Furs Are Varied

Long and short haired f'rs
are about equally popular. Some
women think long haired fur5
are more flattering and insist
on fox, wolf or some Of the
other fu-5 that frame the face
becomingly. Other women pre-
fer the subtle working that can
be achieved with short haired
furs and are buying seal. cara
cul, jap mink and the other
more pliable pelts. No matter
what the fur. however, ali col.
lars are long and wide and all
coats are lavishly furred.
Seal Is Smart
We found that Hudson seal is
a favorite with women of all
ages. In other seasons it may
have been considered a mature
looking fur but now 1t Is !uite
young and is used on some Of
the most youthful coats. We
have had a very lovely coat with
Hudson seal sketched for today.
This is q woman's coat and is
f'atterlng in every detail, espe-
rially to a woman Of ge l'syous
proportic MS The cloth Is Ra-
mona, one of the pebbly weaves
with a clightly striped effect.
Hudson seal makes the squared
shawl collar and the pointed
cuffs that are set back on the
sleeves so that they will net
wear out so quickly. The lines
are long and the coat is belt
less with dropped armholes that
are very flattering and easy to
wear. This coat is l41ilIn
priced and in excellent quality.

AWARDS FOR CONCRETE
PAVING ON INCREASE
BY the Associated Press

Under the impetus of increased Fed
eral alo highway appropriations and
unusually favorable weather for Winter
road work, the awards of Concrete
surface pavement contracts during jan
uaPy broke all previous records for the
month, showing an increase of So PER
cent over the same period last year.
'The totals, as measured by the Assa.

were 1O,108,000 square yards during
January, 1881, as compared with

The associations indexes of the VOL

NEW MINE INVENTION.
BY the Associated Press.


The Department Of Labor reports
that a miner in England has devised
an improved plan for working coal
cutting machines in mines with more
safety and economy
He proposes that instead OF having
the coal-cutter work at the bottom of
the seam, the cutting be made in the
roof of the coal seam or the top Of the
coal itself. This would permit the curv-
ings made by the cutter to fall clear
of its chain and not carried back into
the body of the seam.
It is said that by this system no
cleaner-out would be required. 1t is
also said that as the top is cut away
planks could be set into the cut made,
thus strengthening the newly cut room
against falls. To meet the uneven
rooms, some elevating or lowering de-
vice would be necessary.
1t is claimed that this overlapping
plank method would save so to 20 per
cent of timber and that the shot hole
would be bored through lower down the
face. AS the pan would obviate under
cutting, no crevice or cavity would
form in the main body.

INCREASE IN STEEL
INDUSTRY is NOTED
Buying Continues Cautious, How
ever-COpper Prices Are Again
Lowered.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Gradual
improvement continues to be reported
in the steel industry, both in production
and in the receipt of new business, al
though buyers are still cautious. EX-
panSion III the automobile industry has
accounted for large part Of the better
equipment, structural steel and pipe
lines are expected to develop. Ingot
production increased further, with out
put now estimated at about SIS per cent
of production. Some producers are &C
cepting second-quarter business at I'M
changed prices, although forward buy
ing is limited. Pig iron demand is
spotty in different sections, with prices
unchanged.
Copper was irregularly lower last
week, with prices of y cent in some
instances. Producers reduced the quota
ton for electrolytic to l0h cents, de-
livered, in the Connecticut Valley, but
metal was available from customs
smelterS at a cent lower, and the
price situation was rather confused.
While export business improved mod
erately at the lower level, demand was
relatively small owing partly to a lock-
out in the German fabricating trade.
Domestic consumers remained indiffer-
ent and held off, owing to the easier
trend. The February statistics revealed
reduction of 5000 tons in stocks Of
refined and blister, but total shipments
declined nearly 5000 tons for the
month
Moderate offerings and slight easiness

