High Price Paid for
Californian Wool
Buyers at Government Auction
indifferent to South
African Grades

BOSTON, May 2o.-Owing to the
poor quality of the offerings 66 out
of the first $50 lots of secured wool
offered at the government auction to-
day were withdrawn. Many lots sold
at the upset price to a cent above
Cape woods sold we'll at the start, but
afterward buyers allowed many lots
to pass without bids despite the good
quality of the offerings.
Much excitement attended the sale
OF lot consisting of about 10000
pounds of Glow double A" super Cali
fornla wool, for which bids started at
sl.l0 and ran up to $1.38. Keen bid
ding was also in evidence for neu-
tralled Texas wool carbonized by the
acid process. The attendance of buy
ers was small In all about 100000
pounds of wool were offered.

Rubber
Recloin,crs Of Scrap Rub
Der to Begin Manufact-
ure Of Various Lines

Because Of constantly decreasing
prices for crude rubber and the con-
sequent falling off in the demand for
their product several reclaimers of
waste rubber are said to be turning
their plants over to the manufacture
Of rubber goods. During the war, when
the government embargo on the i'm
portation Of crude rubber greatly cur
tailed stocks here the reclaimers sold
large quantities Of their product to the
rubber goods manufacturers. Since
the signing Of the armistice, and par
ticularly during the last few months,
crude rubber prices have been drop
ping, and record shipments from the
Far East have bocn coming into tho
United States. Tho result has been
that rubber goods manufacturers are
able to buy crude rubber at prices that
do not encourage them to take any in
tercst in tho offerings Of tho reclaimers.
1t was said yesterday that until the
price Of scrap rubber is reduced 30 that
reclnimers can turn out their product
at much lower cost, there will be no
Improvement In tho sale Of the re-
claimed product

Metals
Copper Producer Says
Sales Are in Excess
OF OutDgtt

Copper prices were maintained yes
terday at 16@ cents a pound for all
deliveries up to July. Copper for July
delivery was sold in small amounts at
1864 cents a pound. Trade reports,
which could not be confirmed by the
leading agencies, were TO the effect
that sellers were holding August copper
for II cents a pound and better
The representative of an important
the copper market position is the most
favorable since consumption fell off
after the signing OF the armistice "W
are selling slightly more copper a day
at the present than our mines are pro-
ducing OF course. like all of the cop
per companies, we are carrying a huge
surplus of the metal, but if the de-
mand continues to expand as it has
since the first Of the month. we should
soon begin to cut into our surplus
stocks"
Another month should see the begin
ming of the extension of dollar credits
to foreign countries on a large scale
by the American banking groups AS
soon as these credits are made avail
able, it is expected that portion of
the proceeds will be expended for cop
per and other metals. Revival of the
export demand for copper coming on
top of the broadening domestic de-
mand, will, in the opinion Of the trade
help matters greatly.

Europeans to Study
American Industries
French Mission First to Accept
Invitation to Visit This
Country

WASHINGTON, May 20.-A French
industrial mission is coming to the
United States in the fall as the result
of an invitation extended to the French
government by the American repre-
sentatives Of the Chamber of Com
merce Of the United States now in
Paris. Similar invitations have been
extended to all the governments allied
with the United States in the war in
compliance with the unanimous action
by the chamber at the meeting re-
Gently held in st. Louis.
The foreign industrial leaders while
here will be guests of the chamber
ond will be escorted to all the large
industrial centres Of the nation in an
effort to thoroughly inform the
visitors Of American resources in a
commercial way. Out of the con-
terences to be held here commercial
intercourse in the future between this
nation and European countries is ex-
pected to be facilitated.
The Paris representatives of the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States which extended the invitation
include E. A. Filene, of Boston, a. e.
Bedford and Thomas Lamont, OF New
York, and f. G. Miner, of Rochester,

