EXT END GRAPHOPHCNE
NOTE DEPOSIT PERIOD
Tim Advanced to March 10
b. Committee.

Harold Stanley. president OF the Guar
anty Company OF d York and chair
man of ne committee formed to repre-
sent holders of the Columbia Graphic
phone Manufacturing Company five year
s per cent. gold notes. announced yes
terday an extension of time for the de-
post Of notes to March 10, and an ar
rangement whereby note holders who
deposit their notes on or before March
10 will receive Immediately the $40 rep
resented by the February /, 1922,
coupon.
Bank creditors and merchandise cred
itors' committees speak for practically
all of the company's debt except that
represented by the notes. of which 66
per cent has been deposited.
No plan of voluntary reorganization
would be adopted, Mr.. Stanley said. un-
til the committee should be ready TO
speak for a satisfactory percentage of
the notes.
Mr. Stanley concluded: UNLESS the
holders of the notes deposit their hold
ings Immediately a voluntary readJust-
ment of the company's finances may be-
come impossible. The alternative Is an
expensive and protracted court reorgaid-
zation involving great damage to the
business and certain loss to all classes OF
creditors. Since the noteholders are
wholly unsecured, the noteholders would
suffer greatly with other creditors.

as Director-General Of Railroads, for
injuries she declared she suffered at
Hartman. N Y, in 1920 while pas
senger on an Erie train, was halted sud-

clared that she was injured when a

cross examination if she was not ac-
tually 40 years old. and If she had not
once been employed by an insurance

REPORT OF TONNELLE
EXECUTORS is UPHELD
Contention. Arose Ouer LaD
Lease in a Trust.

Harry N. French as referee submitted
a report to the Supreme Court yesterday
recommending that the court approve
the accounts of John N. Tonnelle, Theo-
dore Tonnelle and Henry II. Hirche as
executors Of John l.. Tonnelle, who was
executor OF John Tonnelle, in respect to a
trust fund established in 1871 for the
benefit of Rebecca r. Rice Gay
The trust provided she should have
the income OF three lots at the southwest
corner of Eighteenth street and Sixth
avenue. There was no building on the
plot and the first trustee leased It to a
man who improved It on the understand
ing that at the expiration OF the lease,
which was for thirty years, he could re-
move the buildings. 1t was leased con-
tinuously after the lease ran out until
1916 when the buildings burned.
The heirs Of Rebecca Gay objected to
the accounting of the present trustees
on the ground they ought to charge
themselves with the value Of the build
ings which was burned.

TO END GAS RATE CASES
Three Sided Board Includes
City Members.

After two hours OF pickering at the
offices Of the Public Service Commission
Yesterday an agreement was reached by
the gas companies. the city and the
commission on o settlement of the
gas rate cases. Each of the parties
will appoint an engineer and an account
ant to decide what data from the COM
panies will be necessary to work out a
new schedule of rates. No defir date
was fixed for a beginning Of the X.
William L. Ransom, for the Jnsoli-
dated Gas Company, made an attempt to
bar the city as being not Interested.
"If you want to make the Public
Service Commission what 1t ought TO
be-" roared Corporation Counsel O'Brien,
pointing his finger at Mr. Prendergast.
chairman of the commission, you will
make q ruling here and now that the
Mayor is proper party to these cases
and that there is no decision (which
holds. that he has no rights here"
Mr. Prendergast told Mr.. Ransom that
TO fail to recognize the right of the city
10 interest itself in gas rates was to
fail to recognize what was universally
recognized all over the United States.
Hr. Prendergast suggested that the
six experts ought to be able to agree
on questions of inventory and valuation
without the necessity OF having each
examined under oath as under the old
method. He said the Legislature had
promised the commission S65,000 to
check up the inventories as filed with
them by the various gas companies. The
Corporation Counsel contended that
most OF the inventories filed did not go
into sufficient detail.

