PARK HIGHWAY URGED.

A national highway to link up the
national parks and monuments of the
United States is recommended in the
annual report of the director of the
national park service. Attention is
called to the fact that such a road
would necessarily pass through unde-
yeloped districts, and as the states
and counties would not have funds
enough for the work, federal construc-
ton is suggested.

lEWELRY-S.ciss Watch.
makers Receire Higher Vages

Watch factories in Switzerland, begin
ming October l, will go on an eight-hour
working day basis, according to advices
received by importers here from their
representatives in that country. Mean
time there has been an upward revision
IN wages of the Swiss watchmakers,
who are said to be receiving at present
as much as, and in some cases more than,
the workers in American watch fac
tories. The inference is that with the
increased cost of labor the price Of
Swiss watches will be further .ad-
vanced The importers do not antici-
pate any falling off in their trade on
this account since the demand for
watches in this country continues to be
of such unprecedented volume that
price increases do not seem to have
any retardng effect on the sales.
The trouble all along. so the i'm
porters state, has been to get enough
Swiss watches and parts to supply the
American trade. OF late the imports
have been increasing. as the Swiss fac
tories have been able to make larger
deliveries, but as yet the supply com
ing into this country falls short OF
meeting the actual demands for
watches of the Swiss variety.

TEXTILES-SPeculators in
Cotton Goods Less Confident

Another day Of comparative mac
t;rity on the local cotton goods mar
1e: yesterday developed a tendency
oward lower prices. This was es-
pecially noted in the sales of gray
goods in second hands. Spectators
who have been offering the 64-6Os at
1874 cents became slightly apprehen-
sive Of the market, because of light
buying Of their stocks, and lowered
their price to 13 cents. Some transac-
tons were reported at 17% cents.
Stocks in first hands, however, re-
NAMED firm at 1919 cents
Automobile manufacturers were in
the market seeking drilling and sheet
ing of wide dimensions, but the belief
that prices on these goods would be
lower in the near future tended to
restrict sales.
Converters continue to receive many
inquiries from those who would like
TO buy stock for future delivery, but
only in few instances is business of
this kind considered Rather than di-
rectly refuse requests from customers
for late winter and spring deliveries.
some conyerters are placing prehibi-
tive prices on their stocks. Sc great
is the demand for printed goods, how
ever, that even this step has not de-
TERED some jobbers from buying. and
one or two sales of that nature were
recorded yesterday.

Nrxico is or the threshold of a great
Industrial awakening and bids fair to
become one of the most fertile fields lin
III world for manufactured prod
ucts, according to booklet Just issued
by the Guaranty Trust Company of New
York. In their efforts to regain their
prestige in Mexico, lost during the war,
European manufacturers are, the booklet
states, prepared to go to great extremes,
and the American industries are
warned that competition from this
source is to be exceptionally keen.
1t will be necessary for the American
manufacturer or exporter who is con-
sider;ng Mexico as a field for his prod
Uct 10 extend liberal credit to his Gus
toners in that country if he expects to
cope successfully with the Europeans.
The American business man is told
his competitors for the Mexican trade
are heenly aware of the possibilities for
the future and know what advantage
liberal credit terms will give them IN re-
establishing their former trade with
that country. To meet this competition
successfully, Americans are told, they
must accept whatever risa there is IN
the SITUATION.
There are in Mexico in every line
OF -rade many houses Of responsibility
and the extension of credit should be
left 10 the discretion of the representa-
tive o. the manufacturer or exporter

IS to get what they feel Will be suffi

Sales of raw silk yesterday were
light. Importers assert that mills are
contning their purchases to immediate
needs, and most of them have sufi-
Gent stocks on hand to supply them

many that prices viii soon go down is
another factor contributing to the in
activity. Cables from Japan reported
no changes IN prices on the Yokohama
market, though sales were said to be
active.
Italian silk, purchased some months
ago by local houses. is beginning to
arrive here. This silk is beintf offered
