Domestic buying of colors continues

tract for future business DESPITE indica-
tons now that few German color will
como into this country. Dye manufact
urcrs say that the Longworth hill FUR

stuHs assert
Direct black continued in strong de-
mand from foreign, and to a lesser de-
gree, from domestic consumers. Di-
rect brown also took a larger place in
the buying, while Congo red was sold
to both home and foreign buyers. An
active inquiry was reported for chino

Retail Stores Now
Selling Fall Apparel
High Prices Do Not Stop
Women Who Have Money
to Snend

Women already are buying fall ap-
rarel in large quantities and at prices
which indicate prosperous season for
thc retailers, according to the merchan-
disc managers for one Of the large de-
partment stores. His sales records for
the past two weeks show that the
business in the womcns apparel de-
partments of the store has been about
equally divided between summer and
fall garments. The general price aver
age paid by the women, he said, is
much higher than last year, and even
above the general increase in ali prices,
indicating that better qualities are
wanted now.
No falling off of sales. this man says,
is noticed as a result of the Govern
mcnt's war on high prices, and de-
crease is not expected.
The people who have the money to
spend arc not worrying about high
prices, and those who kick against
present values have little money to
spend and have economical all along
We bought heavily when the manuiac-
turers and jobbers first showed fall
garments in April and May and are
now filling In only on the latest
styles.'

LEAIiER-Purchose DELAYED
In Hope OF Drop in Prices

Whlle the lull in the leather market
continued yesterday, local dealers were
conhdent that renewal of the buvino
could be expected any day. They at
trlbuted the present dull period to the
threat OF government investigation into
Prohteering. The prospective leather
buyer has manifested an inclination to
delay needed purchases for a few davs
IN the nope Of drop in prices.
Dealers state that when buvinp does
begin once more it will be more active
than ever, not only because of deferred
purchases, but because it will be es-
tablished definitely then that prices are
resting on a solid foundation. Regard
less OF whether there is government
investigation dealers do not expect a
decline. The demand for leather is so
urgent that orders have to be refused
Inc supply of leather is comparatively
so small that manufacturers are will
ing to pay any price so long as thew
get the goods. AS an index to the
character of the market one dealer
sad the government offered for sale
IN Philadelphia three weeks ago large
amounts of leather Bids were sent in.
but were cancelledb by Washington. Last
week this same leather, it is said, was
sold IN Chicago at prices averaging II
per cent more than those submitted in
Philadelphia.

ROBBER-HoiderS OF Crude
Rubber UnUiiling to Cut Prices

Although the crude market is we'll
sustained, prices remaining firm, trad
ing continues dull Buyers are bicker-
ing over fractions OF cent on pur-
chases and the unwillingness of sellers
to shade figures has affected the vol
ume OF business that might be trans
acted. Holders of crude rubber stock :
seem confident that their prices VIII be
met sooner or later and, accordingly
nave adopted a waiting policy.
Prices yesterday were slightly lower
than Saturdays closing figures. Para,
upper river fine, declined from 54a
cents pound to "a cents; Para, upper
river coarse. was z cent lower at 81
cents pound; plantation rubber
brown, crepe, thin, clean dropped from
5 g cents pound to SO cents. Para
hrst latex, pale crepe, advanced 10
cent TO 43 a cents pound.
Dealers stated that the auction Of
z;'oo tons Of crude rubber had taken
place at Singapore, but that prices. as
yet, had not been received. 1t was re-
UNCHANGED. vas

TEXTILES-Speculators Force
Mills to Withdra,c Cotton Goods

Not all the dulness in the cotton
goods market Yesterday could be LAID
to New York's latest innovation in
transportation. Many buyers were
kept away from the salesrooms of the
leading commission concerns because
OF the difficulty of getting anywhere
near the downtown section Of .he
city, but the selling agents did not
try to convey the impression that
if conditions had been normal thev
would have transacted much larger
volume Of business. The truth is
that the market has entered upon a
period Of dulness from which it is
not expected to emerge much before
the latter part Of next month and
possibly not until we'll along in
October, when the mills will be getting
IN shape to book orders for spring
goods
Meantime the manufacturcrs both
of print cloths and fine goods are
employed as fully as possible in tie
effort to fill orders on the books for
fall goods eXpeditiously They are
not taking any new business to speak
OF because they refuse to meet tha
cut in .'rices forced upon the market
by spectators and smaller dealers.
who have been frightened into IN
loading their holdings by the talk Of
price Investigations. In the aggrc-
gate these holdings have proven much
larger than the trade in general
would have been willing to admit a
few weeks ago, and the offering have
been quite ample to supply most of the
demand that has put in an appearance
IN the last week or ten days.
Some sales of gray goods in sec
ond hands were reported yesterday at
IS Il cents for 64-60s Of 3S'2 inch
width. This was slightly above the
low price al which sales of the same
class of goods were made las. week
The mills price for these goods is
still lS3a cents. Prices for staple
lines of fine goods, such as plain
lawns, organdies and poplins, have
been cut IN price by second hands to
the extent of one cent or more a
yard.
Advices from New Bedford state
thai the manufacturers are taking
what is believed to be the only safe
course to bring prices once more TO
normal levels, by increasing the pro-
duction. Some are adding to their
plants, while others are filing vacant
areas with extra machinery with the
view OF increasing individual output
Little change from present conditions
is looked for during the next month
and the manufacturers are taking ad -
vantage of The interval to catch uu
on deliveries and prepare for the
active market which they are confident
is coming IN the early winter.

