While the demand this week for dry
goods to be sent abroad has been very
brisk, shipments have been limited on
account of the dock strike.
Indictments for violating tho food
and clothing control act may be expected

than during the two preceding weeks,
but this buying was reported almost en-
tirely by iobbers, manufacturers gener-
ally complaining Of lack of customers.
Brazil imported $4,000, 900 worth Of
automobiles and motor parts from the
United States during the fiscal year
ended June 80, 1919, the Department
of Commerce announced yesterday. This
is an increase of 35 per cent over the
value of 1918 shipments, though the
total number Of machines sent to Brazil
was per cent less than last year.
Reports have been received from Con

arohos, as applying TO the colonies OF
Martinique, Guadeloupe and Reunion,
is extended to all the French colonies

TEXTILE MILLS ARE BUSY
Operating at Full Capacity and Well
Supplied With Future Orders

The textile mills in Philadelphia are
well supplied with orders and are
working to full capacity, according to
the weekly review Of trade for the local
district by r. G. Dun & Co. While
hampered to some extent by labor trou
bles, conditions are satisfactory.
Dealers in yarns report trade is be.
coming more active with higher prices.
There appears to be a good demand for
most all grades.
The review, continuing, goes on to
say;
Manufacturers Of shirts find il
! difficult to obtain sufficient materials
to fill orders. Prices are high. Makers
! Of mems and boys clothing are well
sold up. They also complain of
scarcity of piece goods.
THE hardware line remains active
in all its branches, with good de
mand for all grades of material, and
| it is believed the volume of business
being done will equal that for several
years previous. Prices remain firm and
collections good.
'"rhc demand for stoves and heaters
continues heavy. with manufacturing
plants operating at reduced capacity
because of labor troubles and Difficult
ties in obtaining raw material and
supplies The demand in all lines is
good and building operations. together
with household demands, keep the mar
ket active:
"The leather market continues ac-
tive and prices remain firm. Glazed
kid manufacturers report good de-
] 4 f.. all tpI
at o higher price and difficult to OBJ
tain. Shoe dealers are doing an active
business. Considerable difficulty is ex
perenced in filing orders owing to in,
ability TO obtain prompt deliveries from
manufacturers.
"Thc condition of the cement market
shows little change. Manufacturers
report a fair amount of business being
done. although there have been very few
large contracts placed and prices are
inclined to be little high.
'"The chemical market continues
fairly active. there being = good de
mand in all lines. The situation in
Gyestuffs remains about the same. and
being used and buying is principally
for immediate needs, prices continue
high,
The paper market shows little i'm
provement. Manufacturers and jobbers
report fair amount of business being
done. but there is little marked in
crease in volume of sales. Prices arc
inclined to be little high.
Paint. manufacturers. dealers in
paints and painters supplies report
steady increase in this line of bust
ness. Purchases are in fair quantities
aud represent all grades of material.
1t is believed that the volume of bust
ness being done will exceed that for
the same period of 1918. Prices re
main firm and collections good.
Wholesale grocers are fairly active,
with business good. Retailers are re
! plenshing their stock owing TO deliv-
cries being tied up on account of the
teamsters' strike. Prices are still high
and firm
Coffee market is irregular, with lit
tie selling owing TO Brazilian cables.
Spot is quiet, with prices firm. Tea
is fairly active. with prices firm and
unchanged. Collections are good.
Sugar supplies are small and the
market rules firm, with demand ac
| tive. Refiners are. behind on orders
and little new business is accepted.
