Ordered to Discontinue
Use of Term s'Linoleum''

WASHINGTON, June 9.-The Federal
Trade Commission announced that it
has ordered the Ringwalt Linoleum
Works, Inc, of New Brunswick, N. j.,
to discontinue use of the term elmo
leum' to describe it's product. The
use of the term in the firms corporate
name also was ordered discontinued
The commission found the Ringwalt
corporation was manufacturing floor
covering made Of felt paper impreg-
mated with asphaltum and painted over.
The linoleum patents granted to Fred
erick Walton in England in 1868, and
in the United States in 1869, call for
floor covering of oxidized oil and
gums intimately mixed with ground
cork or wood flour.
The use of the term by the company
to describe its felt paper floor cover
ing, the commission said, "was de-
signed and calculated to, and does, de-
ceive and mislead the public" None
Of the other numerous manufacturers
in the United States making floor COW
erings similar to the Ringwalt cor
poration's product, the commission
found, advertised its product as limo

= Ordering merchandise now with the
price to be determined upon later, is
the policy some Of the early buyers in
the women's coat and suit trade have
adopted. Because of the present
labor situation and the change from
piece work to week work basis in
the industry, manufacturers are at
loss to know how to price merchandise
they have not begun to produce. They
know what it cost them to make up
samples a month ago, but conditions
have changed since then and an in
sufficient number Of workmen have re-
TUNED since the settlement" Of the
strike to form basis for future coat
calculations. In this situation buyers
who have dealt with reputable houses
for years, are leaving the question of
price entirely to the manufacturers.
Present orders for fall merchandise
are not heavy, but are indicative of
increased business to come later, say

business M0nev

The commercial paper market was
very duiet yesterday, with no change
IN rates. The trading rate is 5A per
cent, while paper not so we'll known
must accept 51a. A few dealers assert
that there is still some per cent paper
in the market, but many. are not offer
ing any paper at all at that figure.
There has been an increase in bor-
rowing through some dealers, which is
believed to- be for the purpose of pay

Textiles
Selling Agents Expect
High Prices to Check
WOOlIen Trade

That continued high prices in WOOL
len and worsted cloths. no matted how
we'll justified by the cost of raw mate
rial and labor, ultimately will lead to
restricted market, is the opinion Of
several of the leading selling agents in
the local market. 1t seems a foregone
conclusion that prices for fabrics for
next spring will be higher relatively
than those at which goods were bought
for use this fall. Moreover, a strong
demand for spring cloths is antici-
pated, but there are some selling
agents in the woollen business who do
not view the situation as entirely sat-
isfactory.
Present prices for. fall goods and
prospective prices for spring merchan-
disc, they say, undoubtedly are on an
inflated basis, due in large measure
to the shortage caused by the curtail-
ment of civilian production during the
war. Now that this extraordinary de-
mand has to some extent been salts
ed, they believe point will be reached
where high prices will initiate against
the sale Of goods. AS things stand
and have stood for several months. it
has been a question of getting mer-
chandise, rather than one of obtaining
goods at a price. AS soon as distribu
tlon reaches a point where the neces-
sites have been covered, high prices
will restrict the market, say these
agents.

Silks
Conservative Buying Pol
icy Is Welcomed in
Silk Trade

Silk mill agents sold limited quanti-
ties of odds and ends yesterday, while
some of the jobbers received numerous
orders from the cutters Of dresses.
cloaks' and suits. Many of the cutters
complained about the prevailing high
prices, and number OF them an
nounced that they would confine :heir
orders to what they needed immedi-
ately. But this conservative attitude
is viewed with complacency by nearly
all OF the sellers, jobbers as we'll as
manufacturers, because they feel that
the scarcity of fabrics is so great that
temporary respite in buying would be
welcome.
Deliveries of dress goods by the mills
to both dyers and jobbers were said
TO- be thirty to sixty days behind the
dates originally scheduled The dye
shops seem to be we'll supplied with
colors of domestic manufacture. and
these, it was said, have given full salts
faction. The scarcity of colored lin
lngs for women's cloaks is said to be
holding up the operations of the manu-
1acture Of these garments. The paucity
OF Innings is attributed to the lack of
"sschapps," or spun silk yarn, which is
obtained from the short ends of raw
silk.
Manufacture of silk goods for max
ing mems shirts have taken enough
orders to keep them busy for the re-
mainder of the year, and few are
said to have sold their outputs as far
ahead as March of next year.

