Buyers From, Southwest

Silk Goods

Buying in silk goods was quiet yes
terday, many out-oftown buyers who
were on the market earlier in the week
having left for home. A number of the
leading iobbcrs reported that the edge
was slightly off the market, with local
houses purchasing only on day

Texas predominated. With these price

from the oil fields. the retailers in that
section of the country, they said, were

Ribbon manufacturers are selling
their lines for delivery as far in the
future as November, on the basis of
payment at value. Mill men reported
that not over 60 per cent of the rib

The uncertainty of the labor situa-
ton continues to cause manufacturers
concern, some of the leading mills an

Mills to Advance
Prices of Spring
Knit Underwear.
Goods Will Be Placed ON
Sale to Retail Trade Ear
lier Than Usual; Heavy
Demands Are Expected

manufacturers prices of mems and
women's knit underwear for next
spring, to be offered to the trade
within the next two weeks, will prob
ably show an advance of about So a
doxen for mems cotton union suits,
compared to last year, and from $1.50
to So dozen for women's suits. This
was the consensus of opinion brought
out yesterday at a meeting of the Knit
Goods Manufacturers of America, an or
ganization of underwear and hosiery
mills, at the Old Colony Club in the
Hotel Manhattan. Representatives of
knitting mills from northern New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio and other knitting
centres were present at the meeting.
Most of the mills in the association
sell directly to the retailer and their
product is not handled by the jobbers.
In view of the great demand that
exists for new merchandise, the manu-
facturers, for the most part, decided
rot to wait until September /, the usual
date fer displaying spring lines and
taking orders. but will make their in
it;al offerings of spring goods to the
trade on August Is. Some will even
anticipate this date and will open their
spring season next Monday.
Those present at the meeting all told
of reduced production at their mills
because of labor shortagec, shorter
working hours and the difficulty of OBJ
tanning raw materials and other sup
plies. Deliveries of fall merchandise
are delayed and many of the mills
will not be able to finish their fall pro-
duction by October or November, which h
Is the normal time for beginning work
on spring merchandise.
Spring production, according to many
Of the mill men. will be further below
normal than the fall output has been
and it is possible that the retailers
orders will be limited and that the al
lotting of goods will be necessary. The
demand for goods from the retailers
according to present indications, will
be abnormally large, owing to large

which have brought the mems clothiny 2
industry here to crisis are expected
to be taken next Monday at meeting
of the Joint industrial Council, in
which both the organized manu-
facturers and unionized workers are
represented
General discussion Of the recent de-
mands of workers in individual shops
for increases of as much as SIS a week
and of the bidding of manufacturers
for the services of operatives, despite
wage scale which was supposed to
continue throughout the present fall
manufacturing season, is said to have
brought matters to point where ac-
tion must be taken
A prominent manufacturer yester-
day said that the buyers of mems
clothing for Middle Western store
that does more than $2,O00OO0 worth
of business q year had told him that
they were considering eliminating the
New York market in their purchases
because of the general unsettled con-
ditions.
This manufacturer stated that his
workers have received 40 per cent in
crease in wages in the last two months
and that he is now paying $1,000 a
week more to his coatmakers alone
than last year, and they are producing
q much smaller quantity of garments.
Last year." he said, "the labor in
an ordinary coat cost me about Sc.
light now the same labor is costing me

Heavy Demands for Sa.
teen Feature Trading in
Cotton Goods

Optimism prevailed throughout .he
cotton goods market yesterday, es-
peciahy among the jobbers, who re-
ported that speculative TENDENCIES on
the part of the dealers have given way
to buying of a substantial, yet "sen-
sible" nature Prospects of q good
grain harvest, continuance of high
wages and active business conditions
are factors which jobbers say point to
a continuation of the demand for all
classes of goods. Buyers from all
sections of the country yesterday pur-
chased freely from iobbers, apparent
ly willing to pay top prices for mer-
chandise.
The cotton report issued by the gov
crnment, indicating a short crop, de-
veloped brisk demand for gray goods
and brokers had no difficulty in dispos
ing of the limited offerings of c6nver-
ters or spectators.
An unusually heavy demand for
sateen Innings was reported by manu-
facturers. Every mill is beseged with
inquiries and it is expected that calls
for the fabric will greatly increase as
winter approaches.
There were some inquiries from
Southwestern sources on finished
goods, but the local demand was re-
ported by converters as being COM
paratively light, most of the buyers
having completed their purchases.

