SI!KS-Jobbers
Make Large Sales

Upward tendencies in the worlds
raw silk markets are stimulating buy
ing of finished goods During the half
days business yesterday silk jobbers
who had goods to offer made large
sa es to retailers and garment manu-
facturers. In some cases where the
dress manufacturers wanted black
goods and were unable to find them
they took colored materials, which
they will have dyed
Few mill agents are in position to
take more orders, even for spring
goods, and many of them refer in
quirers for goods to the jobbers. Sew
eral mill agents said yesterday that
they had been offered business as far
ahead as the fall of 1920, but had re-
fused it.
Garment manufacturers are insisting
on the cary delivery of spring silks.
They desire to begin their spring sea-
son earlier than usual this year, and
III addition feel that if they have the
goods in their establishments it will
prevent sellers from arpropriating
Goods from one order and giving them
to another and later order at higher
prices.
Raw silk continued firm at the
higher prices established earlier in the
week. Most sales were for January

COTTON COODS-Prices
Hold, Though Trading Subsidies

Although trading in the cotton goods
markets was not as active yesterday as
earlier in the week, prices were he d to
former levels. Standard gray or un-
finished goods of the 64-6Os construc-
ton continued to sell at 18 cents. Con-
verters and printers took them at this
price, both for use the rest of this year
and on into January, February and
March. Buyers feel safe in taking
goods on the rising market, since, Il
the speculative element runs the mar
ket higher. they can sell their goods in
the gray without finishing them and
still make a profit
Most of the sales being made now,
brokers believe, are founded on the
actual need of merchandise. Jobbers
and mill agents are besieged by buyers
anxious to otain goods both for i'm
mediate and future use. The rtai
trade reports brisk business and low
stocks Western jobbers are said to be
almost sold out Of merchandise and are
trying to obtain more.

JEWELRY-One-Day Clock
Prices Adv0nced

An increase of 10 per cent in the
wholesale price of what are known as
one-day clocks was made yesterday by
a large clock manufacturing company.
1t is expected that similar advance
shortly will be made by other concerns
Manufacturers report that there has
been no decrease in the number of or
ders received from the trade, but that
through more settled labor conditions
they are gradually increasing their
production.
Much competition continues to exist
between domestic and foreign buyers
Manufacturers, however. are favorng
the home trade in the filling of the ma
jority of orders, even though custom
ers buying for export purposes are
willing to pay higher prices. Eight
day clocks especially are in good de
mand from foreign buyers. Some
manufacturers are forced to sell many
Of these clocks to German buyers in
order to receive shipments of chime
clocks from Germany. A few of these
clocks were made in the United States
before the war, but the cost of manu-
acturing was SO great that manu-
'acturers were compelled to abandon
making them

The News of Business

A BNORMALLY high rates for Stock
"A Exchange money served to check
operations in the commercial money
market last week. Buying of CONNER
cial paper and of bank acceptances was
on smaller scale than Of late. owing
to the fact that banks found it more
profitable to take advantage of the at
tractive rates obtaining in the call
money market. The commercial paper
market is likely to continue quiet un-
til the Stock Exchange money situation
becames easier.
An interesting development last week
was the renewal of $5O.O0000O of the
Ford Motor Company notes for an
other. ninety-day period on 5A per
cent discount basis. When the notes
were placed originally last July they
were sold to a syndicate Of banks on
a basis Of 5ls per cent. The reduction
in the rate is fair measure of the
relaxation that has taken place since
last July in commercial money.
Most of the business done in COM
mercial paper last week was on basis
of 5A per cent, with few prime bills
moving at S per cent. The less we'll
known paper went at 5h per cent
Dealers reported short supply of
paper despite the slackening of the de-
mand from the banks. Interior insti-
tutions continued to take the bulk of
the paper offered

ChanlOis Skin Exceeds Supply

Buyers arc in the market for large
quantities of chamois skin. Orders re-
reived recently by the manufacturers
have been SO heavy that they are now
unable to meet the demand. During
the last few months stocks at the fac
tories have been reduced considerably
by sales to foreign customers.
Prices of this skin are slightly high
err. Raw stocks are plentiful. but the
finished product is scarce. Originally
chamois skin was obtained from the
animal of that name, but now sheep
are the chief source Of supply.
The uses of chamois skin are con-
stantly increasing. In addition to be-
ing used extensively for cleaning pur-
poses it serves as Innings in shoes and
a so in leather overcoats.
