Magistrate Jesse Silberman delivered
a lecture from the bench In Women's
Court yesterday on what he termed the
unquenchable desire Of poor girls of the
present day to wear sealskin coats and
to dress as well as girls In a better
financial station. His remarks were
caused by the arraignment of eleven
girls. all between II and 23 years and
all but one wearing sealskln coats--or
at least coats that looked like sealskin--
on charges of shopliftng.
Surely the present economic situation
is being reflected in the lives of these
young women" said the Magistrate.
That seemingly unduenchable desire to
dress as Well as the more fortunate Of
their sisters caused these girls and
women to take q chance to secure some
Of the finery they long so much for"
The Magistrate said that on Saturday
he walked in Fifth avenue from Fifty
ninth to Fourteenth street and saw
among the shoppers several women who
had appeared before him in court in the

URGES U. S. INQUIRY
INTO GROCER PRICES
State Market Bureau Goes
Into Profits Here on Many
Commodities.

The Port Authority, interested in find
ing ways and means of swifter and
cheaper distribution of foods and neces-
saries in the metropolitan area, has COM
pleted survey showing that 35 per cent.
OF the business of the average grovery
store In New York is in dairy products
and eggs. Bread and flour come sec
ond with total of 1913 per cent. Canned
goods are third with 81, and sugar is
fourth with 10. Fifty cents of every
dollar spent with wholesalers by the
grocer goes in buying butter. eggs. bread,
milk and sugar.
The percentage Of gross profit on diff
ferent grocery commodities varies, as a
rule, almost directly in proportion to the
volume of trading in those commodities.
In the war period the average percentage
Of retail gross profit for butter was 7.S4.
based on the selling price. On canned
tomatoes. however, it was 20.31 per cent.
OF selling price.
The percentage of retail gross profit
based on selling price of other important
commodities was: Eggs, 9.65: bread,
1899; milk. 12.44. sugar. 9.66; potatoes.
23.53; flour 1856: canned Ash. 1887 ;
cheese, 1906; onions. 40: canned peas,
1918. and canned corn, 1912.
Whether these percentages of gros,
profits prevailing during the restricted
war period are being exceeded by grocery
stores in New York city is subject that
the Department of Farms and Markets
believes should be investigated. Copies
of the report have been placed at the dis
posal of the United States Department
of Justice and other agencies for use in
studying retail conditions.
The gross profit in percentage or the
gross sales was 1872 In middle class
stores, 1876 in wealthy class stores and
1872 in poor class stores. An average OF
S3.s per cent of the gross income from
sales went to the purchase of merchan-
disc. Expenses averaged 141 per cent.
and net return 2.3 per cent. In addition to
salaries and wages.
