COTTONS-Large Concerns
Operating Conserudtiuely

Some Of the largest converting and
commission concerns in the cotton
goods trade are operating conserva-
lively in both purchases and sales, in
anticipation of developments that will
necessitate a readjustment of prices.
Throughout the trade there is a feel
ing that reactions are due in the near
future. According to leading cotton
man, who is a planter, a mill owner
and converter, production is gaining
rapidly, and, despitee the cry of a
shortage of goods, there is an actual
surplus of some fabrics. This man
ID his firm was in position to fur
nish buyers with $1,O0O,000 worth of
cotton goods at present, although the
supplies in some fabrics we're sub
normal. He asserted that other con-
Germs were in the same position.
Commission merchants, big dry
goods jobbing houses and converfers
are scanning their credit lists more
closely than ever before, to guard
against cancellations and other diff
culties should the market show a re-
versal Of form.
Garment manufacturers are operat-
ing more actively in the market than
they have been for some months. All
kinds of dress cottons are selling we'll,
including the voiles, organdies, pop
Inns, etc. Madras and other shirting
fabrics also are in good demand.

JEWELRY-Large Shipment
Of Rough Diamonds Receired

A consignment Of rough diamonds
valued at slightly less than s5OO,000
was received from London yesterday
by one of the large local importers
of precious stones. This is the largest
shipment received here in some time.
but it is not expected to have any
great influence on the present situa-
ton in the diamond cutting business.
Cutters of precious stones find it diff
cult TO obtain sufficient material to
work on, on a day to day basis, and
several of the smaller concerns are
closed or working only on part time.
The scarcity of diamonds has been
acute for many months and manufac-
turers assert that the point has been
reached where perfect stones are al
most impossible to obtain except at
unheard of prices. Representatives Of
these manufacturers have been scour-
ing the foreign diamond fields for sew
eral months in hopes Of securing at
least limited stocks, but the contin-
uous demand for the precious stones,
coming from practically all the coun-
tries in the world, has caused the
shortage which, importers in the trade
declare, will last for several years to
come

turned from taffetas to satins, because
Of the poor quality of taffetas now on
the market in the hands Of jobbers.
Mills are booking comparatively few
orders now, although here and there a
mill agent can be found who will accept
some future business. Some of the
mills claim their product is sold up to
the end of April, while a few producers
OF staple fabrics assert that they have
orders running into next August and
September. Jobbers are constantly re-
ccelving new shipments of goods, but
these go out almost as soon as they
are received. The ease with which job
bers can obtain additional yardage,
while garment manufacturers have to
scour the market for materials. is lead
ing to many complaints among the
latter.

to check selling to some extent.

SILkS-Coods for
Pain, Beach Apparel Wanted

The opening of the wholesale season
in sprin. and Palm Beach aoDare, for
women has sent garment manufacture
ers into the silk market for more yard
age. The present buying is not rush,
however, as many of the apparel makers
ordered spring silks as early as last
May and June and these are now being
delivered by the mills. Present buying
seems to be centered largely on taffetas
and satins, particularly the latter. In
some quarters the sellers have noticed
that the apparel manufacturers have

Urge Early Buying of
Women's Outer Garments

Retailers of women's outer garments
are urged by the Merchants Ladies' Gar
ment Association, an organization of
the leading stock houses or jobbers in
the city, to purchase their ~spring
stocks early. In a statement issued
yesterday by the recently formed pub
licity committee of the association, it
is asserted that late buyers will find
short stocks and higher prices than
the one who anticipates his needs early
in the wholesale selling season.

The opening was points higher on May

change may also have been responsible
for some OF the selling. Recent commits

sellers. with trade interests buying on the
decline. During the last few minutes of

BANKS MUST NUT DE
 SAOQLEO WITH JOAN
 Is SOLEMN WARNING
Finance Professors Declare Victory Loan Must Be Popular to Insure
 Prosperity.

The banks of the United States must be left free to finance the reconstruc- ton of productive enterprises and must not be cluttered up with the Victory Liberty Loan. That is the composite. thought-out opinion Of two of the Vests most noted professors Of finance, Carl C. Plehn. professor of finance in the University of California. and Murray l.. Wildman. head of the department of economics and finance of Stanford University. Both agree that the money needed to finish pay ing for the war should not come out of working capital. but should be humble and wealthy
 If the people take the Loan, as they must" Professor Plehn says, the banks will be left free to lend to the manufactures. the farmer. the grocer. the butcher. and the baker, so that they can get busy again on peace time basis Then production and business will grow and. by the formu- la, prices will come to normal. If We leave 1t to the banks, they will have no funds left for business, big or little. We. ourselves. will not profit and the day of our redemption will only be postponed
 Professor Wildman. whose ability caused him to be called from Stanford to Washington for war finance service. agrees with the California economist, adding: Tt would be grave mistake to saddle the banks of the country with the Victory Loan at this time"
 When two professors agree. it's time to sit up and take notice. When two professors not only agree with each other. but agree with the gov ernment. that settles it. Finance is their particularly govern ment finance. They have spent their lives studying 1t and are paid good salaries for teaching the principles of it to the men who are going to run the nation tomorrow.
 Finance is not the business of the wiseacre who screws down the cor ners of his mouth and says. Let the banks do Il" Better take the advice of scientists who know
