Buyers are in the chemical market

Isetailers to Receive
Separate Fur Tax Bills
manufacturers Propose te
Make Collection on Deliv-
cry of Goods

Manufacturing furriers, except in
rare cases, do not expect to finance the
10 per cent tax for retailers, but will
collect the tax upon the retailers re-
ceipt of the goods, no matter what
terms of payment for the merchandise
may be specified on the order. The
bills for the tax are sent out separately
1rom the merchandise bills.
Earlier in the fall selling season it
was believed that some of the larger
manufacturers would undertake to pay
the tax for the retailer and to collect
il later along with the regular pay
lnents for merchandise Cancellations
and returns, it Is pointed out, would
-ead to endless confusion in such a
policy.
The manufacturer is compelled to

were cancelled or returned following

urer would lose that amount. BY hav-

eliminated. 1t is hinted that once the
retailer pays the tax he Will think

Spring DESIGNS

Sales of staple silks to local buyers
yesterday were limited, bat out-of-
town merchants placed orders for a
large yardage Most OF the buyers were
Western jobbers, and because Of their
inability to get the manufacturers to
accept additional business they had to
seek goods from local jobbing houses
\ few Of the manufacturers booked a
small number Of orders for fouiards
for use during the spring of 1920. One
of the leading novelty concerns re-
ported that considerable Of its output
of spring fabrics had already been
sold, and others stated that they were
preparing to display their spring de-
signs.
Japanese importers Of the habutai
weaves asserted that business with
them was of an exceptionally large
volume, and it was intimated that the
lack of ample supplies of the domestic
fabrics had diverted considerable Of
the surplus demand to the Japanese
traders. Consignments from Japan
were said to be sufficient to keep i'm
porters' stocks on satisfactory scale.
Estimates made in the domestic end
Of the industry indicated that trade
during the first half of this year had
increased from 33 to 80 per cent over
the corresponding period last year.
Most of the increase was attributed to
the rapid advances that have occurred
in prices, the gain in the yardage pro-
duced by the country's silk looms hav-
ing been small

L. S. Trade Scout
Going to Belgium

Latest American consular reports
from Belgium have been so encourag-
ing, concerning the possibilities of in
creasing trade relations with that coun-
try, that the Bureau of Foreign and
Domestic Commerce is sending Charles
E. Herring, Of the Washington office
to that country as resident trade com
missioner. This is in keeping with the
policy Of the Department of Commerce
of sending trade scouts to every i'm
portant business centre of the world
Belgium is said to be in need of nearly
every possible commodity which the
Anne rican manufacturer and exporter
can furnish. Such articles as textiles
ironware, machinery of all kinds, mo-
torcycles, automobiles, raw materials
clothing, shoes and foodstuffs are in
great demand.
The new trade commissioner to Bel
gium will report on all phases of in
dustrial, financial and economic reha-
biliation Of that devastated country
