SILKS-Firmness of Prices
Causes Greater 4ctirify

The maintenance of record high
prices for raw silks since last Tues
day is giving the mills greater conf
dence in purchasing on the present
market. Buying of raw silks has in
creased slightly in the local market
and prices are tirmer than ever. This
is encouraged by late reports from
Yokohama indicating extreme activity
there, with sales running as high as
1000 bales day. and the silk prices
on the Bourse in advance Of actual
commercial prices. Sinshiu No. l has
maintained its price of s12.40 a pound,
and Kansai double extra of S13.15.
Retailers and manufacturers of gar
ments are doing but little buying of
silk goods now and are not expected
to be active in the market until after
the first of the year. Some apparel
manufacturers are being pressed for
money now and are selling silk goods
to jobbers. They expect to purchase
these back at advanced prices in two
or three months.

JEW EAK A-Shortage
OF Silrer1rnre Threatened

Silversmiths are confronted with the
possibility of marked shortage Of
merchandise in 1920 because of the un-
usual demand for silverware and the
scarcity of the metal. While prices
are much higher than they have been
in many years, sales continue in large
volume.
A representative of a prominent con-
Germ stated esterday that the buyer
ior large Southern company. who
several months ago had placed an order
for what he thought would be his full
requirements for the winter season.
has come back to buy additional stocks.
This action was precipitated, he said,
by the heavy call that is now being
received for all classes of silverware.
Although many workers have been
mustered out of the government service
and returned to the silverware fac
tories, the silversmiths declare their
plants are still undermanned com
pany which normally requires the ser
vices of about 5000 workmen now has
force Of only about 1000. Because
of this shortage manufacturers are far
behind on deliveries.

Where the Money Went
The story of the confession received
by Mr.. MacRurney was to the effect
that Moyer had said that the pecula-
tions began two years ago. The com
missioner said that the chief task now
confronting the Banking Department
was the location of the genuine and
official records. to ascertain how and
where the money went. The commits
roner expressed the opinion that the
bank had "OvercXtcndcd ITSELF and had
made unwise loans. He was positive
in announcing that persons who received
money illegally would have to make
restitution.
It is not believed that the confession
of NIoycr will interfere with the plans
of the State Insurance Department to
nav the people in the Pittsburgh Life
and Trust Company. The S221 900 in
the bank is believed to be protected. 1t
was announced IN Harrisburg that In

is feared, with its disclosure of the
enormous shortage, will interfere with
the carrying out Of any of the several
propositions. Mr.. MacBurney said last
night that he had not been informed Of
the proposals made by the banks, but
that this phase of the matter had been
placed in the hands of the Governor
