ONE BIC ORCHARD
Fruit Culture in New South
Wales.

Few parts of the world possess nat
ural facilities for the production of
fruit in greater varieties than New
South Wales, owing to the extent of
the country and the great difference
In climate, ranging from that Of the
temperate regions of the higher table
lands to that of the tropics on the
northeastern seaboard.
From mOisture-laden atmosphere,
and a rainfall of 70 inches per annum,
to dry dessicating area and a rainfall
or under 10 inches per annum, and
with every gradatiOn between these
extremes, the State is able to grow
every kind of fruit from mangoes to
cherries, and not only can the State
grow this variety of fruits, but it can
produce many of them of such quality,
and to such perfection, that they can
not be excelled in any part of the
world.
On the North Coast, adjoining the
State of Queensland, the climate and
conditions are almost tropical. Here
the rainfall is heavy, the air laden
with moisture, and in sheltered posi-
tions frosts are unknown, and here
all the fruits of the sub-tropics -four
ish; mango, custard apple, banana
and pineapple are seen side by side,
and the passion fruit and guava grow
wild in the bush and produce an
abundance of the finest fruit without
any cultivation whatever.
The orange, lemon and citron like
wise thrive with very little attention
and nowhere in the world can they be
brought to greater perfection, provid-

Cherries do remarkably well in ev-
cry part of the tableland and the Red
Kentish cherry grows almost wild and
bears heavy crop of fruit.
In the central district of the State
there is an enormous extent of cOun-
try with a soil and climatic conditions
similar to portions of Spain and Italy,
that is specially suited for the growth
of the vine, the olive, the fig, the april
cot, the drying peaches, in fact for
nearly every variety of drying fruit,
especially raisins, sultanas and cur
rants.
The date palm has been successfully
introduced into New South Wales and
at Pera Bore, near Bourke-5OO miles
west from Sydney-the trees planted
promise excellently.
The olive, both for oil and picking,
thrives luxuriantly in many parts OF
the State, and promises to be most
profitable industry, as the tree is a
rapid and vigorous grower, cropping
heavily, bearing good fruit and coming
into bearing in much less time than IL
does in Europe. Experts say that the
conditions prevailing on the Western
slopes of the tablelandS are, as q
whole, much more favorable to the
growth of the olive than the most re-

TEXTILES-Cotton Goods
Trade A,paifS army Sale

The pending sale of army textiles to-
day had a rctarding influence on bust
ness yesterday in the cotton goods mar
ket. There were many out town buy
ers in the city, but they deferred pur-
chases. awaiting the outcome of the
government sale, at which, it is be-
lieved, a certain price basis will be
csta blishcd.
One large firm of mill agents opened
their line of ginhams for spring deliv-
cry. SO great is the demand for that
fabric that the manufacturers are dis
posing of their output by allptmcnts to
customers. Light weight denim was
quoted at 33 cents and heavy weigh.
at 81 II cents yard. These prices ara
materially lower than those obtained
last week by spectators.
Selling agents stated that the de-
mand for duck is increasing. Sales of
that fabric have. in comparison with
all other cotton goods, been slow. The
greatest consumers of duck, manufact-
urers of harvesting machinery, tents
and awnings, hose and betting, etc, have
during the past two years had their eX-
port business greatly impaired. Nov
that trade is hourshlng again, those
concerns are beginning to make large
purchases. Prices obtained yesterday
ranged from 621a cents a yard for the
ordinary lines to rs cents for army
duck.
Transactions in gray goods were con-
fined to small sales made by spetula-
tors. Buyers were scarce and, as a
result, owners Of limited stocks shaded
their prices to 15A cents yard for
the standard size cloth.

urers have sold their production of
tall and winter headgear up until the
first of January, 1920. The output is
below normal in most factories, while
the demand on account of the return
OF many men from military to civilian
life in the last six months is greatly
increased.
Hats that the retailer will sell at
the beginning of the fall season will
show about GO per cent increase
compared with last year But the cost
of manufacturing has increased more
than 60 per cent Labor and materials
have advanced since orders were taken,
but manufacturers are delivering the
goods ordered at the old prices and
taking much smaller margin of
profit.
Most of the hat statesmen have lust
returned from the trips on which they
sold straw hats for next wear, and
late orders will be subject to further
price increases. AS things stand now

straw hats next summer will be around

Retailers Short On Hufs
For Fall and Winter
Output of Domestic Factories, Manufacturer Says
Is Below Normal and All Sold Up to the First

EEW retail hatters have enough
4 stiff and soft felt hats on their
shelves or on order at the factories
to carry them through the fall and
winter season now beginning, and

