BUYERS Swarm
Market Again for
Women's Apparel
Complaints About Prices
Are Loudest From Pur-
chases of Medium and
Lower Grades of Goods

More out of town buyers were in the
market for women's wearing apparel
yesterday than on any other day this
season, according to several manufact-
urers. Many showrooms were so crowd
ed that buyers were compelled to await
is estimated that more business will
be booked in fall and winter apparel
lines this week than last, when the
present buying season opened with a
rush and orders placed, figured in the
dollars and cents value of the mer-
chandise ordered, established record
Manufacturers of high grade gay-
ments say that the buyers register
fewer complaints about prices with
them than they do with the makers of
medium and low priced merchandise.
In the lower end of the trade cost is
said to be still large factor in mer-
chandising despite the fact that the
public as a whole has more money to
spend than ever.
81 am operating more conservatively
on the medium and low priced lines
than | am in the expensive grades"
said the buyer for a Far Western store
yesterday. IL mas Deen my experience
that price still is the prime considera-
tion with many women of limited in
come. In the general advances we
will be forced to charge for our mer-
chandise this fall. l think the retailers
will find sales in the medium and low
priced lines harder than they did last
year. Those of large incomes will paw
the increased prices for the best quail
ity of merchandise without murmur-
ing. That always has been true"
Many manufacturers. especially IN
the cloak and suit trade. have revised
the price tickets on their display
samples upward since last week. The
head of one concern admitted that he
had put scale of weekly advances in
to effect under which a woman's coat,
for instance, which sold for $40 last
week will cost $47.50 by the Liter part
of August.
Increases in the number of orders
over last week appear to be larger
among dress and waist manufacturers
than among the sellers of coats and
suits. One dress manufacturer ex-
planned that many buyers of both the
heavier and lighter garments arrived
in the city last week and purchased
their cloaks and suits before turning
their attention to the dresses and
waists. These buyers now are making
their selections of the lighter gar
ments.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-15

DEALERS in machine tools are look
ing for a revival of trade in their
line this fall. When this expected
buying movement once gets we'll under
way, the prediction is made that 1t
will extend over a period of several
years. In discussing the outlook yes
terday, Frank Suess, manager of Hill,
Clarke & Co., Inc, said:
Judging by the large number of in
quiries for machine tools, the captains
of industry throughout the United
States are planning for an outburst of
industrial activity Factories will be
constructed to turn out new products.
Government war work having been
suspended, industrial operations have
not only been resumed along normal
lines, but the spirit for venturing into
new fields is opening up new outlets
for American ingenuity.
'The war accustomed Americas in
dustrial units to large scale produc-
ton, and efforts will be made to keep
things keyed up now that peace has
come. Various concerns will utilize
war equipment for the manufacture of
motor driven washing machines and
other labor saving devices. Germany
formerly turned out quantities of ma
chimes for knitting silk sweaters, the

Cloak and Dress Men
Resist Designers Demand

Manufacturers of cloaks and suits
yesterday expressed themselves as pre-
pared to refuse the demands of their
designers for 40 per cent increase
in wages. Through the United Cloak
and Suit Designers Mutual Aid Associ-
alton, the manufacturers have been
notified of resolution asking for the
wage increase, passed at a recent meet
ing Of the organization.
The designers will hold a special
meeting at the Bush Terminal Sales
Building tonight, at which methods
of enforcing the demands probably
will be discussed and adopted.
"The Designers" said one manufact-
urer yesterday, "are the most highly
paid employees we have. They certain
ly are not justified in asking for
larger salaries. Many of them al
ready make more than $4,000 year"

