Deoters. Owing TO the
1ucti0n, Cautious in
Buying PpIfs

purchases of raw fur stocks bv local
manufacturers arc now being made in
comparatively small lots because of
the proximity of the spring sale of the
New York Fur Auction Sales Corpora
ton, which Will be held carly next
month. The "showng" of the furs TO
be sold at tho forthcoming auction will
start on April - at which time manu-
facturcrs and dealers will be permitted
to inspect tho offerings.
Charles 5. Porter, president Of the
auction company, says that there is a
scarcity of certain furs that arc in
especial demand. particularly foxes Of
~ II, k'hd' martcn, mink and fishers.
Foxes he declares. seem to have dis.
appeared from the market entirely. q
condition that is not now to the trade
ihcse ANNALS and lynx arc in abun-
dance Tor four or five years, saws Mr..
Porter and then they disappear for a
year or two. He attributes this situa-
'lon to the fact that foxes and LYNX
clean up all of the rodents in one sec
tloh and then migrate after food. often
gong far from the trapping districts.
According TO Mr.. Porter there are
large quantities of Russian furs stored
IN emma and Japan which should start
coming to this country carly next fan
Japan has bought heavily of tho Rus
s'an fur stock, and Germany undoubt-
odly obtained large quantities of raw
skins when she invaded Russia. Heavy
lmportations of furs arc not expected
to have much influence on market
prices IN this country. for it is claimed
by dealers that the demand here could
take care of every skin that was re-
ccivcd

Decision to Exclude Ger
man Dyes Cires Satisfac-
ton in This Market

Much satisfaction was expressed by
dye manufacturers yesterday over the
definite announcement of the Enemy
Alien Property Custodian that German
dyes would be excluded from the
United States under the patents to be
taken over by the Chemical Founda-
tion, Inc. These patents were origi
nally German. but since they have be-
come the property of Americans they
will act as a bar to any attempts on
the part of Germans or any other for
eigners to compete with Americans in
the manufacture of dyes in the United
States.
With the embargo placed on their
product German makers with one
stroke lose all prospect of reganing
the largest single market they had be-
fore the war. Before 1914 the German
factories produced for export 80
per cent. while only 10 per cent was
considered as necessary for domestic
consumption.
Germany's ability to sell cheaply, it
is said, lay in mass production for the
various foreign markets, the greatest
foreign consumers being the United
States, England and France.

sentatives of 9S per cent of the nut.
bolt and rivet manufacturers of the
United States and Canada have agreed
upon cut of from 20 to 40 per cent in

crs will be submitted to the industrial
board Of the United States Department
of Commerce, Mr. Graham said, and if

FRlr business in pcrcalcS, mostly
used to make dresses, increased in
Quirics for unhlcachcd goods, moderate
activity in blcachcd fabrics and cX
prcssions Of confidence in the future
Of business characterized tho drygoodS
markets yesterday. After several days
of quiet demand buyers late in after
noon placed fair volume Of orders
for unblcachcd fabrics. and it was said
that prices, which had been declining
had become firmer. Mill agents in
dicatcd that men who are deemed to
be shrewd operators had sent in in
was expected that these inquiries
would result in actual orders. While
the cuts recently made in the prices of
percales have not brought out the
large volume of business that some
mill men expected, the orders placed
were sufficiently large to elicit cx-
prssions of confidence in further i'm
provement. Manufacturers Of glng-
hams continued to report an active
demand for that product.
The lower prices named on blcachcd
goods by two of the leading sellers
brought out fair volume Of orders,
but buyers were still waiting to sec
what action other concerns would take
in the matter of revising prices. Pres
ent quotations for blcachcd goods were
said to be below the cost of production,
and for that reason it was insisted
that buyers should not hope to see
any further cuts put into effect.
Exporters stated that the policy of
one mill after another in reducing
prices on the more finished fabrics
tended to disturb foreign buyers, some
of whom after hearing Of the lower
prices had evinced a disposition to wait
for further developments in order to
make sure that they would get the
best possible bargains.

Despite the almost unprecedented call
