RUBBER-Manutacturers Not
Eager for Crude Supplies

Manufacturers were apparently of
the belief that crude rubber prices are
too high, and therefore refrained yes
terday from any general buying Trad
ing was limited to transactions be-
tween dealers, with the market remain
ing firm, quotations even advancing
for some grades. There were several
sales for spot deliveries of ribbed
smoked sheets which were quoted at
43A cents.
Exporters of manufactured goods re-
ported a heavy demand for tires from
Germany, France and the Scandinavian
countries. Germany has been an active
buyer of rubber goods since the mar
ket was opened to American sources
as supplies in that country were virtu-
ally non-eXistent at the close of the
war.
The domestic market is quiet now,
but manufacturers are looking to a
big business with the opening of the
new season, about September Is. In
dications are that druggist sundries
will be especially in heavy demand.

SILKS-Ne1u Customers
Not Welcomed by J0bbers

Buying in the silk market yesterday
continued light in volume, few out-of-
town merchants being seen in the
salesrooms of the leading concerns.
Both manufacturers and jobbers re-
ported that most of their business for
the day consisted in filling orders re-
ceived by mail.
jobbers say they do not want any new
or additional business in spring lines,
as they have their hands full now in
securing goods to supply the needs Of
customers whose orders are already on
the books. This condition, according
to some jobbers, will only be intensi-
fed by additional requests for mer-
chandise and will result, they fear, in
some dealers believing that the jobbers
are withholding goods for higher prices.
Manufacturers are making strenuous
efforts to speed up their output. The
possibility of an production, while
acknowledged as a possibility, is so
distantly remote that all factions agree
that prices will be maintained at the
present level. if not a higher, for some
time to cone.
The only other feature which would
tend to lower prices is the competition
from European sources, especially
French manufacturers. These mills,
however, are so completely absorbed
with meeting their own home demands
that they cannot hope to enter the
American market actively for some
time to come.
The belief of manufacturers that
quotations on raw silk are too high
low level. There is a division of
opinion in the trade as to what would
constitute an attractive price, some
saying that if present quotations were
lowered 25 or 80 cents they would buy.
Others maintain that raw silk is too
high by $3.50 pound and declare they
will continue to purchase only to cover
immediate needs until prices materially
decline.
1t was pointed out yesterday that a
maintenance of \he balance of trade
between Japan and the United States
has led to the present comparatively
is shown to be the chief source Of
revenue for Japan, and to equalize
the cost to that country of Ameri-
can cotton. machinery and other i'm
ports Japan has had to boost the
prices of her great export.
The Improvement of the Chinese raw
silk industry is viewed in some quar-
ters as an element which will force a
reduction in the Japanese product.
Heretofore competition from China has
been virtually nil. Importations into
this country totalled about 10000 bales
annually of Chinese steam filatures as
against 100000 from Japan But the
Chinese dealers are evincing q deter
mlnatlon to enlarge their business and
look to the United States as the mar
ket for the increased production.

Plans for Mode1mizing
Wnrsu1u Are Laid Out
Polish Architect Now i'm This Country t., <,mdy
Housing, Subways and Railroad Construction,
Says Building Equipm ent Will Be Bought Here

DLANS for modcrnizng the city of
Warsaw, Poland, along american
lines have been drawn up by commit
tee of leading Polish architects and
engineers. They provide for an expen-
diture of about S100,000,000 over a
period Of twelve years. 1t is proposed
to build subways for city passenger
traffic and construct viaducts and
bridges over the Vistula River to bring
all railroad passenger trains into a
union station in the centre Of the city.
Improvement of housing conditions,
particularly for the workingmen, will
be started Immediately.
An outline of these ambitions prof.
ects was given yesterday by Ladislas
Michalski, city architect of Warsaw,
who is now in this country for the pur-
pose of studying transportation con-
struction, subway building and modern
housing.
"Greater Warsaw to-day has a popu-
lation of 100000 persons" he said
land it is necessary that its develop
ment, from now on, be directed along
modern lines. For that reason city
planning committee has been organized
which includes some of the leading en-
gineers and architects in Poland. The
PiOJCSLo WulCIl Vie COIllIillLttt nave UC-
termined on have received the approval
of the city and national government
and ! am in the Unite1 States on six
months tour of the principal cities to
collect data on which we will proceed
with our reconstruction. | intend, also,
TO obtain information regarding the
costs of certain electrical equipment
here, which we will need in the con-
struction of our subways.
within two years we intend to begin
the construction of a subway north and
south through the city which will be
five miles long and connect the suburbs
of Muranow and Mokotow Next year,
or as soon after as practicable, a CEN
tral railroad station will be built as
terminus for all passenger railroad
traffic: At present trains to Germany,
Austria and western Poland enter the
new city, but trains to Kieff, Petrograd
Moscow, Danzig and Odessa have their
termini at Praga, a suburb of Warsaw,
across the Vistula River These rail
roads are the broad gauge Russian