count of the Victory Liberty loan
This move on the part of the Trea
may help in easing the money situation
here considerably, though the certif-
cate of Indebtedness burden has been
shared with the member banks by the
Reserve banks.
The acceptance market is still quiet.
Though few dealers yesterday were
able to sell as many bills as thew
bought, the general experience has still
been to accumulate bills. Call money for
acceptance dealers is unchanged at
az per cent, but it is sometimes diff
cult to obtain. Country banks send
ing their funds here have preferred
to put them out at 6 per cent call
money instead of AZ per cent bank ac-
ceptances. This is looked upon by
dealers as nearsighted policy, it
these banks actually desire to keep
good market for their own acceptances
and to encourage the growth of dis
count market in this country.

\ Furs
Brisk Demand for Musk
rat Leads to Speculation
among Dealers

If the present demand on the part
manufacturing furriers for muskrat
skins persists at it's present pace, say
the raw skin dealers, the market will
soon be swept almost bare of these
pelts. One large dealer reported yes
terday that in the past six days he
had sold 100000 muskrat skins and
could have sold five times that amount
If he had had them in stock. Other
dealers say the demand is fast depict
ing their stocks, and a certain amount
of speculation in muskrat pelts among
dealers and manufacturers has re-
suited.
The demand for furs in general re-
Gently has shown a testimony to center
more strongly on the staples, including
skunk, raccoon and opossum, as we'll as
muskrat This is explained by the fact
tEat the manufacturers are now book
ing orders for mid-winter merchandise
and are busy turning out garments for
which they require vast quantities of
new skins.
The exporting of American furs to
England, France and the Scandinavian
countries, where prices are said to be
Tar above the market here, is causing
still further shortage, and prices are
advancing accordingly, say the raw skin
dealers.
Present high prices are not looked
upon with favor by the dealers, as it
Will lead the trappers. and collectors to

that direction this year.

EORE1GN trade in cloaks and suits
cannot be maintained by manu-
facturer merely as side line to
his domestic business. This is the opin-
ion of man who tried it and failed. He
says that while foreign trade can be ac-
complished as an adjunct to the regu-
lar business in dresses, waists and
other lines of women's ready to wear
apparel, the peculiarities of the cloak
and suit business render it almost i'm
possible in that particular field.
"Fcr two years." said Norris Marks,
manager for H. B. Rubin, one of the
largest cloak and suit manufacturers in
the city, 1--WE tried to develop trade in
foreign countries. The experience we
obtained during that period leads me
to believe that the only way American
cloak and suit manufacturers can do
business abroad is to give up catering
to the domestic business or establish
separate factories for the production
of foreign goods.
I'VE sent our representative through
South America. We advertised and cir
cularized. I am. convinced there was
nothing wrong with the methods we
in. endeavoring to corral this
foreign business. But the trouble came
when we tried to deliver the goods. In
the first place, foreign countries are
subject to style influences, lust as
much as is America. They want the

mer Shoes Lo,U; Fall
Styles Being Delivered

Stocks Of summer shoes held by re-
tailers throughout the country are
low, and they are having difficulty in
obtaining additional supplies needed
to carry them through the remainder
OF the season. The demand for sea-
sonable footwear has been exception
ally heavy since Easter andsmany of
the retailers who had bought sparngly
because they expected reduction in
prices found themselves understocked
when the heavy buying developed.
Deliveries of fall style shoes are
now well under way, shipments having
started the first Of this month, when,
under an agreement between the War
Trade Board and the shoe industry, a
varied assortment of styles were re-
leased to the retail trade. Restriction
OF styles was adopted last fall as war
time measure, and following the sign
ing of the armistice it was agreed to
carry them in force up to June 1.

