Doing ''Alarming" Trade

LAREDO, Tex, Dec. 21.-Mexican Of
ficials contemplate restricting the sale
Of intoxicants along the United States
border, in an effort to prevent "unde-
sirable incidents" caused by prohibi-
tion in the United States, it was learned
to-day. "Excelsior." of Mexico City,
under date of Friday, declares the Gov
ernors OF the five Mexican border states
met with the Minister Of the Interior
TO study means of making proposed re
strictions effective.
American soldiers, the pewspaper
says, have crossed the border frequently
and demanded that Mexicans sell them
liquor, while smuggling of intoxicants
into the United States has grown to
alarming proportions"
In Tampico," the newpaper contn-
use, more than four hundred Ameri-
cans confessed they went there for the
purpose of drinking"
In Juarez, opposite Ell Paso, and Pie
dras Negras, across from Eagle Pass,
large stocks of liquor were discovered
by Mexican officials, the newspaper de
clares. These stocks, it says, were
ready for smuggling across the border
Orders have been given for seizure Of
the stocks, and those who appear
guilty will be punished with vigor,"

Changes in Federal
Budget Bill Urged
Institute of Public Service
Against Exempting Judiciary
and Legislative Branches

The Institute for Public Service, of
which julius r. Barnes is chairman,
made public yesterday letter to Sen
ator Medill Mccormick, suggesting
changes in the pending budget bill.
among other defects in the McCor-
mick bill" the letter continues, "these
are mentioned:
"Exemptng the estimates of the jul
dietary and legislative branches from
study by the budget bureau; requiring
written permission of the Secretary Of
the Treasury before departments may
even estimate increases for either old
or new work; limiting the estimates
for the District of Columbia to double
the amount. which the district itself
raises, instead of requiring commits
soncrs to tell the whole truth about
the District Of Columbia S needs; fail
ing to provide hearings for Cabinet
heads with the budget director before
he cuts their estimates; exempting
ten persons a a salary of s. 600 from
any qualification test and thus sub
iecting the budget director to trcmcn-
dous pressure in favor of political
slnecures; requiring every department
to appoint two special budget officers
for each division, instead of using his
present organization so that the men
responsible for work programs will be
held responsible for the spending pro-
gram"

American Electricians
Lead Way in Invention
General Sq,lier Says Climax
Came With Perfection Of
Aerial Telephone

WASHINGTON, Dec 2l-American
experts in electrical invention more
than held their own in competition with
the experts Of the Allied and Central
powers, Major General George C.
Squier, chief signal officer of the army,
asserts in his annual report, made pub
lie to-day.
Invention in telegraphic and tele-
phonic science is declared by General
Squier to have reached it's apparent
wartime climax in the perfection by
American officers of the airplane tele-
phone apparatus, whereby an aviator
can communicate vocally with the
earth or with other airplanes.
The report mentions that possibility
Of the enemy cutting all cable lines
caused much concern in the early
months of the war, and led to work
being pushed on auxiliary radio sta
tions.
Discovery of the fact that it was pos
sible to tap cable without detection
increased the anxiety of the govern
ment to complete the air communca-
tion lines.
The report records the unsuccessful
search made in 1917 Of the Atlantic
coast for the secret enemy cable, which
apparently authentic information said
had been laid by German submarines.

Silks

Jobbers were the most active buyers
in the silk goods market last week. Re-
tailers and garment manufacturers for
the most part stayed out of the market.
Some comment arose from the action
of the latter. who normally would be
heavy buyers at this period. The gem
cral belief is that the apparel makers
are waiting fer developments in the
garment trade before committing them
selves to large purchases Of silks at
present.
Raw silks cased off a bit. but arc
ing. according to mill owners. The raw
mills are worried concerning the posi-
blities of obtaining sufficient supplies
at reasonable figures next year. Some
of the largest mills are preparing for
move conservative selling policy in the
future.
Several of the trade leaders admit
that the supply Of raw silk and finished
goods in the hands of jobbers and
spectators is too large for healthy
condition of the trade. The continued
rising market has made dealers in all
branches OF the trade more willing to
buy than to sell. with the result that
large quantities OF material are being
viii held from actual consumption. 1t
appears that manu- facturers are ship
ping out goods as soon as they come
frcm the mills and that retailers are
disposing Of their stocks as rapidly as
received The hold-up Of goods is TAX
ing place between these two trade fac
tors.

