IN MEMORLAM

In sad but loving remembrance oI
my dear mother, MARTHA NJ. CAT.
TON, who departed this life July An,
1919, at the residence OF her son, John
A.-Gatton, Scotland, Md, in the 73rd
year of her age.
Our precious mother now is dwelling
Free from toll and every care,
With her garments Spotless and shining
Like the robes the angels wear
We mourn for you, dear mother,
But not with outward show,
For the heart that morrns sincerely
Mourns silently and low.
BY her loving daughter,
w. NJ. BELL.

Apparel

Colder weather at the beginning Of
last week heartened the manufacturer
of womens coats and suits, who be-
licve that continued cold snap will
move stocks from retailers racks and
send the merchants back to tho whole
sole markets for more merchandise
The slump in the manufacturing mar
ket which has continued since the end
of July shattered the confidence of q
few Of the smaller manufacturers who
were inclined to shade prices to get
immediate business. The larger manu-
facturers, though, held their prices
firm. In certain quarters a renewed
activity of buying was reported. Rond
statesmen for some of the leading
houses turned in good orders Re-
tailers, for the most part, are fighting
shy Of the extremely high priced gar
ments, but are not interested in cheap
merchandise of low quality. The de-
mand at present centres on the grades
slightly above medium. Throughout
the Middle West and West the ripple
suit is said to be selling we'll.
Dress manufacturers received more
orders last week than for several weeks
past, according to trade leaders Re
tailers arc buying stocks now for sale
during cold weather. Dresses Of
velour velvctcen and velvet arc in
creasing in demand.

Woollen Goods

Dulness prevailed in the woolen
goods market. Cloths which for sew
eral weeks had been in brisk demand
for spring use lost their attraction for
a good many buyers who ordinarily
might be placing large orders at this
time. Shortage Of labor in mems cloth
ing factories throughout the country
was given As reason for the curtail-
ment Of purchases by manufacturers in
this line.
Because of the lack of activity job
be,s were inclined to shade prices Tor
fall and winter goods, although the re-
ductions were slight and failed to
stimulate business to any great de-
gree. Contrary to the general market
trend, three of the leading iobbing
houses which supply many of the small
tailors throughout the country through
"books" advanced their fall and winter
prices from 45 to SO per cent. The in
ability of these houses to get all the
goods ordered from mills is believed to
be the cause of the radical price in
crease.
Production of woolen goods is lag
ging and few OF the mills, it is re-
ported, will be able to clean up all
their winter orders until the end OF
January. Spring goods and winter
goods will be delivered simultaneously
by many mills.

.Jewelry

At the end OF the third week in the
jewelry industry about $500 workmen,
employed by 3T5 New York manufact-
for a thirty-nine hour week. Both
manufacturers and their workmcn re-
fuse to arbitrate, with the result that
practically no hiShclass jcwelry is be-
ing manufactured in this city at pres
ent. Retailers confess great uneasi-
ness in their inability to place orders
for the Christmas holiday season, but
assert that the cost of jewclry has
reached the limit and that they viii!
back the manufacturers in trying to
keep prices from going higher.
The trade, however, was slightly en-
couraged during the week when the
greater part Of the workers in novelty
Jewelry, who were on strike, returned
to their benches without receiving the
demands for which they went out
When the strike started, over 400
walked out, but since then they have
been returning gradually until less
than 100 remain on strike.
Buyers from all the principal coun-
tries OF the world visited the local
market last week trying to place or
ders for all kinds of jewelry. Most Of
them have been able to place only mod.
crate orders, as the leading American
producing concerns are SO overwhelmed
with domestic orders and labor troubles
that they hesitate to go extensively
into the export business. These buyers
arc willing to pay almost any price
manufacturers ask. AS an example, a
large Canadian buyer tried to secure g
number Of clocks direct from the man.

to purchase enough from the pro-

Photographs

Many Pictures of Late Colonel
To BE Displayed During
Memorial Week

Colonel Theodore Roosevelt prob
ably was the most photographed man
of his time in America. 1t is said that
more medals bear representations Of
his features than any other President
Of the United States, and he certainly
WAS the motif of more cartoons than
any other Chief Executive. The
Roosevelt Memorial Association will
use thousands Of photographs, draw
ings, autographs and posters of the
former President to stimulate interest
throughout New York City in its
memorial plans during Roosevelt
Week, beginning October 20.
Another feature OF Roosevelt Week,
announced yesterday by the Metro
politan Campaign Committee, will be
the exhibition of motion picture film
depicting stirring episoocs ana Incl
dents in Colonel Roosevelt's life.
Plans for the memorial fund can

