faithful wife, a loving mother, de-

Heauy Buyers OF Spring Fabrics

Out-of-town buyers yesterday con-
tinued their diligent search for silk
goods, and where able to get them un-
hesitatingly paid prices asked, agree
ing to shipments whenever they could
be made. The volume OF purchasing,
especially by large Western jobbers,
was regarded as additional evidence
that merchants throughout the country
look for higher prices and increased
shortages of merchandise for spring.
One firm was reported to have bought
almost a quarter Of million dollars
worth of silks from local jobbers.
Business in the raw silk market con-
tinued active. with manufacturers in
cIeasing their orders for spring de-

Floor Coverings
Show a Further
Advance of Is
New Prices Paid Willingly
by Many Oui-of-Town
Buyers Now in Market
for Rugs and Carpets

New prices announced yesterday by
manufacturers Of carpets and rugs in
general show an increase Of 25 per cent.
Scores Of out-of town buyers now in
the city to secure spring lines of floor
coverings were not deferred in their
purchases by the advanced quotations.
Most any sort of u rug or carpet was
in demand. Not in many years, deal
ers said, has there been such an ac-
tive inquiry. Sales were restricted by
the shortage of stocks, and many OF
the retail merchants were much dis
appointed because Of their inability to
secure merchandise that was at all
commensurate with tho wants of their
customers.
Jobbers reported that their present
stocks are one-thrd less than usual at
this season, and declared there were
no prospects of obtaining more from
the mills for several months. Manu-
lacturers stated that production had
been materially impaired be-
cause of their inability to obtain suffi-
cient stocks of wool from the English
MARKET and just when that situation
was relieved by the decrease in the
forces of their mill hands. 1t was said
that mills are operating on basis OF
oU per cent normal output and they
have on hand orders which will con
sumo their entire production for the
next eight months. They refuse az a
rule to accept orders, except from old
customers, and even then are limiting
sales.
The quotations made yesterday in
cludeu the following lines in 8 by IL
dimension: Wiltons, S1lO; administer
from S34.50 to $50; velvets, from $3.50
to 500; tapestry Brussels, from $l8 to
$26
Buyers were anxious to take any
thing that dealers had to offer and
accepted the conditions of delivery
which were based on the ability to
secure goods from the mills. 1t was
pointed out that prices for rugs and
carpets have advanced about $50 per
cent during the last two years Velvet
rugs that in 1917 sold for IS TO 50
cents yard we're priced yesterday
at 81
Retail merchants brought word that
thelr customers did not hesitate TO
meet the rising prices and their busi-
ness was greater than it has been for
years. Their stocks of floor COVERINGS
arc Virtually exhausted, they said, and
Tor that reason some of them requested
express shipment of purchases where
merchandise is Immediately available.

Fur Men Subscribe to
United Building Fund
Subscriptions Piled Up Heavily
at the Trade Dinner
Last Nipht

Members of the fur trade responded
enthusiastically last night to pleas by
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky and Colonel IT.
A. Guinzburg for subscriptions to the
United Building Fund Campaign for the
Federated Jewish Institutions at their
first "get-together" meeting Mt the
Pennsylvania Hotel. The larger part of
the half million dollars asked from the
fur trade was subscribed by the eight
hundred representatives of the fur in
dustry present. Max Cohen, of M.
Cohen u Bros, presided at the meeting.
Ialks on trade topics were made by a
number of speakers. Adolph Engle re-
ported progress by the national com
mittee of the fur industry in the fight
against the 10 per cent luxury tax on
furs imposed last January.
Fred Kaufman, president of the AS
sociated Fur Manufacturers. drew ap-
plause by his statement that the terms
on which manufacturers buy must be
The manufacturer, he said, is the only
man in the fur industry who is expect
ed to grant long credit. while the deal
ers, the trappers, the dyers and retail
ers all received cash or prompt pay
ments.
Judge Rosalsky promised to tell the
trade committees Il method of secret
ly marking furs for Identification,
which he has learned through his ex-
perience in disputes over the identity
of many kinds Of articles. j. II.
Bleistein had previously commented
on the lack of such a means as a
serious handicap to honest dealers.
Judge Rosalsky said he did not wish
to make the nature of the method pub
lie lest the dishonest persons against
whom it offers a protection might take
advantage of it and so defeat its pur-
pose, but the committees would be
free to communicate it to members Of
the industry.
Colonel Philip Fouke. of st. Louis,
warned the fur men against the danger
TO the trade in the rcopening Of trans
atlantic tramp. He said that 1875 OO0,-
600 American customers belong to
American dealers, and that it was the
trades duty to make the public realize
that the finest workmanship and styles
can be obtained in the American mar

