actions should rule, and the rate Of
exchange will have to be given great
consideration.
In Mr.. Pages opinion Germany will
not be in the market for manufactured
articles to any great extent. Until
German industry gets started again,
he believes, there may be a market for
ready-made clothing for men and
women. Mems clothing, he said,
should be of typical English cut. and
women's garments in the prevailing
many German officers buying civilian
clothing, insisting on English cut and
English materials. More business can
be done in piece goods, he thinks, than
in the made-up garments.
The Germans require, according to
Mr.: Page, tea, coffee, washing soap,
toilet soap, eggs in crates, flour,
bacon, rice, all cereals, lard, butter,
condensed milk, dried fruits. choco-
late and cocoa. Sugar will be produced
in three months. and the Germans
also expect to have their own timed
fish supply within that time. Anti
mony and aluminium are needed, but
not copper. Supplies of the latter, Mr.:
the greatest German needs is paint in
unlimited quantities, whitehead, linseed
oil, turpentine and other paint sup
plies.
"The Germans need leather desper-
ately," continued Mr.. Page, "as there
is practically none of any description
in Germany now. Reports of large
supplies being held in Frankfort, dis
covered to be untrue. l visited the
largest tanneries in Ofenbach, the
centre of the German tanning indus
try. and found them devoid Of stocks
of any kind"
Swiss tanners and shoe manufact-
urers are selling great quantities of
their products in Germany, according
to Mr.. Page. More supplies will come
from the United States, he believes.
"Supplies of coal will enable many
German factories to resume operations
in full" he said. "The Adler Car Com
pany, which manufactures typewrit-
ers and bicycles in addition to automo-
biles, have about six thousand people
working. The firm usually employs
fifteen thousand persons, and l was in
formed that this number of workers
could be reemployed if the coal could
be obtained In pre-war days an Adler
chassis cost $500 marks. The present
price is 27,750 marks"

Business Money

Dealers in commercial paper reported
a quiet market and said that the gen.
eral run Of business, such as it was,
went at 51a per cent, with some espe-
cially choice bills being discounted on
a 5A per cent basis. These were the
same rates that prevailed at the close
OF last week.
Larger amounts of grain bills con-
tinued to find their way into the
market, indicating the approaching crop
moving period. Interior banks, which
have been loaning heavily in the New
York call loan money market to take
advantage of the high rates, it was
stated, are likely to begin shortly to
draw down their local balances as the
demand in their home districts expands.
This, it was felt, would tend to stiffen
money at this centre. AS a matter of
fact, all signs point to much frmer
money from now on until we'll nto the
fall months.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-22

While the banks have been improv-
ing their position at the Federal Re-
serve Bank with respect to borrow
ings on United States government
paper arising out of the war, they
have, as an offset, been increasing
their rediscounts of commercial bills.
Last week alone s1O5,OOO,ooO of redis-
counts based on government bonds and
short term notes were cancelled, bring
ing the total borrowings by the banks
at the reserve institution to 1885,
100000. This represented a reduction
of about $2S5, 100000 from the high
mark reached n May. Since that period,
however, the redscounts of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank against commercial
paper have increased in the neighbor-
hood of $260,OOO 900.
The acceptance market continues in
quiescent condition, with rates un-
changed

Belfast Linen Interests
Pleased With British Sale

Reports that the Belfast linen in
terests ever offered the British govern
ment only 3l2 pence a yard for its sur
plus aeroplane cloth are denied by
Sam c. Haughton, administrator Of
the Irish Linen Society The final
offer made by the trade, he states, vwas
l shilling l pence, plus rs per cent
of the profits realized
Mr.. Haughton also declared that the
Belfast linen interests view the re-
cent sale of the surplus stock with a
certain amount of satisfaction.
This stock, 100000 yards, repre-
sents only three months production,
and, according to Mr. Haughton, the
bulk of the goods is too heavy for use
as handkerchiefs, and it is equally too
light for household purposes, such as
pillow linen and sheeting. 1t is not
suitable for bleaching, but only for use
in the brown state, and is not of a
weight suitable for mems clothing,
either in the tropics or anywhere else.

