| hosiery SundrleS. This nrm is interest
ed especially in medium grades of silR
hosiery.
Large quantities of celluloid waste
are wanted by one manufacturing com
pany in England, and another firm
which handles about 200 tons of wire
nails each year and several hundred
tons of rods is anxious to make con-
| nections with an American manufac-
turer, and bank reference is given.
Other specific wants in Europe are
enameled and aluminium hollow ware,
photographers supplies, drugs and
cocoa butter.
! Orders for army sweater coats al
ready placed through New York agents
are said to aggregate 10000 dozen. F.
w. Millington, textile broker of Man.
chester, England, it is understood, is
on his way to this country to make ex-
tensive purchaes of supplies.
Demand for Canvass in Boston.
Not for long time have the demand
made upon the duck and canvass de-
partments of the Stark Manufacturing
Company in Boston been so great as at
present, owing to orders from across
the water, principally England.
The fabric in demand from this
quarter is the heaviest quality of can
vas manufactured, which is suitable
for hospital tents, stretchers and a
great variety of like uses.
Another tremendously increased de-
mand in the kind of goods manufac-
turd by the Stark corporation is for
towels and toweling. Lately the Bos-
ton company has shipped to New York
for final manufacture three big car
loads of towel material. This will be
turned into single towels here and
rushed as fast as possible to England
Meantime about 10000 dozen more
towels are being made in Boston as
fast as possible to be shipped direct to
the same market.
AS a result of this increased demand
the duck, canvas and toweling depart
ments of the Stark Company in Boston
are working to their fullest capacity
with the greatest quota of operatives
that the machinery and. buildings will
accommodate, which has not been the
case in this particular branch for sew
eral years.
All the surplus stock manufactured
in recent months and in the storehous-
es has been cleaned out. 1t is not i'm
probable that the increased and in .
creasing demand for the class of
goods referred to may be met in the
near future by an increase of the can
vas and duck and toweling machinery
with the necessary additional opera
tives to run it.
Motor Boom in Cleveland.
Within the last few weeks factories
in and about Cleveland have given evil
dence that he war in Europe is at last
adding fuel to furnace fires and giving
ployment to men who have been idle
part of the time recently.
The White Automobile Company is
working double time to get out 1900
truck GLASSES to be shipped abroad.
Report has it that they have been
bought and paid for by Russia and
France. The company officials refuse
to affirm or deny that rumor. But the
fact remains that the automobile trucks
are being made.
The contract is said to bring to the
White Company more than 81 ,0O0, 900
and another contract of almost equal
size is said to be about closed.
The Cleveland Wooden Mills Com
pany and the Cleveland Worsted Com
pany say they have some large orders
tc fill, but say they are for goods which
would have been bought in Europe had
not the war cut off imports. The North
ern Ohio Blanket Company is likewise
working full time and seems to have
plenty of orders.
