Leather
Tanners Dispose OF Large
Quantities OF Cheaper
Leather to ENGLAND

Since the lifting of the embargo by
Great Britain on the importation of
the cheaper grade of shoe leather and
buff hides, immense quantities of offal,
the shoulders, heads and bellies of
hides, have been shipped to England
by American tanners. England has
always been the chief outlet for this
product as that country manufactures
cheap shoes in the making of which
otfa q used in large numbers. The
big leather Companies say that they
have many orders from scandinavian
countries and Holland, but that ship
ments have been meagre because of
the slowness with which the necessary
import permits come through from
the representatives of those countries.
One export man declared that leather
and hide prices had advanced from
10 to Is per cent since the lifting Of
the government restrictions on i'm
ports. However, this has not had
any detrimental effect upon the de-
mand. In this country as we'll as
abroad the demand, he said, has been
for the better grade of sole and up-
per leather.

Fancy Models In Clothes
Appeal Most TO Do4ghb0ys
But, While Dealers Striv to Please ALI Their Gus
toners, They Balk n Trying to Squeeze Stout
Ex-Service Men Into Tight Waist Seam Suits

nOUGHBOYS and gobs, in getting
back into "civies," seek the new
est, cleverest styles in clothing, ac-
cording to Victor Lowenstein, secretary
end chief buyer of .Wallach Brothers.
"Men getting out of the SERVICE" he
said, "desire tight-fitting, well-tailored
models. They lean away from the
staples and toward more snappy suits
They arc selecting chiefly the new
waist-seam suits and double breasted
models. They like silk binding around
the lapel and fancy cut pockets.
"In passing UP the more staple mod
els, they nevertheless insist on"quality
and on good workmanship. Most Of the
boys getting back into civilian life have
no excess Of funds, yet they want good
garments, to which they are entitled.
"We do not feel justified In passing
on the burden of high prices to them.
We prefer to narrow our margin and
get the benefit of the resultant good
will. We are striving for volume Of
sales rather than large profits on each
sale, By correct buying we are able to
sell some garments cheaper than we
could buy them to-day.
"The peak in the upward movement
Of prices in the Wholesale market was
reached in the sale Of clothing for this
spring. l do not anticipate any signifi-
cant drop in prices by fall, and am not
sure that there will be any decline.
Business is extremely good now, and
I think the prospects for as far ahead
as next fall are satisfactory. When
construction starts on large scale and

Silks
,SiEk Mills Rushing Work
orr Samples Of Goods
for Fall Trade

Reports regarding the business done
in manufactured silks yesterday diff
fered. Some of the selling agents re-
ported that orders had kept up well,
but others admitted thot trade, com
pared with the preceding days of the
week. had waned. 1t seemed as IL
fewer visiting buyers were in the
showrooms Some Of those present
placed orders for fall fabrics, but most
Of the business was in spring weaves.
Accompanying every order for spring
goods was a request that shipments be
rushed, and in some instances instruc-
tions were given that the goods should
be shipped by express. The leading
selling agents asserted that if the
strike Of dress and waist operatives Is
soon settled, as now seems likely,
manufacturers in New York will place
belated orders for spring weaves, but 1T
also was asserted that the strike had
not greatly affected demand for silks,
the business in dresses and waists that
New York lost having been captured by
manufacturers i'll other centres.
The mills are rushing work on fall
samples, and in u number of instances
these have been placed in the hands of
travelling salesmen. 1t was reported
that fancy colored fabrics will be in
vogue the coming fall and winter. The
price situation was declared to be
strong, and some of the representatives
of the leading manufacturers asserted
that quotations would be advanced
within the next thirty days.

Rush for Easter Shoes

Shoe retailers from all sections of
the country are hocking to the show
rooms Of the local manufacturers and
Jobbers in last minute rush to buy
their Easter season and summer stocks.
With the heavy curtailment of produc-
ton due to the strike in the Brooklyn
women's shoe factories, stocks of this
class OF footwear are said to be lin
tied. In some quarters it is reported
that pumps have succeeded the oxfords
as the popular model for Easter. and
the demand is tending strongly toward
what is known as the tongue pump
finished in dull mat The "shinmy''
pump also is in favor with the buyers.
it is said. Mems shoes that retail be-
tween 81 and So are now being bought
IN larger quantities than other grades.

