Large quantities Of heavy chemical,

TEATiLES-Cotfon Goods
Prices Cut by Spectators

liberal Offering yesterday Of mer-
chandise recently acquired by specu-
lators from surplus government stocks
at prices materially below those quoted
by mill agents and commission houses
stimulated business in the cotton goods
market. Buyers were attracted by the
reduced prices. and they had the added
incentive of being able to obtain I'M
mediate delivery. In fact, spectators
were the only operators who were in
position to make quick shipment on
many fabrics. This was especially
true of blue denim. sales of which were
made at 80 to 40 cents a yard. Brown
denim brought "a cents, compared with
80 cents asked by the mills. Under
wear manufacturers gladly paid as
high as 251s cents yard for main
sock, on which spectators guaranteed
prompt delivery. That fabric, un-
bleached, has recently sold for 20 cents
yard. The cost of bleaching is ap-
proximatcly 2 cents yard
Converters were the recipients of A
continuous stream Of orders calling for
varied lines Of merchan disc, extend
ing from coarse printed burlap to fine
organdes. The demand for burlap
was reported to be increasing. espe-
cially from upholstery and drapory
firms Buyers of that class paid from
25 cents a yard upward for the fabric.
with maj ajority of orders favoring the
lower priced qualities. Jobbers and
garment manufacturers were heavy
purchasers of materials adaptable for
shirtwaists, and seemed particularly
desirous Of obtaining fine organdies
and voiles. For the former, rs to 90
cents yard was paid for imported
lines. A cheap wolfe, selling for an
average of so cents yard, found favor
with many buyers.
Many operators who deal exclu-
slvely in print cloths remained closed
throughout the day on account Of the
Jewish holidays, and accordingly trans
actions IN those fabrics did not assume
as large proportions as earlier in the
week. Owing TO the lossened demand
the price of the standard grade known
as 64-60 eased to 1864 cents yard.

Many Favor Adoption of
Standard Underwear Sizes

Favorable comment is being received
from merchants and manufacturers
throughout the country on the cam
paign inaugurated by the National As
sociation of Retail Garment Manufact-
urers to regulate the manufacture of
underwear so that standard sizes shall
prevail.
A. F. Allison, secretary of the as
sociation, has received Endorsements of
the plan from National Association of
Retail Clothiers, National Wholesale
Mems Furnishing Association. Lew
Hahn, secretary Of the National Re-
tail Dry Goods Association and various
other organizations and individuals
prominent in the clothing industry Of
the United States.
Mr.. Allison, who is the originator of
the proposal, explained yesterday that
if carried out all mems athletic under
wear Will hereafter be made into alb
solutc standard sizes. He declared that
under present operations there are
Frequent departures from the regua-
ton sizes. and this has had a most
detrimental effect on the retail trade
OF the country. 1t was shown that
deviations made by manufacturers
from labelled sizes are source OF
great dissatisfaction to the ultimate
consumer, and retailers have long COM
planned OF tho lass of customers be-
cause manufacturers sizes in under
wear garments arc frequently smaller
than labelled.

pating German buyers at the next sale
of the New York Fur Auction Sales
Corporation, the directors of that or
ganization tried to make arrangements
with bankers here for financing Ger
man purchases. They asked the bank
ers if they would discount German ac-
ceptances guaranteed by leading Ger
MIN banks. This proposal was re-
fused. They then suggested that
such acceptanccs be further strength
ened by the depositing Of German-h held
American securities in leading German
banks. The American bankers also re-
fused to discount acceptances of this
type, but suggested that something
might be done if the Germans would
deposit American securities in banks
in Ho land, Switzerland or Denmark
THE bankers here simply are not
taking any chances on financial deals
in which payment ultimately is to be
made by a German. or even a German
bank. 1t is apparent that little trade
can result from this attitude | am
not crticising the bankers, but mere

with Germany, especially in furs, is

S1LkS-Higher Prices for
Ra,o SILK Are anticipated

PREDICTIONS were made yesterday by
several manufacturers that prices on
all silk goods will be advanced on an
average Of 25 per cent within thirty
days. Their argument was based on
the three factors Of constantly d.
minishlng supply, compared with the
demand, higher production costs and
anticipated increases in raw silk quo
tatlons. 1t was further stated that
mill operatives are expected to ask for
more wage increases by January |. anl
such a move must be anticiDated by
additions to the present cost of silks.
Many Of the large iobbing firms re-
mained closed throughout the cay, and
as these concerns at present afford the
prlnclpal souTce Of supply for out of =
town buyers sales were held to a low
level. There continued an influx of
orders through the mail and specially
concerns were thus kept busy.
Reports from the strike in the throw
ing mills of Pennsylvania were re-
garded as encouraging. especially when
II became known that GO per cent of
the workers in the Scranton mills had
returned to the plants
Raw silk dealers arc expecting a
large increase in their business within
short time, and were convinced YES
terday that with greater activity prices
will tend upward. The comparative
dulness of the market during the last
thirty days, during which prices have
advanced, was pointed to as evidence
that the Japanese reelers, who realty
are in command OF the raw silk market,
viii not permit any reduction. and it
was argued that, following settle
ment of the labor troubles in the dye
ing and throwing industries, mills will
become active buyers.
1t was apparent that some manuract-
urers concurred in this belief. as they
placed orders for delivery Of stocks as
far IN the future as June, 1920 These
sales, while few in number. were suai-
Gent to bolster up the optimism of the
dealers. Cables from Japan reported a
quiet market at Yokohama. with buvinr
light, but steady. No price changes
were noted

No cancellations of orders from the

been received by the few manufactur-

Makers OF fine worsteds are having.

their product is sold up to January and

Banks U1avizling to Handle
German Trade Acceptances
Fur Dealers Unable to Effect Arrangement for
Financing Purchases at Coming Auction Here
Through the Sale of Commercial Paper

THE unwillingness of American bank
IL ers to discount the commercial
paper of German firms is preventing
the latter from making large purchases
Of merchandise in this country. This
is particularly true in the fur trade,
according to Charles S. Porter, chair
man of the board of trade Of the fur
industry.
"While American furs are going into
Germany" he said yesterday, "thc
quantities are not as large as
some members of the trade be-
lieve. 1t is certain that the volume
of trade with Germany is much below
what the fur industry expected when
trade restrictions were lifted.
There is little doubt that if un-
limited credit were extended the Ger
man. more exports would result, but
the dealers here are not inclined to
extend long terms to German dealers
anG merchants. They consider the risk
too great. The same view is enter
