JEWELRY-Articles Made of
Small Size Diamonds Higher

Increases have been made in the
price of jewelry containing small dia-
monds. This advance covers all stones
up to one quarter carat in size and is
due, manufacturers say. to the higher
prices asked by the foreign syndicate.
The shortage Of diamonds, which is
general, is most marked in small
stones. Dealers returning from for
eign markets. report that gems under
one-q quarter carat are almost impossible
to obtain in England and Holland.
European dealers are bidding eagerly
for all that are offered.
Despite the rising tendency of prices
the demand for diamonds continues to
increase. Out-of-town jewellers are Wis

Retail Merchants
Coming Back for
Additional Goods
Production Difficulties and
Delayed Deliveries Cause
Change in the Old Order
OF Seasonal Buying

Three months Of continuous and heavy
sales by retail merchants throughout
the country are reflected by the in
creasing number Of buyers in the city
seeking merchandise with which to re-
place depleted stocks. While many OF
the visiting merchants are placing or
ders Tor spring goods, sales by local
firms have lately been featured by the
efforts Of their customers to obtain
goods eor immediate delivery, with The
explanation that their shelves need re-
plenishing.
The season for spring buying by re-
tail merchants in general will begin
about the last of this month. Many OF
the Wholesale firms have placed then
orders for merchandise for the comng 2
season. but their purchasing does not
bring the great number of buyers to the
market that occurs when the retailer
starts shopping
planned yesterday that delayed ship
ments Of orders due primarily to pro
duction difficulties, mas changed the old
order Of seasonable buying by the retail
merchants. Heretofore. he said, jobbcrs
could with certainty look forward to
certain months as being the period when
their customers would visit the mark ct
tor their purchases. The late spring
months brought an influx of BUYERS
with orders for fall merchandise. and
the buying Of stocks for spring sale
started about the last Of October and
extended through to the first of the
year. The intervening periods were
ones OF comparative dullncss as re-
garded sales.
Now, however, slow deliveries, COM
bned with the rapidity with which the
purchasing public absorbs merchandise
brings the buyers to the market at all
times. AS an example, July and August
which previously have always been dull
months in the cotton goods market. local
Jobbers sold more merchandise than has
ever before been reported for the cor
responding period.
In September it was known that buy
crs were in the market placing three dis
tinct classes Of orders Primarily. tbev
came to obtain stocks with which to re-
place those depleted By record sales. and
on goods of that character immediate
delivery was insisted upon Secondly
these buyers chose their fall lines, and
lastly, while here. many Of them placed
advance orders for certain lines that
had been opened for spring. Buyers of
that class generally comprised The large
department stores. and some tobbcrs.
The smaller concerns did rot make
any spring purchases, postponing that
business until November CT December
In addition TO buyers Of that class who
are expected back IN the market during
those months there will be representa-
tives of the large firms, who will come
to make their selections Of lines on
which spring prices have not yet been
established.

COTTON COODS-LotceY
Price Named for Percale

"a reduction of three cents yard
h percale for the coming season was
announced yesterday by several mill
agents. Patterns in light colors were
ouoted at 22 cents and dark colors at
81 cents a yard. There has been con-
siderable speculation i'll the trade as
10 the spring figures, some predictions
baing made that they would show de-
ryeases of five cents. The recent ad-
vance in gray goods, which has taken
these fabrics to seventeen cents a

precudes any greater cut in percalc
prices, it was said. Advance orders.
already received. indicate strong de-
mand next spring for that cloth
Business in general was not so
heavy in volume yesterday as last
week. There was a material falling
off in the buying by underwear manu-
facturers. In fact, some of them be-
came sellers of fine quality bleached
goods. Their productions have not
been as heavy as was anticipated,
with the result that number of them
endeavored to dispose of some of the
stocks Of nainsook and cambria. Az
the manufacturers themselves cousti-
tute at present about the only con-
sumers of these fabrics. the offerings
Of those desiring 10 sell their sur
plus stocks were not readily taken,
despite the fact that quotations wore
about one cent below mill agents
prices, and that immediate deliveries
could be made
Converters of fine cloths reported
. continued demand for printed voile.
Buyers seemed to favor patterns of
brilliant cocrs. The cost to the ulti-
Nate consumer will range from 81
10 81 yard. 1t was said that the
, gray cloth from which the voles are
converted cost from thirty to forty
cents yard.
There was a growing demand from
iobbers for imitation crepe de chine
in silk and cotton. Buyers are look
ing to large sales of that fabric dur
ing the spring months. Attractive
patterns shown by converters brought
671s cents a yard.

c.nths were few in number, there
we're no price recessions.

HURD QUITS OVER
LEAGUE APPROVAL
Resigns From Organization
Indorsing Covenant.

