 This road through Ehrenberg, Blythe and Mecca to Riverside is about 125 miles shorter than by the way of Park CT. There is some sand on this road but on the whole it is probably as good as the Parker road.

Far buying Of high grade ginghams

goods for lining clothing were report

goods. On the whole business for the
week was probably better than for sew

was more cheerful, though price in
stability is still drawback
Mill men say they are convinced that
the stocks OF finished goods in the

light and that new buying must soon
appear The head of one prominent
selling agency stated that he knew of
at least fifteen jobbers who, while being
short of certain kinds Of fabrics, stead

levels commensurate with those made
by the mills, and that their failure to
do so holds back trade.
Mill agents assert that they have
done much better with Western dis

RcorderlAg Of fancy silks by mail

Weekend reduction of buying yestcr-

buyers now in the city kept out of the
market. Most of the leading manu-
facturers agreed that the volume Of
orders received during the month of
February was of record proportions
They intimate that trade for March
may exceed that of the month just
ended. This statement is predicated
on reports that retail dealers have sold
exceptionally large quantities of fash
lonable fabrics, and that trade with
final distributors instead of dccrcas-
ing is more likely to expand as the
weather becomes warmer A good
share of this demand is the result of
free spending by women who have en-

Manufacturer of silks suitable for
lining wearing apparel report that de-
mand has improved, but it is conceded
that trade is not what it should be.
The strikes IN the waist and dress

Leather
Tanners Fear Shortage
of Goat Skins in
This Country
Leather

The supply of raw goat skins IN
this country will be exhausted within
thirty to forty-fve days if shipments
are not received from abroad, is the
view taken by the heads of several
local tanning concerns. At present the
raw goat skins are selling at record
prices. The United States depends
upon foreign countries for about 81
per cent of the goat skins used by
domestic manufacturers.
While goat skin importers IN this
country were compelled to abide by
the price fixing plan of the War Trade
Board the tanners say concerns
abroad could go into the prime mar
kets and buy skins at prices which
could not be offered by Americans be-
cause of the price restrictions The
result was that foreign dealers secured
the bulk Of the supply, and when the
War Trade Board price rule was re-
vokcd on January 81 last prices had
reached an exceedingly high mark.
Most of the goat skin used in this
country now is imported from India,
China, Java and South America. There
are no Russian or European skins on
the market. During the period in which
the United States was in the war i'm
ports of goat skins fell of materially,
and for 1918 the total WAS 1868 900
pounds, against S8,9O2,00O pounds in
1917

than in December. The increased ex~
pendlturos for this period, as reported
ny the building departments of the
first and second class cities to the bu-
reau of statistics Of the New York
state Industrial Comp ission, amounted
to l23 per cent.
The only cities which failed to share
N. thls rise were Albany, Troy and
Utica, where the amounts expended for
building declined 20, and so per cent,
respectively This is the first time
there has been sharp indication of
revival in building activities so early
III the season, as this tendency is
usually not manifest until March.
The total amount reported for Jan
uary was $5,6i5,329, which is per
cent less the sum reported for January,
1918, The boroughs Of Manhattan,
Brooklyn. Bronx. Queens and Rich
mond, and the cities of Binghamton,
buffalo, Rochester, Schenectady, Sym
cuse and Yonkers reported larger ex-
pcndltures in January, 1919, than in
January, 1918.

Gradual Improvement
Shown in Wool Market


BOSTON, March lin the present
situation there is much uncertainty.'
says the editor Of "The American Wool
and Cotton Reporter"
"Choatic conditions probably will
prevail for some time yet, but it is
felt that there is slow but gradual
improvement. Among the factors in this
uncertainty is the immense weight of
wool which the government has on
hand, but is disposing Of from time to
time at the auctions.

months, Will throw still more of the
staple on the market. 1t is very diff
lcult to predict what the prices of tho
spring clip will be.

WOollen and Cotton
Exports Fall in 1913

During the past year more Amer

1924 pounds, worth s1.308 500, and in

Sees Shortage of Cotton
Goods for Years to Come
Worlds Wants So Great That
Industry Cannot Long BE
Checked

There is no possibility for some
years TO come of the worlds produc-
ton OF cotton goods being equal to
the worlds wants. That is the view
expressed by Sir Charles NIAGARA, who
for thirty years has held a prominent
position in the English cotton manu-
featuring industry. In an interview
wlth the Manchester correspondent of
The Toronto Globe" Sir Charles
stated that the present trying condi-
tlons IN the trade are only temporary.
and that the cotton industry, next to
that OF agriculture, cannot long be
checked. According to Sir Charles, "the
world wants and must have cotton
goods.
Sir Charles does not see how new
mills can be started successfully to
compete with the mills now in ex-
lstence. Lancashire turns out a large
proportion OF the cotton spinning ma
chlnery used throughout the world, and
IN the interview just cited he stated
that owing to the war machinests had
devoted their efforts to making repairs
and renewals for the English industry.
Sir Charles also declared that the cost
OF machinery is practically 200 to 300
per cent above prewar prices, and that
when 1T comes to delivering new ma
ohinery preference will be given to
France and Belgium.
Speaking OF the situation in America.
Sir Charles observed that "the cotton
mills there, like the cotton mills here.
have, during the last two years, been
to a certain extent engaged on govern
ment work, but even in normal times
they are only able to export per cent
of their manufacture of cotton goods,
and that won't go far toward meeting
the worlds wants"
