Manufacturers .SeIect
1acelre Colors for
the Fall

Steps were taken toward the stand
ardlzation of colors in the women's
garment industry by the announcement
yesterday of fall colors chosen by the
United Waist League of America and
the National Association of Sweater
and Knitted Textile Manufacturers
Twelve colors were chosen bv the
color committee of the waist LEAGUE TO
comprise the fashionable fall shades
after conferences with silk and cotton
manufacturers, and cards OIL which
these colors are shown in true shades
wlll be distributed to the trade to-
morrow. The colors chosen are ivory,
flesh, pearl, bisque, Dane blue. true
blue, mahogany, taupe, prune, seal,
navy and black. Of these Dane blue
true blue and mahogany are new
shades.
Fashion does not enter so much in
lhe twenty-five or thirty colors chosen
by the sweater color committee as it
does IN the waist colors The work
OF this committee began during the
war IN an effort to economize bv re-
Strlctlng the number Of colors used
by sweater manufacturers, was more
IN the direction of standardizing the
different shades. In explaining the
ner in which the standard colors are
to be used bulletin issued by the
ASSOCIATION says:
"Fashion and demand call for GER
tam number Of appropriate colors and
the committee devoted itself to the
selection of one representative shade
OF each, which could be used as a stand

Will be understood as referring to the
standard. In this way one manufac-
turer when ordering color from one
dyer will receive the same shade as an
other manufacturer ordering that same
color from another dyer
The dyer, too will benefit from
such standardization, as it will enable
hlm to concentrate upon the standard
colors and do his work more efficiently
and economically.
This is not intended to prevent any
dyer from using special dyes if man
ulacturer finds 1T necessary to do so.
ut is contemplated that under the
supervision of an appropriate commit
tee of the National Association of
sweater and Knitted Textile Manufac-
turers, the colors may be revised and
relssued from time to time as may be
found most convenient"

Furs
More Profit in Double
Skin Scarfs, No,U Much
In Fashion

Increasing popularity of double skin
fur scarfs, which are displacing the
old single skin silk or satin lined gar
ments, gives satisfaction to both retail
furriers and manufacturers. The
double skin scarf takes almost twice
as much fur in the making as single
SKIN garment, with consequent in
creased profit.
Even the popular sable "chokers"
are now being made of double skins,
several new models lined with ermine
having been shown last week. 1t is
predicted that the coming winter fash
ions in furs will favor the double skin
scarf in fox and other large animal
furs.
A fair sized shipment Of furs from
London arrived in New York last Fri
day. 1t included three cases of fox and
mole, one case of mole, seven bales of
opossum skins, eighty-one cases and
bales OF rabbit skins and two bales OF
seal skins.

Jewelry
Mesh Bags for Wedding
and Graduation Gifts
Sell Readily

Unparalleled prosperity in the jew
elry industry is shared by manufac-
turers of mesh bags and chains. Re-
tailers of these lines have just about
finished making purchases for the late
May and June sales, and it is said that
manufacturers are pressed to fill their
requirements. Silver mesh bags are
considered in the light of appropriate
graduation and wedding gifts and, as
result, will be sold in large numbers
during the next two months.
Little change has been made in the
price of these articles during the last
year, and the manufacturers have been
selling their merchandise Just as
quickly as they could produce it. Ma
terials are reported to be plentiful, but
the makers have been handicapped
through the shortage of skilled labor.
But the release Of men from service
is making it possible to hire a larger
number of competent workmen.

Raw Silk Holding Firm
New Japanese Supplies Are
Expected in August

Despite light buying of raw silks for
future delivery the standard Japanese
grades scored an additional advance of
D cents pound. Reports from Yoko-
hama indicated that the market at the
city was higher, although trade had
decreased. Business during last week
was fair, but not so active as it had
been IN the preceding week. 1t was
conceded by importers that the advance
OF about SLIGO a pound since the
middle OF March had made American
manufacturers less keen about nlacinu
orders calling for deliveries beyond
the month of June. Stocks of desir-
able grades, both locally and in Yoko-
hama, have fallen to unusually low
levels, and little expansion is antici-
pated until the new crop of Japanese
reellngs arrives here some time in

Business in colored goods continued
active yesterday with some of the
mills seemingly anxious to advance
prices. Buying of bleached fabrics,
after having receded on Friday, again
expanded Bag manufacturers placed
some orders for four-yard wide un-
bleached coarse sheetings, and the So
called clothing styles, sateens, twills
and plain cloths, were in active de-
mand at higher quotations. 1t was
said that business in dress fabrics,
voiles, lawns and organdies, which are
derived from fine combed yarns that
are mostly turned out by the New
Bedford mills. was abreast of the

ABUNDANT orders, evidence that some
OF the mills had sold their entire out
puts of colored goods for fall delivery
ard increased prices featured the mar
lset for finished cotton fabrics last
week. Orders came from all sections
of the country, and especial stress
was laid upon the energetic buying of
Southern jobbers. 1t was suggested
that the purchases of these merchants
were actuated by their belief in high
quotations for raw cotton as the re-
suit of the supposed reduction in the
area sown to cotton. Ginghams,
blankets and colored shirtings, the
latter for use in the spring of 1920,
were bought literally. 1t was report
ed that bleached goods were taken on
large scale at advanced prices, and
some of the mills seemed loath to
book orders for delivery beyond Sep
tember, the impression being that
prices the coming autumn will be
higher than those now prevailing.
Most of the unbleached fabrics were
purchased in a large way, demand for
clothing Innings having been conspic-
uous, but later on the sales of print
cloths decreased.

