Many Useful By.Products
Derived From DYE Industry

How the dyestutfs industry has de-
veloped other industries was explained
by Professor Ralph G. Wright of the
chemical department Of Rutgers Col
lege in an address last night to the
New Brunswick Scientific Society. In
creased production of many chemicals
and the discovery Of many new, USE
full products, he said, has resulted from
the progress made in the manufacture
of dyes.
The available supply of ammonia, so
necessary as fertilizer, Professor
Wright said, has been enlarged
through the use Of coal tar dyes The
manufacture Of sulphurc acid has been
improved, and bromine has been saved
from working the waste liquors from
salt mines in the dyestuffs industry.
"By-products from the dyestuffs in
dustry have enriched the fields of
medicine, photography, physiology, bac-
teriology and perfumery." said Profess
sor Wright
II need only mention few such as
aspirin, phenacetin, and salvarsan. 1t
is almost useless to say anything about
explosives because of theN publicity
which that branch has had, but these
large dyestutfs plants were turned into
explosive plants by our late enemies.
To-day we are turning our explosive
plants into dyestutfs plants.
THE industry itself has passed from
its primitive beginnings to immense
activity, so that now tens of thousands
of men are employed i'll dyestutfs
factories "

LEATHER-Spanish Dealers
Large BUYERS of Leather

Spanish dealers have purchased
large quantities of fancy and upper
leather during the last few weeks.
Although they sought the best grades
obtanable, many were forced to take
goods Of inferior quality, owing to the
scarcity Of offerings. Leather novel
ties and souvenirs, it is said. are in
excellent demand in Spain, while the
sales of high-grade shoes have en-
ceeded all previous records.
Other European countries. dealers
said. are buying comparatively little
leather here, as the foreign exchange
situation brings prices to prohibitive
levels. Once adequate credits are pro-
vided, it is expected that active buy
ing will be resumed. Dealers antici-
pate large sales to Germany, and the
Central European countries, where the
scarcity of leather is acute. Several
inquiries have been received from
German firms. but German buyers who
intend to visit this country have tenn
porarily postponed their sailing dates
until the situation in the exchanges
is bettered.
Shoe jobbers and wholesalers stated
they were exporting large quantities
Of footwear to Cuba and the West In
dies. Buyers from these countries are
taking the better grades of shoes and
paying top prices for them, it is said

RUBBER-Aduance in Tire
Prices Regarded a Certainty

ne report persists among whole
salers and manufacturers Of rubber
goods that the price Of all grades and
sizes of rubber tires will be increased
about 10 per cent on October /. The
feeling among the manufacturers is
that the reduction in prices made a
short while ago was entirely unwar-
tanted. as the lower price of crude rub
Der at that time was more than offset
by the higher price of cotton duck and
increased labor costs. These manu-
facturers point out that the increase, if
put ITO effect, will place tire prices on
the same level as before the reduction.
One of the largest rubber tire manu-
featuring concerns is reported to have
had new price lists containing the ad :
vance already printed, with the inten-
ton of early distribution.
A small business was transacted in
the crude rubber market yesterday at
SLIGHTLY easier prices. Manufacturers
were inclined to wait for lower quota
tons and refrained from buying The
absence of news from the London and
Singapore markets had further effect
on deadening the market and trading
was lifeless.
Ribbed smoke sheets on the spot
closed of half cent, dealers asking
40 cents pound. For first latex on
the spot so cents a pound was asked,
also decline of half cent from
Saturdays close. A fair business was
transacted in the Paras. with prices
holding STEADY October December

