Business Questions Answered
Would you mind telling me If you
consider the position of marker" in
a. department store a good began
ring for u girl of fourteen? Ny
daughter has been offered such a
position and while / dop't know
exactly what it 10. I want To- be.
sure that 1t is good work for her,
and with good chances. -
This is very simple. automatic
work that almost any girl can mas
ter. 1t may lead. perhaps to any po-
sition In the department store II
YOUR daughter is quick, intelligent
and ambitious. This work consists
of marking stock. 1t il generally
done by machine and IL virtually au-
tomato. A responsible person sets
the machine so that 1t VIII print the
correct price and the desired num-
Der of tags. The worker has only to
move a treadle with her foot and
hold the article in place while the
tag Is printed and attached. the
machine puts on tickets. A girl VINO
does good work as marker may be
promoted tn a junior position In an
other department. This work makes
no demand upon the intelligence or
skin OF the worker and as a result
the pay is very small!N
Would you consider this a good
time for a young accountant. VINO
has formerly held q position with an
Accounting concern, to go in busi-
ness for himself? There are "
possible clients he can get.
ACCOUNTANT.
I think I should hold on to my
position these days until conditions
get more settled. Business Is HARD
TO get. and an accountant starting
out for himself just now Will nave
a hard road to travel. If you don't
depend on your regular income and
can AFFORD to take a chance OF max
ing little or nothing at the begin
ming. you may be doing the right
thing, but personally. ! should walt
for AZ least six months more. until
conditions are better.

Third of All Gold
Baker, Who Rctires as Di-
rector To-day, Reports
Greatest Coin Demand i'm
1917 to 1920 in History

WASHINGTON, March 19.-Trustee-
ship for a third Of the worlds gold
supply changes hands tomorrow, when
r. e. Scobcy Of San Antonio, Tex sue
cecds Raymond T. Baker as director
Of the mint. Gold assets Of the mint
service institutions aggregate $4,000
OOOO. The world gold supply is esti-
mated Mt approximately $4,000 100000.
Mr. Scobey, when he takes the oath
of office tomorrow, assumes super
vision Of the governments coinage in
stitutions, and tons Of precious metals,
bars Of gold and silver, coins Of all
denominations, will come under his
charge.
According to report completed to
night by Mr. Baker for his successor
the total assets Of the mint service
institutions approximate S3,67G 900 900,
stored in the mints at Philadelphia,
Denver and San Francisco and the
United States Assay Office at New
York. Distributed among the four in
sttutions are S2,829 900 900 in gold
bullion and S260,O000 900 in gold
coin; s42 100000 in silver bullion and
1852 100000 in silver coin; $280000,-
600 in paper currency and $3,O00,000 in
minor coin nickels and pennies. Much
of the enormous stock Of gold is ac-
counted for by the tremendous influx
Of that precious metal into this coun-
try since the war. The mint is re-
quired to purchase the yellow metal q
it is offered, unless it comes from
Russia-the gold Of the Bolsheviki is
tabooed.
Summarizing his fve-year term as
money maker for the government, Mr.
Baker said that the coin demand upon
the United States mints was larger
during the calendar years 1917 to 1920,
inclusive, than during any period in
the history of the service. During the
war period, he said, approximately
2,693,o00,000 separate coins were struck
OIL by INC mints at Philadelphia, Den
yer and San Francisco, while the out
put for the calendar year 1919 alone
was 839 ,0o0,oo0 pieces, or 446 per
cent larger than in 1915.

Director Demands
Inves stigation OF
Submarine Boat
Isaac L. Rice Jr. Makes
Charges of Extravagant
Management Against Of
ficials of the Corporation

A demand for an investigation Of
the affairs Of the' Submarine Boat
Corporation is contained in a circular
sent to stockholders by Isaac l.. Rice
jr, a director and stockh older, who
has organized committee to ask for
proxies to be voted for new manage
ment at the next annual meeting
Mr.. Rice, who represents more than
$4,000 shares Of the company's stock,
and whose father played an important
part in it's affairs when it was known
as the Electric Boat Company, charges
that lack Of judgment on the part
Of officials together with extravagant
management and excessive salaries,
has put the company in condition
where no funds are left for dividend
purposes.
an my opinion" says Mr.. Rice,
"thc corporation would have a bright
future under competent and conserva-
tive management, and should it show
disposition to deal in business
like manner with the authorities at
Washington | believe an adjustment
could be made Of the contract with
the Emergency Fleet Corporation
which would materially reduce the OBJ
legations now imposed upon the com
Eany, requiring an expenditure of ap-
proximatcly S1O,00O000 over period
Of twelve years. 1t is also probable
that with proper presentation at Wash
ington the s5000,00O claim against the
government could be collected prompt
ly."
The proxy committee consists of
George G. Van Tuyl jr., ry State
superintendent Of Banks; Arthur y.
Westervelt. vice president of the Amer
lean Trust Company; Sydney II. Her
man, president of the Union Exchange
National Bank; Frank l.. Van VIE. Of
j. II. Oliphant & Co.; Frank Cocnen,
with Finch g. Tarbcll, members of the
Stock Exchange.
Referring to losses alleged to have
been made by the company Mr.. Rice,
in his circular to the stockholders.
asks: "Do you know that while the
company was suffering these losses
and its stockh olders had been practi-
cally forgotten In the matter Of divi-
dends, and during the period when the
market price of it's stock had fallen
from approximately $40 a share to SO
share, its president caused his sal
ary to be increased from $4,000 to
100000 year and the salary of one
$4,000 and of another from $4,000 to
$50, 900, all such increases being made
retroactive for three years?
"That the president of the company,
after being in office but three months.
voted himself a bonus Of $4,000 in
addition to his salary, and since that
time has caused to be placed on the
books of the company, for future pay
ment to officers, bonuses in excess Of
$4000 900?
THAT at the time the president
caused his salary to be increased from
$50 900 to 100000 he was under agree
ment with the corporations subsidiary,
the Electric Boat Company, to render
his services as president for $4,000
1 year?'

