Cotton gEoOEIs

Although demand fer all classes Of
cotton goods was extraordinarily active
actual buying WAS held in relatively
narrow bounds b. the lack Of offerings
from the mills. Price advances were
general, but the upward movement did
not deter visiting merchants, who were
present in the markets in large num-
bers, from cndeavoning to place orders.
1t IS hardly an eXaggeration to
state >there were two or three CUSTOM
crs for every yard OF goods Even
mixed lots Of odds and ends. particu-
larly colorod goods, were readily alb
sorbed at increased prices.
,]obbcrs transacted 4 large business
in cloths required for immediate ship
ment, and there was considerable inter
trading among those who held goods
they had bought when prices were
much lower than they are at present
Leading Eastern m&rulacturefs OF
stated that they could rot
begin to supply the demand that flowed
from cutters Of womon's dresses, man
Ufacturcrs Of mons shirts, exporters,
jobbers and retailers.
Export trade in finished products
was of good volume, and it was intimat-
ed that sales had been made for ship
ment TO Germany. Some of the mill in
tcrcsts advanced their prices for col :
orcd cloths to ! 4 cents yard BUS
mess in bloachcd fabrics was cxcep-
tionaly GOOD relative to the state of
supply Popular brands Of these cloths
were advanced to 3 cents yard,
according TO the linencss Of the fabric.
Trade in the gray or unbcachcd d
wcavcs, the basic material for nearly
al finished goods was fairly active,
being limited by the curtailed offerings
Of tho ~.
Convcrtcrs or so-callcd second hands
stepped into the breach and made what
were termed profit taking sales, these
having been readily absorbed by other
conVcrtcrs.
The PRINT cloths, GA-Gos, usually ao-
cepted as a barometer of conditions
IN the gray goods end Of the market,
sold at 1s#l cents yard, an advance
of u cent within the week, and com
pairing with the high point of 10 cents
established in the middle Of June last
wear.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-21
Chemicals

Sales in the chemical market last
week were slightly above those of the
previous week, with indications point
ing to even more active conditions.
The demand for industrial and heavy
chemicals continued to be greater than
that in other lines. though the actual
volume Of business was reported TO be
below that of other weeks
Consumers, who were reluctant to
place orders because Of the expectancy
of lower prices displayed a slightly diff
1erent attitude toward the offerings Of
the producers and bought more freely.
The continuance Of the ban on imports
OF chemicals and dyestutFs from Ger
many was held responsible in a meas
ure to this change for feeling.
In discussing the price situation
manufacturers declare that there is
httle possibility OF consumers obtain
ing chemicals under present onotn-
tions. AS it is they say several CON-
moditles are now being sold below the
cost 81 production. With an improved
hnN'ne market it is believed that
prices viii advance.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-21
urs

Raw furs continue to advance in
prlce and the manufactured garments
keep pace with them. Advances of
from 10 to 25 per cent over June
prices were noted at the million dollar
auction of the Metropolitan Fur Ex-
change here last week. The oneninr
of trade with Germany and the hich
prices being obtained for American
turs in London have stimulated the
fur auction concerns report that CON
slgnments for the coming October
brltlsh sales are larger than usual
at this period
Retailers are ordering fur garments
IN good quantities from the fur manu-
iacturers at constantly increasing
prices. Several of the manufacturing
turner's have withdrawn their road
statesmen in order to give adequate
supplles to the buyers who come to
New York to make their purchases.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-21
Ra,c Silh,

Orders for raw silk, particularly the
japanese grades, were of fair volume.
Prices, which had been ascending for
months. reacted sharply in the fore
part OF the week, but later some OF
the losses were recovered. Shinshjll

tlhng silk. descended from the record
high level of $9.65 a pound to 1915.
finally closing at $9.l5. Kansai double
extra, an organzine or warp forming
SILK, declined from $ll.65 to the
equivalent Of $1,000, this quotation be-
ing for supplies to be delivered during
the next few months. Much of the
weakness in the Japanese product was
attributed to competitive offerings of
the raw material known as Italian
classical, limited sales of which were
made on the basis of S1O.4O to $1,000
pound. Both the Northern and
Southern Chinese silks were strong in
price under good buying.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-21
Rubber

