Lo1cer Price of Citric Acid

Glacial acetic acid has advanced /
cent pound to 12la cents under ac-
tive buying from manufacturers of
glassware, rubber goods and cork. Only
limited quantities are obtainable on
the spot market.
Large purchases Of yellow prussiate
of soda by dyestufs manufacturers
and tanners have depleted the quantity
Of goods on hand. Prices have ad-
vanced to 10 and 20 cents pound.
The continued scarcity of yellow
prussate Of potash has been partly
responsible for the activity in prus-
State of soda since many consumers
are utilizing this product as substi-
tute.
Limited orders for bichromate Of
soda have caused dealers to lower
prices to 1884 cents pound in the
hope of stimulating new business. This
figure, it was stated, is close to the
cost of production.
Recent large shipments Of citric
acid from Italy have forced the price
down to 81 a pound from a quotation
of Sl.l6 pound two weeks ago. Dur
ing the past few days there has been
notable drop in the demand from the
consuming trades

Retail Selling School
To Open Tomorrow

The training school for teachers Of
retail selling will be opened formally
at New York University tomorrow
with about twenty students IN attend
ance, many Of them college graduates.
The course is being given under the
auspices OF the university in combina-
tion with the Board of Education and
prominent retailers in this city and
vicinity. DR.. Lee Galloway is the di-
rector Of the school.
The students will be assigned 20
certain retail establishments in the
city for practical experience and will
be enrolled as employees. This work will
be supplemented with lectures and
classes at the university. Many Of the
students will teach in the training
classes in the stores in the evenings.
The students yesterday were taken
on tour through the stores Of r. II.
Macy & Co., Lord E. Taylor. in Man
haitian, and Abraham G. Straus, in
Brooklyn. Other New York as we'll
as Brooklyn and Newark, n. j., stores
are interested in the project, which, it
is expected, will add TO the number
and efficiency Of teachers Of retail SELL

SlLkS-Loonls Made Idle
DN Strike in Thro,cing Plants

Predictions that mill production
would be affected seriously by the
strike in the throwing plants of the
Pennsylvania district were borne out
yesterday when reports were received
that many looms are now idle. Some
manufacturers announced that unless
a settlement is quickly reached they
VIII have to drop weavers temporarily
from their payrolls. Officials of one
large manufacturing firm operating its
own throwing department stated that
many inquiries were being received
from other mills anent the possibility
Of producing limited amounts Of
thrown silk for them. In q number
Of cases the requests were complied
with in a small way.
Visible stocks OF thrown silk have
been materially depleted by the recent
purchases of knitted underwear and
ests. especially the latter, have ac-
quired considerable quantities and the
production of crepes and georgette.

Will be reduced to decidedly low
margin unless the strikers soon re-
turn to their work.
number Of out-oftown jobbers
placed large orders for charmeuse,
and, when able to obtain them, fab
rics for making shirts. The supply
Of the latter material is extremely
scarce and sales accordingly were held
TO low level. Charmeuse selling for
$l.95 yard was especially favored by
the buyers and one wholesale firm
having a limited stock Of shrtings OBJ
tanned S2.20 q yard for them. In sew
eral Instances delivery of merchandise
by express was requested.
The representative of one of the
largest Chicago jobbcrs, who was in
the market seeking a general line of
broad silks, reported that Western
silks on hand than local firms. This
was, he said, due to the fact that the
Western houses anticipated the un-
usual demand for merchandise and ac-
quired large holdings early in the
season.
While sales in the local raw silk
market continued to be comparatively
restricted yesterday, there was fresh
evidence that dealers are looking to a
large volume of buying in the near
future. Large orders were placed in
the Yokohama market in anticipation,
il was said of a resumption of active
buying by manufacturers when strikes
in the dyeing and throwing industry
are settled.
Cables from Japan reported that
the demand from American sources
was especially heavy, Mondays trans
actions totalling 800 bales. Prices as
q result were adanced. Shinshiu No.
| was quoted at $9.67ls and Kansai
double extra at $l0.62la a pound, an
advance of 10 cents over prices of the
preceding day.