Richard NJ Hurd resigned yesterday
from membership and dictatorship of the
American Rights League because the
league has indorsed President Wilson's
League of Nations. In a letter to George
Haven Putnam, president Of the league.
Mr. Hurd said:
"I fail to understand how a league
formed to uphold American rights can
approve the surrender Of American in
dependence and sovereignty urged by
Mr.. Wilson. The United States is a
free and independent nation which will
in the future as in the past use it's own
Judgment both In its internal affairs and
in its international relations, and which
is not to be misled by any misstate-
ments, threats or alarmist predictions OF
Mr.. Wilson. Any scheme for a League
of Nations which includes the obligation
on the part of the United States to &c
to war at the will of foreign nations. OF
which contemplates the intrusion OF
England, France, Japan or any other
nation in the settlement, for example, OF
our Mexican relations. is a scheme that
the American people will reject just as
soon as they understand it.
"The Senate of the United States
under the constitutional authority |.
fighting to preserve the independence
of this country, and / am confident that
1t has the support Of public opinion"
Mr.. Hurd is a member of the execu.
tive committee OF the American Defence
Society, which has urged the Senate tc
eliminate the league covenant from the
peace treaty.

So. 900. 900 CHURCH
HOUSE URGED HERE
Headquarters Planned for
All Protestant Agencies.

A proposal, made before the war, to
build in New York a great church house
which would he the HEADQUARTERS of
Protestant agencies of national scope
and which would cost SO, 100000 or more
has been received. The Federal Council
of Churches. representing about thirty
Protestant bodies, has named Fred b.
Smith as chairman of committee with
power to add to its membership and call
it together Immediately. Murray Hill
was considered as a location for the
building before the war.
The new interchurch world movement
has quarters in three office buildings.
one in Fourth avenue, one in Fifth ave-
nue. and another in Broadway. The Fed
eral Council Is in the United Charities
Building and short of space. A plan is
on foot to move Congregational head
quarters from Boston TO New York. The
great foreign missionary societies have a
floor in Madison Square. The Baptists
the Reformed Church of America, the
Methodist Centenary and many other
organizations need more room. The in
terests seeking a cuhrch house represent
about 100000 church members and
handle about 100000 a year.
1t was said yesterday the proposed
new building would not take the places
OF the Presbyterian Episcopal and Meth
odist buildings, and that these would not
be disposed of.
The National Council of the Congre-
gational Church will be urged in it's
meeting at Grand Rapids next month to
transfer missionary headquarters from
Boston to New York. Missionary rep
resentatives will argue that every de-
nomination Is centring it's management
in New York and that Boston is not
easily reached.

MORROW is FINAL
DAY IN QUARTER
Uncle Sam to Gain Many
Millions by Third Payment
Being Made,
MANY SETTLE ACCOUNTS
Large Corporations Wait UNI
til LastNMinute to Save
Interest.
MANY SETTLE ACCOUNTS

In the last week there has been a
steady stream of income taxpayers at
the cashiers windows in the office of
William H. Edwards, Internal Revenue
Collector for the Second District. To-
morrow is the last day for the third
quarterly payment of taxes. and al
though it was stated at Collector Ed
wards's office that no figures of the
total collections will be made public 1t
Is expected that Uncle Sam will be en-
rtched by many millions Of dollars
when the final returns are tabulated to-
morrow.
The large corporations in the Wall
Street district, concerns whose taxes run
into six, seven and eight figures, in
variably wait until the last due date to
make their payments. BY taking full
advantage of the time limit Interest
charges are saved. One days interest
on payment ofNmillions represents a
tidy sum.
Many of these large tax payments
are made in certificates of indebtedness.
For the Information of the large tax
payers possessing these certificates OF
Indebtedness the following Treasury
ruling was given out yesterday at the
OillCe OIL SOlleClOT bQWaTuS.
Notwithstanding the provisions OF
Treasury Decision 2907 Collectors OF
Internal Revnue are authorized to ac-
cept in payment of income and profit
taxes payable September is, subject to
verification by Federal reserve banks,
interim receipts issued by Federal re-
serve banks for Treasury certificates of
Indebtedness of Series T 4. dated June 8.
1919, and maturing September Is, 1919,
and of Series T 6, dated July 1, 1919,
and maturing September Is, 1919.
Such interim receipts will be ac-
cepted as, herein otherwise provided on
same terms and conditions as definite
certificates under Treasury Decision
2907. Since interim receipts have no
interest coupons attached accrued in
terest to September Is will in every case
be remitted by check to the taxpayer
by the Federal reserve bank or branch
with which the Collector deposits the
interim receipts"
Collector Edwardss office Is ready for
the big rush OF taxes tomorrow. Five
cashiers windows will be open and a
big force of clerks is prepared to han
ole the volume of mail. Money order
and check payments by mail are So
licited to relieve any possible congestion
at the cashiers windows. Cash should
rot be sent through the mails
