
mon stock. no par value, of the Columbia
Graphophone Company, for which I paid
$41.25 a share in the early part of 1920
The low price at which the stock has been
selling during the present year has not dis
turbed me very much. but of late l have
been hearing great deal about a probable
receivership for the company, and am un-
decided whether to save the few re-
naming dollars out OF q bad investment
or whether to back my confidence in tho
ultimate recovery of the company and buy
more stock at the present prevailing price
Your advice or suggestion in the premises
Will be gratefully apprecated-s b s.
Answer-We can't tell you whether
to sell your Columbia Graphophone
stock or not, but we can ask you oues-
tions which may help to clear the
matter up in your mind. Can you
afford to speculate? Do you want to
speculate? Do you know enough about
market conditions, as we'll as about the
Columbia Graphophone Company, to
base your speculations on your own
knowledge? If you can answer these
questions in the affirmative you can
sell or hold as you see fit. If you
answer them in the negative you ought
logically to sell.

Investment Information

getting as near it's actual value as pos

Answer~The Missouri, Kansas &
Texas reorganization plan has been
made public and the second mortgage
a per cent bond holders are to receive
for each $1,000 bond S1,192.5O adjust
mcnt A per cent bonds, and S64.16 in
preferred A stock. If the protective
committee with which you have de-
posted your bonds advises you to ac-
cept this offer, we think you would be
wise to do so and to make the ex-
change. The committee is endeavoring
to get somewhat better terms than
this for holders of the second mort
gage bonds. We would sell the fifty
shares of Erie first preferred, but hold
the Manhattan Elevated guaranteed
stock, if that is what you have. If the
stock has not been transferred to you,
but simply Endorsed in blank, it is
negotiable and if you lost it you might
while if you had it transferred it
would not be worth anything to any
body but yourself. We confine our
advice to investments only. Diamond
pins are out of our line.

Answer-Chicago & Alton 3,zs are
not, in our opinion, an attractive bust
ness mans investment. We think, for
instance, that Western Maryland first

tive business mans investment. A

ent circumstances, is speculative.

WHEN IN DOUBT ASK A SCOUT

Last April a letter from the state
department of conservation and de
Nelopment asking for data as to the
number and species of trees in the
city of Long Branch \. j., is said t.
have caused considerable consterna-
ton among the local authorities. Eyi
IDENTIFY tree census was wanted at
once, but who could or would do the
job? The authorities didn't know but
somebody else did. Hearing of the
quandary of the city fathers, Scout
Executive Oyenham came forward
with the suggestion that the scouts of
his district could and would under
take the census, if desired. They did,
with excellent results to all con
cerued.

BOY SCOUTS IN HUNGARY.

Scouting is ten years old in Hun
gary and, though the war stopped its
growth for a time, the movement was
reorganized and put on a firm basis
in September, 1919. In its earlier
stages the Hungarian scout associa-
ton was, like the German, a semi
military organization, but with it's re-
establishment it has rejected the mil
ltary element and founded itself on
the British and American nonmilitary
basis. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Hun
gary was a severe blow to the progress
OF the movement inasmuch as more
than 90 per cent of the Magyar troops
are now in occupied territories. Off
GERS, money and equipment are badly
needed. Some of the boy scouts have
no money even to purchase shoes,
much less scout uniforms. Most Of
the leaders are professional men or
clerks who have hard enough strug-
gle to earn their own living and yet
they devote time and often money to
the cause
I'VE are all the more proud" writes
Il Hungarian Old scout, that despite
hardships and sufferings, our scouts
untalteringly, with strong soul and
in a real scout spirit, follow the path
which leads to our great goal--good
citizenship and real humanity"
The hungarian boys are particularly
anxious to be included in the Inter
national brotherhood of Scouts and
offer and bespeak in turn good will,
understanding and support i'll the
spirit of true scouting.

SCOUTS AS LIFE SAVERS.

Hal Cranton, Il thrteen-year-old
boy scout Of Newark, O., saved the life
of a siX-year-old child who was swept
away by the swift current while wad-
ing in shallow water and had gone
down in "A deep pool
Among the many heroic deeds per-
formed during the Pueblo food Is the
story of the two boy scouts who. on
hearing that several persons were
stranded at the gas works and hang
ing from trees, FASTENED out to Min
eral Palace park, captured a canoe,
which they carried over TO the swol-
len river, and padded down in the
fierce current, rescuing five persons.
