Leather
Government to auction
of Surplus Holdings
of Leather

What is believed will be the first
leather auction in the United States
will be held when the government dis
poses of it's stock of russet strap and
harness leather now in the Philadel-
phia warehouses of the Quartermas-
ter's Department. Auction is the
method Of disposition chosen by the
government as best because of the
fact that great publicity is attached,
and every person interested has an
equal chance to buy the leather Of
fered. Tanners consider that they will
be benefited by the government sell
ing this leather in that it will not be
held as q menace over the market.
The auction will be widely advertised
in foreign countries as well as here
and the terms of the sale will be an
nounced when the publicity campaign
is completed.
Bids will be opened tomorrow at
Washington by Captain George c.
Bosson, jr., for 250,O00 pairs of russet
shoes for army service. Early deliv-
cry is essential and rate of delivery
will be considered in making awards.
The government has requested that
proposed deliveries be detailed by
weeks in bids. A contract for $4,000
pairs of these shoes was recently made
at $4.991a. The harness war service
committee will meet with Major Byron
and others in Washington tomorrow
to discuss methods to be adopted for
the disposal of surplus harness stocks
of the War Department.

Rubber
Replacement Orders Are
Keeping Factories
Busy

Replacement orders from dealers
and jobbers throughout the country
are keeping the tire factories busy.
Stocks that have been accumulated by
the manufacturers in anticipation of
an early demand are now moving
freely. 1t is said that sales have been
exceptionally heavy in the West, one
manufacturing company reporting that
1T could have disposed Of the entire
stock OF one brand in that territory.
California, with it's vast number Of
cars that saw service during the en-
tire winter, is said to be a rich field
now for the tire dealers.
Tire makers expect to do a record
business this year. While they have
been only passively interested In tho
local crude rubber market, recently
rubber dealers anticipate their becom-
ing more active buyers as the autom o.
bile touring season advances, and when
motor vehicle manufacturers announce
next years probable production. Dur
ing the last week prices Of plantation
rubber developed stronger tone in
the Far East and in the New York
market, though buying continued to be
comparatively light. Arrivals here re-
Gently are said TO be slightly under
those Of April.

English Shoemakers
After Export Business
Syndicate TO Handle Product of
Various Factories Is
Planned

Shoe manufacturers in England are
perfecting plans for a big drive for
foreign business. They are making ef
forts, it is said, to establish syndicates
to work collectively in developing ex-
port trade, and manufacturers are
making preparations to fit themselves
for this business by increasing the
production at their factories to a scale
greatly exceeding that existing before
the war.
At present the English manufacturers
are finding it difficult to secure ma
terial for fine grade footwear, particu-
larly upper feathers, though it is
known in the trade here that British
interests have immense quantities of
better grade leather, hides and skins
in warehouses in New York and else
where ready for shipment abroad just
as soon as Great Britain removes its
embargo on the importation of high
grade leather next July. Meantime
the chrome leather producers in Great
Britain are doing their best to increase
their outputs.
Standard shoes will replace wartime
boots in England when government
controlled production of shoes ceases
at the end of June, according to re-
ports reaching this country. Boots will
then be made to definite specifications
it is said, and the shoddy stuff retailed
before the war will be eliminated per-
manently. 1t is not believed that this
will affect manufacturers Of high grade
footwear.

Clock Manufacturers Are
S,vamped With Orders;
Exports Large

Heavy orders from foreign coun-
tries, combined with an unusually
large domestic demand, have swamped
many of the clock manufacturers with
business, and caused them to advance
prices. One large concern last week
raised prices on all its models per
cent, while another manufacturer added
5 per cent to the selling price Of one
important make of clock.
The makers of alarm clocks have
been besieged with orders, both do
mestic and foreign, for the past few
months. Inquiries have been received
from many European countries. Eng
lish concerns are reported to be plac-
ing big orders for American clocks,
one manufacturer last week closing an
order with a company in England for a
large number Of alarm clocks to be
shipped abroad at the rate of 5000 a
week. Another large company here
has been receiving weekly orders from
its English agent. South American
business which formerly went mostly
to German firms is now finding it's way
onto the books Of American concerns.
Clock manufacturers have been han
dicapped in keeping up with orders

Women's Wear Trade Grows
Many New Firms Enter Business
Owing to Larger Demand

At least hundred, and possibly
more, new firms have entered the
women's apparel-manufacturin indus
try within the last six months in this
market and reports from other cities
indicate the same condition in other
apparel-manufacturing centres. The
entire trade is experiencing period
of expansion, owing to the unprece-
dented demand for all kinds of wom-
ems apparel.
I'VE are in the midst of a most
prosperous season." said David Moses

yesterday, "and still great business

for many years past"
The growth of the industry, accord.

Jobbers Distribute
Woollens Piecemeal
Scarcity of Fabrics Curtails
Clothing Manufacturers
Business

Jobbers of woollen goods have been
almost cleaned out of spring materials
and even the slight current demand
exceeds the supply. Custom tailors,
ladies' tailcrs and small manufacture
ers of apparel, who buy from the job
bers, are finding it difficult to obtain
goods for their immediate needs. Some
OF the jobbers, who are receiving ship
ments of fall goods from the mills, are
turning these over to the customers
Tor Immediate use. Several tailors
are reported to have taken over pieces
OF thirteen-ounce worsted cloth, which
they will make up into skeleton lined
summer suits.
Few samples Of fall woollen goods
have been received from the mills and
lobbers are showing fewer lines than
usual at this time Of the year. They
have followed the lead of the mills and
are allotting goods, instead of accepting
orders for all their customers wish to
purchase. In many cases the jobbers
are giving customers only half instead
OF full pieces Of goods, which run
from fifty to eighty yards to the piece
cutting the pieces entails extra ex-
pense, but the jobbers say they are
forced to do it in order to spread their
short stocks over as wide clientele as
possible.
Jobbers report that they have received
many inquiries for goods from export
concerns, but are unable to accept or
ders because of the scarcity of fabrics.

