Exports of Metal

Silver ware manufacturers and Jew
ellers making medals and other arti-
cles of silver are worried over the sit
uation developed in the silver market
through the lifting of the government
restrictions upon the expectation of
this metal. They say they are forced
to buy material every day to fill re-
quirements and that if the price of
silver continues to increase it will be-
come serious matter for them.
1t is not expected there will DE any
change in the situation for some time,
and several manufacturers declared
that silver at $1.20 an ounce was not
unlikely. Silver ware men said they
could do nothing to Offset the change
in prices.
One of the largest bullion dealers
in the world declared yesterday he felt
the present silver situation would be
only temporary and that as soon as
the accumulated export orders were
taken care of prices would recede. He
reason to feel there would be any
marked shortage in their stocks Ac-
cording to this authority normally only
$20,000,000 worth of silver is used an
nually by manufacturers in this coun-
try, while the production in the United
States, Canada and Mexico in the same
period is valued at SITS 100000. Higher
prices and a more general demand
would stimulate production at the
mines, he said.

Silks
Waist Manufacturers Are
Eager to Place Orders
for Silk Goods

Business in the silk goods district
yesterday was exceptionally active.
Some Of the mill agents intimated they
were not overkeen about seeing further
expansion in demand for the present.
Taffetas for dancing frocks were or
dered in a liberal way, and charmeuse
for street wear was bought freely.
Many manufacturers of waists were in
the market endeavoring to place large
orders for georgettcs, the goods being
for fall delivery, but as the mill agents
professed to believe that prices will be
higher later on they did not seem in
clined to accept all the orders offered.
Considerable talk was heard about
the prospects of strike in the cloak
and suit industry. 1t was argued that
if the strike is declared usiness in
dresses would increase, and as result
demand for silk fabrics naturally would
broaden.
Selling agents with French connec-
tions reported that numerous orders
had been received for tinselled bro
cades, the product of the Lyons hand
looms. The goods were bought from
samples, with the understanding that
deliveries would be made during the
months of August, September and Oc-
tober. 1t was stated that none of the
French fabrics were sold for less than
$5 a yard, and it was intimated that
additional orders were not being
sought

Leather
Heauy Business in High
Grade Leather Goods;
Orders Refused

So heavy is the pressure of business
at the factories of high grade leather
goods manufacturers that jobbers and
retailers are finding it difficult to have
orders accepted The manufacturers say
they are doing an unprecedented busi-
ness, and that, because of the shortage
Of labor and materials of the better
quality, they are embarrassed in hand
ling the orders pouring in on them.
Prices are considerably higher than
last year, and continue to advance.
Within the last few days manufacture
ers have revised price lists on certain
lines, making relatively small increases.
Wages to leather workers have in
creased about 80 per cent during
the last two years. The catch of seal
last March was much lower than in
any other recent year, which means
that the stock of this leather, which
is used exclusively in the making of
high grade bags, etc, will be compar-
atively scarce for close to year. Be-
cause Of these conditions, the manu-
facturers declare there will be no
change in the price situation for some
time to come.