K. A. Holmes, second vice president

they will be unable to replenish their
stocks before the first of next year.
"1n my opinion" Mr.. Holmes said
yesterday, "the hat retailers were too
conservative in their orders for fall
and winter hats taken early this year.
They pursued much the same policy
that actuated them in buying con-
servatively last year for the straw hat
season just passed. There was an
actual shortage of straw hats and re-
tailers were begging manufacturer
for merchandise before the season was
over. In fact, some retailers were
forced to take inferior straw hats to
fill out their stocks and give their
customers an adequate selection.

placed by retailers, the hat manufact-

COLORS-Dye Exports to

Manufacturers and exporters Of dye
stuffs declared yesterday that the i'm
port restrictions recently enacted by
Brazil and other South American coun-
tries had seriously affected export
business Exports to the Far East
however, show no signs of slackening
Large shipments are moving out regu-
larly.
In the domestic market spirited COM
petition in the common shades of colors
mas tended to weaken prices. This
tendency toward lower prices has been
enhanced by the difficulty in securing
quantity orders. The consuming trades
are buying only in small lots, and
dealers complain that orders are not
plentiful. Among the coors in good
demand from domestic buyers are
chloramine yellow. chinoline yellow
and fuchsine shades.

German Merchants
Eager to Buy, but
Credit Is Lacking
Berlin Trade Organization
Seeks to Renew Com
mercial Relations With
U. S. Export Associations

The American Manufacturers Export
Association yesterday made public
letter received from the American AS
sociation of Commerce and Trade in
Berlin containing the statement that
German merchants are eager to buy
American merchandise, but are pre-
vented from so doing because of non
extension of credit by the American
manufacturer.
The domand for American goods in
Germany, according to the communica-
ton, is rapidly expanding, but sales are
made prohibitivc by the terms of the
American agents, which cali for cash in
New York against trade documents.
The Berlin organization sets forth its
desire of renewing pre-war business re
latlons with the Export Association and
points out that the. German buyer can
not obtain permit to export unless
evidence can be shown that the shipper
in this country will give him credit
Following is an extract Of the letter:
"In view of the business activity that
is just beginning between the United
States and Germanyso so far as the
Trading with the Enemy act will per
mit--this association would like to re-
HCN tIlt COllllcClloll tIdJ tAlotcu DC-
tween your organization and this be-
fore the war, believing that such
would be Of mutual advantage.
"The pressure brought to bear upon
us by the German business world is
enormous. We have a very large num-
Der of calls for American goods of
every description, as we'll as many re-
quests for all kinds of agencies. The
one great hindrance at present is the
question of payment. A few American
agents have already been here, but
their terms of cash in New York
against documents makes all dealings
impossible. The German buyer cannot
get permit to import unless he can
show evidence that the American ship
per will give him credit. Consequent
ly the American business pioneers in
Germany have not been able to close
any deals. 1t is believed that Amcr-
cans will be able to give credit as soon
as arrangements for a loan are effected
and as soon as they have more conf
dence in the German situation"

RUBBER-Cruie Higher
FolloUing Aduance abroad

Crude rubber prices ruled firm yes
terday on. good demand from manu-
facturers. Cables from Singapore and
London reporting firm markets with
advancing prices had an effect on local
prices, which advanced from Il to |
cent a pound on all the important
grades. Ribbed smoke sheets brought
4o cents pound on the spot, an ad-
vance of l cent over the preceding
close, while brown crepe sheets coul'l
be purchased for 37i2 cents. For first
latex At cents a pound was asked.
Manufacturers with factories in
Rhode Island assert that the rubber
trade in that state is being hampcred
greatly by their inability to get the
proper amount of labor. They say
that at least 1000 more employees could
be used in various departments. Pro-
duction, however, is improving little,
due to the general overhauling and re-
pairing of machinery.

SILKS-Conuerters Buying
Oriental Fabrics Eagerly

Although sales in the silk market
yesterday were. generally confined te
light purchases by local garment
makers, there were number of out
of-town buyers in the city seeking
prices on goods for spring delivery. In
a majority Of instances manufacturers
would not quote these, declaring that il
will be about two weeks before a gen
eral scale of prices will be established
The appearance of the buyers, how.
ever, served to bolster up the spirits
Of some few who had grown slightly
apprehensive over the comparative in
activity of the last two weeks, and ii
was expected that buying will be re
sumed within a few days.
Importers of Chinese and Japanese
manufactured silk reported that the
low production of the American mills is
causing many converters to buy the
Oriental products They are unable tc
obtain merchandise in any large guam
titles from other sources, and as &
result, there is an increasing flow OF
American buyers to China and Japan
Firms selling the Eastern silks con-
template higher prices for the Chinese
pongee, sales of which point to q
wide popularity next spring and sum
mer. Importers are paying about 75
cents yard for the pongee, and stated
that the largest consumers were the
department stores and garment manu-
facturers.
Business in the raw silk market yes

largely confined to small lots for i'm
mediate needs. Despite the absence OF
