Authority On Meat Cookery.

Whatever cut Of meat you are
carving, let neatness be your
watchword. Take plenty Of time. If
the family really wish to be help
full. they should engage in CONVEX
sation and not watcl. the carving
operation. Their patience will be
rewarded when you serve them
beautifully cut portions arranged
so that every one of the table has
his share of the most desirable part.
As the slices are cut, they should
be neatly placed upon the platter,
with the Drowned or best side up.
When there are enough slices for
all, begin serving.
A carving board is a convenience.
Many meat platers are equipped
with them now. The rougher sur
face of the board tends to keep the
roast from slipping. The use Of a
board saves your best silver platter
from being scratched while the
softer surface of the wood is easier

First: select a liquid laxative Of

Second: give the dose suited to
the child's age. and condition.
Third reduce the dose if repeated,
until the bowels are moving with

COTTON R|CES
DROP LOWER

NEW YORK, March % G.N.S).
Depressed by Senate amendments
late yesterday which considerably
weakened the Bankhead cotton
bill, the futures market continued
reactionary today.
The list ignored Liverpool equi-
valents at the opening which were
unchanged to 8 points higher as
compared with due prices, and lost
3 to 6 points. Although trading
quieted down in later dealings,
the market failed to improve its
position and held around initial
levels.
There was considerable liquida-
ton from fire firms and profes-
sional tradings during the morn
ing which was augmented by Of
ferings from New Orleans and the
South. A routine trade demand,
coupled with scattered purchases
by japanese interests and commits
sion houses failed to offset the
selling.
The easy tone prevailed through
the noon hour, when futures were
2 to S points lower. May was off
2 at 11.84, July off 5 at 11.95, Oc-
tober off 4 at 1910, and Decen1.
ber off 4 at 1922.

OUTPUT Of ZINC

Production of zinc concentrates
in the Tri-State field advanced to
5000 tons for the week ended

zinc concentrates was unchanged

This step-up disregards an
agreement between major opera

mand basis, now about 4,500 tons
weekly. Shipments for the week
were $3.50 tons, compared with
5,388 the previous week.
Purchases were 1,400 tons, COM
pared with 1880. Production is
rising, while purchases are de-
clining. Mine operators are plac-
ing excess concentrates mined in
storage bins and holding for
higher prices. This week several
Of the largest mills in the district
will be down. Fifty-one mills were
running Saturday.
Considerable effort is being
made by the larger companies to
persuade all to shut down until
prices are higher. It is stated by
engineers that only the richest ore
bodies in all mines now are being
operated, and that unless prices
are advanced most of the mines
will eventually be compelled to
shut down as they cannot continue
without large operating losses.

At the end of February the

the present gold value of the dol

After tracing the causes which
led to importation of $400, ,000, 900

GERMAN BANK
LOSES COLD

The steady pressure on the
gold reserves of the German
Reichsbank continued last week
with the bank reporting a loss
of rm. 20,800,00O gold between
March IS and March %. The
previous week showed a net gold
loss of rm. 47,2OO,OO0.
The banks reserve position,
however, was not affected as
seriously last week as during the
previous week. Reserve ratio
stood at 80 per cent, compared
with 80 per cent on March Is
and 9.4 per cent on March 7.
This was due to the fact that
the ReichSbank evidently con-
verted part of its gold reserves
into foreign currencieS, which
were eligible to serve as note
cover. Foreign currency holdings
were increased during the week
by rm. 8,500,000. Net decline

ACTIVITY
CONTINUES To
FALL OFF

NEW YORK, March % d.N.s)
While steel production showed a
further fractional decline to "a
per cent Of capacity, as against
the 4S1a- per cent rate of the
previous week.
The Presidents success in
aVerting an automobile strike has
revived hopes for a resumption
OF the upward sweep of demand
that was interrupted early this
month. the Iron Age summary
points out today. The rapidity
with which bookings from auto
mobile manufacturers has re-
covered and the steady increase
in business from the railroads in
dlcate that the loss is only tenn
porary.
Cleveland Off 6 Points
Steel output at Cleveland has
declined six points to SO per cent
OF capacity and the rate in the
Wheeling district is off S points
to 10 per cent, but production in
the Philadelphia district has
forged ahead 3 points to 36 per
cent while operations in other
producing centers remain substan-
TALLY unchanged.
Heavier railroad releases are
commencing to have a real effect
on mill operations at Chicago,
Pittsburgh and in eastern Penn
sylvania.
A number of steel producers
have announced further ad-
vance of 10 per cent in wage
rates, effective April /, and it is
probable that other companies will
soon take similar action. A rise
in steel prices is regarded as a
logical sequel. The course of pig
iron prices is still in doubt, but,
if present demands of coal miners
are met, advances will become a
certainty.
Boston & Maine Buys
The Boston & Maine has bought
80, 900 tons of rails, together with
necessary fastenings. The New
York Central will momentarily
place orders for 10000 tons Of
rails, and has taken Clayton act
bids on it's second quarter re-
quirements of plates, shapes, bars
and sheets, amounting to about
1000 tons.
The Norfolk & Western is re-
ceiving tenders this week on 4,500
tons Of plates and shapes, and
the Pennsylvania has taken fig
ures on an indeterminate ton
mage of various finished steel
products for second quarter. The
Great Northern will buy 10000
tons of rails and 5000 tons of &C.
cessories, and the Chicago Great
Western has obtained Govern.
ment loan to build 500 freight
cars.
Releases of railroad steel against
past orders are beginning to reach
the mills in real volume. Con-
tracts for much of 175,000 tons
required for the Van SWerineen
cars have been placed, but actual
orders for the steel are delayed