Business in plantation crude rubber
was lighter than in some time. Manu-
facturers bought little and even the
brokers refrained from trading among
themselves. Prices were adversely af
fected by the weakness in rates for
sterling exchange, which rendered it
advantageous for buyers to trade in the
markets of London and the Far East
rather than here. Prices for Para or
brazilian rubber were not affected bv
the drop in rates for the English
pound
Domestic demand for mechanical
rubber goods, particularly for tractor
oeltlng was falr. Leading manufact-
urers lntlmated that the outlook fav-
ored increased buying. Business in
solld tires for commercial trucks was
active and like statement applies to
the pneumatic tire trade. Large auto
mobile manufacturers are especially
good customers for the pneumatic
tires and the chief difficulty is TO
provide adequate supplies.
Export trade in manufactured rub
Der goods is expanding. AS the credit
situation in Europe improves and in
creased shipping facilities are sup
piled broader buying movement
will ensuc, according to the manufact-
urers. At present business in rubber
footwear is good, and as INQUIRIES
from Europe and Siberia are numer-
GUS, it is suggested that large orders
are brewing. Europe and South Amer
lca have sent in fair contracts for
tires.
Hose, betting and railroad supplies
also are in good demand for shipment
across the Atlantic Ocean.

Appns'ei

manufacturers of women's wearing
apparel experienced another busy week,
in which the out-of-town retailers
crowded the local market to place their
fall orders. 1t appears evident that
whlle the retailers are spending from
100 TO 30 per cent more money for
their fall merchandise this year than
last year. they are ordering about the
same quantity OF garments.
The manufacturers insist that prices
must increase because of the fabric
scarcity and the renewed demands Of
labor in the trade for higher wages.
The minimum wage scale adopted in
the industry has not settled the labor
question, say the manufacturers, and
further Increases are necessary to hold
the workers to their tasks Almost
every manufactured says he could use
more help than he Is able to obtain
now
Orders booked now arc for delivery
in six or eight weeks. Some manufact-
urcrs say that ten weeks delivery will
be necessary later.
The action Of some manufacturers
Of mems clothing in asking the retail
crs for advances over the prices spcci-
fed in orders for fall clothing were
protested at conference of retailers
and discussed at Il subsequent cor
terence with the manufacturers. No
decision was reached at the conference
The larger manufacturers declared
their intention of adhcring to the con-
tract prices and delivery of goods as
per order, bat the smaller producers
claim that advances will be necessary,
unless they arc 10 lose all the profits
on the business already booked and
possibly be forced into bankruptcy.

Retail jewelers. in all sections of the
country report that their sales so far
IN July are equal to and, in many cases
above those recorded in June, which,
next to December, is ordinarily the
busiest month in the year While
prices are mounting because of the
demands OF lewelry workers for higher
wages, the dealers assert that this
has not acted as brake on their
sales The demand during June for
all classes of jewelry and silverware
practically cleared out the stocks of
most retailers and the continued good
business this month has caused some
embarrassment.
Jobbers whose statesmen are on the
road with samples of jewelry for fall
sales have received reports to the effect
that orders are being booked more
freely by the retailers than ever. The
Jopbers are showing some concern re-
garding the ability of the manufacture
ers to fill their orders. Manufacturers
say the joobers have some ground for
worry on this score. as they are sorely
handicapped through the scarcity Of
skilled labor Recent increases of 20
per cent III the wages of their workers
have added another burden upon the
Jewelry producers, with those furthest
behind on deliveries being the heaviest
losers in a financial way.
In many branches of the jewelry
trade the shortage of materials has
become serious factor This is espe-
clally true with the makers OF novelty
Jewelry. Most of the limitations Of
precious stones come from Europe. and
stocks held here are rapidly diminish
ing with lenishments coming slowly
from abroad. 1t is believed that this
situation will shortly be allcviated
when imports are received more regu-
larly

Basic Metals

cumulative activity in the iron and
steel industry became more apparent
last week with the announcement that
operations in the Pittsburgh district
are running between rs to so per cent
OF capacity. Wire products, sheets,
TIN plates, bars and pipe still lead in
point of activity. In sheets and tin
plates some sellers booked in the first
hait OF July nearly double the orders
taken in the full month Of June.
The Central West, according to
figures supplied by "Thc Iron Age.
holds out the best promise in .struc-
tural steel
A broadening inquiry from all parts
OF the world marks the export market.
The United States Steel Products Com
pany, the export department of the
United States Steel Corporation, estab-
llshed new high record last week in
ITS shipments. Japan is the leading
foreign buyer Of American steel at the
moment, with indications that she is
about to embark on a big shipbuilding
construction programme
In the market for non-ferrous
metals chief interest continues to be
centred on copper. With the con-
tlnued heavy sales for foreign account
the price has been marked up to 22la
cents pound for spot copper and
some interests are asking 23 cents
Tor September deliveries. The adj
vance IN the last week has been
approximately cents, viii the ind-
cations that it may reach d level OF
20 cents pound before many weeks.

