Beauty In Seaweed.

Contemplating seaweed, the curator
of this department in the New York
botanical gardens has made sug-
gestion. timely with regard to the
present exhibition Of specimens in the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. that here
may be found many charming sug-
gestion. hitherto unnoticed by artists,
'or the creation of decorative designs.
One is reminded Of the passage in
which Ruskin tells how the Greek
architect found beautiful design in
the movement of ocean waves; and
wonders that Ruskin himself, with his
keen appreciation Of art suggestions
IN nature. did not deal with the varied
beauty of design discoverable In the
different seaweeds. Perhaps he did,
and one has forgotten it; at any rate
seaweed has not, IT seems, yet sup
piled suggestion for the design of lace,
tapestries, prints, and architectural
and the idea adds material
for the work Of designers.

Furs
NeiU Tax on Fur Industry
Not Clearly Understood
by Manufacturers

Members of the executive committee
of the Associated Fur Manufacturers
Qnc.) were in conference yesterday
with c. W. Mutt, zone chief for the
internal revenue office, for the purpose
of discussing the various questions
arising from the section of the new
revenue law providing for 10 per cent
tax on fur garments The fur men
presented series of questions for
answer by those having the applica-
tlon of the revenue law in hand. and
Mr. Mutt promised that within few
days he would obtain from the Treas
ury Department at Washington the tax
regulations as they apply to the fur
industry
The law provides that the 10 per cent
tax shall be collected by the importer
or manufacturer of finished fur articles.
Chief among the points that the manu-
facturers are not clear on are those
covering the repairing and remodelling
of garments and the sale of garments
by one manufacturer to another. These
points were discussed yesterday. but
nothing in the way of definite de-
clslon on them was made.
Fred kaufman, Of Kaufman & Ober-
leder, president of the Associated Fur
Manufacturers Inc.), headed the dele
gatlon OF fur men at the conference.
Others in attendance were S. N. Sam
ueis, Weinstein G. Samuels. Adolph
Engel, e. & J. Fnsel Unc) Max Cohen,
Cohen Bros. Edward Fillmore and
David G.. Mills.

Chemicals
Government Departments
ASK Dealers for Bids
o., Chemicals

Chemical dealers and manufacturers
are sending bids TO the various gov
ernment departments which are pre-
parlng to dispose of the stocks ac-
cumulatcd during the war The bids
have fbecn made in answer to requests
OF these departments, and it is ex-
pected that they will be opened within
a week or ten days. large quantities
Of mixed acids, sulphuric acid. caustic
soda and other chemicals will thus
come into the market
Dealers were becoming impatient be-
cause of the delay in disposng of these
stocks of chemicals. The lack of gov
ernment action in this direction. it was
SAID, has been retardng activity in the
market generally.
Until the governments chemicals
have been disposed Of dealers as we'll
as consumers are expected to hold
back. 1t is expected that the liouida-
ton will stabilize the market and slim
ulate trade, but whether prices will 90
up or down depends largely upon the
bids now being made by dealers. If
they offer high prices for the govern
ment chemicals the market will be
strengthened, whereas low OFFERINGS
tend to bring the entire market down.

Diamonds Now Coming
from Holland Are
Quickly absorbed

Delayed shipments of diamonds are
beginning to come from Holland. but
the relief they bring to the market
is slight, because the shipments are
lmmedlately absorbed in filling orders
which have been on the books of i'm
porters for some time
Complaint IS growing among i'm
porters of precious stones because
OF the delay in shipments, and also
because of the slowness of the mails
and cables There seems to be no
satisfactory explanation for this con-
dltlon;; One importer stated yester-
day that in some cases it took six
weeks for parcels of diamonds to ar
rive from Holland Besides this, local
dealers find it impossible to ascertain
When packages of stones are leaving
the other side or on what ship thev
are coming, no matter how valuable
the consignment may be. The first
notice they have of the arrival of dai-
monds for their account is when the
registered mail receipt is given them.
several dealers have called the atten-
tlon OF the government to these DELAYS
IN an effort to obtain relief. but m
to the present there has been no
change in the situation, which, thev
state, IS seriously hampering their
BUSINESS
