COLOred Cotton Goods for
Making Shirts in Bet
ter Demand

While there was fair degree of ac-
tivity in colored as we'll as bleached
cotton goods yesterday, the market for
gray or unbleached fabrics was dull. 1t
was reported that manufacturers of
mems shirts had been spurrcd into
buying goods which they use by the
prospects of enlarged demands from
men who have been demobilizcd. job
bers bought fair quantities Of colored
goods, mainly for near future ship
ment, but it also was reported that
the recent price reductions had not de-
veloped as much business as expected.
On the contrary, the lower prices were
declared to have brought about more
conservative attitude among buyers.
In the bleached goods end of the
market jobbers and cutters operated in
a fair way, without showing any dispo-
sltlon to cover their far future needs.
Some of the manufacturers of bleached d
fabrics stated that they were quite con-
tent to work off the current outputs of
their mills, and that they were not
anxious to take large orders for dis
tant delivery, present price levels be-
ing too far below the line of profit to
warrant them in taking business for
ether than near future shipment. In
all quarters there was a disposition to
keep IN close touch with the trend of
the negotiations for peace, as it is
expected that the actual signing of the
treaty Will be the signal for an out
burst OF buying IN cotton goods.

A commercial paper broker has just
returned from trip in the South where
he made it his business to talk to folk
in various lines. He talked to hard
ware man, to an asbestos dealer, to an
iron manufacturer, to drygoods mer-
chant, to druggists, to wholesale
grocers. And he found a certain con-
dition general. These men arc "sell-
ing, selling. selling;" most Of them
have gotten rid OF dead stocks; they
are buying cautiously and carefully,
just as much as they need to keep on
selling, and little more. Most of them
arc also working 10 cut down long
time extensions Of credit. Lines which
formerly extended six months credit
have succeeded in doing business on
three months basis. Wholesale
grocers work on a thirty-day basis.
The curtailmcnt Of tho credit period
has put these merchants in a better
position; they need to borrow less;
and their policy OF not stocking up
has had the same tendency. But this
broker finds many Of his customers
maintaining their usual line OF bor-
rowing, not cnlarging, but not contract
ins.
Yesterdays market was unchanged.

Little new paper is coming on the

Some OF the banks seem to believe
that the $2OO0oO,o0O bond issue to be

considered attractive; its freedom
from the normal tax brings the yield
to $40 per cent. But as the money

needs of the railroads, and not the
financing of foreign trade, as at first

Export Trade in Cotton Goods
Restrained by Unsettled Prices

Cotton goods exporters say the mer-
chants of Cuba, Central America and
Porto Rico need supplies, but fearing
lower prices they are not disposed to
buy in a large way. Dealers in Cuba.
1t is said, have been buying below
their normal requirements for the last
twelve months, and recent offerings
of goods at low prices by American
Jobbers have made them unusually
cautious about placing orders in the
United States. But it was SUGGESTED
that the leading Cuban merchants. who
have been favored by the sound bust
,e nes condition of their country, will
buy goods once they become convinced
Of the stability of prices. The Central
American merchants, it was stated.
prefer to buy fabrics on a hand TO-
mouth basis until such time as the
markets of the United States Give
clear indications of steadiness. In
Porto Rico the shelves of the leadino
merchants were declared to be bare
of goods. and that the only reason for
their not stocking up was concern
over falling prices. ''ee'" e"

Rubber
Manufacturers OF Rubber.
ised Fabrics Look for
Big Foreign, Trade

American manufacturers of rubber
lied fabric apparel have established
the nucleus of big export business
as the result of the war time demand
for these goods by foreign countries.
Prior to the the war little business was
done abroad by concerns in this coun-
try, but being cut off from other
sources of supply foreign dealers had
to turn to America for raincoats and
other rubberized apparel. The goods
shipped, 1T is declared, made such "a
favorable impression in point of style,
workmanship and serviceablity, com
pared with products of other countries,
that it is expected q permanent trade
channel has been opened.
According to II. l.. Kenyon, vice
president of the c. Kenyon Company.
one result of the war was an especially
active demand for rubberized materials
and raincoats from Scandinavian coun-
tries, which formerly bought this mer-
chandise from Germany and England.
Even Iceland, he says, made purchases
that would have been appropriate for
Atlantic City
THE aggregate of the business" de-
clared Mr.. Kenyon yesterday, gave
the American manufacturers glimpse
into the world trade for manufactured
articles that had only been enjoyed
heretofore largely by the exporters Of
raw materials. How fleeting this
glimpse will be depends upon the wis
dom of our governmental policy which
is so necessary to the encouragement
Of the export field, and which, in the
past, has been INDUCED in only by
foreign governments, to the detriment
of the American export trade"

