COTTONS-High-Priced
Goods No,c on Market

High priced novelty cottons for
spring use have made their appearance
in the retail stores. The fact that
some of the fabrics will cost the con-
sumner as much as SIS or moro yard
will come as a shock to some people,
but retailers confidently expect goods
TO move freely at these prices. Cotton
will replace silk in many summer cos
tunes, according to q feeling now pre-
vailing in the trade, and manufacturers
and converters have put forth every
effort to give the cottons high quail
in silk designs are among the new
fabrics being displayed for spring,
along with printed crepes, embroidered
swiss. sheer lawns and batistes, many
Of which have been given a silken fin
ish by the mercerizing process. Not
al of these fabrics are Of domestic
origin. but retailers assert that the
American cotton manufacturers and
converters have made great progress
in the last year or two.
Manufacturers Of work clothing now
are buying heavy drills and tw1lled
cloths wherever they can find them.
Some of the mills are taking orders
quietly at prices In advance Of last
market quotations. Denims for the
overall trade also are in strong de-
mand. with few mills booking orders at
present Export orders in heavy cot
tons have been large, and the demand
for these fabrics from the mechanical
rubber and automobile trades has cut
down the available supply for the gar
mcnt industries, according to mill
agents.

.JEWELRY-Fear
SHORTAGE of SiLuertcnre

Silversmiths are confronted with the
possibility of a marked shortage of
me rchandise in 1920 because of the un-
usual demand for silverware and the
scarcity of skilled wor11men. While
prices have reached the highest point
known, sales continue in large volume.
One prominent concern yesterday
stated that buyers from the South and
West who several months ago placed
orders for what they thought would be
their requirements for the winter of
1919 and spring Of 1920 have been
forced to come back and place add
tional orders. This action was preclp-
itated, 1t was said, by the heavy call
that is now being received for all
classes Of silverware.
That the shortage Of commercial bar
silver Is acute abroad was indicated
when the representative of Norwe-
gan silversmith concern completed
negotiations with company here to
take a set Of samples to Norway. He
explained that silver was so high priced
in Norway that his company had de-
cided to abandon manufacturing and
act as sales agents for an American
house. Stocks of silverware in that
country are said to be very low

SILKS-ArtiGcial Silk
Industry Expanding

Constantly spreading uses for arti-
fetal silk are leading to the establish
ment of new fiber producing plants in
this country. The coming year will
see possibly half a dozen new plants
engaged in turning out the imitation
product. added to the four or five al
ready in operation. Plans are being
completed for the formation of com
pany which will use the French method,
in which cotton linters form the base
of the fiber. Existing plants in this
country all use the wood pulp base at
present.
The chief point that producers of
artificial silk make for their fabric is
hat in only a few cases does it CON
fict with or act as q substitute for the
ilaments spun by the silk worm. Trco-
lette and its variations are knitted

 Things will be made extremely un. pleasant, says Prochaska, for anyone found with a deer in his possession that bears evidence of having been killed before midnight Of Sept. 30.