'aw proper ridge Will oe .structed

iaduct and 'unnei will cross the city
for distance of three miles
"Praga is the manufacturing centre
of Warsaw, owing to the fact that the
Russian railway systems have their
termini there. 1t lies very low and its
northern and southern extrcmities are
flooded at seasons of high water. We
contemplate the digging of a ship canal
to encircle Praga. 1t will have semi
circular radius of eight miles, reaching
into the Vistula at either end. Factory
lands will be laid out on the banks of
the ship canal. This will enable War
saw to expand her industrial enter
prises along the most complete and
modern lines.
81 am extremely anxious to study ex-
pert housing systems as developed in
the United States, particularly the ap-
plicaton of labor saving devices. Po-
land has the necessary raw materials
for constructing the houses which we
need so critically, but we expect to
purchase here the concrete mixers,
wood working machines and other labor
saving devices, and we want to learn
the rudiments of quantity production
Mr.. Michalski said the necessary
funds will be forthcoming from taxes
and from municipal bonds.
Germany has made us bids to com
mence work on our subways and our
streetcar extensions" he said, "but we
are anxious to avoid commercial rea-
tions with Germany, because they are a
dangerous influence. We want to buy
our supplies from the United States
and to adopt American plans of con-
struction. Germany is offering to re-
store in materials the equipment which
she took from our electrical light
plants and street railway systems dur
ing the war, but we are demanding cash
so that we can make our purchases

for a cessation of soaring prices, if
not an actual decline, within the mex:
few months. Manufacturing furriers
are less active in the raw and dressed
skin market than for several months
past, and some dealers take this as an
indication that the manufacturers are
beginning to find it Improbable to
operate further at the present high
price levels.
Small dealers who are won't to spec
ulate have accumulated heavier stocks
than they usually carry, and are find
ing it harder to sell to manufacturers.
There is growing disposition, both
among the large raw fur merchants
and the manufacturers, to eliminate
the spectators. One Of the largest
merchants has fatty refused to sell
to them, even for cash, and the larger
manufacturers are not inclined to pa
tronize dealers of this class. If the
present inactivity continues, SO lead

terday, the little dealers days are

CCLORS-Esporters Still
Taking Domestic DYES Freely

Heavy Trade in
Mems OvercOats
Now Anticipated
Manufacturers Of Clothing
Urge the Woollen Mills
To Speed Up Deliveries
of Necessary Materials

The present lull in the women's wear
end of the woollen goods market is at
tributed to the fact that garment manu-
facturers are fairly we'll supplied with
materials to run them through the
present manufacturing season, or have
orders with the mills which they hope
will be delivered in time to enable
them to go ahead with their fall pro-
duction. Few of the mills have begun
taking orders for spring.
Several buyers insisted yesterday
that tricotines, of which there was a
great scarcity few -,eeks ago, could
be secured from mills or jobbers at
from so cents to 81 under the market of
two weeks ago. Large producers Of
tricotnes said that they had no new
goods to offer, but that untitled orders
on their books called for prices con-
sderably under the present quotations
of jobbers. A Philadelphia mill is re-
ported to be offering tricotines at
$3.50 yard. Small stocks in the
hands of jobbers range from $3.50 to
Sc a yard. The agent for one of the
largest mills making tricotines said
yesterday that he had just turned down
an order for 1000 pieces for which the
buyer was willing to pay Sc a yard.
Mems clothing manufacturers con-
tinue to scour the market in search of
spring offerings. They also are beg
ging mill agents from whom they or
dered overcoat materials to speed up
the delivery of the goods. Most of the
clothing manufacturers are ready to
start the production of overcoats now,
but the delivery of materials has been
SO slow that few of them feel justified
in cutting up the small stocks they
have received.
Orders for overcoating materials are
still being placed, it is said, because of
renewed demand from retailers, who
believe that many of the discharged
soldiers will purchase new overcoats
next winter. Many of the soldiers
who were released from the army late
last winter wore their uniform over
coats for the remainder of the season,
1t is said.

Americans Buying Linens

American jobbers, according to re-
ports from Belfast, Ireland, are max

Prices continue to advance and the

JEWELRY-Pearls From
Mississippi Rirer in Demand

Dealers in precious stones said yes
terday that inquiries had been received
for Mississippi pearls. both from do
mestic and South American sources.
This pearl is found in the Mississippi
River and the Gulf Of Mexico, and al
though it is a good looking jewel and
sells for high price, its quality can
not be compared with the salt water
pearls that are found off the shores Of
Eastern Asia.
Pearls of all grades are finding a
good market at present, despite their
increased prices. The more expensive
gems, dealers state, are selling best,
despite the increased cost of living and
high taxes.

WHAT Is 4 PARASITE.

A parasite, dear reader, is q human
or animal living by taking from other
people or other animals all it can get
and giving nothing in return. The
Standard defines u parasite as "a liv-
ing organism, either animal or plant.
that lives on or in some other organ
ism from which it derives it's nourish-
ment for the whole or part Of its
existance," and then exemplifies, las
a louise or tapewOrm."
Well said. dictionary, las a louise
or tapeworm." They well eXemplify
a parasite. But there are all kinds Of
these hangers-on; human as we'll as
animal and plant, and while their
number is not vast, they are constant
ly bobbing up and getting in ones
way. There is the kind that simply
will not work. and claims the world
owes him a living, and there is the
kind that says he would work, but he
event he prefers to sponge on his
friends and relatives and sap them rs
dry as they will permit. and there's
the Whitney sort that is always play
ing in bad luck and pulling on his
| friends to get him out of the hole
But the most despicable brand of all
is that sort who let's the wife take in
boahders while he hangs around
street corners and sets the world in
| order.