JObbers in Floor
Coverings Look for
LARGE Fall Trade

Jobbers of carpets, rugs and other
floor coverings are looking forward to
the largest business in their history
during the next six months. At meet
ing of the National Wholesale Floor
Covering Association at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel last night, opinions were
expressed to this effect. The jobbers
believe that since the manufacturers
of floor coverings generally have guar
ahteed their opening prices on goods
for next fall to October I, and since
these prices appear to be as low as
present conditions warrant, there is
every inducement for retailers to re-
plenish their depleted stocks.
Reports from jobbers in various Sec
tions of the country indicated that bus
mess has been good during the past
three months owing to a desire on the
part Of retailers to take in merchan-
disc for immediate sale.
A sentiment developed at the meet
ing that jobbers' discount of 20 per
cent off the manufacturers list price
was necessary if the iobber is to con-
duct business profitably. The execu-
tive committee was instructed to call
upon one or two manufacturers of
linoleum in an effort to induce them
to change their list price from SO
cents a yard to 73 cents a yard, which
most manufacturers have quoted, and
to change their jobbers' discount from
Is per cent to 20 per cent.

Trade With Poland and
Esthonia Now Permitted
transfer of Funds to Dealers i'm
Those Countries Also Can
Be Made

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The War
Trade Board announced to-day the re-
sumption of trade with Poland and
Esthonia. the latter being one of the
four Baltic provinces in Northwest
Russia
Action by the board permitting per
sons in the United States to trade and
communicate freely with the two
countries, the announcement said, was
taken concurrently with the associated
governments and followed a decision
reached in Paris.
Shipment of commodities to Poland
should be routed via Danzig, the an
nuoncement by the War Trade Board
said. The Allies are now believed to
have the situation relative to Danzig
so we'll in hand that shipments through
the German port may be made with
safety.
Transfers of funds by dealers to
persons not enemies or allies of enc
mics, resident in Esthonia, .Lettland,
Lithuania and Poland will be permit
ted under regulation announced to-
day by the Federal Reserve Board.

Leather
Imports Of Hides Are Not
Large Enough to Allevi-
ate Leather Scarcity

Tanners and leather dealers hold lit
tie hope of general improvement de-
veloping in the leather stock market for
some time to come. They say that the
country is now working almost excu-
sively on domestic hides, the imports
not being large enough to alleviate the
shortage. European countries are short
Of leather and have been entering the
South American hide and skins mar
kets with bids exceeding by about 25
per cent those that American interests
could offer.
Another angle to the European situa-
ton that the leather men consider seri-
ously is the curtailment of cattle
stocks as the result Of the heavy
slaughter during the war, and the pos
sibilties eS steps being taken to con-
serve the present cattle. Dealers in
calfskins are particularly interested in
any steps that may be taken to stop
the killing of cattle. for if such action
was taken it would mean that their
supply OF hides from abroad would be
shut off for some time to come.

rived in New York, but so marked is
the scarcity of this commodity that it
made no apprecable change in the sit

age of goatskins has been serious Sew

cause of the lack of working materials
According to a leather broker, buyers
are seeking every lot of goatskins un-

Some of tho selling agents for silk
mills reported yesterday that business
had receded somewhat, but others in
sisted that orders had kept up we'll
A number Of Canadian buyers, also
some from the eastern part Of the
United States were noticed in few
of the salesrooms and it was stated
that they had placed fairly good orders
for spring and summer fabrics, the
goods to be delivered during April,
May and June.
Buying of the fall weaves was of
fair proportions, but a number of the
more important houses have not paid
much attention as yet to this class of
month trade in fall goods is expected
to open on large scale, and when it
does manufacturers do not look for
buyers to bubble about prices. 1t was
intimated that demand will run to the
better grades of silks and that the
inferior products will be neglected
just as they have been during the
spring buying season.
Even those jobbers who have been
accustomed to dealing in socalled
"truck" merchandise were reported as
having changed their preferences to
the higher class weaves. Manufact-
urers asserted that production at the
silk mills was backward, although
there are more operatives employed
in the various plants than there were
at this time year ago.
Demand for spun or waste silk was
in active demand yesterday and it was
reported that supplies of the product
were light. This material is largely
used in filling charmeuse, satins and
shirtings. Prices are being maintained
at relatively high levels.
Raw silk for immediate delivery was
in good demand in the New York mar
ket and it was rumored that heavy
sales had been made at Yokohama.
American manufacturers of silk fab

