Luxury Ban Adds

Diminished Pleasure Auto Out

Curtailment of non-war production
is beginning to have perceptible ef-
feet in improving the general labor
situation, particularly in certain
skilled trades which have been sup

komo. Ind. to the Omitted States
Employment Service Bulletin" show
that diminished output of pleasure
automobiles is releasing number of
mechanics who, through the United
States Employment Service, are rapid
ly finding new positions in war work.
Similar reports from other sections
show that conservation of man-power
resources, as we'll as of fuel and ma
terial, is being gained by reduction
in the output of so-called non-essen-
tials.
Nevertheless, the general skilled

Chinese Studying
Silkworm Culture
University Of Marking Has Sci
entihc Course in This An
cient Industry

The collection of silkworm eggs from
all the silk producing districts of
China gathered by the University
of Marking is believed to be the
most complete in existence. There are
ITO varieties of eggs in all. This uni
versity has instituted short term
in silkworm culture. 1t will be
about two and one-half months in
length and seventy-two representatives
from various districts are in attend
ance. More than half represent gov
ernment. officials or schools, and many
are experts and teachers of silk cult
ure. Each student is required to rear
his own silkworms according to the
best modes in vogue in his district.
Experiments are under way to furnish
scientific explanation for or against
many common ideas in regard to the
production of silk. Special attention
is paid to the eradication and control
of diseases among the worms and to
the production of eggs that are free
from disease, to selection of cocoons
for quantity and quality of fibre, and
to silkworm breeding.
The University of Nanking is alse
cooperating with the International
Committee for the Improvement of
Sericulture in China in what is prob
ably the largest experiment in mul-
berry culture yet attempted in China.
About two acres of land have been
rented and about / 900 trees planted.

Advance in Cotton
Restricts Selling
Goods Purveyors Waiting for
Government to Revise
Prices

An advancing cotton market has
tended to make sellers of goods more
cautious than ever, as they cannot lift
prices above the level fixed by the gov
crnment. These prices were based
upon cotton at 80 cents a pound, while
spot cotton advanced last week above
81 cents a pound
The government has promised an
other revision of cotton goods prices
before October 1, and if it is to be
an upward move sellers wish to get
the benefit of it. Recent price lists
issued on wide sheetings show very
little reductions and prices asked on
many finished goods have not yet
showed decrease. But the advancing
tendency has been checked.
Converters are hesitating about max
ing further commitments and mills are
not seeking business, as they have many
old orders yet to fill. Jobbers report
that retailers are taking in goods
steadily on old orders, but are slow
about putting down new business for
late delivery. Trade in many direc-
tions is still being held back by the
~af uncertainties oi the peIioo, the
need of economy being felt in many
places.
The mills still have all the work they
can do, but they are not turning out
n capacity output except where gov
ernment orders are being filled. What
ever delays in production or delivery
are being suffered are made to apply
to civilian business. Further large
government orders came in for duck.
gauze, twills, drills and airplane cloths.
Prices quoted are as follows: Print
cloths, % inch, 64x64s, 1914 cents;
64x60s. 1lss cents; 381s inch. 64x64s,
l6h cents; brown sheetings, Southern
