Turkey and Cured
Beef Are Scarce

America must eat sparingly of tur-
key and cured beef, but it may satisfy
its appetite for other meats and poul-
try without fear of exhausting the
stocks of our meat markets. if statis-
tics compiled by the United State Blu
reau of Markets may be taken as an
accurate index of supply.
The quantity of frozen poultry in
the 800 cold storage plants for which
comparison is available was 4s,367, 1874
pounds, or over ~ per cent larger
on February / than a year before.
Stocks of frozen and cured meats in
creased about 235,000,0 pounds, or
23 per cent, in the same period. The
increases are remarkable in some in
stances. There is now available, the
figures snow 93.7 per cent more lamb
and mutton, $50 per cent more frozen
pork, 1l9.2 per cent more lard. and
94.6 per cent more fowls.

The servant problem is helping the
manufacturers Of house dresses and
bungalow aprons. Because housemaids
and kitchen workers are hard to OBJ
tain, more women are doing their own
homework, and the house dress
or bungalow apron is the most
convenient garment for the WON
en- to wear while working about
the house. Shince these garments
arc being made for the mis-
tress of the house rather than the
maid, they are of better material and
are more lavishly trimmed Cotton
fabrics are used almost exclusively, so
he prices are fairly high. The high
prices, though, are not retarding sales,
as the garments are sold more on their
style and appearance than they are
on the intrinsic value Of the fabrics
used in their makeup.

are counselling merchants to purchase

Leather
Ne,o Schedule OF Shoe
Prices to Become Ef-
fectiUe Neat
Month

When the shoe manufacturers begin
to take orders next week for fall and
winter merchandise for delivery from
September to November, retailers will
have new scale of prices to consider
The much discussed increase in prices
will become effective on March /. NJ
q. Seaman, resident sales representa-
tive for the Burrows Shoe Company
of Rochester. N. Y, is authority for
this statement According to Mr.. Sea
man, the raise in prices has been ex-
pected for some time, and while labor
costs have something to do with an IN
crease to the trade, the raw material
market also is factor of considerable
Importance in this respect
AS an indication of how the raw ma
terial market has been on the ascen-
dancy, Mr.. Seaman pointed out that
during the past four months the price
OF calfskln to the manufacturer has
increased IL cents a foot, while during
the same period black kid has gone up
IL to 10 cents a foot; white kid 20
cents, half of this amount during the
past week. and suede Is cents foot in
the last month. With four feet of
leather being used in the making or
the average 9-inch boot and approx
mately two feet on oxfords, the i'm
portance of these increases to the
trade and the consumer can easily be
figured.
According to Mr. Seaman one of the
style features that will make its ap-
pearance in Easter season shoes will
be a five-button oxford with patent
leather vamp and a silk combination
upper. The number of buttons he says,
will be standardized; that is, all man
ufacturers will turn out oxfords with
five buttons.
The rain yesterday WAS welcomed
by the shoe manufacturers and whole
salers. 1t meant good business for
the shoe trade. Retailers, it is said,
have already met their bills for con-
signments Of rubbers and sales made
now mean clear working capital for
them. This money, it is believed, will
be used to clear up shoe accounts ana
stabilize credits for future purchases.

Livelier Bidding for
Wool by Large Mills
Increased Demand for Cloths
Indicated by Boston
Sale

BOSTON, Mass, Feb. 21.-A snappv
demand for the delaines characterized
the opening of the government wool
auction to-day. The first 18 lots of
wool, consisting of 100000 pounds,
were quickly taken. Staple quarter
blood showed unusual strength, and
the delaines relatively the same. Quar-
textbooks brought above the mini.
mum price OF the II lots of greasy
feeces, ten were withdrawn, among
them two-thirds of the fine clothing
wool. Purchases of the delaines were
divided among nine buyers, the At
lantic Mills taking the first lot at 60
cents. Delaincs brought So to 70 cents.

other purchasers were Pacific Mills,
Lothrop G. Bennett, Dewey, Gould &
Co., II. G. f. ?. Simonds, American
Woollen Company, J. II. Wheelock &
Co., Brown & Adams, Centrcdale
Worstcd Mills.
The American Wooden Company
was more prominent in buying than
in previous sales. 1t is felt in the
Boston wool trade that the woollen
mills have a good business ahead. A
26,0Oo- pound lot ofaNew York quarter
blood staple went at a low figure, SO
cents, because some of the heeces
were united. The greasy territory
woods did not move so briskly as the
feeccs and a good many lots were
withdrawn. Most of the ne medium
territory woods were bought by French
combers.
The Botany Worsted Mills and the
New Jersey Worsted Spinning Company
were prominent purchasers of these
wools, although the American Wooden
Company bought also in good weights.
The sale was regarded by the trade
as u good one, the better quality of
woods bringing satisfactory prices.

Farm and Garden Tools
Are More i1s Demand

In the hardware trade the most en-
couraging development at the moment
is the increasing demand for spring
goods, such as rakes, hoes, spades and
other implemen ts that will be needed
for farm work and garden planting.
Meanwhile winter goods, such as stoves
and lamps, which have not moved free
~ owing to the mild weather, are being
carried over.
The building strike IS curtailing the
demand for builders tools and hard
ware. The demand from the shipyards
has also contracted to small volume
Many manufacturers have on hand con-
siderable quantities of ship mauls,
broad axes, AIDES and adze handles, for
which there was large demand while
shipbuilding activities were on a war
basis.

The Tribune's Page O Business News
Buyers Though Cautious
Show More Activity
Improved Demand Follows
Price Reductions in
Some Lines

improvements discernible in trade
and industry is not wholly sentimental.
according to the leading commercial
agencies. gain in actual transac-
tions, according to "Dun's Review" has
come in those lines where price reduc-
tons have been drastic enough to
awaken the interest of buyers. The
recovery is gradual and checkercd and
there has been no departure from the
policy CT purchasing cautiously and al
most wholly for immediate necessities.
But. while operating conservatively,
buyers arc visiting the leading markets
in larger numbers.
"Dun's" list Of wholesale quotations
for the thirteenth consecutive week
dlscloses more recessons than adj
vanccs, and also that the revisions are
extending more generally into consum-
ing channels.
"Bradstrect's" reports that the more
cheerful tone noted in business
generally last week, particularly west
Of the Mississippi, is fully main
tanned. Tho improved demand has
taken "thc form of numerous rather
than large orders for drygoods, cloth
ing and other goods for spring, good
deal of this business, by the way, being
on basis Of guarantees that buyers
Of goods will be protected up to time of
shipment"
The same authority adds: "Best re-
ports come from manufacturers and
dealers III agricultural implements,
tractors and seeds; but millinery and,
TO a lesser extent, shoes and lumber
and other building materials have also
shown more life. Automobiles and ac-
cessory dealers maintain their cheerful
reports, practically all markets con-
tributing, and the jewelry trade is
claimed to be back to good normal,
with sales Of high priced goods and
precious stones especially good at large
centres"

Raw Silk Markets Weaken
American Manufacturers Are
Not Placing Orders

Demand for raw silk both in New
York and Japan is dull, and prices are
off about 20 cents pound. American
manufacturers assert that Japanese
prices are too nigh to warrant them
placing orders for future delivery
that is, from April onward. They de-
clare that in view of the downward
course taken by other raw materials
raw silk should do likewise. The new
season for Keeling silk from the
to see increased competition between
Japan and China, and possibly Italy.
In Italy the government controls sup
plies and prices for raw silk. 1t is
suggested that the Italian raw silk in
dustry must soon seek freedom from
government control so that the coun-
try may again become competitor in
bidding for Americas trade.
