Varied Phases Of Finance and

Fine Yarn Cotton Goods
Sell Readily on Firm
Price Basis

Dealings in cotton goods yesterday
were of good volume despite the OBJ
scrvance Of the Good Friday holiday
by many in the trade. In the morning
gray or unbleached goods were bought
quite literally. but in the afternoon
trade receded, because many buyers left
the city to spend the Easter week end
out Of town. The most noteworthy
feature was the continued big demand
for fine yarn gray cloths suitable for
making voiles. organdies and lawns, for
which the mills wci. said to be asking
higher prices
The print cloth fabric called 64-G0s
sold At IL cents a yard, while 68-72s
brought 12SA cents, with some Of the
mills asking 13 cents, and S0-60s were
quoted at 1872 to II cents a yard. One
Of the leading sellers Of Southern So
inch sheetings advanced prices !. Of a
cent yard
Mail orders for colored cottons
cai!ed for large quantity Of these fab
RIGS, and a prominent manufacturer Of
fancy fannels announced that his en-
tire output had been sold for delivery
up to October l. Bleachcd fabrics were
bought in a way that satisfied the mill
agents, jobbers and garment manu-
factureTs being the best customers
Most Of the buying was for delivery as
soon as the goods can be turned out by
the mills.

Advancing prices in furs seem TO

rpally bccausc Of the possibility Of
the repeal Of tho fur tax. Every fur
bought from manufacturer now bears
10 per cent tax and the retailer
merely adds this TO his cost price
and passes If on TO his customer.
" mile the tax is said to have had no
erect on sales over the retail coun-
tcrS so far, the retailer does not wan,
10 stock up with taxed merchandise
If there 5 a possibility that the tax
may be eliminated soon
he greatest demand at present is

from acting. This condition may cause
sellers to proceed with caution in fill

Despite his rather gloomy survey Of
prospects for export trade IN manu-

England, Mr. Iarrabee said that Amer
leans should realize that it viii take
years for the industries Of those coun-
tries TO work 90 normal, and meantime
some trade advantages are certain 20
accrue to manufacturers in the United

"As a people," Mr. Larrabce added

credit to the private and public enter
priscs of England, France and Italy.
We must invest some Of our surplus
money savings in the long term obliga-

Need of Raiment i,1 Europe
Mitiguted BY Plying Needle
Knit Goods Man Says People Injured to " ar Priva.
tions Are Content to K eep on Nlending Until the
Problems Bigger Than Clothes Are All Settled

GOTTON garments of all kinds are
urgently needed by the people Of
the European countries, but for the
present the question Of clothes with
them is subordinate to the more
weighty problems pressing Cor solu-
ton, according to Benjamin r. LARA
bee, jr., vice-pres OF Charles Chip
man Sons Company, Inc, manufacturers
Of hosiery and underwear.
Il was impressed said Mr. Larrabce,
who recently returned from ten weeks
trip to the business centres Of France,
England and Italy, with the favorable
opinion the people of those countries
have Of American goods and methods
Of doing business. But so many com
plcX problems other than that of sup
ply and demand must be worked out
that it is we'll nigh useless to expect
England, France or Italy immediately
to favor us with large orders for
manufactured textiles. The need for
hosiery, underwear and other goods
made Of cotton is great, but people
who have become Injured to nriVatlon
by more than four years Of war know
how to patch and darn, Instead Of per
feet ralment they are thinking Of how
to get steady employment, how to get
women back to domestic duties. and
how to meet the burdensomc taxes I'M
posed by war. 1t is essential for those
countries to turn their industries once
more to making things wanted in peace
times Until this is accomplished l
think they are justified in prohibiting
imports of manufactured textiles
In order to improve conditions Eng

port trade, and bills have been passed

Orders We're placed in this market
yesterday for considerable quantity
OF tall silks. Most Of them were re-

servance Of Good Friday restricted
buying of spring fabrics from stock.
Few visiting merchants appeared at the

terlals is almost over, and the only
business the selling agents anticipate
from now on is hat which is commonly
designated filing in orders. They are
turning their attention to the selling

Travelling statesmen are reported to

in inducing retail dealers to place
orders for iall goods. Ii was said that
Easter business with final distributors
has been OF large proportions in every
section OF the country, chiefly because
Of the resumption of social festivities
following the suspension OF hostilities
There was some talk yesterday about
manutacturers being disposed to ask
higher prices for the comparative'y

their shelves. Quotations for the bet

advanced. and il was intimated thai
even higher levels prevail as the new
buying season advances. Raw silk was
bought quite literally, but the alb