u. 5. and Belgian
Officials Confer
On Credit Needs
New York Bankers Take
Part i'm Discussion of
Providing Financial and
In d ustrial Assistance

BRUSSELS, Aug 1.-Belgian indus
trial and financial needs are being dis
cussed in a series Of conferences be-
tween Belgian and American officials
The first meeting to-day was attended
by representatives. of the Guaranty
Trust Company, the National City
Bank, the American international Cor
poration and the Foreign Banking Cor
poration, all of New York, and Henry
II. Morgan. United States Consul Gen
eral; Harry Ceilings, American Trade
Commissioner, and NJ. Thys, represent
ing the Ministry of Economic Affairs.
The meeting revealed the fact that
Belgian industry has taken only S14,-
100000 of the $50,000,000 credits es-
tablishod several months ago because
to the high rate of interest The Bel
glans explain there is a great need of
longtime loan at reasonable rates.
The present exchange on the dollar
makes 45 per cent increase in the
cost to Belgian purchasers of Ameri-
can goods, and if the dollar goes to
eight francs it will mean a 81 per cent
increase.
This condition, it was pointed out,
naturally initiated against American
exports. On the other hand, the con-
dltlon or the mark at the present time
made it possible to buy goods in Ger
many more than 100 per cent cheaper
than in America.
The Bcigians asserted that if they
could not get more favorable loan
terms from the United States they
would be obliged to turn toward their
enemy neighbor. They said this was
not the course they desired to take
but that they would take it if forced
to do so. The immense opportunities
for Belgian exploitation now open to
America would then be closed.
In connection with the plan Of Frank
A. Vanderllp for refnancing the whole
of Europe, it was said here that by
the time the plan was ready for opera
ton most OF the countries, including
Belgium, will have found a solution
elsewhere.
Another meeting of the bankers and
Belgian representatives will be held

Jewelry
Clock Manufacturers Ac'
cept Only Moderate
Orders for Export

Foreign buyers have been able to
place moderate orders for clocks in
this market, though most of the lead
ing producing concerns are so over
whelmed with domestic business that
they hesitate to go extensively into
foreign trade until their labor situation
improves. Although manufacturers
have done their utmost to increase
their working forces they have not as
yet succeeded in enlarging their output
materially. and some of them are
doubtful about filling all the orders for
the fall season now on hand.
The clock manufactures have not
been disturbed by the reports heard in
the trade recently that the Japanese in
tend to enter into the clock making
business. Admitting that labor can be
had in Japan much cheaper than in
this country, the difference in the
quality of the product, the manufact-
urers say, will offset any difference in
the price at which at wholesale the
Japanese clockmakers will be able to
sell their output.

'Prices are abnormal, and there is

double the amount exported during
May, and compares with exports valued
at only $55 100000 for the entire year
of 1918. These figures, made public to-
day by the Foreign Trade Bureau Of the
Tanners Council of America, substan-
tiate reports Of the great amount Of

Gently and partly explain why prices
for leather are high.
Among the larger items sent out were

June expectations of splits, sole and
patent feathers were nearly double
those of May, while exports Of calf
skins for June were more than triple
those of May.
The value of leather brought into the
country during June showed little
change over the amount for the month
of May. About $50 100000 were brought
IN during both months. Among the
larger items imported were cattle hides,

Quebracho extract imports for June
amounting to 9,089,342 pounds show
that the trade is back to normal once
again. Because of the shipping strike
in South American ports, importations
OF this material fell off to 10000
pounds in April, but recovered slightly
during May when 100000 pounds
were brought in.
