In twenty.one public hearings
held by the joint legislative CON-
mittee on highways from Bristol
to Mempis, attended by 1900 or
more representatives from thirty
eight counties a practically I'M
animous assent was given TO the
general plan of the issuance o.
$50. 00O, 900 in state bonds for
the construction of approximate
" 200 miles of permanent high
way serving every county seat
and center of population in the
state. Although a vote was TAX
en- at every meeting as to weth.
er the automobile owner, who
will pay the bill is willing to pay
$500 per horse powder license
for his car, in order that the
highways may be provided. and
as to whether the people wanted
the bond issue or not. only twen-
ty-four citizens voted in the neg
alive. With the exception of the
meeting at Paris. the vote was
either unanimous or overwhelm-
ingly in favor of the bond issue.
The plan of the bond issue
proved so simple. and as no in
crease will be made in the gen
raj tax of the state, 1t met with
universal acceptance. The aut-
omobile owners are willing that
the burden be placed on them
and that the increase license fee
and the present mill tax be
made the sole means of revenue
to retire the bonds. pay the
interest and the expense Of the
highway department and provide
the necessary fund for the main
'tenance of the state highway.
The four big counties which
will pay into the fund more than
they will get out of it. have all
expressed their willingness that
this be done. The remaining
counties will get considerably
more in the way of permanent
roads than they will pay for.
The bill will be called for special
consideration early during the
session Of the legislature follow
ing recess.

Silks
Supplies of Silk Fabrics
Fall Short Of Buy
ers W07atS .

Silk goods were wanted yesterday in
quantities much in excess of the i'm
mediate supplies. Buyers from the
Middle West, the South and the Pacific
Coast sections of the country were in
the market endeavoring to get manu-
facturers to accept their orders for
shipment during the months of Janu-
orv and February next. AS rule the
r3i!l interests were averse to booking
orders for delivery SO far ahead.
Where the manufacturers accepted
orders for delivery in October, Novem-
2er- and December. it was stipulated
that the buyers were not to hold the
sellers to the exact due dates for the
deliveries. the understanding being that
the shipments would be made with all
possible expedition. Importers of French
fabrics stated that consignments we're
being received more frequently and in
Ia ger quantities. Buyers representing
the big department stores in the larger
cities purchased limited yardage Of
French metal brocaded extra width rib
bon at the wholesale price of $50 a
yard.
Business in silk hosiery, underwear
and gloves was of splendid volume.
Some of the leading manufacturers
have received so many orders that they
have recalled their travelling statesmen
from the road.

Textiles
Heauy Buying Continues
in Cotton Goods; Cam
brics Are Advanced

All kinds of cotton goods. save heavy
weight duck, were in brisk demand
yesterday both for immediate and fut-
ure delivery. The orders were placed
by resident buyers, visiting merchants
and by telegraph, while exporters also
operated on a liberal scale. Especial
activity was reported in sheetings,
drill, colored goods, print cloths and
the finer grades of bleached fabrics.
Most of the mills adhered to their POI
icy of accepting business with the un-
derstanding that deliveries~wer to be
at the convenience of the sellers.
Leading brands of cambrics, used foe
making women's underwear, were ad-
vanced to 4 cents a yard, but the
buyers did not seem to be SO mucl.
worried over the upward movement OF
prices as they were over the possibl-
ity of not being able to get the goods
in due season.
The market for gray or unbleached
cloths indicated strength in prices, and
active buying for delivery to the end
of the year. A much larger business
could have been booked were it not
that the mills were disinclined to over
reach themselves in accepting orders
for distant delivery. Owing to the
high prices prevailing for gray goods,
the basic material for the finished
fabrics, still higher levels for the
processed goods were predicted.

Metals
japanese Are Heavy Buy.
ers Of Copper; Steel
Orders Increase

Sales of copper metal at 20 cents a
pound for August delivery were re-
ported in the trade yesterday and for
September delivery some of the selling
agencies were quoting 201a cents.
Japan has been an important factor
in the copper market since May. So
far that country. has purchased ap-
proximately 32,O0O,0OO pounds, it is es-
timated, and the demand continues of
fairly large proportions.
Average bookings of the United
States Steel Corporation are at pres
ments and capacity, which means over
10000 tons daily, according to "The
Iron Trade Review" The steel in
dustry as whole, is reported to be
making good showing despite the
absence of buying by the railroads.
New orders and specifications in
sheets are reported coming in at the
rate of over 10000 tons daily. In wire
products the mills have booked orders
nearly up to capacity for the third
quarter. The rush Of demand for oil
and gas field pipe has fairly swamped
makers and some of the latter are be-
ing forced to turn away further bust
ness. Tin plate output is up to 80 per
0f T., Lon Ill
interests in the Central West are
negotiating for their forward require
ments amounting to several hundred
thousand tons.
"The Iron Age" states that June
sales of pig iron in the case of some
furnaces equalled the total for several
preceding months and that there is at
present some buying for delivery in
1920. Among the recent foreign. in
quiries noted is one for 10000 tons of
basic iron from Great Britain. Sweden
and Holland are also making. inquiries
Japan, it is stated, is in the market for
5000 tons of rails in addition to the
$4,000 tons purchased in the last two
months. France wants 5000 tons and
an equal amount of plates. Spain is
inquiring for 5000 axles, 10000 wheels
and other equipment.