Buyers, Eager for
Fall Merchandise.
Pack Showrooms
Orders for Full Lines of
ClOaks, Suits and Dresses
Being Placed by Out-of-
Town Merchants

Buyers for out-oftown retail stores
arrived here yesterday in increasing
numbers for the purpose of placing
orders for wouen's fall apparel Not
since the present buying season opened
two weeks ago have the showrooms
of the manufacturers and wholesalers
of cloaks, suits and dresses been so
crowded with customers, all seemingly
eager to make their selections of fall
merchandise. Large numbers of buy
ers who were in the market last week
remained over to finish up their pur-
chases.
A large amount of business has been
crowded into the last fortnight, due
so the manufacturers say, to the fact
that the maj ority of buyers have come
into the market early this year, ap-
parently determined to place orders
now for their full fall lines.
Few o. the manufacturers report
that they are selling greater quanti
ties of merchandise to individual Gus
whole, it is said, the smaller retailers
are operating conservatvely and are
buying with greater discrimination
than in past years. Buyers themselves
say that their merchandise managers
have limited their purchasing power
this year to amounts which do not per-
nit of the buying of more merchandise
than last year. The increased appro-
nration for the ready-t to- wear stocks,
made by many retailers, as rule, just
about takes care of the advanced
prices.
Manufacturers who are fortunate to
have large stocks of cloth on hand and
who thus can put out larger produc-
tion than their competitors, have no
difficulty in adding new accounts to
their business. One such manufact-
urer said yesterday that he has in
creased the number of his accounts
almost 100 per cent this year.

Voiles in Demand
At Higher Prices
Surplus Balloon Cloth Nearly All
Sold at so Per Cent
of Cost
Special Correspondence
Business Mems RurenM


NEW BEDFORD, Mass, July 21.-
Within the past few days cotton voiles
have been sought from the local mills
more actively. Manufacturers are ask
ing 80 cents and mere in some cases
for comon hard twist voiles. Fancies
are in such demand that the manufact-
urer can virtually set his own price
on them. Lawns are being sold in small
lots for delivery this year.
A few of the mills in which
balloon cloth was manufactured
for the government during the
war have been disposing of the
stock left on hand. Under the dis
pensation of the government officials
permission was given to sell at the
best. prices obtainable, the difference
between the selling price and the cost
of manufacture being charged up to
the government. Some of the cloth
that cost 80 cents was sold for 40 cents
yard, while 80 cents was real
lied for the cloth which had cost 60
cents. Most of the small lots of this
cloth that remained have been sold.

Leather
Large Stocks Of Skins IL,
Southern Russia May
Be Exported

1t was learned at the Russia Tan
ners' Association yesterday that hide
dealer from the southern part of Rus
sia had arrived in this country recently
to negotiate for the sale of dried and
green sheepskins, goatskins and calf
skins. The part Of Russia from which
this man comes, it is said, is not unde r
Bolsheviki rule.
Details OF exchange. whereby these
hides may be imported into this coun-
try, in exchange for foodstuffs, cloth
ing and machinery, sorely needed in
Russia, are being arranged. 1t is ex-
pected that open bids will be received
within the next week. Asked to give
an estimate Of the amount of hides
available for export, the secretary Of
the Russia Tanners Association said
that no figures were possible, inasmuch
as the greater part of the hides were
hidden by both firms and individuals
who fear their confiscation should a
revolution take place and the Boil
sheviki gain the upper hand How
ever, it is understood, the quantity is
by no means small, since hides have
been accumulating for the last three
years. The tanneries have not been in
operation for some time past, and as a
result Russia is short Of finished
leather, despite the ample supply of
raw hides.
Sheepskins top the list in quantity,
although many hides have rotted dur
ing the last two years because of bad
storage facilities and improper care.
The goatskins are said to be of the
best heavy kid and will command top
prices in the market The calfskins are
also reported of good quality.
Local dealers in sole leather stated
yesterday that both domestic and for
eign demands continue strong, with
prices advancing from day to day. Mid
dleweight and overweight hemlock sole
leather was quoted at 81 and So cents
pound, against last weeks prices of
SIS and So cents.

Soda Ash Higher, With
Better Demand in
Euidence

Dealers announced yesterday that
soda ash had advanced to $40 a hun
dred pounds, an increase Of about 10
cents. This is in sympathy with the
recent sharp advance in the price of
caustic soda. A good inquiry which
developed during the latter part of
last week continued to prevail

Raw Silk BUYERS Cautious

Transactions in raw silk in the local
market yesterday were limited the re-
cent upturn in prices apparently having
caused American manufacturers of the
finished fabrics to adopt a cautious at
titude in their buying operations.
Cables from Yokohama indicated that
prices there had advanced sharply. AS

here at the equivalent Of S9S5 a pound

some dealers anxiety lest there be q
