day was good, but hardly any new bills
came out. Call money was tight, OPEN
ing and renewing at 51a per cent and
rising to 6. Acceptance dealers, under
such circumstances, would ordinarily
experience difficulty in obtaining call
funds at their preferential rate of Al
per cent, but the fact that they have
SO few bills to carry makes their de-
mands low and their problem is not
great.
Short time acceptance credits are
dislikcd for financing Europe's pur-
chases from US, owing to certainty that
they would have to be renewed, but
they are regarded as useful in bridg-
ing the gap between now and the
time when long time bond credits can
be arranged.
Fifteen to sixty day prime trade ac-
ccptances were quoted at S to bA per

Textiles
Buyers Moue Quickly ir,
WOOlIen Goods Market.
Fearing Shortage

Prices for woolen goods are tending
upward, some agents having advanced
their merchandise as much at 10 cents
a yard. Many mills have taken orders
for more cloth than they can possibly
produce and will be forced to trim
down deliveries on their contracts.
Buyers see a shortage Of desirable
merchandise coming and arc hasten
ing in many cases to cover themselves
by ordering from firms with whom they
never did business before.
Despite the possibility Of serious
labor tie up in the womens cloak and
suit making trade, garment manufac-
turers in some cases appear willing to
take n chance on buying more mer-
chandisc than they would use in case
of strike and are placing orders for
cloths for fall. While these orders are
not large, they call for relatively high
er prices than those in the mea's wear
trade. One high class cloth manufac-
turer yesterday pointed to the fact that
women's cloakings Of high grade
bring as high as $40 yard, even from
the smaller manufacturers. A direct
selling agent for large mill said yes
tcrday that his statesmen had sold al
most 1000 pieces Of certain cloak

Jewelry
Al Branches OF Je,velry
Trade Continue Actiue;
Fe,U Failures Reported

No diminution of business is notice
able in the jewelry trade, all branches
of the industry working to capacity or
selling as much goods as the supply of
materials permit. Conditions remain
unchanged in the diamond business.
manufacturers filling orders just as
quickly as they receive stones. Watch
and ring makers also are selling all
the merchandise they can produce.
AS an indication of general financial
conditions in the industry, Fred C.
Backus, secretary of the National Jew
elers' Board of Trade, points to the
improvement in the credit situation
compared with conditions in other
years. Few failures have occurred in
the industry of late During the month
of March the Board of Trade had
records of only ten financial cmbar-
easements. In February nine jewelry
concerns we're in financial difficulties.
Considering that several years ago
a total of nineteen business troubles a
day in the trade was not unusual, ths
showing this year is viewed as re-
markable.
A credit collecting agency, which has
700 jewelry clients on its lists, re-
ported yesterday that business was
so dull that it could almost be said no
calls for collections had been received.

Business Money

An easier tendency is noticed in the
commercial paper market by most
brokers. Brokers have been able to
sell more paper at 5l4 per cent than
previously, though such sales, which are
confined to the best names, are all
made out of town. The general trading
rate is still 81 per cent. Only two or
+hrce prominent New York banks are
IN the market. The preference for the
long maturitics, that is, for six month
paper over five-month paper of similar
nature, by the banks continues to be
noticed by paper brokers, and is in
terpreted by them to mean the expec-
tation of lower money rates this sum
mer. The banks evidently do not feel
that the present level is likely to hold
Nor does their attitude indicate that
they expect to be "loaded up" with the
Victory loan notes. Some brokers seem
to feel that lower rates may come soon
for the volume OF commercial borrow
ing Is so small that the banks cannot
get all they want of it,

Substitutes for German,
Dyes Are Sought Here
for ExpOrt to India

English exporters are seeking sub
stitutes for German dyes in the
American market for shipment to
India. The demand in that country for
coloring materials is growing and
many orders for malachite green, con-
go red and other brilliant oolors are
received by American manufacturers
direct. A New York dealer has re-
ceived q request from an English
house to furnish substitutes for such
dyes as alizarine blue, alizarine blue
black, diamond black, alizarine -cyanine
green, naphthaline green, diamine scar
let, brilliant milling green and chryso-
phenine, yellow dye. All of these were
formerly supplied to the Indian and
other markets by leading German
manufacturers.
Producers of straw goods, including
hats, mats and, furniture, are placing
sample orders for dull browns, green's
and reds, in preparation for next sea-

Leather
Tanners Place Orders for
Hides in argentina Re-
gordless OF Strike

While nothing has developed to in
dicate improvement in the strike situa-
ton in Buenos Ayres, American tan
ners have been placing large orders
for South American hides to be de-
llvered when conditions permit. 1t
was said yesterday that during the
previous twentyfour hours orders had
been placed for about 100, 900 pounds
of La Plata and Buenos Ayres hides.
Domestic winter hides have never been
bought as freely as this year. This is
due, it is said, to the belief in good
export business by the tanners, as we'll
as to the labor trouble in the South
American port, which is holding back
large quantities of raw stock from the
American tanners.
Packers in this country arc refusing
to quote prices on future shipments
and likewise the tanners will not give
prices on light sole leather for future
delivery. Recent exports of both hides
and leather to Italy, France and Scan
dinavia have helped materially to re-
ducc stocks here. 1t is felt that de-
mands for leather from Europe will
continue for some time because of the
shortage of footwear abroad.
