Irish Linen Men Optimistic
Mill Representatives Expect Big
Sales in u. S.

Representatives of Belfast linen
mills who recently visited the United
States to survey trade conditions upon
their arrival in Ireland made fairly
optimistic reports regarding prospects
for trade in America. According to
"The Linen Trade Circular" Of Belfast
the Irish bleachers and fnishers Of
linens expect to see activity in buying
for American account. This authority
also says that prospects for exports
seem more encouraging, and that
stocks of pure linens in the hands Of
merchants have been depleted. I'M
porters who had requested the Irish
mills to hold up shipments have sent
instructions that the goods be for
warded.
Leading importers in the United
States said yesterday that buying of
colored dress linens, also art linens
suitable for needle work, was relative
ly active. 1t was likewise asserted
that demand for sheer colored hand
kerchief linens, which are used in MAX
ing shirtwaists, had improved. Con-
signments of linens from Ireland were
received on the steamship Baltic, and
these goods when broken up into lots
will Immediately be shipped to retail
dealers and manufacturers throughout
the United States.

Textiles
Cotton Goods Sales Are
Heavy, With Producers
Cutting Orders

Buying of cotton goods lost none
of its recent vigor yesterday, the larg-
est volume of business being in colored
goods and unbleached fabrics. The
number of buyers who visited the SELL
ing agencies of those concerns which
make colored goods was especially
large, and it was remarked that among
them were merchants representing
nearly every part of the United States
Some of the sales agents for the pro-
ducers of colored fabrics asserted that
new customers we're having only 80 per
cent of their orders accepted, and it
was predicted that prices were likely to
return to the levels that prevailed
during the final days of the war
In the unbleached goods end of the
market buying of print cloths at higher
prices was of large volume, and manu-
facturers of bags purchased coarse
sheetings in liberal way. Print cloths
advanced "A cent a yard, making an
increase of "a cent yard within the
last three days. Merchants who bought
at lower levels than those now prevail
ing seemed to have lost all desire to
sell goods, which, it is said, cannot be
replaced except on rising market.
Norwegian orders for colored goods
were received, and fair business was
done in drills for shipment to India,
these goods being largely used in max
ing trousers

PRESUMPTION of social activities on
an elaborate scale, and the adop-

foreshadowed at the present time by

converter of silk fabrics, says that
manufacturers Of silks are doing a
larger business now than they ever
did before, also a larger part Of this
business than ever before is for ex-
port. Not only are countries which
formerly bought most of their silks in
Europe bnying here, but recently direct
export sales to some Of the larger Eu-
ropean markets have been on a scale
to attract considerable attention.
Buyers" said Mr.. Rosenbum yes
terday, "are more concerned about
getting goods enough to supply their
trade the coming season than they are
about the prices they have to pay for
them. This is a marked reversal in
their attitude since last December
when they were wont to quibble over
prices, ana some merchants even made
efforts to cancel orders they had placed.
when prices were falling no one
cared to buy, but now that there is
scarcity of silk goods for prompt de-

Small Stocks Tend to
Hold Dozen Trade in
Silk Goods

Buying Of dress silks tapered off
yesterday, principally because of small
stocks available for immediate ship

mills were averse to taking additional
orders for fall delivery. Such con-
Germs as still are in position to ac-
cept business reported that Western
buyers placed orders for georgettes,

titles they could get
The way in which trade in spring
goods has run into season that ordi-
narily is devoted to sales of the fall
fabrics has developed a situation in
this market which is new to the oldest
mill agents in the trade
Sport silks, supplies of which are
light, seemed to be in active demand
Mills that turn out material for mems
shirts are so we'll sold ahead that fur
ther orders are not being solicited, and
current business is wholly confined to
dealings in what are called odds and
ends. The strike of express men, al
though of short duration, held up
shipments between the silk mills and
their customers.
Raw silk continued firm in price, and
the demand, particularly in the Jap
anese market, was reported as being
active.

Business M0nev

The market for commercial paper has
been very active, at least so far as the
demand for banks is concerned. Buy
ing is reported from banks all over
the country. There has keen more
buying by the smaller New York banks
in the past few days. Brokers are
selling more paper at per cent every
day, and the bulk of the paper seems
now to be going at that figure. De-
mand from New York banks has i'm
proved; an especially active demand
comes from Chicago, though dispatch
from that city yesterday reported that
the Chicago city banks themselves
were largely out of the market and
the demand was really from country
banks in the Chicago district. The
market range is now 505A per cent.

overwhelmed with orders.
"This wave of buying, which has
emanated from all quarters of the
United States, has recently been sup.
plemented by orders from foreign coun.
tries, notably England, France, Italy
Central America and Argentina. Prior
to the war three of these countries not
only supplied their own wants for silk
fabrics, but our closer neighbors went
to Europe for the bulk of their require.
ments.
"To-day the United States is in the
envlable position of being able to pro-
duce in quantity without sacrificing
quality, and besides the weaves made
by the American mills can be sold at
lower prices than the limited outputs
Of other countries.
"While it would seem as if a large
part of the foreign trade formerly
handled by Italian, French and Swiss
producers had permanently passed to
the United States, the one difficulty,
benignant one-is that domestic trade
is so large that it may be found we'll
nigh impossible to cater to the wants
of foreign customers as fully as they
might desire.
"The seemingly Unsuitable demand
for silks, besides indicating the passing
of the necessity for economizing on
wardrobes, also indicates that the peo-
pie of America are prosperous, for the
finest grades of silks are most wanted"

Orders for Shoes Larger
Despite Aduar,ce of
Prices

Despite the marked increase in IN,
price Of fall shoes, manufacturers re-
port that wholesalers are placing larger
orders for next seasons footwear than
they did for fall 1919 styles. Ship
ments of fall goods already have been
received here by jobbers and whole
salers, although quite a number Of
these concerns delayed placing large
orders until within the last week o.
so. The strike of express company
workers resulted in the accumulation
Of shipments from the shoe factoria,
at the various New York depots and
caused delay in the reshipment Of
shoes to suburban distributing point,
Manufacturers are now busy turning
out fall goods, and during the re.
mainder of the month deliveries will
be made to wholesalers and the larger
retail concerns. Starting June ] and
continuing up to about August Is
wholesalers will make delivery Of fall
footwear to the small retailers. The
latter will place the new styles on
sale about Labor Day.
Wholesalers and retailers look upon
the recent increase in the price of faf
shoes as inevitable in view Of the ris-
ing raw material market. 1t was point
ed out that in the manufacturing of a
pair Of shoes retailing at from 50 10
$40 the production cost not including
overhead had advanced as cents during
the three months from January Is to
April Is last. While reduction Of
2 cents a pair on the cost of Innings
had developed during that period, othk
raw materials had advanced the cost
OF production 48 cents a pair.