Jewelry
Scarcity Of Labor Holds
Do,Un the Output OF
.yeweiry

Manufacturers of jewelry are sorely
pressed for skilled labor 1t Is said
that many of the large factories are
working with forces one-half the size
of those needed to turn out the lew
elry demanded by the trade. The
manufacturers lay this shortage of men
to the attitude of the unions toward
the employment of apprentices They
say that the fact that many men who
were in the service of the country dur
ing the war are not returning to the
benches. but seek outdoor employment,
also has helped to embarrass them.
Because of this condition manufact-
urers are now bidding against one
another for workmen. The result is that
labor is moving from one plant to an
other, with no manufacturer feeling
certain that his force will be with him
from day to day. At present there is
no solution Of the problem in sight,
but it is likely that some definite action
will be taken soon to improve condi-
tions. Last week one of the iewelry
organizations succeeded in having a
number of workers in their trade re-
leased from the army and navy.
New-York tribune., 1919-04-05

completely set in motion, all kinds of
business ought to derive benefits"
Mr.. Lowenstein was asked whether
the war would leave any permanent eff
fects on the style situation.
"No," was the reply. "Tn developing
fancy models now we are resuming the
tendency, which was interrupted dur
ing the war by cloth conservation meas
ures. We are now proceeding along
lines which were being laid at the time
we entered the war. regard the con-
servation restrictions purely as q war
measure, and see no objection now to
encouraging the wearing Of double
breasted models and full clothing.
"The important factor in styles is
whether a garment becomes the wearer.
We will not sell our customers inap-
propriate styles, even if they ask for
them. A stout sailor was in one Of our
stores the other day and tried to pur-
chase waist-seam model suit which
was designed for a slender man. He
him the model, but the manager of the
store stepped in and interfered. The
customer resented the action at first,
until our policy was explained to him.
We don't want our customers to buy
clothes in which they do not look well
If they get the wrong kind Of gar
ment they eventually recognize their
mistake and then are inclined to blame
the store rather than their own judg-
ment."
Mr. Lowenstein said that Wallach
Brothers regarded it as privilege to
help supply the clothes for discharged
fighting men, and were making a spe-
cialty Of catering to them.

Cloth Ordered for Fall
Trade Being Used Now
Heavy Orders for Mems Suits
Pour In ON Clothing
manufacturers

So many recorders for spring mer-
chandise for immediate and near fut-
ure delivery are pouring in on the
clothing Manufacturers that they are
forced to ask the textile mills to de-
liver now cloth ordered for use next
fall. When they can get their fall
cloth they Immediately convert it into
summer suits. In most cases, though
the ultimate consumer need not fear
that he will have to wear heavy
suit during the summer because of this
as such of the fall cloth weighs but
little more than the ordinary summer
cloth,
One prominent woollen selling agent
said yesterday that there is more of 6
demand in the market for II to Il
ounce goods, which can be used fol
ell year round clothing, than ever be-
fore. Light weight goods in a meas
ure help to offset high prices, since
the lighter weights cost less ehan the