Price OF Soda Ash Is
Hig5aer-Tasaners Buy
EPSON Salts

Apparent scarcity of spot supplies
and increased export demand have re-
suited in further advance in the price
of caustic soda. Japan continues TO be
the heaviest buyer. There is a growing
demand for soda ash, and the price has
been raised about 10 cents per 100
pounds. Bichromate of soda continues
inactive. While producers are still
naming 8 cents for standard brands,
second hands are offering concessions.
Citric acid is unsettled Keen COM
petition among jobbers is forcing the
price down. Epson salts is shade
firmer. The technical grade, selling
as low as cents pound, is being
disposed of in fair-sized quantities
among the tanners. Demand for 60
deg. silicate of soda has fallen off and
offerings of this grade are freely made
at S3.25 per hundred, delivered. SPOT
stocks of bichromate of potash are
relatively small, but there has been no
advance in price. Sales of several
hundred tons of sulphate of copper for
export are reported at shade under
cents pound

Silks
Business in Silk Goods
Restricted by Scarcity
OF Oferings

Silk mills that still have fall fabrics
to sell did an active business yester-
day, but as most Of the mills have
placed the bulk of their prospective
outputs under contract, transactions
perforce were limited. Some of the
selling agents said they were com
PEELED to submit orders to the mills so
as to learn whether the manufacturers
could promise deliveries. The advanc-
ing price of raw silk naturally renders
the mill owners cautious about taking
any more business than they can prof
itably handle. Besides, there is a good
deal of uncertainty about the attitude
of labor. In view of existing condi-
tions, the leading mill agents are not
courting the visits from buyers.
Jobbers who are fortunate enough
to have goods in stock reported that
many buyers were in their stores shop
ping for goods for immediate and
near future delivery, but even the job
bers are short of supplies. Many Of
them expressed regret that they had
permitted themselves to sell goods
out quickly in order to make a quick
turnover in profits.

Further A d ga nces in
Prices OF Cotton
Goods: Stocks L01U

Although buyers of cotton goods
were prone to complain about the
sharp advances in prices, they con-
tinued yesterday to evince an almost
Unsuitable desire for fabrics. As many
or the mills have withdrawn numerous
lines OF goods from sale, especially
where colored products are concerned,
bookings Of orders tapered off a little.
Bleached goods were in brisk de-
mand, and one of the leading commits
SION houses advanced prices for lawns
aud tine cambrics | cent yard. Deal
lngs IN the unbleached goods division
OF the market were of large proper
tons, and prices again advanced Il
to 12 cent yard, making an increase
of e cents yard within the past six
days. Buyers also found that the mills
DID not seem anxious to take orders
where delivery dates were stipulated
as condition of the contracts.
A number of the commission agents
confessed that they would prefer to
see prices advance less rapidly, but
others asserted that the present buy
ing movement had been engendered bv
we'll founded fears of scarcity of
goods. 1t was said that production in
the South had been cut down bv the
elimination of night work at MANY Of
Te mills. and it was asserted that
some of the mills in North Carolina
were wholly closed, because the mill
owners had decided to discourage the
efforts of labor agtators to unionize
the workers.

.Jewelry
JeWelry Manufacturers
Report Shortage OF Good
Sen2i-PreciOliS Stones

Semi i-precious stones of the better
grade are hard to obtain, according to
jewelry manufacturers. They say that
there is an appreciable shortage of
moonstones, amethysts and green tour
malines, which is holding back produc-
tion of certain lines of their goods
Plenty Of second quality stones of this
character are to be had, it is said, but
amethysts Of good color and green
tourmalines, with uniform color and
brilliancy, are scarce.
No Improvement has developed in the
supply of genuine pearls. manufacture
ers reporting that it is almost impos-
sible for them to get an assortment of
first quality. The pearl situation is
closely parallel to- that Of diamonds, a
number of manufacturers being forced
to pay big prices for small stocks.
Here, too, there is plenty Of poorer
quality material available.