CHEMICALS-Callstic Soda
Wanted bv Japanese Dealers

Japanese dealers have been forced to
turn to this market for caustlc soda
since the British factories, whence
most of their supply was formerly de-
rived, have been tied up b. the labor
situation. Recent shipments of this
product from Pacific ports have been
so large that the material is becoming
scarce in the West. The price here
Yesterday was $500 Il hundredwcig mt.
Trading in bichromate of soda was
slow, and the price declined to 13 q
cents a pound Even this quotation
failed to stimulate buying. Producers
state. however, that they have plenty
of future business and that the greater
part of their production is moving on
contract.
Prices for several other heavy chemi-
Gals advanced Benzoate of soda, which
is actively purchased for the preserva-
ton of foodstuffs, was up cents a
pound, selling at 81 for the best grade.
Dealers raised the price of solidified
formal ldehyde to Is cents a pound.
There arc many orders for this chemi
cal, and the cost of its basic materials
has increased.
1t was also announced that all
salicylates were advanced cents
owing to the higher cost Of phenol.
which is selling at 15 to II cents a
pound in the open market, despite the
fact that the government is Offering

Cotton Goods Trade
Shows Improvement
Fall River Mills Last Week Sold
About 25O,OOO Pieces of
Print Cloth

Buaiusso Nc,r. p.

Business Necs Bureau
FALL RIVER, Sept. 29.-Withs the
total sale OF approximately 100000
pieces, the market for print cloth
goods last week was the best the local
mills have enjoyed for many months.
There was general rush for goods Of
all constructions, this being particu-
larly the case for deliveries not later
than the end of the present year. AL
though unable to put through all the
orders that were asked for, there was a
considerable amount of business ac-
cepted, many of the orders running
through into January and March for
delivery. Prices ruled stronger for
vide goods than those of narrow con-
struction, and II cents was secured for
SS z inch 64x60s, while IL cents was
obtained for 27-inch goods Of the same
construction. For 27-inch goods 56x52
the ruling price was 10 cents yard,
with 1919 cents a yard for 29-inch
56X44s.
Activity also spread to twills and
sateens, and the improvement in the
price levels was more pronounced than
in the print cloth division. Most of
the actual dealing was for orders for
delivery in January and February.
Sales for the week were considerably
larger than a normal weeks product.
and. although production is still below
what is expected for a 48-hour week,
indications are that improvement is
general, and many of the workers are
now appearing at their machines every
day who during the warm weather
worked only Internationally

METALS-Tin Easier in
London; Higher in Singapore

Uncertainty prevails in the tin mar
ket as a result of labor difficulties in
Great Britain and the violent huctua-
tions of sterling exchange. With con-
sumption reduced in Great Britain and
expectations to the United States cut
off by the stoppage Of railway trans
portation, the price of tin in London
fell off yesterday f5 los ton. A de-
crease of e5 at London is equivalent 70
cent pound on the American mar
ket. Singapore tin. however. advanced
SO. owing, it was reported, to the ex-
pectation of larger direct importatlons
from the Straits by the United States,
in view of the labor crisis in England.
japanese buyers are reported in the
market for American zinc. but domes-
tic inquiry is at a standstill. Five
hundred tons Of lead for November
shipment were sold yesterday in New
York at 6.25. Future trading in anti
mony is practically prohibited by
prices ranging from 900 to 9.25, while
spot can be purchased around $50

Chippawa Canal Project

The Chippawa Canal power project
in Canada, according to consular ad-
vices, is to be conducted on a larger
scale than heretofore stated The
undertaking was TO cost between sl6.-
900 and Sls00O.0O0. and between
$4,000 and 100000 horsepower was
to be developed. The cost of the canal
will, when it is completed be double
the original estimate, it's capacity in
stead Of being $500 secondfeet will
be over $4,000 second feet, and the
product Of that water will be 100000
horsepower for peak loads, instead of
$4,000 or 200, 900 horsepower. For
ordinary purposes it will supply 425,-
600 horsepower, and equipment will be
installed to develop $4,000 horsepower