in comparison with those of other fibcrs
seems well grounded. 1t is felt that cur
rent prices are the result of speculative
activity in Japan, the principal source
OF raw silk. and that the market is
artifclally sustained. Some weakness
developed in the Yokohama market tow
ard the close of last week, and local
prices slumped off to some extent.
manufacturers here, however lack suffi-
cicnt confidence in the raw silk market
to operate very far ahead, and contine
their purchases to stocks that are need
ed imm ediately.
Finished goods trade is reported in
some quarters to be improving slightly.
Inquiry is better, particularly from dry
goods retailers. Jobbcrs and garment
manufacturers are operating sporadi-
cally on much reduced scale.
WOolens
Little change appeared last week in
the wooden goods markets. The de-
mand for mems wear suitngs for fall
has lapsed after the fair buying that
characterized the opening of these
lines earlier in the year. Worsteds
have been bought exceedingly sparing-
~. Overcoatings have been sold bet
ter than any of the suiting lines.
Women's wear goods for fall are
still in halting position. A few lines
have been we'll SOLD ahead, while
others have not yet been formally of
fered to the trade
Fabrics for spring use are weak,
although some sellers anticipate more
action before Easter. The tweeds and
similar fabrics, which had A good run
earlier in the year, are now in the
dumps again, with jobbers offering
them at price CONCESSIONS Some re-
selling of tweeds and homespuns by
garment manufacturers also has en-
sued.

Italian Textile Act;vitv

SILK factories in Italy are reported
to be working at full capacity and a
scarcity OF skilled labor appears to be
felt: The Improvement in the industry
is due to increasing foreign demand
especially for crepe and stamped silks
Most OF the Italian cotton industries
are operating on full time, the rise in
prices OF imported raw cotton and i'm
ported textiles contributing to more
stable operation. The woolen and
hemp industries are still operating on
more or less restricted schedules.

Brazilian Silk Industry

Inc brazilian Ministry of Agricul-
ture, through its sericulture expert
ment station at Barbacena, in the State
OF Mlnas Geraes. has made sufficient
headway for the Incorporation Of a
company to erect modern silk factory
at Camplnas, Sac Paulo. Mulberry
trees are grown with considerable sue
cess in Brazil, and silk worms have so
far escaped serious epidemics. The
quality of Brazilian silk is claimed to
be OF the best, withstandng all un-
favorable effects of washing.
New-York tribune., 1922-03-20
Apparel

Buyers apparently have the upper
hand in the apparel markets and are
driving some stiff bargains for spring
merchandise with the manufacturers
and wholesalers. Advance orders have
been light and manufacturers who made
up merchandise in anticipation Of a
stronger demand for spot goods have
had to make concessions in many cases
to get rid Of their stock goods. Manu-
featuring now is being done with eau
tion, and there is a tendency to bring
down production closer to actual orders.
Mems apparel manufacturers are pre-
pairing for the fall season, and soon
will take to the road with fall samples.

MICHAEL ]. CREMINs. sec,y.
New-York tribune., 1922-03-20


Business is so interrelated that in
huences spread from one industry to
another. Increased building activity,
continued Improvement in the basic
iron and steel industries, improved
agricultural conditions and other fac
tors point to possible and probable bet
serment in demand for general COM
modities at some date in the near
future.
PRIMARY textiles are exceedingly dull
with few EXCEPTIONS Despite the great
curtailment in the production of cotton
goods because of the strike in New
England, prices have shown softening
tendency. Some in the trade argue that
the price situation would be much
worse if it were not for the low level
of production at present. Silks con-
tnued dull last week, with further
weakness in raw silk prices. Woolens
appear to be suffering from lighter
demand, and the minor textile lines are
in much the same position.
Retail trade, although spotty, is not
encouraging at present. 1t is admitted
that the weather has been against any
great expansion in retail volume so far
this season. Retailers in order to keep
up their sales volume have made
heroic efforts. both through increased
advertising and further price cutting,
to attract customers.
EOttOns
Two phases of the strike in the cot
ton goods mills down East stand out
clearly. One is the fact that the East
ern mills, because of the shorter work
ing schedule imposed by union regula-
tion and a slightly higher wage scale
cannot produce goods as chcaply as the
Southern mills The other is that
public sentiment in the mill districts
is decidedly in favor Of the strikers.
The oft repeated statement that manu-
featuring cotton goods on to-days
basis of prices is Improbable evidently
has some degree Of truth in it. Either
the cost of production must decline or
finished goods prices will have to rise
before the industry can 90 ahead on
normal basis. Whether the attitude
of the mill owner that lower wages are
necessary to reduce the cost of produc
tion is the only solution to the prob
lem is open to argument. At any rate,
the struggle between the mill owner
and the workers has upset trading,
with the result that buyers are hold
ing Off pending the outcome of the
battle.
Buying for export is improving
slightly.
Silks
The question of getting profit out
of goods also is paramount in the silk
trade. The troubles of this industry,
however, arise moro from the huctua-
tions in price of the raw product than
with the costs Of processing. although
the latter is an important factor. The
belief that raw silk prices arc too high