stricted, lead was easier. Zinc declined

STOCK SPECIALISTS
RECEIVE WARNING
Exchange Governors Report
ed to Have FroWned on
Bidding-Up Process.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 14.-Evidence
that the governors of the New York
Stock Exchange are keeping a closer
watch on floor operations" in order
to check an excessive manipulation of
securities, Is given in a report current
today of action that has just been taken
with respect to the group of brokers
known as specialists"
1t is understood that about a dozen
Specialists" were called before the
board CT governors a few days ago and
cautioned against bidding up stocks,
whose markets they quite largely con-
dividend reductions. The argument
was that this tended to create an arti-
fetal situation and one that has been
severely criticized by the pubic, which
still remembers the fragrant manipula-
ton Of stocks year ago when earnings
were dropping and dividends were on
the point of being reduced.
May Reduce Trading.
The market letter of a member of
tie exchange today discusses the stu
alton of the specialists as follows:
THE more stringent enforcement Of
the rules governing trading by special
lists in their own stocks is likely to
widen spreads between sales and reduce
floor trading volume. On the other
hand, this measure is unquestionably a
constructive one, as 1t will undoubtedly,
to a large extent, tend to limit trades
printed on the tape to actual TRANSACT
lions by investors and spectators and
result in the market more closely APP
proximating actual conditions. This
rule will unquestionably hamper the OPP
erations of professionals and pools"
The governors of the Stock Exchange
have mad their ear to the ground the
past year and have recognized the
rumblings of public discomfort over
some of the methods of members Of the
exchange which are detrimental to the
interests of investors. They have taken
a more positive and a more open ON
cial attitude on short selling and bear
raiding than at any time in the past.
Individual brokers have been called
before the committee to explain why
they have sold such and such a stock
in such and such volume contrary to
the apparent situation in the stock.
Last October there was definite agree
ment between many members OF the
exchange not to lend stocks to houses
that we're known to be operating Tor
H~aA POO5o'
Stock Lending Flat"
Since that time a high percentage
of all of the stocks listed on the ex-
change have loaned fiat" or at
premium which reflects disposition
to regulate short selling, and at the
same time, is one of the natural ef-
fects of easy money conditions.
It is understood that the governors OF
the Stock Exchange are also consider
ing some important changes in the
methods of accounting by corporations
whose stocks are accepted for listing on
the exchange. The effort in this case
will be to eliminate great deal OF the
confusion that arises from misinterpre-
tation by investors of items in the cor
poration balance sheet and whose i'm
porance is variously regarded by equally
competent certified public accountants.

INCREASE IN AUTO
OUTPUT CONTINUES
Estimates of $4,000 Unit
Gain for March Are
Made in Trade.
Special Dispatch to the Star.

special Dispatch to the Star.
DETROIT, March 14.-Conseryative
estimates call for volume output OF
automobile plants to undergo an In
crease of approximately $4,000 units
during March, which would point to q
total that may reach 100000. While
quarter well below previous years, il
represents progressive increases by
virtually all the factories whose dis
trioution is countrywide.
The schedules for March are based on
advance orders built up as a result
of intensive merchandising which got
an earlier start than usual, with the
result that the companies above the
lowest-priced division will have an op-
portunity to improve showings.
Seasonal conditions which, 1t is
calculated, will influence the course OF
operating activity through the Spring
should experience a certain amount
of stimulation from war bonus distri-
button and from favorable weather. The
storm that blanketed many portions OF
the country last week had an adverse
effect, but only for the time being. The
coming of the warm days Is counted
upon to pull the plug out Of the delayed
buying.
with the approach of April sales
executives look for demand to solidify
and strengthen a territorial market
that has been fair to good in spots
since the first of the year. Shipments
from factories to dealers have been held
to basis of immediate delivery with
out allowing stocks to pile up. A favor
able indication of steadiness in the
manufacturing structure. now under
controlled output for more than a year,
is seen in the fact that the f1ve-day
week Is being maintained by a majority
Of the producers.
Parts and material companies sup
plying auto plants are experiencing a
10 to IS per cent upturn in their de-
liveries necessitated by Spring require
ments.

ITALY SEES CHEMICAL
INDUSTRY ON BOOM
Special Dispatch to the Star.

Special Dispatch to the Star.
NEW YORK, March 14.-The Italian
chemical industry regards 1881 as a
year of promise, according to the Rome
correspondent of Industrial and En-
ginering Chemistry, journal of the
American Chemical Society.
New hope, says the correspondent,
has come to the industry, as it can work
on basis of lower costs of production
due to the general reduction of 10 per
cent, decreed by the italian Govern
ment, in salaries, rent, transportation,
food and raw materials. This, it is
pointed out, brings the cost of living,
which was seven times that in 1913,
somewhat closer to the real value of
the Ira.
The financial reports for 1880 for a
number of industries have been much
more satisfactory than was predicted.
