Sweater Makers Expect
No Further Price Cuts
Reductions of About 25 Per
Cent Have Occurred in
WOOIlen Articles

Manufacturers of woollen sweaters
believe there will be no further price
reductions in their product for several
months to come. Prices have been re-
duced about 25 per cent since early
IN November, it is said, but it is be-
Heved the bottom has been reached for
time at least
Tne greatest demand on the part of
the retailers, who are buying only for
their immediate needs, is for the slip
over model in Shetland wool. The
Shetland or zephyr yarns, from which
thcse sweaters are made, is said to be
particularly, hard to get at present,
owing to labor difficulties at the yayn
mills.
There is some activity in fibre silk
sweaters. but here again the manu-
1acturer is confronted with shortage
OF raw material. The one company
which is said to control the manu-
facture Of fibre silk through a secret
process has closed its mills Prices
nave not advanced yet, but may if nom
production of the yarn continues.
Sweaters of pure silk are said to be
IN small demand now. The demand
or the consumer For these does not
occur until midsummer, and since the
retailers are not anticipating their
1uture needs to any great extent there
is said to be slight demand for pure
SILK goods now. They are expected to
snow greater activity in June and
July.
A strike among the knitters of silk
sweaters is impeding production of
these.

Metals
Lead Advanced in Price.
but Other Metals Are
Not IN Demand

The feature of yesterdays metal
market was the advance in the price Of
lead, which was raised by the American
Smelling and Refining Company to 5A
cents, an increase of one-quarter of a
cent. Independent dealers are quot
ing the metal at fraction above this
price.
The advance is accepted as proof Of
the healthy condition Of the lead mar
ket. The demand for the metal has
been increasing steadily for some time.
1t is predicted that the metal will ad
vance to 5h cents within few days
This price is considered by many to
be the correct level.

Business Money

The 5 per cent rate for commercial
paper can no longer be said to exist.
The amount sold to out-of- town banks
at that figure is too insignificant to
matter. The range is now quoted at
5A to 51a, with various estimates as
to the relative amounts being sold at
these two figures. Some New York
banks yesterday refused to buy any
paper at less than 51a per cent. One
bank asserts that on Monday most of
the paper it took was at 51a per cent,
and that yesterday all of it was. Paper
which brokers offered Monday at 5 to
5A per cent was offered yesterday at
5A and 5h. A few brokers yesterday,
however, sold more paper at 81 than
at u per cent.
The volume remains unchanged.
Very little paper is being offered.
Some brokers believe that the higher
rate will increase the demand from the
buyers. That has been their usual
experience. But whether that will
happen now is doubtful. The rate
for commercial paper has not advanced
correspondingly more than other rates.
Call money on the Stock Exchange
has advanced more; money for sixty
to ninety days to Stock Exchange
brokers is now 54 per cent, and the

any to appear was a surprise and

Retailers Eagerly Buying
Furs for Spring and
Summer Wear

Spring and summer furs now are
holding the almost exclusive attention
of the fur manufacturers, wholesalers
and dealers. This is the result of the
unusually early and heavy demand for
this line of goods, fur buyers being in
the market yesterday for large retail
establishments throughout the country.
Among the arrivals in the market were
buyers from San Francisco and Seattle,
who reported that the fur trade on the
Pacific Coast, in sections where eli
matte conditions would not be CON
sidered advantageous to the sale Of
these garments, was in better shape
than ever before, with the demand
running for all varieties of furs.
Among the manufacturers there is
evidenced spirit OF optimism that is
general. They report that the call for
merchandise continues to include
"everything." One big manufacturer
said that the furs that were exception
ally good for spring and summer wear
are Hudson Bay sable, stone and baum
marten, mink, and mole, with silver
fox and cross fox in fair demand.

