But beyond the setback in the im-t
mediate activities in textiles, basic
conditions remain definitely improved,
according to various business leaders,
VINO refer primarily to the betterment
Gf the agricultural position, strong
financial situation as reflected in Re
serve and other bank statements. and
better prospects in tho export field.
The coal strike and the continue
tlon of the strike in the cotton mills
IN New England furnish some pessi-
mism, which, however, is offset to n
great extent by reports of continued
Improvement in the general employ

Silks

Curtailment Of production in the
silk mills formed the principal deve-
'2mcnt in this division last week It
IS estimated now that yarn dyed pro-
duction is not much above 80 per cent.
Piece dyed goods, however. are in larg-
er production. but operations in this
division are estimated at so per cent
al the outside. Little change has
taken place in the general price situa-
tion in silks. After further softening
early in the week, raw silk frmed up
slightly upon reports from Japnn that
Efforts to peg the market there had
been partially successful. Manufac-
turers and jobbers of silk goods with
surplus stocks on hand are inclined to
make concessions to move them. In
the main, however, the larger produc-
ers are holding firm to the prices they
have set on what little stocks they
have on hand.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-03
Apparel

The apparel trade in general con-
tlnues spotty. A fair demand for
spring garments for women is reported
hy manufacturers and wholesalers in
this markct, although complaints that
the volume Of orders is small are still
heard. Demand for summer apparel
has shown some increase, but has not
progressed much beyond the sampling
stage.
The mems wear trade is almost in
the between seasons stage. Fall lines
Will be out some time this month.

WARRANT OUT
INMONTFOR7
BANK MYSTERY
Examiners Investigation
Causes District At
torney to Act.

District Attorney Geo. B. Clement
son has issued a warrant for the ar
rest Of Clyde X. Stephens, Montfort
banker, charging embezzlement and
Misrepresentation of $4,000 of the
banks funds.
Mr.. ClementsOn was called to Mont
fort a week ago by State Bank Exami-
ner Edwards After a weeks careful
investigation by the banking depart
ment Mr.. Clementson made out the
papers.
The findings of the department
came as a shock t. friends Of Sto-
phens and the bank. 1t was thought by
everybody that an lnVesLIgaCIOn wou4u
disclose evidences of poor Judgment
but no actual misappropriation OF
funds. This, however, seems not to
be the case.
1t is said at Montfort that Mrs.
Barbara Stephens is the heaviest
loser by the recent disclosures. She
had given Mr.. Stephens large sums
for investment and her losses may
aggregate $4,000 or even more.
Other people are mentioned as heavy
losers. These losses may or may not
be aside from what the examiners find
through going over the banks books.
The general conclusion is that MI.
Stephens is alive although no one
knows his whereabouts.

abolish and consolidate numerous
rural schools of the county forcing
the students to go to schools in Fen
nimore. Griswold on behalf Of the
farmers contended that the children
OF the rural districts should not be
made to travel to FennimOre for
schooling and also that the abolish
ment of various school houses would
destroy the social center movement
started in farming communities by
state departments
The town boards of the rural dis
tricts affected, and the common cOun-
Gil of FennimOre, at first decided to
abolish the schools, and the case was
then taken up with the state super
intendent Of public instruction.
Suit was brought in circuit court
claiming that the action taken by the
town boards was not regular and did
not have proper jurisdiction.
Supt. Callahan, at time suit was
filed said sit is entirely probably that
no other case for the alteration Of
boundaries Of school districts in Wis
consin has been given such considera-
ton and publicity. WISCONSIN State
