WRIST WATCH RAGE
SWAMPS MANUFACTURERS

Wrist watches are the rage. Every
soldier wants one, every woman wants
one, and everybody else wants one.
All the watch factories are making
wrist watches; the jobbers order 1900
wrist watches and get about eight.
They can't supply the demand for
wrist Watches" says Joseph Schwartz,
wholesale watch dealer, who arrived
in Honolulu today after a brief busi-
ness and pleasure trip to the main
land.
The keystone watch factory is so
swamped with orders for this type OF
watch that has come into fashion
since the war started that they can't
fill their orders. 1t is the same with
other factories. The jobbers are
crazy for this article and cant get it,
declared Mr.. Schwartz.
Mr.. Schwartz left his wife and fam.
lily in San Francisco but returns him.
self for a permanent stay.

CONSERVATISM Is MORE

NEW YORK. April 27.-Dun's Weekly
Review of Trade tomorrow will say:
Except for government requirements,
general business is of lcssened mag

The restricting influence of the high
and steadily rising prices Is clearly
seen i'll the growing tendency toward
economy and rctrenchment among con-
sumcrs and, as a reflection of this.
manufacturing activity is in some
branches subsidinE. iIcstancy in pur-
chasing is more sharply defined in
the staple comm odities. including foot
wear and textiles. and variable wealth
or has also initiated against the best
results in retail distribution. Yet.
some abatement Of demand is not sur

and the limits to which buying has
already been carried and transactions.
in tho aggregate. surpasS those of any
previous corresponding period. This
is evidenced by bank clcarinEs and
similar baromcters, aud the statistical
record would he even more striking IL
certain producers were in a position
to accept all the contracts offered.
Precedence is given to Federal needs.

by the pressing necessities Of this gov

problem Is more troublesome. with
strikes in some industries. and the
car shortage. though less acute. also
hampers operations. With tho move

weather has been more propitious for
agriculture and decided Improvement