Business Money

Business firms in need of credit are
inding no difficulty in getting the re-
qulred funds. Although borrowings in
the commercial money market con4
hnued light last week considering the
heavy business turnover throughout the
country, rates were unchanged and the
average paper was placed on a 5ls per
cent discount basis. Some of the very
PRIME paper moved at 5la Outside of
New York the general rates on com.
merclal paper averaged around 5la per
cent.
Increased borrowings are looked for
in this market next month, and GER
talnly by September in view of the
general trend of business. Meanwhile,
many firms are employing q portion of
their large Liberty bond holdings as

Leather

further advances were made in the
price of fall shoes last week. while
a number of retail establishments in
me larger cities started their annual
clearance sales OF spring and summer
styles. Many of the manufacturers Of
women 5 shoes. particularly those
located IN Brooklyn, are months behind
on deliveries. due to disorganzation
OF the labor forces. AS a result some
OF them have not completed delivery
OF last spring shoes. These manufact-
urers have not advanced to the cut
ting stage in producing their fall lines.
while spring, 1920, styles have been
almost entirely relegated
Dellverles are now we'll under way

large numbers are reported in the Bos-

cause of the price situation in the raw

and prices, it is said, are unobtainable
on next springs styles. 1t was openly
STATED that fall shoes would be a third
higher in price.
There has been no deviation from
the upward tendency in the hide and

satlons on practically every item Of
Tered showed an increase during the
last week. Cafskins are esDeciallv

Manufactured leather goods are

YORK market IN mparatively large

ers coming first in the allotment of

thereby obtaining more favorable
rate than would be the case were they
10 borrow on their notes. New York
banks have not been heavy buyers Of
commercial paper. and the bulk OF the
demand has come from the interior.
The .S75,000.000 of 5i2 per cent
ninety day Ford paper was taken in all
parts OF the country, the demand for

sparingly. Some Of the jobbers are
reported to be selling goods for fut-
ure delivery against the orders they
have placed with the mills.
There are little Floating" supplies of
goods in the hands of apparel man
facturers, and less trading of mer-
chandise is apparent than in former
years, The garment makers now cut
up the cloth as fast as it is delivered
to them from the mills or the jobbers.
Goods offered by jobbers or manu-
lacturers who may have surpluses
are held at extremely high prices.
Ihls is particularly true of fabrics
suitable for the women's wear trade.
Irlcotlnes for which the mills re-
celved $3.50 a yard are now sold at
81 or more a yard.
Mil agents say that many OF the
mills Will be unable to make fabrics
Tor next spring and that the shortage
OF goods then will be even greater
than the present scarcity of fail and
winter materials. 1t is reported that
one large concern will offer cassi-
mercs which last year sold for S3.121a
yard at dollar yard more this
year.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-21
Silks

Demand for dress silks outstripped
the available supplies, the leading
mills being sold ahead for months to
come. Virtually all Of the business was
booked by the large jobbers, among
whom there was Considerable inter,
trading; Visiting buyers were numer-
ping for goods and endcavoring to un-
cover weak spots in prices.
Local garment cutters evinced q
strong inclination to balk against the
nigh prices demanded by the sellers,
put Wellnlgh empty shelves induced
them TO buy goods despite their pro-
tests. because of the paucity Of goods
speculation is rife, as result of which
prices are being forced upward. The
inslstent reports about general strike
OF the mill workers for a forty-four
hour working week being declared in
the early part of August aids specula
tive operations.
Few of the leading manufacturers
listened to the pleas Of the Willing
buyers that they be permitted TO place
orders for spring fabrics for delivery
curlng the months of January and
February next. The mill owners. ex~
cept IN isolated instances, prefer to de-
vote their attention to filing the orders
they have in hand. Owing to lack Of
full working forces, not only in the
mills but in the dyeing and finishing
pants as we'll, deliveries are backward