An extensive exhibit of upper glove
and fancy leather. which is now in
great demand in France, will be dis

exhibit includes complete sets of box
calf, glazed kid leather, wax splits and
fine sheep and lamb skins, which are
used largely in the manufacture Of

Limits Exports Of
Silks to Increase
Supply at Home

Because Of the scarcity OF silk goods
in this country American dealers
ought greatly to curtail the sale Of
such merchandise in foreign countries,
according to Samuel Eisman. A leading
silk jobber In his own organization,
which has branches in many of the
large cities Of Europe and South
America, Mr.. Eisman has ordered that
not more than 10 per cent of the
goods available shall be sold outside
of the United States
Il regard this policy as q patriotic
duty Mr.. Eisman said, and If adopt
ed by other exporters feel that the
volume Of goods thus diverted 90
home consumption would be sufficient
10 lower the cost of merchandise ma
terlally. These costs are based on
nothing else but production far be-
low the demand. And how can We bet
ter and more quickly increase the sup
ply Tor our own country than by sell
ing our output here rather than
abroad?
81 could sell every yard Of goods
at prices that would be 10 and Is
cents yard higher than those ! get
here. That is true in other lines, and
the temptation 10 increase their
profits is one that many of tho manu-
tacturers and exporters cannot resist
But money Is not everything. and
truth of that is particularly applica-
bic to this case.
This country and its people should
come first, and for that reason | have
cut my export business down to 10 per
cent of that transacted by my firm.
1--WE will be faced with this under
production until labor realizes that
forty and forty-four hours a week is
not sufficient for an output equal to
the demand. Fifty hours work a
week never harmed any one, but the
present short weeks are harming every
individual in the country because they
are one Of the most potent causes Of
present high prices for all commodi-

TEXTILES-Conon Goods for
Spring Being Ordered Freely

Local jobbers of drygoods are receiv-
ing orders for spring merchandise in
increasing demand from retail mcr-
chants throughout the country. Their
road statesmen are doing an especially
large business in wash and white fab
rics, orders being extensively placed
because Of the predominating belief
that prices on these lines are scheduled
While fall fabrics are still being
ordered freely, the season is about
over and such purchases are for re-
placing Of stock for which tho retail
demand continues heavy
The probability Of higher prices for
spring goods is based on the shortage
Of bleached fabrics. Bliss-F -Fabyan, one
Of the largest firms here, have just an
nounced new prices on sheeting which
is offered at 72i2 cents yard for the
standard size. 1t was stated that these
prices are effective only for the Decem-
Der output. as that is all that can be
sold at present. The demand for sheet
ings, particularly in the wide construc-
tions, has been unusually heavy in the
face of the limited production. job
bers yesterday evinced q keen desire
for them, asking for deliveries to be
made through the remainder OF the
year
Spectators in bleached goods. be-
cause they own most of the stocks
available for immediate shipment,
boosted their prices and secured 19Na
cents yard for standard 64-60s, and
f31s cents for 6S-72s.
Mill agents are growing increasingly
pcrplexed over the shortage Of fabrics
Tor shirts. Prices for such goods are
about 80 per cent higher than six
months ago. One Of the largest shirt
manufacturers in the country in April
bought madras shirting at prices
averaging about 23ts cents a yard
Recently the same manufacturer placed
a large duplicate order and had to pay
around SS cents for the goods. 1ndica-
tions are that another advance of pos
sibly 10 per cent viii soon take place.
Tho shortage of woven madras has
brought about brisk demand for
printed shirtings, and sales of these
