Scramble to Buy
Women's Apparel
For Fall Subsidies
Agitation to Investigate
Prices Causes Some Re-
tailers to Hesitate; Stocks
of Goods Show Increase

Retailers were buying women's fall
apparel less actively yesterday than
for several weeks past. Various ex-
plan9tions were offered for the falling
OFT In business now apparent. Large
lobbers expressed the belief that dur
ing the scramble to buy, which has
enllvened the market in the last month
or so, merchants throughout the coun-
try placed orders sufficient to cover
their initial fall needs and will defer
further purchases until they have an
opportunity to see what effect the ag-
tatlon to inve estlgate prices Will have
on the public's buying mood More
talk was heard of possible break in
the wholesale market, but this, manu-
facturers said, usually originated with
merchants who are still in tho market
hold orders in the hope of being able
to buy to better advantage later on.
Some of the manufacturers reported
that buyers had visited their show
rooms ana told them that competitors
were selling garments at lower prices.
Stocks Are Increasing
One development in favor of BUYERS
is the fact that stocks in the hands Of
manufacturers and jobbers, especially
OF dresses, are now increasing Nearly
every manufacturer in the trade. it is
said, IS making up stock now in ad-
vance of actual orders to keep his or
ganlzation together Some of them
admit that by so doing they rdn the
FISK OF accumulating surplus stocks
which may break the market later on
put they argue that such course must
be followed, if working forces are to
be kept intact
The possibility of a break in the
market as the result of the situation
which has developed in the trade in
the last few days is discussed openly
IN the trade, opposing views being
taken by some of the leaders. One
official of the Cloak, Suit and Skirt /.
Protective Association
looks for a slump to materialize soon
1T being his belief that the high prices
retailers will be forced to ask for WON

customers to rebel.
Another View
Another manufacturer, who also is
an Official of the association. adheres
TO the belief that the retailers will he

on He is firm in the conviction that
the retail merchant will have no diff
ncuity IN dlsposlng of his initial fall

Predicts Record Business
In Spring Silk Goods
High Prices and Prosperity i'm the Industry, Manu-.
facturer Declares, Are Based Legitimate
Demands; No Reserve Stocks to Fall Back On

and now they are in New York look
ing for goods with which to replenish
their summer stocks. At the same
time they are buying fall lines, asking
that deliveries be made at once, and
also making their selections for spring
goods. That is a condition that has
never before existed in the silk market
CAS- | see it, there are no indica-
tions pointing to reduction of prices.
The demand is much greater than the
supply. There are no reserve stocks
to throw into the gap, consequently
prices will be sustained through the
natural operation of supply and de-
mand.
Merchants throughout the country
report a demand that points a huge
business for spring and the o<nviction
that this will materialize is aug
mented by the efforts they are making
to buy goods"

FURS-HulsOn Seal
Shortage Becomes a Problem,

The great shortage of Hudson seal
and its many limitations IN the fur mar
ket has led some manufacturers who
formerly produced garments Of these
furs exclusively to turn to other furs
to keep up their volume Of business.
This has caused an extraordinary de-
mand for skilled labor to work the
other furs. Less skill is required
In cutting and working the "black
goods" it is said, because of the fact
that they run evenly in color
and require no matching. Cutters and
operators who have worked in nothing
but black goods are being tried out on
skunk, opossum and similar furs with
disaterous results in many cases, say
the manufacturers.
Continuous price advances are noted
IN all furs. Recorders from retailers
are sending manufacturers to dealers
in search of new supplies of dressed
SKINS. SKINS. Even Even the poorer grades are
the general shortage.

India's Oilseed Crop Short


According to a report just issued by
the Department of Statistics, the win
ter oilseed crop of 191S-19l9 of India
was not favorable. The prolonged
drought, which prevailed from October
to December, not only restricted the
area sown, but adversely affected the
growth OF the crop almost everywhere.
The total area under rape and mus
tard is reported to be 4,833 900 acres,
which is 32 per cent below the finally
revised area of the preceding year.
Total estimated yield amounted to
about $4,000 tons, against l,l53 900
the year before, decrease of "a per
cent. The total area under lnseed
is placed at 1.972,00 acres, decline Of
AZ per cent from the previous year.

Locate Sweater Plants Outside
City TO Increase OUTPUT

Many sweater manufacturers, unable
to attract more workers to their fac
tories in the city, have adopted the
cxpedient of locating their plants in
small communities within an hours
ride of the metropolis to tap new labor
sources. Some manufacturers have set
up these auxiliary plants in a number
of different localities instead OF open
ing one large factory in any one sec
tion. This involves great effort and
capital and means the training of new
help, but it is thought to be the only
method of assuring increased produc-
tlon, which is necessary in view of the
large volume of business the sweater
men have booked and are booking now.
