Jobbers advanced prices on some
silks, notably taffetas and crspes, be-
cause Of the renewed demand, but tho
advances were not as sharp as they
were the previous week.
Record prices were established here
fov raw silk, Sinshiu No. being quoted
at Sl1.95, against $1,000 the week be-
fore, and Kansai, double extra, at $12.75,
compared with s11,70. Prices were lower
earlier in the week, and this stimulated
some mills to buy. Little activity was
noticed after the new prices were estab-
lished, although some mills were
forced to make purchases to keep their
machinery running. The Yokohama
market, which supplies about 80 per
cent of the silk used in this country,
fiuctuated during the week, but showed
decidedly firm tendency. Declines
were quickly recovered. Reports from
Yokohama show smaller supplies on

TOWNS ARMORY
HOPES KILLED
Bills for Buildings Affecting Nine
Cities in State are Tabled
Two Pending.

Springfield, ILL.,, May 16.-Hopes
of a number of Illinois cities for
armories were blasted today when
the house appropriations committee
reported that armory appropriation
bills affecting nine municipalities
had been tabled. Action of the COM
mittee was said to reflect the az
ministration' attitude.
The bills killed in committee pro-
vide for armories at Elgin. Pontiac,
Decatur, Lincoln. Bloomington,
Cairo. Champaign, Salem and Chi
cago.
Chairman Smejkal of the ap-
preparations committee said ap-
preparations for armories at Dan
vile and Peoria were still pending
and that it had been agreed to re-
appropriate $4,000 for this pur-
pose at Kankakee.
The Holiday bill carries 5000, 900
for the proposed Danville armory.
but this, it was declared, could be
cut down to $15O,000 at least.
Peoria was said to have s33, 900
left from a 100000 appropriation
of two years ago after purchasing
an armory site. 1t was considered
likely that enough would be made
available at this session to bring
the building fund up to 100000 or
possibly more.

also is the desire of many foreign
born to return to lands now freed
