demand for many commodities in this
division last week prices either re-

additional advances. Merchants are
beginning to worry about the contin-
ued advance in prices, and the situa-
tion is not without its factor of
anxiety for the manufacturers as we'll.
II can be safely said that the bulk Of
goods to be offered the consumer dur.
ing the winter were bought before
price rises became so marked. Since
the latest advances there has been n
marked falling Off in trade buying.
which denotes an attitude on the part
OF traders looking toward possible
reaction downward after the turn Of
the year. Arguments on both sides OF
the price question are strong, and few
men in business have been able to
make definite decision in their own
minds concerning the future course
of the price trend.
Some warnings against secondary
imitation are being uttered by trade
leaders and others who have a hand
IN shaping general policies. The con-
census OF conservatives in business
circles seems to be that business will
grow better but that great amount
OF caution is still necessary to keep
It within safe channeles.

The silk goods market also showed
a slsckening tendency so far as active
buying was concerned, but there was
fair amount of business transacted.
Prices continued firm and in some
cases were advanced. This was true
notably in ribbons, where increases
amounting. to as much as 10 per cent
were put into effect. The crepe silks
continue to lead in popularity, and
are factors in keeping up the price
Of raw silk, since they use up larger
poundage per yard than most other
varieties.
Raw silk was firm most of the week,
but showed a slight easing tendency

a break of 80 yen bale was
reported, followed by large buying for

Dividend Record
The old company paid cash dividends
on its capital stock at the rate Of <
per. cent annually from 1903 TO 1907.
inclusive. The paying of these diyi.
denus at time when conservatism
would have put the money back into
the property in order to build it up
Tor the future was undoubtedly one Of
the underlying causes that led to re-
celyership, few years later.
No dividends have been paid ON
either preferred or common stock Of
the new company. The preferred stock
Is entitled TO per cent dividends an
nuaily, cumulative from June 80, 1918.
On quarterly basis, therefore, there
had accrued 211s per cent in unpaid
divldends on the stock on October J.,
1899.
Margin of Safety of Earnings
| The margins OF safety above interest
and preferred dividend requirements
shown in the table below represent the
percentage that income available for
interest and dividends could decline
and still have sufficient to cover these
requirements. When figure is pre-
ceded by a minus sign 1t means that
total income would have had to in
crease by that percentage in order to
cover requirements called for. In 1917,
for example, If total income had been
less by 26 per cent fixed charges and
preferred requirements would have
been barely earned. But If it had de-
clined 43 per cent fixed charges alone
would have been covered. In 1921 total
income would have had to increase 8
per cent In order to show fixed charges
and the full s per cent earned on the
preferred stock. The years from 1912
to 1916, inclusive, cover the operations
of the old company, which had no pre-
ferred stock
