THESE market quotations does not pro-
duce any more hides. We merely pay
more for hides and get no greater
quantity of leather I would not say
that the market is illegitimate or that
there is any gambling, but prices are
TOO high. The cure believe, is cur
taliment of leather production.
Extreme caution, in my opinion, is
the thing at this time and is something
every one should practice While the
demand IS heavy this is not a para
mount reason that prices should be so
high. The prime reason, l believe, lies
IN the strike in South America, which
cut down importation of hides to an
unprecedented figure. The increased
export demand is only one factor caus-
ing high prices.
THE condition to-day is not healthy
or permanent. When calfskins that five
years ago could be obtained for 18 or
20 cents are now selling for 80 cents, it
Is time the question of prices was
given serious consideration. You can
not Increase the production of hides in
a short time. Hides are unlike cotton
and other commodities, where high
prices act as an incentive for a greater
production the next season"
1t is believed that the action of this
tannery in cutting down its output of
leather will encourage shoe manufact-
urers to buy less leather and in turn
cause the retail dealers to show more
caution in making purchases

Silks
Country Vide Demand
for Silks Reflected in
Big Orders BY Trade

Business in silk goods yesterday was
OF large proportions, especially with
the principal jobbers and converters
Few of the large mill interests ac-
cepted additional orders because their
looms already are overcrowded with
work Western dealers and local manu-
facturers placed most of the orders
that were entered on the books of
jobbers and converters.
Local manufacturers of cloaks and
suits, which industry still is affected
by strike of its operatives, also
bought fair quantities of goods in or
der to insure supplies when they re-
start work. The visiting merchants
were willing to place larger orders
than the sellers would accept, par
ticularly for the fancy fabrics as dis
tinguished from the staple or plain
goods.
Travelling statesmen as we'll as out
OF town dealers reported that husi-
ness in silk goods throughout the
country has been and continues of ex-
traordinary volume, and it was stated
that buyers in general realize that
If they do not get goods at present
prices they will be forced later on to
cover their requirements at advanced
quotations. 1t was intimated that some
OF the jobbers are bent upon holding
relatively liberal supplies for greater
profits AS the mills are not in a
position to speed up production, the
trade expects to witness a continued
scarcity of the most desirable fabrics.

Raw Silk Advances
increases Ten Cents a Pound
Over Week.End

Moderate quantities of raw milk were
purchased yesterday by the manufact-
urers of finished goods. Advices re-
celyed from Yokohama by local import
ers indicated that Shinshiu No. had
advanced the equivalent of 10 cents a
pound since the close of last week. 1t
also was stated that the visible supply
Of old crop raw silk in the Yokohama
market had dwindled to 5000 bales.
Some importers professed to believe
that all of the American manufacturers
are not covered with ample supplies Of
raw stock for weaving during the
month OF July, this deduction being
drawn from the requests made by buy
ers that shipments be forwarded as
speedily as possible

JAMESBURG. Dec. NLThe annual
exercises of vhc Sunday schools of the
Presbyterian church, held Sunday af-
ternoon, attracted a good-sized audit
ence. The pastor of the church, Rev.
w. J. Il. Edgar, was in charge of the
affair. Represented II the gathering
of Sunday school workers were
scholars and teachers from the local
church and Mathcapoinx and Rhode
Hall.
Miss Mary f. Dawson, chorister,
had arranged a special musical pro-
gram hat vas a very enjoyable fea-
ture of the event. Featuring was the
solo "Gethsamena," sang by Charles
Humphreys, of New Brunswick. The
full follows:
Prelude, "Festal March," Miss Mary
Dawson; hymn, II Love to Tell the
Story" congregations; anthem, ooh

cation, Rev. w. j. b. Edgar; hymn,

well-known over the entire Presby-
terrain membership, the Rev. John A.
Marquis, D.. D., OF New York city,
General Secretary of the Missions of
the church and former Moderator Of
the General Assembly of the church
in America.
Rev. DR.. Marquis took for his text:
The Place that America Holds in
the Present Worlds History" His
words were our view of conditions as
theya re to-day and not as of yester-
day. Bolshevism and the I. w. w. were
not held responsible for the unrest of
the present moment. Rev. Marquis
said hat these two undesirables were
but criminals and should be handled
as mere criminals and that the real
offenders that have een as yet unsuc-
cessful in turning America back To
1914 were the members of the Con-
gress and Senate who were opposing
the policies.