Chemicals
Market Short Of Phenol
Despite Big Holdings
of Government

Reports are current among chemical
brokers that the Federal authorities will
release the governments accumulation
of phenol within the next few days.
For some time past efforts have been
made to have the government place this
material on the market. 1t is said that
about 5000 tons Of phenol are con-
trolled by the Washington officials as
the result Of heavy purchases made
during the war
Brokers report that there is short
age of phenol in the market at pres
ent due to the activity of spectators
who bought heavily few weeks ago
when they heard that the government
intended to release its stocks at prices
above quotations then ruling. Ac-
cording to one broker, it is likely that
the government will sell its phenol
at the market price and will release it
through at least two or three trade
sources so as not to cause any undue
disturbance in the market.

Leather
Au Grades of Hides Ad'
vance /; Leather Prices
Also Up

All grades of hides have advanced in
price during the last few days and in
sympathy certain classes of leather
also are being quoted at higher prices
Sole leather is now selling at 2 to 5
cents a pound above last weeks quo
tations. One Of the leading tanners
of sale leather stated yesterday that
the best grade of his product is now
quoted at s1.20 a pound.
Boston market conditions are about
on par with those prevailing here,
according to reports from that section.
1t is said that there is practically no
sole leather to be had at any price in
the Massachusetts leather centre. Tan
ners there have plenty of finished ma
terial in stock, but it has all been sold
far in advance of production. One of
the largest local concerns, which ordi-
narily carries a consider rable stock of
sole leather on its floor, yesterday was
entirely out of stock.
Heavy export orders are held re-
sponsible for the shortage in this
branch Of the industry just as it is in
the upper leather section. Foreign
buyers continue to purchase material
coming into the market and are said to
be willing to pay almost any price
asked. scandinavian purchasing agents
are large buyers.

Buying of Fall Goods
Increases i'm Volume
Showrooms of Women's Ap-
parel Concerns Are Crowd
ed With Customers

Buying of fall merchandise. espe-
cially women's wear, gained in volume
yesterday with the arrival in the mar
ket Of many new buyers from all parts
of the country. The showrooms OF the
dress, coat and suit manufacturers and
ipbbers were crowded with customers
Eager to place orders, and indications
were that the business booked during
the present selling season will far ex-
ceed earlier estimates.
Most of the buyers, it was asserted
in the trade, were ordering a good deal
more merchandise than they expected
to be delivered, and the manufacturers
were cutting down allotments accord
ingly. If the buying continues as it
started out this week it will be impos-
sible, according to-some of the largest
producers of women's apparel, to de-
liver merchandise enough to cover the
actual wants of the retailers. Shorter
working hours, fewer workers in the
needle industries and shortage of
materials are constantly cited as rea-
sons why the manufacturers do not ex-
pect to turn out as many women's
garments this season as they would un-
der normal conditions.
Buyers are said to be ordering coats
and d4esses in larger numbers than
suits. This is looked upon with favor
by the manufacturers, who say they
can produce the former more readily
than the latter.

subsequent sales will be held and a

The feathers are divided into 285

High Price of Diamonds
Restricts Buying by
importers

According to importers who. have
just returned from the Amsterdam
diamond market, the prices asked by
Dutch dealers arc SO excessive that
they deemed it advisable to restrict
purchases to their minimum require
ments. While they feel that a ready
market could be obtained here for all
the stones they could bring to this
country, importers fear the possibility
of sharp drop in prices and therefore
are unwilling to buy literally at this
time.
The serious shortage of small stones
in the United States diamond market.
it was explained, is explained partly by
the fact that American diamond cut
ters as rule will not cut stones
weighing less than thirty one hun
dredths of carat, owing to the high
level of wages in this country. While
the cost of labor has been steadily ad-
vancing in Amsterdam, wages are still
considerably lower than those received
by American workmen.
The French markets were also
visited by some of these importers,
who were searching for pearls. They
declared that iteis almost impossible
to obtain any.
1t is asid that consignments of semi
precio-s stones are now coming from
Czecho- -Slovaki to several local con-
Germs who have been sorelv in need
Of new stocks.

Overs Thrice as Cost
OF NelU Clothes Scars
Cleaning Establishments Overwhelmed With Orders
From Those Who Find Thrift Necessity as Well
as Virtue

HIGH prices for wearing apparel and
IL textiles generally are tending to
Increase in a large way the patronage
of dyers and cleaners. Many persons
not heretofore of an especially thrifty
turn Of mind have discovered that the
margin between the cost of a new gar
ment \and the charge for cleaning or
dyeing one that still has a few weeks
or perhaps a season wear left in it,
If properly renovated, is large enough
to justify any sacrifice of style or up
to. dateness that may be involved.
Henry B. Palmer, president of the
firm of Barrett, Nephews & Co., states
that while this is the time of the year
when the cleaners and dyers naturally
do their largest business, the industry
has attained degree of activity this
season exceeding any corresponding
period. The plants of this concern,
which receive work from tailoring es-
tablishments as we'll as individuals
through numerous agencies are, he
said. overwhelmed with business.
High prices for garments are fore
