The first song in the Bible, And on
the wilderness side of the sea!
New-York tribune., 1919-02-12
Furs
Out Of To,cn Dealers
Still Buying Choice
Furs in This
Market

Fur merchants and manufacturers
feel optimistic over business prospects
for the coming season. The heavy buy
ing of pelts at the recent auction sale
has been augmented by purchases by
out of town dealers who, not being
able to secure as large supplies as
they wanted at the auction, have
stayed over to do some shopping in
the open market. Some of them have
been willing to pay higher prices for
the more popular kinds than the same
furs commanded at the sale last week
Importers say that unless conditions
in Russia improve sufficiently to per-
NIT shipments from that country, the
indications are that prices for furs
will continue at present levels and per
baps advance for some varieties Of
which there is now a scarcity.
In any event, not much change in
the condition of the market is antici-
pated within the next few months as
this seasons catch is now nearly all
the market and importations are
about over.
With labor troubles in the industry
settled, at least for time, the manu-
facture of fur apparel for next season
is getting we'll under way Some retail
furriers and department stores report
that they did more business in furs
last month than ever before in like
per'od, and they expect the demand
to continue

Leather
National Boot and Shoe
association Gives
Facts of Leather
Situation

The salient factors in the leather
situation, as developed by a survey
made by the National Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers Association and set
forth in statement sent out to the
trade, are:
"The supply Of cattle in the world,
in ratio to population, has greatly de-
creased during the war. There is no
surplus Of hides, skins, leather or
shoes. and. in fact, shortage exists in
a majority of the European countries.
"Packer hides in this country are ex-
tremely scarce, and practically the
same conditions apply to country hides.
Other countries appear willing to pay
higher prices for South American and
other foreign hides than the United
States government has fixed.
There is no surplus of sole leather
of good quality, and this also applies
to upper leather, Kid skins are in
short supply, and evidently are going
to advance in price.
Cost of production, including labor,
is higher than ever before"
In view of these conditions, the as
socation expresses the opinion that
merchandise on hand and ordered is
certainly worth one hundred cents on
the dollar, and if the export business
should expand such merchandise will
be worth even more"
New-York tribune., 1919-02-12
Business Money

No change in rates is quoted in the
commercial paper market, but the tone
is described by brokers as "a shade
tlrmer." This firmness expresses itself
n several ways. While the range CON
inues from to 8 Il per cent, the market
for per cent paper is very restricted.
And there has been a narrower limit
set by some banks on the amount of
paper they are willing TO take. The
government has withdrawn about $83,-
100000 from the banks, and though this
is very probably temporary transac-
ton, it has led to increased conserva-
ism. The higher rates on the money
which banks lend to the stock market
are probably also a reflection of this
withdrawal. Business in commercial
paper is reported fair from a quantity
standpoint, though slightly less with
some brokers than week or ten DAYS
ago.
A large amount of paper is now being
offered on the market by sugar com
panies.
The general factors underlying the
market continue unchanged. Hesita-
tion in business, unwillingness of bust
ness men to go ahead until they feel
that prices have reached rock bottom.
and the consequent lack of borrowing.
have reduced the supply of CONNER
cial paper and acceptances, so that

sorts of radical ideas are developing
speedily; time, therefore, when it is
absolutely essential that the great
business elements of this country
with proper organization, hold fast as
the governors of these radical moments
keep US within the proper lanes for
those moments and acting as a leaven-
ing in the loaf, which will keep us
properly upon the tract of progress"
Dr. Rastall indicated that the fol-
lowing fields ought to be intensively
cultivated by the newly forged organi-
zation: Information service, research
service and publicity service. The plan
involves the mobilization of the method
and the spirit of science to aid bust
ness. DR.. Rastall thought the immediate
ideal in regard to membership ought
to be to bring the personnel up to
10000. In behalf of the committee he
represented, the doctor proposed that
the dues be graded according to the
size of the store the member repre-
sents. The proposal called for dues
varying from $40 to $500 year, ac-
cording to ability to pay. The dues,
it was agreed by the convention which
adopted the report, should be in ad-
dition to the guarantee fund necessary
for the first two wears

Metals
lore Inquiries for Prices
on Metal Products
Indicate Trade
Reuiual

More inquiries for prices on metal
products were received yesterday by
several manufacturers, and this was in
terpreted as indicating an awakening
interest among buyers and in fact
many contractors. are becoming busy
and there is said to be a prospect of
early orders of substantial size. The
principal disquieting factor in the sit
uation is the unrest of labor.
The active purchases of copper as
soon as the price was reduced were
cited as proof of the fact that business
is to be considered when prices are
right. This tendency is further borne
out by production figures of the pressed
steel industry. For the week ended
February / large press operations ad-
vanced rom 60 to 62 per cent capacity;
medium press operations advanced
from SO to 65 per cent capacity and
small press operations from 25 to 4S
per cent capacity as compared with the
previous week. New Business during
that week was double the previous
week. The number of employees re-
mains so per cent of normal