C,oIors
Imports. OF German Dyes
in Needed Quantities
viii Be Permitted

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-The i'm
portation Of German dyes will be pro-
hibitcd, except to the extent that they
are needed in the United States, the
War Trade Board announced to-day in
a statement outlining the policy de-
clared by Congress concerning the en-
forcemont of the trading with the en-
envy act by the board.
To determine the extent German dyes
are needed, the War Trade Board has
appointed an advisory committee, com
posed Of eight members, four repre-
senting dye producers and four con-
sumers.
Under an arrangement made between
representatives of the associated gov
ernments and the German delegates
last March, the boards statement says,
Germany was TO be permitted to export
a portion Of the surplus dyes and dye .
stuffs if. the associated governments
wanted TO purchase them.

manufacturers Plan
Export Trade Combine

Formation of an export corporation
to operate under the Webb Pomerene
act was proposed last night at the
foreign trade session of the National
Association of Manufacturers. 1t is to
be known as the Namusa South Amer
lean Corporation, and its activities will
be confined to the development of
trade in South America. Membership
in the corporation will be limited to
members of the association The plan
as roughly outlined provides for about
sixty groups or departments under
which the products of American manu-
facturers will be handled, such as
boots and shoes, machinery, chemicals,
dyes, wearing apparel, leather and
leather goods, etc. Each concern is
to own one share of stock, non-divi-
dend paying and assessable, in the
corporation and to have one vote The
foreign trade department of the asso-
citation and the other branches of the
organization will act in an advisory
capacity to the new corporation. Other
similar corporations to operate in
other parts of the world are contem-
plated.

Tax Collection Problems
The troubles of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue in changing from an
organization designed to collect taxes
on liquor and tobacco to gigantic ma
chine for the administration and col
lection of a multiplicity of taxes, was
told the. manufacturers by Daniel C.
Roper, commissioner of the bureau.
Nlnety-hve per cent of all the taxes of
the country, Mr.. Roper said, are col
lected by this bureau, which has been
forced to increase its personnel from
5000 to $4,000. Seventy-fve per cent
OF the money collected by the bureau
is from income and excess profits takes.
DVilliS tilc idSl elSnC mOntnS the bu-
reau has discovered 100000 tax dodgers
and has collected S36,OOOOOO in back
taxes, the payment of which had been
evaded.
Mr.. Roper told the manufacturers
that the bureau was working for a sim
plification of the forms prescribed for
taxpayers, and asked them to suggest
the proper method of handling invcn-
tories in tax returns so as to protect
the honest taxpayer. He urged .the
members of the association to deal
with the bureau through the medium of
their tax committee rather than indi-
vidually. Individual requests for in
formation, he said. were slowing up the
work of the bureau by clogging the
machinery.

Japanese Raw Silk Up
Larger Stocks Reported il
Yokohama Market

Japanese raw silk scored an addi-
tional advance in price yesterday
Shinshiu No. l, a standard grade, going
to $7.7212 a pound, this quotation rep
resenting a rise Of 27ls cents within
the past two days. Importers predicted
still higher prices, and it was init
mated that the best grade, now quoted
at $3.50 a pound, might possibly go to
$40 before the present movement sub
sides.
The buying that took place in the
local market called for the raw silk
to be delivered during the months of
June and July, orders for new crop
silk being light.
Reports from Yokohama ind Gated
that the available supply of silk in that
centre has risen to 1900 bales,
against estimated holdings Of 5000
bales in the early part Of last week.
Thrown silks have been advanced about
80 cents a pound, owing to the up
ward flight of the raw material.

Acute Leather Sh0rfnge

If shoe manufacturers based tho

the opinion of Morgan Grossrnan. of
Julius Grossman, Inc, BROOKLYN shoe
manufacturers. Just now the problem
with the shoe factories, according to
MI. Grossman, is to get leather The
price of raw material is of secondary
consideration. Mr.. Grossman declared
that present prices are far from being
flctltlous, but are based on the actual
cost of raw material and labor to the
manufacturers, in some cases the cost
to the consumer being figured on what
was paid for leather and raw skins be-
fore the recent increase in the prices
of these commodities.
Many persons cannot understand
why the price of shoes should be in

Grossman yesterday. But even cas-
ual review Of present conditions in the
leather market would quickly convince
these people that any increased cost in
their shoes is due to the Fundamental
principle of supply and demand. The
world is short of raw hides and skins
as well as stocks of leather. The con-
dltlon is not local by any means. We
are now paying prices for leather and
other items used in the manufacture
OF shoes that during the war would
have been considered out of the uues-
ton
While we were at war prices for
leather and other supplies were fixed

they were in sense fictitious. With
the removal of governmental bans the
market became an open one, with
prices based on actual conditions. Prior
