JJEWELRY-Foreign Buyers
In Market for Clocks

Clock manufacturers are IN the midst
of the busiest season ever recorded in
the history of the industry. The DO
mestic demand, although rec0rd-break-
ing, is almost equaled by the many
foreign inquiries and orders being
placed in the local market. Repre-
senta.ives Of Canada, France, Great
Britain, Australia. and even the far-ot1
Arabia are either in the market in
person ov being heard from through
the malis. These buyers are willing
to pay almost any price. so long aa
they receive shipments Of clocks. One
representative OF a large Canadian CON
Germ alone was willing to place orders
for at least siX months business II the
hands of manufacturers.
Manufacturers. however, assert that
their factories are so overwhelmed
with domestic orders that the foreign
trade requirements will have to be eft
unattended for some time. Untitled
explain, will keep their plants we'll
under way right Up to The spring O
1921. Man Of the manufacturers will
be compelled to take losses on some
Of these orders as they were taken al
guaranteed prices before the cost Of
materials and labor increased. These
losses viii hove to be regained, and
some OF the larger manufacturers al
ready are planning TO advance the
prices on all kinds of clocks for 1920
in their effort to even accounts.
Retailers complain that many sales
of clocks are being lost simply because
the manufacturers cannot meet their
requirements. Orders that were placed
last March ar eonly being delivered
now, ard while these retailers receive
the clocks at lower figures than they
can ne bought for at this time they
are willing to pay the advanced quota
tions to hold their trade,