Higher Wage Scales Be.
come Effective in Prori-
dence Factories

The luxury" tax on jewelry became
effective yesterday, as did also an
agreement providing for an increase in
wages to the workers employed by a
large number of jewelry manufacturing
concerns in the Providence, R. l., dis
trict
Under the revenue law the retailer
is required to pay tax of per cent
on the price at which an article is sold
to the consumer. The tax is applied to
all varieties of jewelry, whether real or
imitation, including pearls, precious
and semi-precious stones, articles made
of or ornamented, mounted or fitted
with precious metals or limitations
thereof or ivory (not including surgi-
cal instruments); watches, clocks.
opera glasses, lorsnettes, marine
glasses, field glasses and binoculars.
How the tax will affect sales remains
to be seen, but the jewellers say that it
is too small an item to cause any great
hesitancy upon the part of the buying
public.
Jewelry of various kinds will be in
huenced by the increased wages
granted the Providence workers. Just
how the manufacturers will pass this
increase on to the trade is not known
yet, it is said, but it is expected that
retailers buying stock, for the 1920
holiday season will have to pay more
for their goods than now.
Manufacturers already have their
statesmen out with samples of jcwelry
to be sold during the Christmas holi-
days. 1t is too early to make any pre-
dictions on the volume of business that
will be done, they say, but general con-
ditions in the trade are such as to lead
them to believe it will be up to last
years record. Goods ordered now will
be ready for delivery in the fall.
Watch importers say that they have
received their samples from abroad for
next seasons models and that they are
now being shown to the out-of- town
trade. One importer, whose concern in
Switzerland sold number of watches
and chronometers to the United States
government during the war for use in
the navy, declared that he received
shipments regularly from his factory
during the war and suffered no loss of
goods in transit. His watches were
sent through the mail and shipped
from Bordeaux, France.

Silk Raising Promises to
Become NeV Texas Industry
Production of Fibre ON Commercial Scale Starts
on Thousand-Acre Cocoon FARM Financed
by Leading Business Men of Lone Star State

we're conducted and the commercial
possibilities of the industry.
1t is the purpose of the company to
provide mulberry trees for planting
silkworm farms and to also supply
the necessary original stock of eggs.
The latter are furnished free of charge
and the company agrees to purchase
all cocoons produced by the farmers at
price of Is cents per pound. 1t is
thought that very large supply OF
raw silk will be coming from this
source within the next few years. In
structions for carrying on the work of
propagating silkworms, producing and
handling the cocoons and other details
of the business are said to be simple.
Baby Worms Like Chopped Leaves
DR.. Osigan says that wnen the eggs
are laid they should be spread out
thinly in ordinary cardboard boxes or
preferably on trays two and half or
three inches deep, made of narrow
strips fastened together and covered
with cheese cloth. These trays may
and stacked in tiers or racks, one
above the other. The boxes or trays
containing the eggs should be kept in
room of ordinary temperature, rs to
o5 degrees, and the young, tiny worms
will hatch in from five to eight days,
AS they hatch it is necessary to trans
fer them to another tray and feed
them young, tender mulberry leaves.
The leaves are chopped up fine for the
baby worms. The silkworm is
voracious eater and grows rapidly.
During the twenty-five days Of its life
1T increases in size $4,000 times. In
few days after being hatched the
worms are large enough to eat full
grown mulberry leaves.
The silkworms are kept under shell
ter all the time. The leaves are gath
cred once day and placed in the trays
for the worms to feed upon. 1t is n
stay-at home kind of insect and never
attempts to crawl out of the tray. Its
prime object in life seems to be to eat
its fill of mulberry leaves. In twenty
five days the silkworm is full grown.
three to four inches long, and as large
around as mans little finger. A few
weeds, such as broomweed, pepper
grass, or similar vegetation, or even
branchcs OF trees, are placed in the
trays at this stage Of the silkworm's
ocveloment. The worms quickly attach
themselves to the weeds or branches
in the trays and enter upon their last
phase of life. They begin spinning
their cocoons by attaching threads
from one branch to another, as anchor.
ropes. as it were. They then begin
spinning around and around, making a
perfect cocoon about the size and
shape OF large pecan when finished.
The worm, of course, remains inside,
1t takes the silkworm about three davs
to weave a cocoon, which usually con-
tains a fine thread about 1900 yards
long.

Export Demand for
Heavy Chemicals

Export demand for heavy industrial
chemicals is increasing, while the do
mestic market remains dull. Substan-
tial orders have been received from
England, France, Italy and Spain for
ammonium sulphate, which is used for
fertilzing purposes. The demand from
the Far East, notably Japan, continues
active. The latter country was yes
terday reported by one dealer to have
come into the market for caustic soda,
soda ash and phenol. These orders
came more or less as a surprise, as
Japanese dealers were supposed to
have large stocks of these chemicals
on hand. Inquiries for large shipments
Of acetate Of lime from the same
sources were also reported.