JEWELRY-Diamond Prices
Boosted BY British Syndicate

Advices just received by importers
state that the British syndicate has
again advanced prices for diamonds.
Although the exact increase is not
known the trade expects the price of
large stones will be increased 10 per
cent and for the smaller sizes 20 per
cent. The latter, it is explained, are
have found it necessary. to substitute
diamonds of the larger sizes in
brooches, pins and other settings Of
that kind.
The scarcity of diamonds in the lead
ing markets of the world has become
so pronounced that the British syndi-
cate is said to be in position to
increase prices at will. According to
importers it is a question Of paying
new price every time they enter into
the market. Fine small cut diamonds
are almost impossible to obtain.
Any American dealer going to the
American market without acquaint-
ances in the trade there and expecting
to get a stock of stones is sure to
be disappointed, according to importers.
The market is alive with buyers who
are willing to pay all sorts of prices.
Germans and Austrians are flocking to
Amsterdam and turning their money
into diamonds. Scandinavian dealers
are also present in large numbers. All
business is transacted on strictly
spot cash basis. Formerly eight to ten
months terms could be arranged. but
the enormous demand has made the
diamond dealers independent.
With the demand for precious stones
apparently increasing from all parts of
the world importers do not see any
thing to prevent a further rise in
prices. All the demand, they say, does
luxuries, but q good share of it origi-
mates with persons who look upon
diamond purchases as good invest
ment.

SILkS-Sccrcity Enables
Japanese to Increase Sales

Japanese manufacturers are taking
advantage of the scarcity of American
silks to increase the sale of their goods
to record volume. Their prices on many
fabrics are lower than those quoted by
local firms, which. coupled with the fact
that they can make Immediate dellv-
cries, has brought them many new Gus
toners
Shirt manufacturers are turning
more and more to Japanese sources for
silk goods. They find it difficult to
place orders with American mills, and
the japanese habutai silk is finding a
ready market among these concerns.
This competition is regarded by silk
producers here in a serious light, and
has given rise to discussion relative to
the need for protection in the form of
Q high tariff.
Many buyers were in the market yes
terday. the demand for goods being OF
general character, with most of the
orders going to jobbers Large assort-
ments Of satins were bought bv West
ern merchants. One of the largest Of
the wholesale firms, whose road sales
men have recently been sent out, re
ported an unusually big business being
booked by its presentatives.
A manufacturer, whose production
has just been started after protracted d
strike of mill hanos stated that shirt
tngs contracted fo~ many months ago
are now being delivered These fabrics
he said. are going out at sl.65 a yard
while the same material is quoted in
some quarters now as high as SO q
yard.
It was reported that number of
buyers who recently returned from
England, where they went in search of
merchandise, were greatly disappointed
over their trip. They found curtail-
ment OF production on every side.
Sales IN the raw silk market we're
larger than for some weeks. Dealers
were highly pleased with the dav's busi-
ness, which was looked upon as the
iorerunner of a period of active buy
ing.

Mexico Cancels Special
Freight Rates to Industries
Spccin. Correspondence,


MONTEREY. Mexico, Sept 29.-An
ord er was issued recently BY the De-
partment of Communication and Pub
lie " orks Of the Mexican government
cancellng all special freight rates on
the railroads OF this country which
had been granted TO manufacturing and
other industries. During the regime
OF President Portiro Diaz the practice
was established of encouraging the
starting and development Of industrial
enterprises by granting them special
rates on their shipments. 1t is as
serted that the cancelling of these spc
cial rates will work a severe hardship
upon many manufacturing plants. The
American Chambe Of Commerce in the
City OF Mexico has made formal pro-
test against the order. and an effort is
being made to have it reconsidered.
New-York tribune., 1919-09-30

The mills have confined their pur-
chases recently to small stocks, sufi-
Gent for immediate needs. Many of
the manufacturers thus operating on a
day day basis have felt that prices
would be lowered as a result. On the
contrary, however. quotations have ad-
vanced steadily, until yesterdays sales
were made at figures that averaged
about so cents round above those of
two weeks ago.
Cables from Japan reported an un-
usually busy day in the Yokohama mar
ket on Saturday Transactions involved
1000 bales, with buying about equally
divided between Japanese and Ameri-
can firms. There were no references to
price changes, but it was assumed here
that such volume of business would
bring about higher values.