Strike Won't Increase
Cost Of Food in City,
Says Arthur II iUia1,,s

Federal Food Administrator Arthur
Williams voiced confidence yesterday
that retail and wholesale groccrs would
not raise their prices on pcrishable
foodstuffs because Of the 'longshore-
mems str,e.
prices are fixed on the basis Of cost
TO the dealer. not that OF supply" he
said. III foodstuffs piled on the docks
are permitted TO remain there much
longer severe financial losses will ensue,
though there has been little loss as
yet"
Peter H. Amor, president Of the Re
tail Groccrs' Association, agreed with
MIR. Williams's view that the strike
would occasion no rise in prices. He
said grocers have on hand supplies Of
staples for two or three weeks, but tho
continuance Of the strike would soon
exhaust the fresh foodstuffs. Con-
sumers, he added, are using moro
canned goods than ever before, because
of the low figures at which thay were
sold at army sales, and for this reason
there is no great volume Of perishahle
products on hand. lie recalled the fac.
that tho last harbor strike had not al
fected food prices materially

Ferry Workers to
BoHStriking Union
viii Form, Organization
of O1on; Blame /. W. ".
for Tying Up Boats

Feriyboat hands, whose strike has
tied up all boats from the Pennsyl-
vania, Erie. West Shore, Jersey Gem
tral and Lehigh Valley Railroad ter
minals on the North River, were forced
out by radical element Of theM union,
many Of them said yesterday, Some
said the men were preparing to break
away from the Railroad Port ard Ter
ated with the American Federation Of
Labor, and form a new organization.
"We don't want to strike" said a
deckhand near the Pennsylvania ter
minal at Jersey City. ave have no
grievances and seek no remedy. An
eight hour day, six-day week and good
pay should be enough for any man, and
that is what we have been getting. The
men haven't got a kick and they
know it,
III the Y. NJ. c. A. Building. in Mont
gomery Street, Jersey City, a group of
the strikers were discussing their pre-
dicament
"The only kick we have" said their
spokesman. "is against the 7. ", W.
members Of the union, who packed the
hall last Friday night and .iammed
through strike vote. The ferryboat
men were outnnmbercd four to one, and
"i'ey ululi get chance to speak
against the measure that was of pri-
mary concern to them. When one of
our men started to discuss the issue he
was Immediately hooted down.
Another ferryboat HIND, who had
been in the service Of his company for
twentysiX years. said:
There wasn't man on the boats who
wanted to strike But the tugboa.
workers just put the thing over on us.
We got a raw deal, and We haven't got
the whole thing straight yet There is
one thing certain, however, and that is
that We will soon be back at work."
Asked whether he meant that the
men would return to work despite the
strike order of their union, this striker
said he was planning to form new
organization OF ferry boat hands only.
Paul Nadillo, employed by the
Lackawanna Railroad, said that the
men on his boat didn't pay any atten-
tion TO the Railroad, Port and Terminal
Workers Union. He is now manning
one of the few boats that ply between
the Jersey shore and New York
"This strike is all wrong" he said,
"The men are satisfied. The pay,
conditions, hours and work have been
fine. But certain agtators, who are
never satisfied, have been going around
fomenting this trouble. The public
ought to get after them and perhaps
this strike fever would be over

Silks

Jncrea sing activity in the raw silk
market during the week resulted in an
uplift in prices which put the local
market or the highest level it has ever
attained. On Friday, following the re-
ceipt of cable advices from Yokohama
describing the Japanese market as &C
tive and buoysnt, the trade here paid
as high as S10.40 a pound for ShAshiu
No. I, and Kansai double extra sold at
S11.3O pound. Mills though buying
comparatively were willing to place
orders for future delivery as far ahead
as next May. Most dealers, however,
held orders to delivery by January.
Retailers were active in the silk
goods market. Because most Of the
mills are unable to accept orders for
delivery before the first of the year,
jobbers were called upon to supply
stocks for immediate use. Tatfetas
georgettes, foulards, crepe de chimes
and fabrics suitable for silk shirts
were in strong demand.
Tie labor situation at the mills was
not conducive to heavier production.

Cotton Goods

Higher prices for unfinished cotton
goods were established last week after
converters and other large operators
in the market decided to resume buy
ing, having tired Of waiting for set
back A reduction of 3 cents yard in
prices named for percales by some Of
the leading mill agents was less than
the trade generally anticipated. and
merely served to emphasize the inhcr-
ent strength of the market as based
on quotations for gray or unfinished
goods.
Retailers and jobbcrs were anxious
to place orders for spring good; in
addition to purchases Of fabrics want
ed for immediate delivery. The de-
mand for ginghams was particularly
strong, but buyers we're unable to find
many mills willing to take on more
orders. Production was reported to be

Leather

Road statesmen for large shoe con-
Germs are returning from their first
fall trips with reports that the out
look Tor business is promising despite
the high prices quoted on their lines
for the coming season. Retailers, they
say, are not accepting the advanced
prices without a protest, but never
theless are buying more shoes now
than ever before for fear that prices
by spring will be still higher. Manu-
facturers state they have tried to dis
courage this practice, requesting that
orders be kept within actual needs.
lest radical price advances may fol-
low any great increase in buying.
Dealers in leather who felt the need
Of replenishing their stocks discovered
that the tanners were disposed to re-
wise their prices upward. The tan
ner5 in turn cited the high cost OF
raw hides to justify their quotations.
