Activity in the woollen goods market
was confined almost exclusively to the
jobbers, VINO are obtaining constantly
increasing prices for the small stocks
they are able to offer. Manufacturers
of both mems and womens clothing
would purchase more material for use
this fall if they knew where they could
get it, They also are casting about
in an effort TO find mills that are will
ing to take orders for next springs
goods. Some Of them report success,
but the mill agents declare that few
mills are in position TO accept orders
for next springs delivery now.
The navy's sealed bid sale Of large
Quantities Of 80 and lS ounce navy
Blue melton finished cloth failed to
bring out single purchaser, probably
because the minimums Of S. and S4.25
a yard for these materials were con-
sidered too high. Nine-ounce all wool
serge was sold by the navy for about
$3.50 yard considerably below present
market values, according to many in
the trade.
Some time next month. it is believed,
spring goods will be displayed by those
who can make them. Prices will
be the highest ever known, it is said,
as most mills are figuring their profit
tc take care of expected labor advances.
The shortened production OF light
we ght goods may lead the mills to
concentrate on the staple materials,
although efforts will be made to meet
the demand for bright colors.

urs

Manufacturing furriers are in be-
tween seasons market now, although
buying on the part Of the retailers is
well sustained. Most of the retailers
have ordered the furs they expect to
sell in their August sales and will be
ready to lay in their winter stocks in
g couple Of weeks, the manufacturers
believe In some cases the manufact-
urers who carry stock for immediate
delivery report that their racks have
been almost cleared by the retailers.
Orders are on hand sufficient to keep
the fur factories going for some time
to come.
Prices Of raw skins continued to in
crease last week under the steady de-
mand Of the manufacturers. Skin
dealers reported new advances in
skunk, beaver, Australian opossum and
similar furs which are used largely as
trimmings by the cloak and suit manu-
featuring trade The demand for these
has increased and supplies are scant.
Large foxes are in greater demand
than small skins. Some dealers report
and many in the trade predict the fox
vogue now prevalent in Paris to be
repeated here later on. Mink, especial
ly Of the high grade, dark variety, is
in good demand. The rapid movement
Of shipment of pony skins from Rus
sia seems to indicate a revival in the
use of this fur for women's coats.

Business Money

Business in the commercial money
market last week was comparatively
quiet, with rates firmly maintained.
The market continued on 51a per
cent basis for the general run of paper
with some choice names going at 5A
per cent
Borrowings by grain dealers have
been somewhat larger with the begin
ming Of the movement of the crops to
market. These borrowings will tend
to increase as the season advances If
any appreciable decline takes places in
the price of cotton, the cotton con-
verting houses are expected to enter
the market with their bills. AS it is,
these borrowings have been light for
weeks
with which goods are being turned
over collections are better than they
have been in years. This makes it un-
necessary for many firms which ordi-
narily would be putting out long line
of paper to enter the commercial
money market
With the call money market holding
firm business in bank acceptances has
been slack. Dealers in such bills are
carrying a great deal more in their port
folios than they would under normal
conditions, for the reason that the
banks are not buying acceptances be-
their funds to better advantage Last
week there were reports of negotia-
tlons for the establishment of German
and English. acceptance credits here
the proceeds to be used in the pur-
chase Of cotton and other commodities

American Imports
To Be Favored in
Italy's New List
Demand for Z. S. Shoes
Strong; Movement Begun
to Build Tariff Wall
Against the German Trade

ROME, July 2T (By The Associated
Press The Italian War Trade Board
has abolished many restrictions on i'm
portations. The list of commodities
allowed to enter Italy, to be published
soon, Will undoubtedly be most liberal
as regards American products. AL
though there may be many articles pro-
hlolted, pre-war conditions will be es-
tabAshed as nearly as possible.
1t IS anticipated that leather will be
near the top of the new list, as the
public is clamoring for American shoes,
wartime stocks being antiQuated, shop
Luzzatti, formerly Italian Premier, in
q statement to The Associated Press,
predicted tariff wall against German
imports to prevent sudden avalanche
of German products into Italy.
AT present." Senator Luzzatti said,
the Germans have a big advantage in
money exchange, but despite it they
Will find snag in Italy. The Ger
mans will try to food Italy with cheap
goods and there is a good market here
for their products, but this market
must be taken up by the Allies. Amer
lca IS IN g strategic position to start
trade with Italy on q gigantic scale"
Inc government IS making every ef
fort to restore to a prewar status
Italian-America relations Continu-
Gus conferences are being held between
the commercial staff of the American
Embassy and the Italian Ministry of
Commerce. The coal situation has at
tracted especial attention and the
Americans have been furnished with
figures on Italys needs in order to be
able to answer if they can relieve the
threatened tie-up Of Italian industry.

