Coupon and Registered Bonds

Quest tion-Subjcct: Investments paying

pcrIenco Is that collecting for coupons Is

Gently selling at 06h for the coupon

100M for registered bond; North

recently sold at 104n for coupon

of red tape involved in having your

trouble ceases and you will get your
interest by check without any rcd

Silks

Further advances were made last
week in raw silk prices, the influence
mainly of q better demand in the
primary raw silk markets in Japan and
the rise of silver affecting Chinese
silks. Locally demand for raw silks
has been only slightly better and mills
are hesitating to pay the advanced
prices except for filing in purposes or
to finish out orders for goods The
silk hosiery and underwear trades are
still on a high level of activity and are
providing most Of the demand for
raw silk. The weaving trades con-
tinue depressed, although a brighter
outlook is seen in some quarters. Fin
ished silks can be bought from various
sources, chiefly iobbers, at prices be-
low the open market and this has an
unsettlng effect upon the manufacture
ers. Some of the smaller mills, too,
are cutting prices because of financial
pressure.

However, according to most reports
consumers are still demanding low
prices, coupled with quality, and re
tailcrs who have made an effort t.
meet this demand appear to be pros
poring more than those that have not
gone part way to meet their customers
wishes. In the retail field here and in
other parts of the country special sales
many of them advertised as "no profit
sales, have materially assisted in bring
ing out latent buying power among the
consumers. Where such special sales
have been held the response has been
liberal, especially in the wearing ap-
parel and piece goods departments.
reports from many sources that the
unemployment situation is improving
also was factor in hcartening bust
ness men who are looking into the fu-
ture.
In the textile lines cottons held their
recent price advances, and goods that
have Jagged behind in the general ad-
vance were brought up more into line
with the existing level. Woolens and
silks are relatively duller than cot
tons: but si@ns Of Improvement are not
lacking, and the more seasonablc
weather has given manufacturers and
merchants in these lines more cncour-
agement for the future.
The export trade situation continues
beset by the problems of exchanges and
| credits, as pointed out last week at the
convention of the American Manufac
turcrs Export Association here. A
straw that indicates how somc are view
ing the situation was the adoption of a
resolution at the convention condemn
ing high tariffs and the American val
uation plan. The uncertainty Of fu-
ture internal taxation and tariff pro-
grams is still deterring business, ac-
cordlng TO many trade leaders
Statistical reports from chain store,
and mail order organizations showed
good increases in sales DUNG Septem-
Der and collections in general are in
other factors, seem to indicate that the
situation is definitely better These
evidences of improvement, however, il
is pointd out, do not portend any boom
IN business. Secretary of Commerce
Hoover last week stated that the recov-
cry Will be slow, and that much price
readJustment still hangs over the bust
ness world.

Leather

Some slight improvement was shown
last week in the general leather trade.
Although individual sales of magnitude
were entirely lacking, there was a
stronger demand manifested all along
the line. Sole leather dealers reported
broader demand for their Goods
while dealers of black calfskin upner
leather and glazed kid also noted a
better demand.

The week in the cotton goods trade
was marked by further advance in
unfinished goods and the naming of
new and higher prices on denims,
sheetings and similar goods, and a
betterment in the buying of many
goods that are still available at old
prices, or prices only slightly above
the scale prevailing in midsummer

ufacturers, however, reported few re-
tailers who are specuating on their
probable needs in the distant future.
Jewelrv
Last week was another of those in
between-season periods, with little i'm
provement noted. Little disposition on
the part Of retailers to devate from
strict conserva tiveness in ordering was
apparent. Some of the articles moving
with some regularity in the retail
stores are diamond studded bracelet
watches, brooches, novelties. mems
high grade American watches and pearl
necklaces.
With the fast disappearance of Rus
sian diamonds from the European
markets, diamond dealers have taken
on new confidence that business will
soon begin to show some Improvement.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-10

Colder weather stimulated the de-
mand for furs at retail last week, but
had little effect upon the wholesal lie
market. The women appear to be
fighting shy of buying the larger fur
garments and are confnng most of
their purchases to the smaller pieces.
such as choker scarfs of marten, mink.
squirrel. etc. Manufacturers maintain
that it is difficult to pass along some
of the Increases in price shown in
the recent fur auctions and therefore
are hesitating to make up stock in
advance of retail dealers demand The
movement Of raw furs was light last
week, but prices were firmly held.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-10
Apparel