fURS--Reordering by
Retailers Uearier Than Usual

No abatement has taken place in the
craze for furs, judging by the number
and size Of the recorders from re-
tallers being received by manufact-
Vrers. One of the largest manufact-
urers of medium priced neck kpicccs
said yesterday that his recorders are
FULLY ten times larger this season than
they were year ago. In addition
to this the recorders are coming in now
instead of in November and December,
as in former years
Fur wholesalers attribute this condi
ton to the spreading custom of hold
ing midsummer fur sales This wear
retailers even in the smaller communi-
ties held August sales with successful
results. The confidence instlled by the
success Of these sales has led them to
send IN generous recorders. Retailers
the country over are said to be carry
ing heavier stocks of furs than ever
before, despite high prices.
Dyed fox scarves continue to lead
the market, according to many manu-
facturers, with lynx q close second.

Germans Get Mahogany
Concession in Mexico
Grants Include Those Forfeited
by British and Amcri-

Special Corr,spon1enc


MONTEREY, Mexico, Sept. 23.-Ac-
cording to advices received here from
the City of Mexico, the government has
granted highly favorable concession
to syndicate of Germans for the cx-
ploitation Of the mahogany timber of
the states Of Gampeche and Tabasco
and the Territory Of Quintana Roo. In
some instances concessions that were
held by American and British inter-
ests and were forfeited have been
taken over by the Germans.
1t is planned by the concessionaires
to do an extensive logging business. In
connection with the cutting and ex-
porting of mahogany timber the Ger
man interests plan to engage cxtcn-
sively in the chiclc industry. The
zapote trees, from which the chicle
gum is obtained, are scattered all
through the timber holdings where the
mahogany trees are found The ma
hogany and the zapote trees do not
grow close together in forest fashion,
but are scattered through the dense
growth of other kinds Of tropical tim

TEXTILES-Price Of Coarse
GRAY Cotton Goods Advances

Another sharp advance in the price
Of coarse gray fabrics was the out
standing development yesterday in the
cotton goods market. Converters have
bought heavily Of this class of goods
during the last week and so steady
has been the demand that stocks avail
able for shipment this year have be-
come very scarce. This continued pur-
chasing, coupled with the rise in raw
cotton quotations, caused all owners
OF gray goods to boost the price of Ga
COS, the standard cloth, from 1914
10 Is cents. Even that latter figure
was insufficient TO secure delivery be-
fore January ! and predictions We're
freely made that before the end Of the

marked decrease in the stocks of
bleached print cloths owned by specu-
lators was apparent and the volume of
inquiries received by mill agents for
such goods increased accordingly. AS
yet the spectators are the only opera

acter.

been besieged with orders, both do
mestic and export, for the past few
months. Inquiries have been received
from many of the European countries.
English concerns especially are re-
ported to be placing large orders for
American clocks, one manufacturer re-
cclVing an order last week for q large
number Of alarm clocks to be shipped
abroad IN certain amounts weekly An
other large company here has been re-
ceiving weekly orders from Swiss con-
Germs. South American business, which
was formerly handled by German con-
Germs, is now finding its way onto the
books of American concerns.
Some manufacturers are doubtful of
their ability TO hold all the export
business now coming their way, be-
cause the shortage Of skilled labor is
delaying deliveries. One manufact-
urer declared yesterday that the work
men IN his shop. although given shorter
hours and larger wages, have become
indifferent and almost unmanageable.
ihe placing Of his factory on a shorter
day basis, he explained, naturally low
cred production and necessitated the
cancclllng of many orders The work
men, this manufacturer said. do not
seem to realize that if they FASTENED
production it would put the American
clock factories in a position to accept
all the export business that is now
coming into this country and assure the
future OF the industry when the do
mcstic demand shows signs Of abatinp.
Export trade at this time is coming
without manufacturers seeking it, but
# American companies do not succeed
IN illling orders more promptly it is
feared foreign buyers will turn back to
their former sources of supply.
Although the clock making industry
is part Of the icwelry trade, the calling
out OF Workmen of manufacturing jew
Union will not affect the clock fac
tories. The greater part of these plants
are located outside of New York.

hold the upper hand.