Edwin Yeates Webb in the United
States District Court yesterday. Judge
Webb fixed Swensky's bail at $4,000 and

cutters OF this city and I am determined

silk Hosiery Lines Duu.

The feeling in the silk hosiery indus
try is described as chaotic. Price con-
cessions and curtailed buying have been
the immediate results of the raw silk
markets fluctuations Much merchan-
disc is offered for less than replace
ment costs, but a tendency of more
conservative manufacturers to withhold
goods from immediate consumption mar
kets is noted. 1t is felt that to offer
more goods at present standards of
undervaluation would have the result of
setting low market that could not be
recovered. The reestablishment of con-
fidence in prices and the raw silk mar
ket is believed TO be the factor con-
trolling resumption of buying. and to
bring it about manufacturers are lead
ing the way.

Criticize Buying Methods.

The placing OF tentative orders by re-
tailers is believed by a manufacturer to
be the chief source OF trouble in many
trades. He cited an instance of n re-
taller placing an order for a consider
able amount of goods, with the stipula-
ton that in the case of a price advance
before their delivery the retailer would
receive the goods at the old price. but
in the c-lse of a reduction the goods
would be paid for at the new quotation.
1t is pointed out that the present system
Of buying increases the speculative ele-
ment and induces reckless buying, based
on the theory that goods unsold may be
resurned.

Trade Orders Revised.

very evident tone OF Improvement
In the wash goods situation of late.
compared with the amount of January
business transacted. is noticeable. Deal
ers declare that this season has been
one of tho slowest in getting under
way. Orders being received are con-
fined to speciality lines rather than to
more staple lines which make up the
great volume of sales in normal periods.
Woven specialties, such as ginghams
and ratines, are receiving considerable
attention. Now that buyers are be-
ginning TO place commitments. manu-
facturers and commission merchants
believe that orders will continue to be
placed late into the season as the de-

Grny Goods Open Quiet.

Trading at the opening of yesterdays
local gray goods market was described
as spotty. Certain centers did a fair
business in 64-60s and 6S-72 printcloths
at prevailing prices of s and cents
while others reported comparatively lit
tie interest. The sheeting market like
wise was without feature. Little actual
business was transacted. but prices re-
mained firm. A few sales of els yard
goods were made at 6A cents. Business
in the local burlap market was limited
to spot and nearby goods at 4.05 and
SIS cents for light and heavy weight
goods, respectively. Cables from CAL

men will be invited. IL Is proposed to
reconsider in the convention the change
OF the standard size OF raw silk from
1916 denler 10 1917 denier. The Jap
anese claim that such change is de-
slrable because OF recent improvements
OF cocoons. which have made the fila
ment more coarse. but have made the
unwinding OF cocoons better. The change
In size. II Is said. will make the process

Light Weight Underwear Buying.

The warm weather of the last few
days has created a quickening demand
from retailers to fill in stocks of light
weight underwear for summer. Goods
are reported as moving with fair de-
gree of rapidity and the feeling that
within ano1her month the demand will
bid fair to outstrip the supply prevails
among sellers. Operators are said to
be increasing production of light weight
goods. while considerably less attention
is being given to heavy weight mer-
chandise That change in the buyers
attitude has been reflected in price
changes. Quotations for fall merchan-
disc are weakening, while spring and
summer underwear holds firm.

Revise order. I'm Clothing Trade.

The inevitable reaction to haphazard
buying is beginning to manifest itself
among summer clothing manufacturers.
Cancellations and revisions of orders
are growing In frequency and size as
buyers return TO their territories and
view the situation from the viewpoint
OF actual demand. The craze for tweeds
in particular has brought much popular
priced merchandise on the market, with
the result that retailers catering to an
exclusive trade find themselves with
out selling point for those goods.
Manufacturers and retailers generally.
however, hold to the hope that many
Cancelled orders will be renewed when
warmer weather sets in.

did up to n week ago when buyers were