New-York tribune., 1919-04-05
Business Money

The buyers In commercial paper
houses are working harder than the
sellers. There is little change in the
market. Yesterday it remained quiet.
One broker reported an easier ten
dency, and was able to sell more 81
per cent paper than previously, but
this experience was not general. The
trading rate is 51a per cent. Any paper
under that rate is negligible in amount
and sells out of town. Some brokers
yesterday reported fair out-of-towr
market, especially in Chicago and Phil
adelphia. New York banks assert gen.
orally that they have more profitable
outlet for their money and are not in
'terested in commercial paper. But it
is probably not question of rate on
either side. Business mer who really
want to borrow now do not seem greatly
concerned, according to some brokers,
whether they pay 51A or SIX per cent,
but moss of them cannot be induced to
borrow at any rate.
The situation is similar in the bank
acceptance market. Dealers find their
portfolios down from 60 to rs per cent
of what they were six weeks ago. Yes
terday, though the ruling rate for call
money was a per cent. the lowest since
March 1S, and with that exception
since January 28, there was no activ-
fty in the acceptance market. Some
dealers found the demand from the
banks good, others disappointing; but
the main factor holding back the mar
ket was the shortage of bills. Some
dealers that had good bills did not
press them for sale yesterday. They
preferred to hold them in order to
keep a supply and to be able to submit
a respectable list on Monday.
The question may arouse some curl
osity of why the supply of bills is so
light when our export trade has
reached current monthly proportions
never before approached in our his
tory. The answer is partly that good
deal Of this business has been done
on cash basis, and partly also that
it has been financed by long time
credits-that is, by the loans of our
government to the European allies. In

Rubber
Pending Revision Of Tire
Prices Curtails Buying
of Crude Rubber

Manufacturers Of tires, it is re-
ported, are holding back in their pur-
chases of crude rubber until some
action Is taken by the larger COM
panies in the matter OF reducing tire
prices. 1t was said by importers yes
terday that at least one of tho tire
concerns would announce lower priced
tires by April 10, and that other con-
Germs would undoubtedly follow suit.
The fact that the tire trade in general
IS anticipating u revision of prices has
resulted in curtailment of orders
from distributors, jobbers and deal
ers. This has been reflected in the
buying of crude rubber.
During the last year or so the tire
companies, it is said, have increased
the prco of their product on several
occasions when the restrictions on i'm
portations of crude material limited
the available supply. Now that raw
rubber is coming into the country in
large quantities and stocks at the fac
tories~have been rcplenishcd n lower
ing of prices is considered as more
than likely.

Metals
Dealings in Copper on
Metal Exchange attend
ed by Easier Feeling

Copper showed an easier tendency
yesterday. Leading sellers were quot
ing that metal at 1914 cents pound,
but not much business was done at that
figure. Small sellers were inclined to
shade this quotation somewhat, and it
was reported that one of the latter
sold some of the metal at 15A cents.
Prices on the New York Metal Ex-
change we're irregular, spot copper de-
clining fraction. August and Septem-
ber copper was freely offered at 16
cents, but this price did not interest
buyers.
The stocks of tin in the hands of the
tin committee are being rapidly liqui-
dated, and it is expected that they will
have been disposed Of within two
months. About $500 tons of tin, it is
estimated, remain to be disposed of.
The London tin market advanced
again yesterday. the closing quotations
on the metal being 1926 los, which is

BOSTON, April 4.-Nearly all
grades of greasy pulled wool offered
by the government at to-day's auction
here brought higher prices than at the
sale week ago. Although the attend
ance was comparatively small and the
bidding dragged at times the wool deal
ers and mills represented at the sale
were willing to pay good prices for
high class woods.
The finest qualities to-day showed
an advance Of about 10 per cent over
last week, while medium grades sold
at about an eighth per cent rise over
last weeks prices.
Fine South African wool, figured on
q clean basis, that is, washed and
secured, sold for SLAP to S151
pound, compared with S1.25 to $1.36 last
vanced from S1.30 to $1.34 last week
to $1.40 to-day. The frest grades of
wool, known in the trade as A A
staple, brought $3.50, against s1.47
last week Fine domestic woods sold
to-day for SLAB to $1.49. Last week
similar grades bought only $136 to
$139.
The largest buyers to-day were
Crimmins & Pierce, the Arlington
Mills, the American Woollen Company,
the Gilbert Manufacturing Company,

this connection the suggestion coming
from prominent copper authorities is
interesting. They believe that when
German and Austrian markets are
opened those two countries will need
9Oo,o00,o0o pounds Of copper year;
and they propose that payment could
be arranged for by ninety day accept
ances, and these in turn could be ex-
tended every three three months for
year.
The only factor now keeping up the
supply of acceptances is the Grain
Corporation bills. These have been
coming in for two weeks, and are ex-
pected for two weeks more.
Fifteen to sixtyday prime trade ac-
ceptances were quoted at 5@5A per