Sale of Sugar Machinery in
British West Indies Trcrea,

American machinery for the manu-
tacture of sugar is finding a ready sale
in the British West Indies, where the
industry is reviving. The manufactures
of rum is also increasing and equip
ment made in the United States Is
largely used in its production. The
manufacturers in this British posses
SION nave turned to the American mar
ket for their machinery because of +ho
dislocation of shipping from Jamaica
to European and especially British
ports. Orders for machinery which
were first placed in small quantity with
American makers are now being gjven
by sugar manufacturers in the British

Silks
High Watcr Mark Reached
in Silk Goods Trade
Last Week

American silk manufacturers hooked
more business last week than ever be-
fore in similar period, according to
local selling agents for leading con-
Germs. Silk goods of all kinds were
bought in unprecedented volume.
mainly for future delivery. Hence
forth the chief problem will be to
fill orders now on the books of the
leading selling agencies, rather than
10 get additional ones. Dress goods,
goods and slllrtings were purchased on
an extensive scale. and increased
prices, particularly for dress fabrics
and shirtings, instead of serving to
reduce orders, seemed to have made
buyers more anxious to get goods.
All sections of the country figured
IN the buying movement, and travel
ing statesmen apparently found little
dlfflculty IN getting orders, especially
from merchants located in the smaller
cities of the United States. The
"craze" for silks has developed the
most cheerful prospects the trade has
ever had to look forward to at this
season.
Even yesterday, short business day.
selling agents for the leading silk
mlllS booked large volume of or
ders, Western buyers being present
IN the market in large numbers. Many
local dress and waist manufacturers
were also buying. While most of the
orders called for fall weaves, the city
costumers bought summer fabrics in
liberal volume. Stocks of the light-
weight goods have been greatly di
minished The sales agents asserted
that business would have been much
larger were it not that previous heavy
buying had cut existing supplies to
levels that rendered it imprudent for
them to accept further large orders.

British Ironmasfers Advance
Prices on Open Order,

American exporters of iron products
consider their position improved fol-
lowing the action of the Staffordshire
lronmasters, who, according to cable
advlces from England, at meeting in
hlrmlngham yesterday, directed an ad-
tor bar iron and strips made on q fuc-
tuatlng basis. The new price goes
into effect as of May 1.
The advance in price of the British
product, it was declared, will go far
toward offsetting the handicap of high
freight rates to European markets un-
der which American manufacturers
have been laboring.
Marked bars are now quoted in Eng
land at f23 net per ton at makers
works. The manufacturers of steel
hoops also advanced their price s2 los
per ton on undelivered balances of or
ders already placed, as we'll as on fu-
ture business.

Silverware Men Want
Stamping Law CHANGED

Members Of the Sterling Silverwnre
Manufacturers at the recent quarterly
meeting of their organization recon-
mended that the present national
stamping law be amended so that it
will also provide for the stamping Of
silverware with the word Silver" The
law now requires that silverware Of
certain standard be stamped STERLING"
or "coin," and as result it is permis-
sible for manufacturers of plated ware
to mark their product "silver." This
practice is said to have been abused
and to have caused confusion in the
minds Of purchasers, who believed that
because articles were stamped Silver"
they were made ,of that metal. Other
or1ganizations o1sa aza .a in the jewelry industry
and are planning campaign to havc
the law amended at tho next session
Of Congress.

AMERICANS NEAR DEATH
AT HANDS OF YAQUISI

officer, which looted the Buena
VistA mine in Sonora, 160 miles
south sof here, James Lord, master
mechanic of the property, his
daughter, and Is of the Mexican
miners would have been killed they
said, but for the Intervention of
two of the Yaquis who formerly had
been employed at the mine.
The prisoners were treated kindly
until the inhabitants of nearby min
ing camps appeared IN the road
above the camp and began shooting
at the Yequis. The Indians returned
the fire and drove off their assail-
ants, but in revenge proposed to
kill Lord, his daughter and the
Mexican miners. Their pleas,
coupled with those of the two In.
dians who had worked at the camp
and been we'll treated, finally pre-
vailed. The band rode away with
out injuring anyone, but carrying
all available loot they could collect.

TENNESSEE

MEMPHIS, Tenn, Aug. 10
Plenty Of farm and mill work, bet
ter wages than ever before paid and
improved living conditions await
southern negroes who have gone to
the north and who are said to be
clamoring to return to the south, ac-
ccrding to employers here.
Southern farmers and plantation
owners want the southern negroes
back. If there We're some method
of getting in touch with them it is
declared that expense of their re-
turn to Dixie would be willingly
borne. This will hold especially true
for the next few weeks, because
there is need of negroes who know
how to take care of the cotton
crops.
But these employers say they do
not want n~orthern-born and reared
negroes. They would prefer TO
bring in foreign labor, they assert.
We would not hesitate to pay
the expenses OF a hundred 0r mora
negroes from Chicago CIR other
northern cities to our place IL We
can get southern negroes. particu-
larly negroes who have gone from

see," said A. c. Lange, vicas presi-

safe to say that every southern ne