Cotton and Grain

Cotton prices last week moved wildly
TO and fro, like breakers in q stormy
sea. Now they were down, now up, and
now down again. After week of ir-
regularity prices showed net declines
The weakness of sterling exchange
caused violent slump on Monday,
which was recovered on Tuesday and
Wednesday.
Later in the week the forces making
for lower prices wrestled with those
which took more optimistic view of
the trend, and the former influenced
he market more effectively An i'm
rrovement in weather conditions helped
tre hears"
Market operators and cotton trade
interests are awaiting with much con-
cern the government crop report, which
IS due next Friday. The opinion is
widely held around the ring that the
ohcial estimate will boost prices, al
though it is now believed that it will
have less influence than expected q
week ago.
In the wheat market reports of dis
appointing yields of winter wheat are
tending to put prices higher-above the
minimum fixed by the government. The
corn and oats markets are weather mar
kets, with prices firm In tendency

Rubber

Early in the week trade in planta-
tion crude rubber was adversely af-
fected by the sharp fluctuations in
rates for sterling exchange. When it
WAS discovered that the English pound
for future use could not be obtained
ut the rates prevailing in the open
market, prices for crude rubber ad-
vanced onehalf to one cent pound
Business, which had been quiet, ex-
pandcd as the week drew to its close,
principally as the result Of buying by
the manufacturer of automobile tires
Mechanical rubber goods for do
mestic use seem TO be in fnir demand
and the large manufacturers intimate
that export trade is increasing. De-
mand for tires Ia characterized as Of
overwhe Inning volume, the large do
mestic buying being supplemented by
considerable export business. One Of
the manufacturers outside Of the So
called "Big Four" reduced prices 5

Sales of Knitted Woollen
Fabrics Show Increase

Knitted woollen fabrics of various
types are increasing in popularity
MANUFACTURERS of these materials are
making strenuous efforts to increase
their productions but are handicapped
by the inability to get sufficient guam
titles Of yarns. Immense strides have
been made in knitted textiles within
the last few years and some Of the
materials now on the market cannot
be distinguished from high grade
woven fabrics except upon the closest
inspection. They are used success
FULLY for women's coats, suits and
dresses and for mems overcoats, sports
jackets, caps and knickerb rbockers.
Some mems clothing manufacturers
have endeavored to make long trousers
OF this material, but its springiness
prevents its holding q crease.
In many quarters of the trade it is
predicted that as soon as the present
paucity Of yarns and labor is allevi-
ated knitted fabrics will make more
rapid strides than any other clothing
material.

Apparel

All lines of women's apparel for fall
advanced in price because Of the in
sistent demand by retailers who are
laying in their stocks and the scarcity
of fabrics Manufacturers of both cot
ton and silk underwear say that few
orders can be taken for delivery before
the first Of next year. Waist manu-
facturers report exceptionally heavy
buying, and say the retailers are driven
into the market more frequently than
ever because of the rapidity with which
stocks move into the hands Of ultimate
consumers, even at present high prices.
The shortage of silks has curtalled pro-
duction among the waist men, and sales
are limited in most cases to accounts
of long standing on the books Of manu-
facturers.
Fall buying of coats, suits and
dresses passed through its third heavy
taiers appear to be buying all the mer
are said to be operating more con-
servatively. This is attributed by some
to the fact that the smaller concerns
have not sufficient capital to make
large purchases at the new price levels.
Coats and dresses are in greater de-
mand than suits, it is said. Several
of the larger manufacturers report that
they have almost sufficient orders on
their books now to use UP the fabrics
they have in stocks and on order with
the mills
Retailers say that their future buy
ing policies will be determined largely
by the attitude of their customers
when the goods are offered for sale.
# the shopping public rebels at high
prices and refuses to purchase, the re-
,ailers will be chary of ordering more
merchandise, no matter how scarce it
nay be.
Complaints were heard last week
chat the manufacturers of women's
clothing are demanding advances over
the order prices before delivering the
goods. Similar complaints have been
prevalent in the mems clothing trade
for some time. The National Retail
Dry Goods Association proposes to list
the manufacturers who pursue such a
policy and bring pressure to bear to
relieve the situation for their mem

y. 5. College Men
Are Europe's Chief
Need, Says Lamont
Tells Harvard Alumni
Brains and Not Money
Are Sought; Plans Laid
for Endowment Drive

