'LEATHER-RecOrdO Orders
for Spring Shoes Placed

Retailers are placing record break
ing orders for all grades of spring
shoes. Apparently they are convinced
that on account Of the reported short
age of high grade leather manufac
turers will not sell footwear early next
year any cheaper than now. and con-
sequently regard it expedient to place
ordcrs far enough in advance to assure
delivery in time to meet the early
spring demand.
Stocks Of winter shoes are reported
to be rapidly decreasing, and many of
the large retailers have been forced to
end hurry calls to the manufacturers
for additional supplies. The demand
is equally divided between the b ack
and tan styles. The brogue and so-cal'ed
winged tip style, both in black and
tan, continues to be the leading seller.
These styles which formerly could be
purchased for from SO to $40. now
bring s12 to $15. In footwear for the
ladies' back oxfords to be worn with
spats or the now popular woolen
stockings are in good demand Ladies
button shoes also are in good favor.

COTTONS-Conrerters
W0ifing for LOtper Prices

Many converters Of cotton goods say
Shey are waiting fora break In the
market to buy additional supplies of
grey or unfinished fabrics, which they
use for converting into blcached or
printed goods. Cotton goods brokers
dealing in grey goods assert that the
buying on the part of converters has
oeen remarkably light during the past
week. Brokers believe that most of
the rece:.t buying has been done by
spectators.
in correction with speculation in
cotton goods, commission merchants
say that small jobbers on the East
S de ha' e been buying up odds and
ends of finished goods during the past
month at a greater rate than usual.
The jobbers are finding it more diff
cult to obtain these goods now than
they did a year ago The commission
houses are checking credits more care
fully and in some cases demanding
cash. which the jobbers are willing to
supply in order to get the goods. How
much grey and finished goods are thus
being held by spectators is impos-
sible to determine but from the large
number Of jobbers who have been
active in the market, some people in
the trade are inclined to believe that
it aggregates considerable amount.

SILKS--Scarcity Of
Silk Goods Exaggerated

Talk and newspaper publicity con-
oerning alleged heavy excess stocks OF
law silk in the local market, whether
founded or unfounded, according to one
of the leading silk goods producers
has been a good thing for the market
as q whole. "Personally," he said
yesterday, from information | have
been able to gather, don't think that
m ore than 10000 bales of raw silk are
he'd in this market but the talk oe
100000 bales, which surely would
break the market, has brought many in
ne silk trade to more sober view
OF the present situation. If it will
only eliminate some Of the wild specu-
alton and check this rising market,
which is rap dly approaching a crisis,
II Will render q service to the trade.
THAT the scarcity of silk goods has
o0en exagg rated is admitted nv many
leaders in the trade. Manufacturers
ere not no ding large stocks, but job
bers are, and garment manufac' urers
n many cases have large supplies on
hand. The accumulation of these
goods, some believe. is sufficient to
break the market if let-up in con-
sune er demand occurs"
Out of ten small jobbers on Fourth
Avenue, eight yesterday admitted that
they we're carrying from so to 100 per
cent more silks than they have for
the past few months.

license. lnasmuch as nearly every
Jeweler gets goods on memorandum
which he sells to others. much uncer-
tainty was caused by the different re-
ports as to what the government con-
sidered "broker" to be. In fact
some dealers. after being visited by the
revenue agents. paid the tax, in the
belief that they were brokers under
the law, although they did not consider
themselves brokers in any sense of the
word
Under the revenue act every person
whose business is "to negotiate pur-
chases or sa'es stock, bonds, ex-
change, bullion, bank notes, securities, "
etc, produce or merchandise for
others, shall be regarded as broker
In their effort to straighten out the
matter, the jewelers. laid the situation
before Zone Chief S'onaker of the I'd
District, who said: eve do not contend
that any man who is in business who
displays goods for sale, 80 per cent or
ore of whose transactions are on
goods that he purchased for his own
account, is broker. or that he should
pay brokers' tax even though he may
obtain gems or jcwclry on memoran-
dun to sell to his customers. but we do
contend that the man who has no reg
ular place of business, WHO carries no
stock, and the bulk Of whose transac-
tions are the sale Of another mans
goods. to which the seller never gets
title, is in fact broker under the law,
is conducting a brokerage business and
should pay the occupational tax"
Mr.. S onaker made it clear that it
was neither his intention nor that of
the government to interfere in any
way with legitimate merchants in the
jewelry trade. In fact, he sa what he
was doing would in the end rid these
merchants of very nasty form of H.
legitimate competition.