Spring Woollens
Being Allotted
To Old Customers
Buyers Search the Market
for Tricotines and Sergcs;
Jobbers Book Big Orders
From Western Buyers

Apparel manufacturers according to
woollcn jobbers, have eased up in their
buying of heavyweight materials for
use this winter and are now CEN
trjng their attention on goods for
spring. An unusually large number of
cloak. suit and dress manufacturers
visited the jobbers' quarters yester-
day asking for serges. tricotines and
lightweight vciours. In most cases
they were told nc goods were to be
had.
Tricotines arc said to be slightly
more plentiful than serges or velours,
as several shipments came through
from the mills last week. Early in
the day some jobbers were inclined to
release small quantities Of tricotines
at about 25 cents yard less than
these goods brought last week but be
fore the close of business prices had
reverted to last week level. 1t is said
TO be almost impossible to obtain a
good serge or tricotine from jobbers
at less than S5 a yard.
Some sales of mems woollen suit;ngs
were made Yesterday by jobbers~to
small eStern ClOthlng manufacturers.
Several st Louis buyers were reported
IN the market and one Texas manu-
facturcr was said to have placed large
orders for suitings with one Of the
leading jobbers.
Some mill agents continue to allot
spring goods to old customers and
more Of these "allotment opening"
are expected during the week. Buyers
who are on the books of the selling
agents take advantage Of these offer
ikgs as soon as they are announced
and the allotment process usually is
completed within a week or less Buy
ers say that if the allotments are con-
tinued at the present pace they will re-
ceve only about one-tenth of their
normal cloth requirements for the
spring season.

America Winning Back
Trade With China
Loans as Means Of Further
Expansion of Sales
Advocated

Trade relations between the United
States and China are showing results
increasingly favorable to the United
States and it is believed that during
the next decade American merchants
will have once moro become the dom
inant figures in China's foreign trade,
according 10 report just issued by
tho American Chamber OF Commerce
of China
The report embraces operations
during the year 1918-l9 and briefly re
views the history Of American trade in
China. with predictions for It's future
expansion 1t is shown that during
1860 the United States took Al per cent
OF China's foreign trade, but these fig
urcs decreased until 1910, when they
were 6.o per cent. Since that time
steady increase has been maintained d
until 1917, when Americas share of
the Chinese trade reached Ts LOG,
100000. or l6 per cent Of the total A
list of American imports during 1918
shows that cigarettes, kerosene, cotton
piece goods and leather were the mos,
favored by Chinese merchants. OF
the export trade the United State.
took 56 per cent of Chna's total ship
ments of raw silk, over $4,000 900;
DO per cent of egg products. 50 per cen
Of SKINS and hides and 46 per cen,
OF green tea exported from that coun-
Try
The report of the Chamber of Com
merce emphasizes the value of encour
aging American loans to China and the
sale OF Chinese securities in the
American markets, giving as the rea.
sons that Chinese trade follows the
loan. 1t also pleads for the establish
ment IN China Of American banking
facilities capable of quoting dollar ex-
change and of participating in the
commercial and industrial enterprises
OF that country. Among other expan-
SONS advocated is an enlargement of
the cable service between this country
and the Orient, it being pointed out
that the present service is not capable
- accommodating the volume of busi
ness. which is constantly increasing

S1LkS-Dcn1anM Centres on
Broad Fabrics Of Staple Pattern

Business in the silk goods market
yesterday was largely limited 10 small
purchases by local garment makers and
a few out of town retail merchants
Many of the firms took advantage of
the inactivity, contributed to in large
measure by the strcetcar strike, to con-
centrate on the shipment Of mcrchan-
disc, deliveries Of which are DELAYED
by the heavy buying of the last month.
lhose sales reported yesterday were
Of broad silks in staple patterns, with
Inning materials being in heaviest de-
mand.
Conditions in the silk trade of the
country as reflected in the local markc t
briefly may be described as follows:
All factions, as whole, are looking
to continuation of prosperity, bas-
ing their predictions on reports from
the retail trade. Dealers throughout
the country find the demand far in ex-
cess of their stocks. They are making
freqNent trips to this market in search
of merchandise and say that all indi-
cations point TO a record spring busi-
ness. Jobbcrs speak Of their business
as one in which there is a ready mar
ket for any fabric they have to offer

Garment Industry Menaced
Bv CurtniIed Cloth Supply
Prediction Is Made That Many Factories Will
Have to Close if Woollen Mills Do Not In
Allotment of Their Spring Fabrics

the industry will be thrown out Of
jobs, and the use of trimmings, but
tons, Innings, etc, curtailed in similar
proportions"
Many of the garment manufacturers
say they cannot understand why the
production of spring materials should
be SO limited. They bring up the fact
that they were fairly we'll supplied
with fabrics all during the war when
the government had taken over about
half of the loomage of the country.
With the ceasing Of this big demand,
they say, the mills should be able to
devote more production to the regular
trade
Despite assertions of the mills that
three months output was lost early
this year by business hcsitancy and
that present production is hampered
by the shortage of labor and yarn,
strikes and other influences, the gar
mcnt makers are convinced that the
mills are planning to devote much Of
their output Of spring goods to the
export trade. This is the only ex
planation they can figure out for the
limited offering Of goods to the do
mestic users.