Thomas ". Lamont, who was fnan-
cial adviser to the American Peace
Mission at Versailles, told an audience
OF Harvard men at q luncheon in the
club rooms Of the Downtown Associa-
ton yesterday that what Europe
wants more than anything else from
the United States is talent for the
great work of reconstruction. 1t rests
with the American universities. Mr..
Lamont said, to meet this demand for
men.
The luncheon was the occasion of
work in conjunction with the Harvard
Endowment Fund campaign for sl1.-
100000, of which Mr. Lamont and
Eliot Wadsworth are joint chairmen.
Throughout the country fifty other
committees were at work on the same
purpose.
Mr. Lamont, who is to be chairman
of the New York committee, told Of
a conversation he had with one Of the
European premiers at Paris.
What is the most urgent need Of
Europe ?" Mr.. Lamont asked the Pre-
mier. as it credits?"
Ihe Premier answered:
More than credits, we need your

and to guide US in the era that is to

''As much as any other institution.
Harvard has fulfilled this function in
the past" Mr. Lamont said. at re-
mains for US, with the Harvard
Alumni and the friends of Harvard, to
put Harvard II position to equipt
young men for this new destiny.'
Mr.. Wadsworth described conditions
under which Harvard and college pro
tessors in general must work and live.
Not since 1906" Mr.. Wadsworth
said, has there been any increase IN
the pay Of these high-minded men.
That the financial condition Of Har-
ward is not more serious is due to this
economy made at the expense Of the
teaching staff
Salaries under present conditions
are raised about $500 every five years.
After twenty-five years professor
wlll reach the salary of $500 but that
is the ultimate goal. In the situation
now there is hardly a single professor
VINO could afford to send his bow
through college to-day"
We depend upon New York. which
was the mainstay Of all financial help
during the war, to be the backbone OF
the Harvard drive for sll ,00O, ,00O."
JohN w. Prentiss, jr., treasurer OF

Past Week Quiet in
Print Cloth Market
Mill Men Refused to Close
Contracts Pending Labor
Settlement
Business Ne1Us Bureau
Spcctdi Corresr0ndsrre

FALL RIVER, July 27.-The week
Just passed has been one OF the quiet
est Of the year in the print cloth mar
ket, the total sales aggre eating $4,000
pieces, which is cons iderably below
production and small compared with the
weekly average Of business for the
past three months.
IN the early part of the week there
was practically no trading, owing to
the mill men refusing to close any
contracts until they knew the outcome
OF the labor trouble which threatened
to shut down the whole of the mills.
The trouble has since been adjusted
and the striking dotFers have returned
to work, following the Conference held
between President John Golden of the
United Textile Workers and the mill
men.
Toward the end Of the week manu-
facturers were inclined to meet the de-
mands made for practically all STYLES
OF goods for deliveries during the next
three months, prices continuing to
mold steady and unchanged from the
record prices established last week.
The quotations are as follows: Thirty
elght and one-half inch, 64xsO. I9
cents; 39-inch, 56x44, IS cents; 27-inch,
64X6O II cents; 27-inch, 56x52, 1O12
cents; 25-lnch, 54x44 10 cents
New-York tribune., 1919-07-28
Silk Goods

Wet weather during the fore part
Of last week reduced business in dress
silks, but later when the skies cleared
buyers focked into the display rooms
OF the leading jobbers. Az a result
trade expanded and prices for the more
popular weaves advanced. Owing to the
high prices demanded by the sellers
the buyers INDUCED in considera b e
shopping, which operation failed to un-
earth many bargains. In many in
stances the lack Of stable stocks COM
PEELED the jobbers TO cut down the
quantities allowed 70 any one custom
er. Some buyers sent in requests that
goods be reserved for them, but in mos t
cases these were ignored on the ground
that supplies were 80 limited that no
favors could be shown.
Many representatives Of out-of-
town jobbing concerns were in the
market for the purpose Of surveying
prospects for next spring, and to give
orders 70 such manufacturers as were
willing TO take them for delivery after
the turn Of the new year. AS a rule
the leading manufacturers Of the staple
fabrics are averse to accepting bust
ness for far future delivery. This pol
icy arises out Of the belief that prices
viii continue TO mount upward because
Of higher costs for labor, raw material
and fuel
Deliveries from the mills are said
10 have improved, but the dye shops
ssill are weeks behind their schedules
IN making shipmcnts OF such weaves as
blacks and navy blues, which colors are
in demand. Manufacturers Of the staple g
fabrics are busily engaged in perfect
ING their designs for the spring Of
1920. There IL an impression that yel-
low, green and the copper shades Of
red viii be in strong demand this win
ter for evening wear. and probably for
spring frocks too.
Mills that specialize in shirtings have
made large sales for delivery UP to
March Of next year, and in few cases
orders have been taken an far ahend
An the month Of June.
