Leather
ClOues Are Selling Readily
At AdUanced Prices
Some Grades Scarce

Supplies of leather in the hands Of
glove manufacturers are said to be fast
nearing the point of exhaustion. Even
now, it is reported, certain grades of
gloves are unobtainable by wholesalers
and retailers. The shortage of mate
rails covers practically all lines, in
cluding lambskin, cape and Mocha, with
the supply of the latter being excep-
tionally scant.
Retailers now in the market to pur-
chase their supplies of fall gloves are
paying from $3 to IS a dozen more than
they did when they bought their stocks
for the 1918 fall season. These in
-creases, the manufacturers declare,
mean that ladies' short-length gloves
will be selling next fall from $3.50 to
$4, While the range in mems styles will
run from $3.50 to IS. Mems leather
gloves retailing at 50 a pair, in the
opinion of the manufacturers, are q
thing of the past
Stocks in the hands Of wholesalers
and manufacturers are moving quickly
with the retailers urging early deliv-
cry. 1t is believed that all available
supplies will be quickly absorbed and
that late comers in the market may not
be able to obtain gloves enough to sup
ply their trade.
Further advance in prices to re-
-tallers is regarded as possibility,
since strike among the glove workers
was avoided recently by the manufact-
urers conceding a rise in wages aver
aging Is per cent. Orders in hand
were not affected by the increase.

Textiles
Holders accept Orders
for Cotton Goods on
Higher Price

Movements in the cotton goods mar
ket yesterday were on broad scale
the upward flight in the price of raw
cotton apparently having stimulated
demand for the finished materials.
Gray or unbleached goods were sold
IN large volume by some of the mills,
the quotation of 15A cents for 64-6Os
having. induced the manufacturers to
accept business which they refused a
few days ago to entertain because
prices then did not comport with their
views.
A number of the agents for the pro-
ducers OF colorcd fabrics stated that
several jobbers were in their sample
rooms virtually beseeching them to sell
them goods for prompt shipment. A
special make of 32-inch Southern ging-
hams, which was offered on Tuesday
at ~ cents yard, was advanced to FL
cents, sales of the fabric to cutters of
dresses having been of large volume.
Small quantities of unbranded
bleached goods that had been intended
for export, and which were offered to
domestic buyers, were Immediately
absorbed. One concern advanced
prices for it's S-ounce tickings IA to
= cents yard
Converters sold considerable guam
titles Of bleached and colored fabrics
to Western md Southern jobbers.

slow call for several months, were
bought freely.

American Thermometers
Supplant German Makes

With adequate labor American manu-
!acturers OF thermometers, besides be-
ing able to supply fully the wants of
the domestic trade, are in position to
build up good export business, but,
as IS the. case in so many industries,
they are handicapped at present by the
shortage of skilled workers. The max
ing OF thermometers is mostly a hand
process, with years experience or
more necessary for the development of
skilled worker
Starting during the war period, when
German goods were shut out of the
country, the American thermometer in
dustry has shown marked advance
ment. BEFORE the war Germany con-
troiled the market here as we'll as
those in other countries, but nearly ali
OF the business formerly held by Ger
many IN South America has been pro
cured by concerns in the United States.

market, and much of the South Amer
ican business, it is predicted. will be