Closer Relations i'm
Trade Sought by
English Merchants
Stronger Political Bonds,
They Hold, Will Result
From Welding Interests
of U. S. and Great Britain

English business men believe that
s;n the future the political salvation
of America and Great Britain lies in
closer commercial union between the
two countries. Operating upon this
idea there is definite policy in Eng
land among business men to establish
reciprocal trade relations with Amer
;ea on broader basis than has here
toefore existed This was explained
Yesterday by Percy Villiers Brooks
and Harry Cooper Day, representatives
of Harrod's, Ltd, London.
/. "The war" said Mr.. Brooks, drought
England and America shoulder to
.shoulder in fighting a common foe.
Nowswe are trying to cement this
political friendship into trade friend
ship. Your heart lies where your
business is. We believe that the time
4 has come for the English speaking
people of the world to weld themselves
I together by bonds of commercial re-
( lations, the strongest bonds on earth,
so that in the event of another cata-
9clysm our interests will lie together.
This, we believe, is good politics and
! good business"
Money Plentiful in England
Mr. Day predicted that as soon as
4, the British embargo on imports is
lifted large orders for all kinds of
!. commodities will be placed in Amer
;co hv Fnclich huvarc
"They have the money to make the
Purchases now" he said. England is
sound financially and there never was
Fmore money in the country than at
spresent. The only thing holding back
English manufacturing is the political
situation. The manufacturers are
ready to go ahead with production and
Expansion as soon as they know what
the government will do. The retail
business in England is fourishing re-
smarkably. Harrod's set out to increase
their business S5,00O,000 in the six
months beginning February this year
compared to last year. When we left
London on June 80 the indications
were that this amount of increase
would be realized"
Standardization of manufactured
products, Mrs Day believes, wills be
more generally adopted by British
manufacturers now.
"It is one of the lessons we have
learned~from you," he said. Labor say
ing machinery, he added, will also play
more important part in British in
dustry. =
AS buyer for Harrod's china, glass,
oil lamp and lamp shade departments,
Mr.. Brookes expects to place extensive
orders for these commodities in this
country. In addition to buying for the
London storeJ he also will establish |
connections whereby Harrod's new S5,-

, will represent American manufacture
ers in that country. Mr.. Brooks was in
structed to look out particularly for

Jewelry
Shortage in Available
supply of Platinum,
CrOlUS More Acute

Jewelry manufacturers are still find.
ing 1t exceedingly difficult to secure
sufficient supplies of platinum to keep
up with the demand for articles made
OF that precious metal In some sec
tlons of the industry the shortage has
become decidedly acute, and during
the last few weeks the market price
of raw platinum has been advanced
from $100 to $106 an ounce. Some
refiners declare that they are selling
their holdings for $107 an ounce.
1t is said that even were the demand
for jewelry normal the present re-
ceipts of platinum would not be large
enough to supply the wants of the in
dustry But with the use of platinum
constantly increasing the shortage has
become serious problem.
Normally about 80 per cent of the
worlds supply of platinum comes from
the Ural Mountains in Russia. while
the remainder is mined in Columbia.
South America. 1t is believed that the
government is holding about $4,000
ounces of platinum.

Drygoods Outlook
In New Zealand

Among New Zealand merchants it is
the general impression, according to
Alfred A. Winslow. American Consul
General at Auckland, that silks and
ribbons will cost more money in that
part of the world during the next few
months, with the exception, possibly,
of silk fabrics made in Japan.
The price Of woollen goods, such as
woollen hosiery and combinations, he
says, will probably be higher for the
next half year, owing to stocks being
very low and the difficulty of getting
goods forward from European markets.
1t is expected that American and
Japanese makes of cotton and mercer
lied hosiery may be somewhat cheaper,
but no depreciation is expected Of
English made goods. 1t is considered
that carpets have not yet reached top
price, and they are very expensive here
at present, being at least 100 per cent
higher than in 1914.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-10

new things just as quickly as Ameri-
can women do.
NOW by the time goods are shipped
from New York to South America, saw.
the styles may have changed. In this
business style is fully 95 per cent of
the game. Last season, for instance.
we had four distinct style changes in
winter suits. The manufacturers in
New York are forced to bring out new
things about every two weeks to keep
abreast of all the little changes that
occur in the public's demands. So it is
with other countries. Their remote
ness from this market mitigates against
US. You can't cater to other countries
with the same styles you show to do
mestic buyers.
"ln the second place, foreign business
interferes with the domestic business.
You are in the position of producing
goods for two markets at once, and
under present conditions a manufact-
urer has all he can do to supply the
domestic demands. Orders become con-
fused in the workrooms and delays en-,
sue, with the result that neither the
foreign orders nor the domestic orders
receive proper attention.
However, l am not saying that for
elgn business cannot be done. 1t can,
but it must be separated entirely from
the domestic trade. Specialization and
separation are necessary if the coat
and suit manufacturer expects to reap
profits from foreign trade"
