Restoration of World Trade
s.s$~ Stressed as Prime Need Here
Predicts Shortage
In Cotton Goods

Warning of possible shortage
of cotton goods later in the spring
is contained in a circular recently
sent out to the trade by d. r. Cal
houn, president of the Ely &. Walker
Dry Goods Company, St. Louis
wholesalers.
"Retailcrs have bought practi-
caliy nothing for spring." says the
circular, "jobbers have placed only
meager orders, and those only re-
Gently, mills have run on short time
and in many lines have closed en-
tircly; the general retail trade has
been exceptionally good this fall
and stocks must be replenished with
new spring goods.
"We believe the foregoing state
ment truly represents the dry goods
situation as 1t exists day. If
such is the case, where will the re-
tailers get their merchandise in
time for their spring trade? ~
The circular then goes on to say
that the Ely & Walker Dry Goods
Company has anticipated a shortage
by making large purchases and
keeping the mills under its control
fully occupied in turning out goods.

Prices on Winter Surplus Stocks
Sharply Reduced

Average prices Of not more than 25
u 80 per cent above pre-war levels
for men shirts have been established in
retail circles, through the unloading at
drastic reductions of surplus stocks of
n~nufacturers. One of the leading
branded shirt concerns in the East has
reduced its prices on all winter mer-
rhsndise so per cent, and this reduction
ID being passed on to consumers by the
retailers. Buying response from the
public has been large, the retailers re-
port.
Another we'll known shirt concern
maintaining it's factory and headquar-
.teSs lu St. Louis is disposng Of stock
OF 500, 900 shirts at prices lower than
any quoted since 1916. Smaller manu-
facturers have followed the lead, and
there has been widespread Offering Of
SHIFTS at extremely low prices within
the last few weeks
Prices now being quoted for spring
merchandise are still above present ley

Whether the new spring prices will hold

States Rubber preferred. Cuba Cane sugar
preferred and Great Northern proferred
The rubber stock believe to be sound but
| am somewhat doubtful of the other two
l have noticed that Great Northern pre-
ferred has good record since 1897 a.
though next July the Chicago, Burlineton
be met Jointly with the Northern Pactnc
VIII you please advise me whether these
bonds have been provided for and how
and let me know your opinion Of my on
tire selection?-J. NJ. W.
Answer-United States Rubber pre-
ferred at present is entitled to a good
rating. Cuba Cane Sugar preferred is
not a seasoned issue, the company not
having gone through a period of busi-
ness depression. However, the last
earnings were satisfactory. We regard
it as a fair purchase for business
man. Great Northern preferred (there
is no common stock) has long divi-
dend record. But under the present
uncertain conditions we do not regard
the stock as high grade investment
Both Great Northern and Northern Pa
cihc have issues of bonds which pro-
vide for the refunding Of the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy joint per cent
bonds July I, 1921. What form this
financing will take we cannot attempt

Value of Auction Furs
Estimated at SI5.OOO.OOO

The local fur trade yesterday ex-
hibited some surprise at the large offer
ing of furs contained in the list pub
hshed by Funston Brothers & Co. in
announcing their February auction sale
IN st. Louis. 1t is believed that the
sale includes the entire stock owned
oy Funsten Brothers and that con
signed to previous sales, but unsold,
and to the forthcoming auction On
the basis of present prices the value
OF the offering is estimated at S15,-
1000. At the peak OF prices the offer
ing would have been worth fully ,$4O,-
100000, according to trade leaders,
1t is understood that banking sup
port will be given the sale, inasmuch
as the affairs Of the company are being
directed by bankers committee. This
has given foundation for the expecta-
tion that prices at the auction will not
fall much below current open market
levels

Canada's Relation to Rail Bonds

Question: read with interest what you
state about the per cent Grand Trunk
Pacific Railway bonds due 1855. note
you state that perhars the obligations of
tho road arc assumed b. the Canadian
government. Is there any way could
ascertain for a fact If these bonds
guaranteed by the Canadian government?
Can you also advise mo If these bonds are
near he rails? am about to have
$4,000 and figure If these bonds are high
grade I would invest to the amount. as
they appear very cheap at 53.5o.-E. O. A.
Answer-Wc referred your letter to
the Canadian Minister Of Railways and
Canals and received reply which said:
From a legal point Of view the gov
ernment as holder Of stocks in any
company assumes no greater or differ
ent liability than any private stock
holder, and is liable as guarantor only
in cases where it has expressly given
guarantees in the usual legal manner
The government has not guaranteed
Grand Trunk Pacific As. 1955' That
is undoubtedly true from legal point
OF view" the letter says, but we do not
expect to see the Dominion govern
ment, as owner of the Grand Trunk
Pacific through the Grand Trunk Rail
way, permit the default of either prin-
cpal or interest on these bonds That
IL what We meant when we said "per-
Esps' these obligations were assumed
by the government Besides, being Il
second lien, your Grand Trunk Pacific
bond is guaranteed, principal and in
terest, by Endorsement, by the Grand
Trunk Railway. We believe they are a
good Investment