Tor paper, but was necessary to keep
that demand from falling. Most of
the buying continues to come from
out-of-t town banks. Very little comes
from New York, and bankers in this
city say they find good demand for
loans from their own customers.
Rates for acceptances remain un-
changed Curiously enough, though
dealers have been complaining Of the
high call rate, and though that call
rate went Monday to the highest fig
ure IN two years, and renewed yester-
day at = per cent, acceptance dealers
reported a fair demand, better than
that OF Monday 1t is hard to exr31ain
this, but one proffered explanation
was that the banks regularly put aside
certain amount every day for invest
ment IN bank acceptances. because their
own acceptances are outstanding and
they have a special interest in protect
ing the market. Only a few trade ac-
ceptances are coming in.

six months paper follow:

Silks
Expect to Sho,v
N0Uelty French Silks
by ApriL I

Beslness IN fancy silks was of salts
factory proportions yesterday, and even
the plain fabrics received the atten-
t1on of some buyers. Southwestern
merchants appeared in relatively large
numbers, particularly those doing busi-
ness in the oil producing regions, and
there was goodly attendance of re-
tail dealers in general. Most of them
reported having done an exceptionally
good volume Of business in February
and for that reason found it necessary
to replenish their stocks Because Of
the retailers plan of buying often and
IN keeping with readily measured re-
quirements, manufacturers expect
March to provide as much business as
they have done this month. Some man
ufacturers report that SO far this
month their sales have increased about
40 per cent over year ago.
Importers of French silks declare
that by April l they will have nov

played will not be extensive, but it is
expected that within a years time
French goods they believe will be
back IN the American market on a
pre-war basis. The lack of shippinp
facilities between France and japan. as
we'll as the absence of Italian raw silk.
deters the French weavers from speed
ing up production.
Retail department stores bought
liberal quantities of high lustre rib
bons yesterday, ribbons suitable for
evening dresses being wanted
particularly.
There was littlc demand for raw
silk. Prices worked off about 10 cents
a pound on the standard grade of Jap
anese production. Importers expect
the recessions of the past several days
Will attract some business. Dealers in
raw silk seemed more amused than i'm
pressed with the statements that Texas
may possibly loom up as producer
of raw silk. 1t was conceded that
Texas can provide the mulberry leaves
that are SO essential to the life of the
silk worm, but it was contended that
Texas would be unable to reel the
silk at cost that would enable the
growers to compete with Japan and
other countries where low priced labor
is abundant.

JeweIry
in Cheap Je,celr,
OF Record Proportions
Is Reported

The demand for artificial gems as
well as all grades of imitation jewelrv
is keeping pace with the demand for
the genuine goods. Stocks of retail
dealers and jobbers is at low ebb, and
from all parts of the country orders
are coming into the New York Offices
of manufacturers The bulk of imita.
ton gems and jewelry is produced in
Providence, r. ].
Women are discarding the plain at
tire of war times and are substituting
more ornate fashions. Imitation
stones are being used to an increasing
extent in hair ornaments and shoe
buckles. The same is true of hat nins
and the various other pins favored by
women.
: Manufacturers of this class of goods
generally are agreed that their busi-
ness has never been as good as at
present and they do not expect any
diminishing in the demands for their
products for some time to come.

Small Lot Buying
In Cotton Goods
Mill. Interests Opposed to Gov
ernment Interfering With
pricas

Demand for cotton goods, finished
and unfinished, did not show much life
yesterday. Orders were Of the small
lot type, chiefly to fill immediate re-
9uiremcnts. Jobbcrs' stocks of finished
fabrics are said to be moving out to
retail dealers in fair volume, but in
many instances profits have to be sac
rificed to induce business, and it is
estimated that jobbers are carrying
goods in such quantities as to preclude
much new buying from the mills. Re-
tail dealers seem to be skeptical about
the permancncy of present prices, but
mill agents assert that with the en-
forced curtailment .of outputs buyers
cannot expect the market to continue
in their favor.
The proposed action by the govern
ment with regard to prices is not rel
ished by mill interests. They prefer
to adhere to the principle Of supply
and demand rather than deal with cx-
periments now that the war has ceased.
In other words, it is felt that readjust-
lines. '''AAAA'
