tions were initiated every lot of domes-
tic feeces offered to-day was sold.
There were no Withdrawals of the
greasy territory woods until lot No. 1877
greasy Texas wool was put up. While
prices generally were not excessive
they were we'll above the minimum, at
which the government orders the offer
ing withdrawn from sale. One reason
for the brisk demand to-day, it was
said, was that the government auctions,
with the exception of carpet wools
cease until next November
Fine delaines brought around 50 03 to
$2.0S pound, clean basis, considered

Trade in cotton goods yesterday was
active, the imminent signing of the
peace treaty apparently having accen-

visited the salesrooms of the leading
converters for the purpose of placing
large orders for the general lines of
cotton fabrics.
Local Jobbing concerns did robust
business with domestic retail buyers
who, while taking quantities of goods
for prompt delivery. evinced a willing
ness to purchase fabrics for shipment
three and four months hence. Con-
tronted by scarcity of merchandise
the jobbers were not keen about book
ing the more distant business.
Some of the mill agents for pro-
ducers of colored goods advanced their
prices on an average two cents a ward
They reported that export orders were
of relatively large volume. One of the
leading first hand sellers of ginghams,
after making tentative prices on their
products for the spring season of 1920,
announced that they would have to al
lot supplies among their customers.
Unfinished voiles and organdies. made
from fine combed yarns. chiefly pro-
duced by the mills of New Bedford
were sold in large volume for delivery
up to June of next year. The mills
rejected considerable of the business
offered.
1t was said that if the strike now

mills located throughout the Manches-
ter district. the principal English pro-
ducing centre, was prolonged consider

brcs probably would be thrown to the

Herman Metz Declares American Chemists Will
Solve Difficult Problem in Production, but
Meanwhile Textile Interests Need Protection

EORTY years of plodding taught the
German chemists to become mas
ters in the science of producing dye
stuffs. Four years of American initia-
tive, spurred by the exigencies of war,
has provided the United States with
chemical achievements that have sur
passed expectations. But now that
peace is near, Americas infant indus
try, so many of those who have taken
leading part in nurturing it declare,
needs tariff protection, particularly as
Germany is said to have large supplies
of dyestuffs ready to dump in this
country.
Among the advocates of a SO per
cent ad valorem duty on imported dye
stuffs is Herman A. Metz, former Con-
'gressman and head of the Metz Labora-
tories of this city. In discussing the
future of the dyestuff industry yes
terday, Mr.. Metz said:

everything that can be evolved by the

others can perform similar tasks.

Furs
Urges Separate Billing of
Tax on Fur Trimmed
Garments

Retailers are advised to obtain a
separate tax bill for the tax on fur
trimmed garments they purchase from
manufacturers, in a special bulletin
sent to members of the National Gar
ment Retailers Association.
The bulletin points out that the
manufacturer may either add the tax
to the cost of the garment or may bill
it separately. The tax on fur-trimme
garments applies only when the value
of the fur exceeds the value of any
other component material in the gar
ment.

| Interest in the students volunteer
convention at Des MoineS, Iowa, is be-
coming keener every day, according
| to James Mcpherson, secretary of the
Y. M. c.. A. here. He says reports
reaching Y. NJ. c. A. headquarters in
dicate that instead of 1000 students as
delegates it is believed there will be
many more than that
MANY colleges and universities are
clamoring for larger representation"
says Mr.. Mcpherson. >"McMinnvilie,
Oregon, with a quota of FOUR has 16
students eager to bear their own ex-
penses and go. University of Wash
ington, with quota of 54, already has
SO lined up for the trip. Washington
State College, just across the line at
Pullman, has a quota of 21 already
cared for. If the University of Idaho
sends its full quota the people of Mos
cow must wake up. 1t is up to the
good people of Moscow to see that the
University of Idaho does not fall
down. Our quota is 10 delegates. The
students will take up the matter of
providing for four at the regular as
sembly tomorrow and the churches of
Moscow are expected to take care OF
six"
Mr.. Mcpherson is very anxious to
awaken the people of Moscow to the
Importance of having the University
of Idaho fully represented at this con-
vention which he regards as one of the
most important ever held for this pur-
pose.
The matter was taken up today at
assembly and Professor Fl. T. Lewis
was selected as the faculty member
to accompany the students to the con-
vention. 1t is up to the people and
the churches of Moscow to arrange
to send at least six of the 10 delegates
and the university will try to send
four.

merciaI Bank
The American Commercial bank is
an Indian bank. It's officers, from the
president of the board of directors, are
all Indians, with the exception of the
cashier. Half of it's depositors are
Indians, and the money that goes into
it's Golfers is nearly all the product OF
the fertile Yakima valley, where the
Indians own thousands of acres. 1t is
the only bank of its kind in the United
States, and it is a good bank.
1t was founded last year by Philip
Olney, president, and a group of In
dams associated with him.
A descendant of the Yakima chiefs
and the Scotch settlers who first built
their homes in the valley, Olney is a
shrewd business man and tenacious
one He is tremendously proud OF
his indian ancestors, and it is one of
his ambitions to live up to the best Of
their traditions.
He himself owns 240 acres of land,
which he farms to the best advan-
tage. He is ever ready to loan money
to the Indian who deserves it, and
more and more of his neighbors are
coming to him to find out how he does
his work and how he can help them.
The American Commercial bank was
capitalized at $4,000, with a $1,000
surplus. 1t had on deposit June 1,
$4,000.
