Paper and Printing Affected.

The manufacture OF paper goods and
printing showed relatively small variR-
tons from month TO month. although as
a whole It was less prosperous In 1915
than 1914.
The decrease In the group designated
as food. liquor and tobacco was regis
tered almost entirely In the last section
of this group. There was n marked de
crease in the tobacco industry In 1915,
both as TO the number OF employees
and In h total of wage paid.
The improvements indicated have been
less marked In New York city than IN
tho remainder of he State, This Is
due IN part to the dominance OF the
clothing industry In tho Industrial life
OF the metropolis, since 40 per cent OF
its manufacturing population are en-
gagged In hat work, The 1915 clothing
strike affected the returns from that In
dustry adversely. as compared with 1914.
other industries showing a decrease
In 1914, especially the manufacture OF
tobacco products, paper goods and print
ing, are largely represented In New York
city while the industries showing the
largest Increase In 1915, particularly
the metal group, are more largely rep
resented in the remainder OF the State.

PUBLIC EAGER FOR

Anglo French Loans Status
Influences Investors to
Purchase.
WAR PROFITS ARE USED

Practical certainty that the $500, 00o,-
900 Anglo-French loan will be offered
at a price considerably below general
expectations OF bond experts and prob
ably on a 5 per cent basis sent inves-
tors In n rush for standard American
railroad. municipal and public utility
bonds last week.
IL was the most active week for bonds
In many months. The strength and ac-
tivity OF the bond market were greatest
at the close OF the market on Saturday.
The awakened demand of the public for
bonds was highly gratifying to bankers
and bono dealers as a further evidence
OF extreme confidence in the security
of American investments.
The reasons for the sudden rush were
mainly the realization hat the Anglo
French loan here will not, as expected,
establish a new high level OF interest
yield on bonds, and that n great number
OF people ave made enormous profits
In the grain and stock markets that
they feel compelled to invest.
Big European supply.

falling. As ship after ship brought over

N. Y. INDUSTRIAL
SITUATION Is BETTER
But Official Figures Reveal
Hard Times in Clothing, To-
baccO and Other Trades.
LABOR STRIKES PLANNED

AIpANY. Sept. os.-That the manu-
featuring Industries OF New York are
recovering from the depression OF last
year Is indicated by reports on en-
ployees and wages in 1914 and 1918
received by the state Industrial Com
mission from representative manufac-
turers throughout the State. Judging
by total numbers employed and total
wages paid for corresponding weeks In
the two years by 1900 firms with over
400, 900 employees. or approximately
one-third Of the factory employees Of
the State. less strength was shown in
June OF this year than in June. 1914,
while July and August of this year
showed greater activity han the cor
responding months of 1914. The increase
between the two years for August was
greater than for July.
In 1914 the number of employees n
the total wage decreased rapidly from
June to August. In 1915. except for the
clothing industry. both the number OF
employees and the total wages increased
progressively during the corresponding
months. The advance etwee the two
years in the total wages was more
marked than the Increase in the number
OF employees, pointing at least in some
cases TO the Substitution OF full time
work In 1915 for part time In 1914.

softly about the neck or lend grace
to the sleeve. Chantilly, that charm
ing lace Of web-like texture in al
most too delicate weave to be worn
is also used to fashion many gorge
Gus creations. Shadow lace, too,
has its part IN making Of the more
elaborate dresses combination with
soft talfta or satin, astrimmings in
narrow bands, for sleeves, or in soft
flaring bretelles. Strange as it may
seem, velvet in vivid colors is often
used for trimming these hlmy cos
tunes in panels and bandings, max

Narrow pleatings and ruchings of
lace and net seem to be used univer-
sally for trimming the dainty even

narrowest of bands or folds, occas-
ionally beaded with small pearls,

compose the costume. These tunics
are draped up often with loops Of
satin folds having perhaps an end
here and there weighted down with
metallic ornaments of various sizes,
Fancy braid and folds Of satin are
often combined in applique designs,

feature; there were many dainty airy
creations ali made with the bouhant
skirt, corded or lightly boned, The
more conservative afternoon, anG
the majority OF the street costumes,

suits and dresses have an undersklrt
