James E. Anderson, assistant treas

will address Washington Chapter, Ma
tional Association of Cost Accountants,
at the monthly meeting to be held
at the Mayflower Hotel Wednesday
evening. He has been with the chain

will speak on Accounting for Chain
Stores" covering wholesale distribu-
ton from warehouse to stores and
retail distribution from stores to con-
sumers.
The methods of chain store ac-
counting involve both the application
of a uniform accounting procedure
and a control of distribution costs.
These subjects were studied by the
chapter at its February and March
meetings, and Mr.. Anderson's talk is
logical sequel.

Logan pointed out that this was a
repetition of conditions in 1929.
One large Toronto brokerage house
sent out confidential letters to its
branch managers pointing out that
the price of gold mines had reached
the danger point and instructed the
managers to urge their clients to
tighten commitments.
As a consequence, the mining mar
ket has turned heavy, but the high
priced issues have held well. Silver
issues were given an upward flip
Tuesday, when the United States
Senate reported favorable on silver
bills, but traders have been uncertain
and sales have been well below the
four-to-f1ve million share record days
of last week.
New issues continue to be offered
to the public at the rate of two or
three a week and many deals are re-
ported consummated with the aid of
New York capital. Gold at $35 an
ounce has intensified the search for
new gold producers and has rejuve-
mated old properties that have a GER

public alike with the provisions of
the N. r. A. code of fair competition

NEW YORK. April l4.-March con-
tracts for construction OF all descrip-
ton amounted to S179, ,16l 500, accord
ing to F. w. Dodge Corporation. This
was almost twice the total reported
for February and about three times
the volume of March, 1888. Increases
over both the previous month and
March of last year were recorded in
each of the four principal classes of
construction.
For the first quarter contracts
totaled s462, ,34l 500 contrasted with
$l96 ,026, 800 in the same period year
ago. the corporation reported. For
residential building the gain over 1888
to date amounted to about 46 per
cent; for non-residential building the
increase was almost IS per cent; for
public works 1884 volume was more
than three and one-half times that of
the 1888 total; while for public utili-
ties the first quarters total was about
two and one-half times as great as in
the corresponding period of 1893.
Contracts awarded in March showed
gains over February in each of the 13
SectlonS covered by the Dodge organi-
cation except Southern Michigan,
where relatively unimportant decline
was reported. Gains over March. last
year, were reported in all sections.
During the second quarter of 1893, -
the Dodge survey says. contracts for
all classes of construction in the 81
States as whole totaled S236, ,086 900.
For the second nllarter of 1o2d ron
tracts in the same territory should
exceed S375 100000 by a fair margin.
"Of the contract volume for the
second quarter of the current year it
is probable that at least 70 per cent
OF the total will represent publicly
financed undertakings. During the

payments over a long period of years.
Often this system may require a
larger down payment than when Sec
ond mortgages are used, but officials
believe elimination of shoe-string and
excessively speculative building would
be good thing.
A consequence Of the program may
be the reduction of rates hitherto
charged by some interests, since con-
siderable additional capital is being
put into the home loan market, and
a greater supply of money tends to
make it cheap.
Wherever Government lending is
extended similar effect Is likely and
it is even more the case when the
Governments officials constantly
stress the importance of low rates, re-
duction of debt charges through reor-
CARNATIONS, feasibility of shorter term
loans on equipment which has often
carried debt even though worn out,
and other similar steps.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO, April 1.-THE finan-
cial week in Canada was
marked by the danger signals
Il that were hung out for the
bull market in the gold mines.
Finance and business gave feeting
thought to political developments at
Washington and at Ottawa, but mines
and mining markets continued to hold
the center of the stage.
The investing public was a little
slow in recognizing the prosperity Of
the gold mines while the clouds of
depression hung low over the world,
but it has made up for its tardiness
recently with an enthusiasm that Is
proving rather alarming to local
financial leaders Mining men have
no desire to see the market reach
dizzy heights and then break wide
open, to the detriment of the Cana
dian mining industry, which is the
second primary industry in impor-
tance in the Dominion.
A few figures on the present min
ing market are interesting. The mar
ket valuation of six of Ontario's gold
producers at their peak in the last
bull market was some $307 900 900. 1.t

MULEPR|CESSO
AS SCOTTON STATES
SHARE IN UPTURN
Sales Taken as Indication
of Crop Preparations on
Liberal Scale.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

special DlSpatcn 10 Ihe Star.
NEW YORK, April l4-Brisk de-
mand for mules in the cotton belt.
which has lifted their value almost
as quickly as those hay burners" can
raise their kicking apparatus, is being
interpreted by the local cotton trade
as another indication of crop prepa-
rations on liberal scale.
Mule population, like fertilizer sales,
which are now rising, tends to follow
cotton prices up or down. Mules in
the 10 principal cotton growing
States at the start of this year we're
the fewest in number since 1920.
Higher cotton prices and Government
benefit payments, however, have
enabled many farmers to replace
worn-out work animals.
The mule, despite the belief of
those who think of that animal only
in terms of expletives, cannot sur
vive all sorts of mistreatment. Pres
ent large requirements, which account
for record receipts, especially in
Southern stockyards, are natural in
view of reduced mule purcr ases for
several years. In fact, null experts
say it has been something of a mys-
terry to them how cotton growers have
been able to work their old mules
with such good results the past few
years.
Scattered reports from the belt,
especially the western part, also sug-
gest cotton growers are not buying
new tractors and other types of gaso-
line-driven farm machinery to replace
worn-out equipment but have gone
| back to the use of mules.
The defation in mule values started
late in 1880 and was quite as severe
as in shares or commodities. Back
in February, 1881, Cora Harris, the
authoress. offered her mule, Maud, "at
the market" Mrs. Harris and other
farmers around Gainesville, Ca,
found mules a surplus in view of low
cotton and corn values, so Maud, de-
spite her literary associations, was
sold for $50.
Today mules, while still somewhat
low in money value, are in terms of
values of many agricultural products
higher than at any time in the past
two decades.
The average price of mules on
January /, 1884, was $81.56, or 35 per
cent more than the SCOTT on jan
uary /, 1893. However, this was 4
per cent less than their average price
in 1926, which is the goal of American
recovery. The record 1920 high was
3148.46. Mules dropped to $8279 in
1880, to $69.18 in 1881 and to S6046
in 1882.
