FURS-Skirs for
Neckpieces in Demand

Inquiries for furs suitable for neck
pieces and muffs are becoming more
frequent in the market. Hitherto this
season the bulk of the fur business has
been transacted on skins from which
coats and wraps can be made Within
the last few days several sales of fox,
lynx and 1her long haired furs have
been made, it is said.
Muskrat skins are still in strong de-
mand by the manufacturing furrers,
who use them in the making of Hud-
son seal coats and wraps. Marmot, an
other coat fur, also is moving we'll, es-
pecially to the manufacturers who
cater to the Western trade, where
cheaper coats are in greater demand
than in the East.
The fur trade was interested yester-
day in a report from Australia that a
new law has been passed preventing
the killing of opossum and wombats
in that country after September 20. If
such a law has gone into effect, it is
said, the reaction on the trade here
will be drastic, since both Australian
opcssum and wombat are in good de-
mand and are constantly being placed
to greater use. Opossum especially is
one of the furs most widely used as o
trimming by the cloak and suit trade.
No price reaction was noticeable as a
result of the report Dealers are wait
| ing for its confirmation

.JEWELRY-Orders Exceed
Production Capacity

Wholesalers and jobbers of jewelry
are still confronted with the difficulty
of obtaining finished products, and re-
port many untitled orders on their
books. There is a slight improvement
in the labor situation, but great
shortage Of skilled workers exists
This is especially true with watch and
clock makers.
Silvcrsmiths are taking orders with
out guaranteeing time Of delivery
Orders were coming in with such great
rapidity that this move was thought
necessary. Manufacturers in some
cases are from five to six months be-
hind on their orders Orders for
plated ware placed last April have not
yet becen delivered, but instead of
cancellations, these manufacturers are
receiving increased orders, which are
usually accompanied by letters urging
delivery as soon as possible of the
stock ordered earlier in the year.

is 10000 dozen behind on orders for

WASHINGTON, Sept. O. After
amending it to provide double liability
for. shareholders in corporations or
ganized under the act. the Senate to-
day. passed the export finance bill by
Senator Edge, of New Jersey. 1t now
goes to the House.
The bill is designed to extend Amer
ican credit abroad and enable American
financial interests to assist in the re-
habilitation of Europe.
Pie double liability provision was
inserted over the objection of the
Federal Resrve Board Senator Nc
Lean. of Connecticut. told the Senate
he doubted if any of the projected
corporations could be formed with it.
On motion of Senator Owen, of
Oklahoma. the provision removing the
Clayton act was eliminated. Provisions
also were inserted forbidding the cor
porations from engaging in commerce
or trade or interfering with competi-
tion in sale of commodities.
international bankers expressed sat
iSfaction yesterday over news of The
passage by the Senate of the Edge
bill, which they regard as an important
step in solution of the problem Of
financing purchases of Europeans in
this country. The bill, however, is an
enabling act and not means of actu-
ally building up mechanism for
handling credits. Advocates of the
DAWSON plan said the bill is not in
consistent with their programme. 1t
goes somewhat further than the origi-
nal. suggestions of Henry P. Dawson,
because since his plan was first drafted

Sympathy With London

brisk business was transacted in
the crude rubber market yesterday

rubber goods has become more active

not believed that business will be done
on any large scale for several months
Railroads, ordinarily heavy purchasers
OF these goods, have not made nearly
as large purchases as usual, although
some companies stocks are supposed to
