Pearls of Russian CZarina
Offered at British Auction

"Going, going!" shouted the auc-
tioneer, in London, as he exhibited a
magnificent string of pearls, but he
got no further, for only $335,000 had
been offered for an ornament which,
according to tradition, had once be-
longed to the pther Of Peter the Great.
The string comprised 1913 pearls and
weighed 1000 grains, the largest pearl
weighing % grains. OF course, it was
brought to England "under mysterious
circumstances" 1t was carried fas-
tened round the body of the courier,
but other particulars of it's passage
could only be limited at darkly. The
auctioneer had set q reserved price of
$780, 900 upon the jewels. and there
fore $333,000 was out Of the question
All this is interesting in terms of
money. 1t would, however, be far
more interesting, in view of the fact
that the Bolshcviki confiscatcd every
thing of value which they could lay
their hands on, to learn who is the
owner of the precious necklace

SILKS-Soy1e Large Mills
To Cut Out Small T0bbers

Sentiment among large silk mills
against selling goods to the smaller
iobbers who have just entered business
is increasing. According to leading
mill agents the jobbers will find It
hard to obtain large supplies of silk
goods from the big concerns when the
new lines for next fall are opened in
March. More of the leading manufac-
turers are beginning to feel that they
themselves are responsible for the
present speculative turn in the market
and that by eliminating these jobbers
from among their customers they can
do much to stabilize the entire trade.
Some of the larger producers, who in
past years took advance orders for fall
silks from jobbers about this time of
the year, are not booking these con-
tracts now. Among many of the large
mills there is disposition to "sit
tight on the present market and to re-
fuse further orders until present COM
mitments are completed. That the big
mills could easily weather financial
or business crash seems apparent now
Most of them are we'll covered in raw
stock to fill the orders for finished
goods now on their books and by delay
ing fall openings until March they will
te in a good position to formulate
future selling policies in case the mar
lct suffers reversal. Although prices
continue to advance, the big mills feel
hat booking more orders now is dan
,crous proceeding.

Some converters are holding gar

cases. earlier deliveries than usual are
specified. and, although the apparel
makers have complained of this because
earlier payment of bills is required
they have acceded to the terms in order
