Retailers i'm Market
To Study New Offers
Increase i'm Number of, Visfbrs
Here, Indicating Better
Sentiment

Retailers, armed with information
concerning the buying temper of their
customers as demonstrated during the
holiday and post-holiday shopping sea
sons, are advancing to the wholesale
markets in great numbers to fill in
their broken stocks and to buy mer
chandise for the coming spring.
New York yesterday saw greater
number of buyers, representing retail
establishments all over the country,
than has been witnessed in some time.
Some of the buyers say they have
been empowered to buy from third
to half of their normal spring COM
mitments at this time Of the year.
Others say they are prepared to buy
when prices look right" while few
apparently are limited only by fixed
monetary amount that they can spend
as they see fit.
The apparel trades particularly felt
the new buying. movement yesterday.
Spring garments for women received
considerable attention amt some houses
reported fairly heavy sales. Silks also
came in for some of the new merchan-
disc demand. and most e the large
houses along Fourth Ave- were busy
with customers, chiefly re.ail buyers,
The retailers are showing some dis
position to operate in the cotton goods
trade, but are confning their activi-
ties largely to the wash goods division
Marshall Field & Co., of Chicago
headed the list of retailers in the mar
ket, with forty buyers.

Sugar Crindings Retarded

ton. Saws Strauss

Albert Strauss. who presided at the
annual meeting of the Cuba Cane
Sugar Corporation yesterday, said that
grindings had been retarded on ac-
count Of the wet weather in Cubs. but
that this was not an unmixed evil. in
view of the large unsold balance of
the J9l9-'20 crop. Mr.. Strauss said
production up to January had been
only 1897 bags, compared with about
4ao, ,oC0 bags on the CORES spondinc date
In spite of low sugar prices Mr..
Strauss said that the Cuba Cane com
pany is in excellent financial position
and will proceed with grinding its
crop irrespective of financial conditions
in the island. Asked about $500 600
charged off for depreciation during the
year ended September 80 last he ex-
planned that this item was based on a
schedule applying TO all the deprecia-
Bile property of the company.

Answer-The National Conduit and
Cable Company has operated at deficit
for practically three years now. Tho
indenture of the company relating to
the first mortgage bonds provides that
the com pany shall at all times maintain
net quick assets in excess of it's az
yrcgate bonded debt outstanding. On

only s95,284. On December 81 1915,
this margin was $1.eb1 900, and on Au-
gust 81, 1890, Sl74,000. This lessening
Of margin has been due in part to Losses
sustained during the past three years.

vice TO invest in-bonds or stocks which
VIII yield io. 10 Ter cent and will not

Answer-If you anticipate purchas-
ing stocks or bonds on the partial pay
ment plan, we believe you should di
versify your investments, unless you
wish to buy Liberty bonds. In that
event diversifcation is not Necessary.
Any bond or stock is likely to 60 down
from the price at which you purchase
,ound irve stments this should not
worry you. We regard American Tele-
phone and Telegraph stock as n fair
investment for business man. You
might purchase few shares Of this
stock. The Cities Service stock is too
speculative for your purpose. in our
opinion IL You purchase stocks or
bonds yielding per cent or 10 per
cent it is very likely that they will go
down in a bear market Therefore. If
you wish to feel that your principal is
safe, you should purchase securities
yielding less than these rates. why
do vou mt consider EuCh seasoned pre-
ferred issues as United States Steel 7