Comparatively few buyers were in

throughout the week The goods were
bought to cover actual needs, and the
leading mill agents reported that the
hlgher prices demanded for many lines
served to stimulate business. In the
unbleached goods division of the mar
kec clothing lines were bought in vol
ume, and manufacturers of bags. as
we'll as of automobile fabrics. placed
large orders for sheetings. Consider
able talk also was heard about LARGE
deals being under way for the sale Of
sheetlngs in China. Orders for colored
goods were of liberal volume, and some
OF the leading mills temporarily ceased
MAKING sales OF ginghams and fannels.
II was lntfmated that colored fabrics
VIII not be in abundant supply during
the remaining part of this year, princi-
pally because shorter working hours
nave cut down production. All kinds of
Dleached fabrics were sold in large
quantities during the week, and num-
Der OF the mills, expecting higher
prices, refused to book orders cailing
Tor deliveries beyond August 1.
New-York tribune., 1919-05-11
Price of Corsets
Expected to Rise
But Manufacturers Believe M
Let-Up in Demand Will
Follow

Corsets probably will be advanced in
price IN the near future because Of in
ccreaslng costs of material and labor.
but manufacturers anticipate no
siackenlng in the brisk demand. Be-
cause OF government restrictions dur
ing the war it was impossible for the
corset manufacturers to produce cheap
corsets, and the women of the country,
forced by necessity to purchase corsets
of higher price and better quality. have
learned the economy of these and have
peen. educated to wearing the more cx-
pensive article. The day Of tie corset
that retaiied at less than s1.5O is
past, 1t is said. Following the sign
ing of the armistice some Of the manu-
facturers brought out the old cheap
lines. again, only to find that the de-
mand for them had ceased to exist.
1t is said that the average retail price
of corsets before the war ranged from
81 to $3.50 and that now it ranges
from $3.50 to SIS.
After the slight drop in the cost of
raw materials following the armistice.
few manufacturers reduced their
wholesale prices about 50 dozen,
while most Of the leading manufact-
urers, especially those making adver-
tised brands, held their prices firm but
improved the quality of their output.
Most of the retail merchants have
abandoned the hand to-mouth method
Of buying, 80 far as corsets are CON
cerned, it is said. The chief difficulty
in the path of the manufacturers at
present is that of obtaining sufficient
help to turn out the merchandise for
which they have orders. Several Of the
larger manufacturers have opened
auxiliary plants for the making of
corset accessories, such as brassieres
and bandeaus, in order to leave their
larger plants free to concentrate on
the production Of corsets alone.

Apparel by Parcel Post
Express Strike Diverts Manv
Shipments tn Mails

Parcel post is being resorted to bv
local manufacturers of wearing an
parel to ship out merchandise, because
or the express strike and the embargo
which the American Railways Express
Company has placed upon the receipt
OF packages at terminals here and in
neighboring towns.
When the drivers first struck manv
OF the manufacturers hired trucks to
deliver their merchandise to the ter
mlnals in this city and in New Jersey.
The embargo has killed this plan and
the shippers are forced to use parcel
post.
In some cases shipments to points
as far awaJ as Boston, PHILADELPHIA
and Baltimore are being made by motor
express, but this affords no relief to
retailers who are not directly on a
line of an established motor trucking
concern.
The parcel post system is being
overcrowded by this influx of merchan-
disc, and shipments are delayed Local
manufacturers have received MANY in
qulries from their customers com
planning of delayed shipments.
1t is expected that if the strike con-
tinues and shipments are further de-
layed the retailers will come to the
market earlier than usual to order
their fall merchandise, so that thew
may be sure OF receiving the goods in
time

Untitled Tonnage on U. S.
Steel Corporation Books
ShOaCs Shrinkage

Untitled orders on the books of the
United States Steel Corporation at the
end of April amounted to only 4,SOO,6so
tons, the smallest total since June,
1915, and shrinkage Of 629,ss7 tons
compared with March 81. The record
untitled tonnage statement of the COM
pany was made on April 80, 1917, when
l2,183,083 tons were reported.
In December, last year, the month
after the signing of the armistice. un-
titled orders totalled 7,379,152 tons.
The downward tendency since that time
has been accelerated by the price con-
troversy between the industrial board
OF the Department of Commerce and
the railroad administration.
1t was reported in the steel trade
yesterday that the manufacturers arc
making some concessions in prices to
attract export orders. In addition to
rails and railroad material sold for
export, sales of wire rods and bars
are being made in lots ranging from
few hundred to several thousand tons
each to European countries as well as
the Far East
One lot of $4,000 tons of sheet bars
IS under negotiation for export to
Great Britain, and this contract is ex-
pected to be closed shortly. Improve
ment In the ocean freight rate situa-
ton has been recently noted and more
ocean freight space is now available
to carry steel products to Europe.