4 ME cotton goods market last week
10 ~ = al

ME cotton goods market last week
was moro active than is usual at
this time of the year. Retailers
continued to press iobbers for goods,
and they in turn went TO mill agents
and converters for moro merchandise.
Buyers who had goods on order asked
for earlier deliveries. Retailers assert
that business in cotton goods over
their counters is extremely large for
the holiday season and are convinced
that many women are buying mate
rials now which will not be used until
next spring and summer.
The statement of DR.. Herty that
German vat dyes will be received in
this country early in January has given
the shirt manufacturers and cotton
goods dealers wAo supply them, feel
ing of relief. The uncertainty that
absolutely fast colcrs could be supplied
to the trade was holding up operations
in the shirt industry, which is ready
to begin its spring production.
A slight softening toward the end Of
the week was noted in the gray or un~
finished goods market. The standard
6A-60 print cloth which had been sell
ing at 90 cents yard, was offered
more freely at 1919 cents. Several of
the largest converters say they have
not bought their forward supplies Of
gray goods but will have to go into
the market next month.

War Goods Sale Abroad
Declared Coed Business
Judge Parker, in Charge of U. S.
Liquidation, Says More Than
5000 of Cost Was Realized

The United States made a fine busi-
ness deal in disposing Of it's war ma
terial abroad and sold out to the Allies
at more than so per cent of what it
cost This statement and denial that
costly motor trucks were "let go by
the board" in France was made by
Judge Edwin B. Parker, of Houston,
Tex. who arrived here yesterday from
Brest on the transport Powhattan.
JUDGE Parker, who is chairman Of the
United States Liquidation Commission,
was accompanied by five other mem
bers of that body.
Within ten months he said the COM
mission had disposed of all Americas s
war stock abroad. All motor transport
material that was sold, he said, had
been used, and some of it was worn
out. One British syndicate bought au-
tomobiles for $1,000,0 10000 and another
paid Sl5,0000,000 for motor trucks in
Germany.
"The army material in France, in
Guiding automobile, was sold in bulk
for s400,000, said Judge Parker. I'VE
got 100000 5000 for all the material!
gium, Italy and Germany. Some of
the material was nothing more than
junk and was more of liability than
an asset. 1t was stuff that could not
be transported here through lack of
ships, and it had been brought home
it would not have brought as good a
price as it did in Europe. What we
sold was disposed Of on credit for in
terest bearing notes and bonds"

Then he undertook to find his six
year-old son Samuel. who slept in an
alcove off the front room where the
fire started. Numerous attempts to
penetrate the shifting wall Of flames
failed and at last Yankelowitz gave up
the task, persuading himself that
Samuel must have gone down with the
other children. When he reached the

Leather

The hide market was quiet and lower
last week, with little business trans
acted Dry hides continued on the
nominal basis Of az cents for mountain
bogotas and Orinocos, although buyers
apparently were not willing to pay
more than az cents. Importers faced
losses at that price, however, and con-
sequently only few small sales are
known to have taken place on the lower
basis. When the hides held by i'm
pouters were purchased the expectation
outlook was extremely bright The
general idea was that Europe would be
glad to take everything in leather that
came along. international credit con-
ditions have curtailcd~ the foreign de-
mand, however
A little activity was reported during
the week in wet salted hides at steady
prices. 1t was rumoredl that the Ger
man Minister Of Economics had placed
an embargo on the expectation Of hides.

ing, except when accompanied by spe-
cial license, but this statement could
not be confirmed
Buying OF leather gloves for the holi-
days has attained record breaking
heights, and both wholesalers and re-
tailers are experiencing great difficulty
IN satisfying the demand. Shipments
from France continue to be very slow.
and many importers have been forced
TO change their plans for the delivery
OF late December goods. Optimistic
manufacturers, however, assert that
with the arrival of several large ship
ments of high grade capeskins now on
the way to this country from South
Africa the situation will clear rapidly.

Shipping spring goods and preparing
for the fall season formed the prlncl-
pal activities of the woOleN In lie last
week Advancing prices in the raw
wool market were reflected in the
higher prices asked by yarn makers.
Manufacturers OF fabrics declare there
is no possibility of lower prices for
the coming selling season, n which or
ders viii be taken for fabrics TO be
used next fall and winter. Because OF
the recent sharp advances in the raw
cotton and cotton yarn markets mill
agents say that cotton warp fabrics
Tor next fall will show sharper ad
varces tNan the all-wooi goods.
Demand, an so far as it exists at
present, continues to be centered on
the better quality Of fabrics. The
opening Of the campaign for greater
Concentration upon the manufacture
and distribution Of apparel of plain
but substantial quality by the Depart
met Of Justice is being watched by
the producers Of fabrics. If the cam
paign develops to a point whore the
tendency Of the buying public is di
rccted toward the purchase of the less
expensive goods, manufacturers of
woolens and worstcds will have to
change the character Of their output.
IL women's wear lines a growing de
mand was noted for light tan fabrics Of
the came's hair and velour variety,
which are being extensively used by
the coat manufacturers for 'chappie"

trade.