Augmented activity in the local
Wholesale apparel markets was re-
ported from most sources last week.
The colder weather, together with the
small stocks that retailers carry. made
the reflection Of consumer buying AL
most immediate in the wholesale mar
ket. During the week many large re-
tail concerns were in the market for
large quantities Of women's dresses
coats, suits, skirts and waists for spe
cial sales to be held in the near future.
Although stocks here ready for i'm
mediate delivery are not large, the re-
tallers found little difficulty in finding
what they wanted at low prices.
The mems fall clothing retail busi-
ness is developing slowly, and many re-
tallers are staging special sales TO
stimulate consumer buying.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-10
WOOlens

Two more important offerings Of
womens wear fabrics for spring of
1922 at prices lower than those made
on similar fabrics for fall featured the
woolen and worstcd goods market,
which otherwise showed little change
from the week before Colder weather
is expected to create demand for
more fall woolens within the near fu-
ture,, but as yet any reflection Of the
The selling of goods for fall and next
spring is proceeding in a leisurely
fashion, and some cancellations have
come into the market, particularly on
the higher grade fabrics In the mems
wear lines the distribution of goods
costing more than $3.50 a yard seems
difficult.
New-York tribune., 1921-10-10

The better movement Of dry goods,
particularly cottons, in all sections of
the country is shown in the October
bulletins OF the various Federal Re-
serve banks which report great in
creases in Wholesale sales for last
month. The movcme mt is continuing at
present, although orders are still small.
Retailers are buying more frequently,
however, which keeps the volume above
previous figures.
Raw cotton prices are still con-
sidered speculative by cotton goods
manufacturers and traders. The better
demand for goods, coupled with the
low stocks of cotton and yarns in most
mills, has led the mills to buy more
cotton to cover the orders for goods
now coming in. In the primary markets
goods arc being offered out for de-
livery into January, but further than
this neither buyers nor sellers appear
willing to negotiate.

the regular dividend of per cent an
nually since 1900, and it is our opin-
ION that the company will be able to
maintain that rate. But that is simply
opinion, based chiefly on the companys
sound management and on the posi-
bility Of a revival of business within
the next six months. We admit that
there is much to be said against our
belief. For the year ended July 81 the
company reported deficit after divi-
dcnds of $3,47S,0OO, against a surplus
the year before of s3.313,Oo0. The
company earned only $50 a share for
the year, against s10.76 the year be-
fore. Continuance of the per cent
dividend will depend on future busi-
ness. Your guess about that may be
as good as ours. At any rate, We'll let
YOU try it. We think that all of the
stocks you mention are attractive, but
like General Electric best But here
again it is simply matter Of opinion.

Answer-Neither National Cloak and

safe investments. Especially is that
true at the present time. The busi-
ness of both is adversely affected by
postwar conditions. and in neither
business is it certain that the corner
has been definitely turned. This, of
course, is our own opinion only. Of
the bonds that you have, we think
that most of them are good invest

VERSE o. CHEER
By Edgar L. Jones

VERSE O. "WEDNESDAY
The Happy Mans street is a haven
Of joy
For each little girl and for each lit
tie boy;
They Chamber all over his rickety
chair
On his lap and his shoulders and
everywhere;
They cling to his hands and they
laugh and they yell
And shout at the funny old tales he
Will tell.
He isn't goodIookng as goodlooking
goes;
With a mole on his chin and a wart
on his nose;
He's freckled and speckled and
homely as sin
But the wart on his nose and the
mole on his chin
And the freckles and speckles have
nothing to to do
with his bright crinkly smile that
keeps glimmering thru.
When he knocks at a door il is
thrown open wide
With a world full or welcome await
ing inside
For the mothers and fathers of
children have found
T. is JOY for the kiddies TO have him
around.
The love and good Will Of the par
ents he'll greet
AS long as they live on the Happy
Mans street.
What matter appearance, what mat
ter the lOoks2
What matter the lack Of the learn
ing from bOoksr
If a man has smile that is full Of
good cheer.
And children are happy from having
him near?
I envy the happiness he so enjoys
I envy the love of his girIes and
boys. EDGAR L. JONES
