Trading in Cotton Trade

There Is tradition in the cotton
goods trade that when China begins to

Gently in this market. An expert in
foreign trade in textiles is authority
for the statement that South American
countries, Africa, Australia and the
Far East need goods and once foreign
buyers are assured that prices have
reached bottom it is probable that a
Jorge amount of export business will
be transacted. Exporters arc not fight
ing for trade IN Belgium, Spain, France
and England, it 10 said, because those
countries are expected eventually to
get back to their forMor positions as
producers Of cotton goods. The point
is made that 1t would be useless for

Fair Sales of Toys
Doll Makers Book Large Orders
for Next Season

The first week of the buying season
in toys has resulted in fair sales, but
on the whole retail dealers are doing
more looking around than buying.
Prices are high because raw materials
were bought on the basis Of wartime
quotations. Dolls, representing rs per
cent of the trade, are proving more at
tractive to buyers than other products
and it is reported that jobbers of the
United States and Canada have bought
enough to keep some of the factories
busy until the next holiday season
sets in. "War babies" are being feat
ured.
Almost 1000 manufacturers of dolls
and other toys are located in New
York and Brooklyn, the industry hav-
ing received considerable impetus from
the passing Of Germany and Austria
as sources for supplies.
The exhibit of toys at the Hotel I'm
perial, Thirty-second Street and Broad
way New York, will continue until
March Is.

Pig Tin Price Drops After
Chinese Celebrate New Yea,

American dealers in pig tin, taking
their cue from the London market. be-
lieve the price of tin will drop from
30 to so per cent as soon as the re-
strictions on its importation have been
removed. They base their belief on the
fact that the price of the metal dropped
$40 per ton in London, both for i'm
mediate and future delivery, last Thurs
day, Immediately after the Federated
Malay States government rescnded its
agreement to buy all the tin produced.
in order to hold up the price. One
prominent American importer explained
the situation as follows:
Just before Chinese new year noli-
days the demand in the Straits Settle
ments for tin was so light, because
OF the absence of American orders,
that the Federated Malay States gov
ornment considered it wise to agree to
purchase all tin ores and concentrates
on the basis Of 9246 per ton, tie ruling
London tin price. The reason for this
step at that time was a desire on the
part Of the government to assist the
Chinese, who control the tin mines. in
settling their debts, as is their custom
at that time of the year.
The Malay government, now that the
holidays are over, has cancelled its
agreement as to ores, with Che result
that the price quoted on London last
Thursday was 1926 per ton, c. !. f

arrangement may he entered into with
French merchants after the treaty of
peace is signed. This borrowing for
reconstruction abroad may begin to
absorb a sufficient amount of banking
funds during the next few years as
to keep at comparatively high level
the rate at which American business
will have to borrow.
Rates throughout the week have
ranged from 5051a per cent. The

More Paint Wanted
I'm Hongkong Market

Paint manufacturers expect to re-
ceive large orders for their product
this year from Hong Kong, China. Last
year, according to report from George
f. Anderson, American consul general
for the district, the Hong Kong trade
in paint was below normal. Imports
from Great Britain were small, and
while American paints were received
in larger quantities than usual FIRE light
difficulties prevented proper distri-
button. Now, owing to the drop in
imports, stocks have been reduced to
the point where the need of replenish-
ment is Imperative
Japanese manufacturers succeeded in
placing considerable paint in the Hong
Kong market, but in the opinion of Mr..
Anderson they will not be able to re-
tain this business, because the Japan
csc paints, so far, have not met the
special requirements of the Hong Kong
trade These call for product able
to withstand the peculiar conditions of
climate and weather. The British paint
makers have long unde rstood what
these requirements were, and in the
last few years American manufacture
ers, by making careful study of the
market have succeeded in building up
a large trade.
Imports Of paint into Hong Kong last
year were valued at 100000 in gold
while exports were valued at over ST.

Millions of Nickel
Coins Shipped to Serbs
Active American Manufacturers
in Business of Exporting
Money

One Of the largest manufacturers
of silverware in the United States
has just shipped to Serbia millions
of nickel coins which have been
struck off in American plants during
the past few months. The same manu-
facturer is now making coins of the
same material for other countries.
and expects to ship them in the near
future.
The coinage for Serbia is entirely
new and was arranged for by a
Serbian commission early last year
before there was any thought of a
cessation of hostilities.
This proves" said representa-
tive Of the silverware producer yes
terday, that in the midst of war
Serbia was preparing for peace and
the resumption of economic life at
the earliest possible moment. We
have turned out millions Of 5. 10
and 20 para nickel coins, and these
are now on the way to Europe"
l. was explained that Serbia was
forced to go to a foreign country in
order to procure its new coinage be-
cause she has neither the metal, ma
chinery nor the men to turn them
out, and as the other European coun-
tries were unable to handle the work,
1t had to be done in this country.
Operations on making the coins were
begun last February, and, with ma
chimes turning them out at the rate
Of 500 minute, working night and
day, it took three months to COM
plete the order
