JEWELRN-Supply Of Tools
Used in }crc!rv Trade Short

A great scarcity prevails in the many
assortments OF tools used in the
jewelry industry. The main reason for
this shortage is that during the war
the production units for making these
tools were almost entirely taken up by
the government. The result was de-
pletcd stocks in domestic hands and,
although strenuous efforts to overcome
this difficulty have been made the gap
has not yet been filed
In many instances manufacturers of
tools, such as the very small tweezcrs
and screwdrivers used in fitting the
smallest settings in rings and screws
in watches, are still from SIX to eight

METALS-Surpius Stocks
Reduced in August

material reduction in the surplus
OF copper in the hands of producers
IS reported TO have taken place during
August, despite the fact that sales we're
small in the aggregate. A decrease in
the supplies is attributed to an increase
in last months deliveries. Further
more, it is reported that the bookings
thus far in September have been large.
Some secondhand metal is SAID to be
changing hands at 22l4 cents a pound.

tinuc to quote 23'2 cents for nearby

months behind in filling orders and
apparently have small chance Of catch
ing up in the near future, so long as
the demand for watches, rings and
other articles in the jewclry trade con-
tinues so insistent.
This situation developed the general
ly unsupported fact that the unprece-
dented demond for watches, rings,
clocks and numerous other articles has
placed the jowelry industry, together
with the carpenters and farmers, as
leading buyers in the market for tools.

Continued refusal Of broad silk manu-

merchandise for spring delivery re-
strlcted sales. There were a number
out of town buyers, including some
large Jobbers, seeking goods, but their
requests were usually met with the
statement the spring prices will not be
established for a few DAYS. Prospective
purchasers were told that their orders
could be placed tentatively and later
when prices were made. could be entered
permanently If quotations were salts

arrangement was satisfactory to the
buyers.
Some of the larger jobbcrs were wont
to predict higher prices for certain
fabrics before the first of the wear.
The strike of Paterson dye workers and
the tremendous cuts in production, they
SAID, would be reflected in advances for

to light demand. 1t was believed that,
buyers have acquired what they regard
a sufficient stocks for time and pur
chasing will continue light in volume
for few days. No price changes were
reported. but it is assumed that quota
tloiis will be reduced if buying remains
limited for any length of time.
There was little change in the local
market from that Of the preceding dav.
Mills continued to show reticcncc in
their purchases and confined them TO
light quantities, sufficient to cover a
short period OF weaving. Dealers have
not lost their optimism in the face of
light business during the month of
August and maintained their belief that
revival will occur before the last of
the month.