London Offers Good Mar
ket for Skins of Nearly
All Vnrieties

Rising price tendencies, with strong
demand for almost all articles, charac-
terizes the London market at present,
according to cable advices received yes
terday by Albert L. Monjo, American
agent for A. & w. Nesbitt, Ltd, Lon
don. Consignments are advised for the
fall sale which begins October 16.
The cable reports that muskrat is
completely sold out in London and that
the demand for goods suitable for seal
dyeing continues. Skunk is in excel
lent demand with prices 10 to Is per
cent above those of May. Long striped
and white skunk are wanted particu-
larly. There is strong demand for
raw central and northern opossum, and
especially for large selected skunk
dyed skins. No stocks Of 'raccoon skins
are on hand, and there is strong de-
mand for central, northern and eastern
skins. Otter is wanted, both in it's nat
ural and plucked states. It is thought
it will sell we'll in the next sales at the
May prices. Wolverine is in excellent
demand. White fox is selling we'll at
May prices. Blue fox is in good de-
May prices Silver fox is in strong
demand, and silvcries, it is believed
will advance over the last sale prices
The demand for cross foxes is strong
and they are expected to sell we'll
Supplies of the best grades of mink are
small and the demand is excellent
There are fairly good supplies of the
medium and lower grades of mink, with
a dull market. The best grades of
lynx are in strong demand. There is
an excellent demand for large white
ermine skins; medium and lower
grades are not so good The demand
for western wolf is excellent and good
for northwestern and southwestern.
The high price of Canadian wolf pelts
makes them difficult to SELL The de-
mand for black and brown bear skins
is excellent.
The following articles, according to
the cables, are not in such good de-
mand: Central and southwestern mink,
badger, fisher, gray fox and southern

Raw Silk Weakening
Italian Product Being Sold at
Decline in Price

Trade in raw silk yesterday was of
light volume. Prices for the leading
Japanese grades continued to move
downward Shinshiu No. 1 was quoted
at the equivalent of $3.50 pound, this
being decline of 20 cents since last
Friday. and Kansai double extra
brought $1O50, against the recent
record level of S11.65. 1t was inti-
mated by leading local brokers that
the declines had been induced by eau
tious buying on the part of manufac-
turers who are disturbed by reports
that their operatives will carry out
their threat to strike for shorter work
ing hours. Besides the offerings Of
Italian silk, on the basis of S1025 to
$1,000 pound, have brought about a
competition that the Japanese sellers
have not deemed it prudent to disre-
gard.

Bids On Silk Cartridge Cloth
Rejected by War Departmen,

AS the bids received for the govern
ments surplus offering of 100000
yards of silk cartridge cloth were
deemed too low, the eighteen proposals
from willing buyers have been rejected
by the War Department. 1t was an
nounced yesterday that the silk, which
is in an unprocessed shape, may be
offered at private sale. Under the
governments first offer individual bids
for less than $4,000 yards of the cloth
were not entertained, but it was inti-
mated that when the fabric is again
put up for sale buyers probably will
be permitted to purchase in compara-
lively small lots.

Seek British Mohairs
Large Orders for Tropical
Clothes Are Reported

South America, Russia, India and
Egypt are placing large orders with
British mills for mohairs and other
tropical cloths, according to a cable
received yesterday by the local agent
Of prominent English textile con-
Germ. A limited supply of British
made mohairs was offered in this
market few days ago and quickly
sold. Deliveries were promised FOR
the spring of 1920
British made woollens are coming
throlgh to this country slowly, &C
cording to agents here. Much of the
cloth now being received was ordered
as early as year ago. The British
mills are making strenuous efforts to
held their trade here, but production
is so small it is said, that only a
limited supply can be shipped to this
country.

Business Money

mercial paper market yesterday was
light. Business as a rule was on a 512
per cent basis, with some especially
prime paper going at 5A per cent.
Local bankers are not doing much.
Commercial houses have shown little
indication as yet Of increasing their
seasonal borrowings. The general dis
position seems to be to wait until next
month or later. Most houses are
New-York tribune., 1919-07-15

strongly intrenched and are not bor-
rowing to the extent of other years.
This may mean a much more active
commercial market later in the year,
however, in view of the rapidity with
which business is, going ahead in most
Of the commercial lines.
Out bankers are again buy
ing paper on a more active scale. In
the acceptance market the volume Of
business moving is comparatively small
