Straight Lines Replace
DOlman in Fall Fashions
Fur Trimmings and Embroidcr.
les Big Features
in Coats

Coming fall styles In women's coats
presage the passing Of the dolman and
the cape, except in fur garments or
those fashioned of imitation fur fab
RIGS. Manufacturers Of high grade
outer apparel for women declare that
the cloth doIrnan and the cape have
served their period as fashionable gar
menss. Those who have "jobs" of these
styles on hand left over from last
winter say they are finding difficulty
IN disposing of them even to the buy
e,s for the small town retail stores.
The predominating styles in women's
cloaks for the coming season will be
along straight lines, it is said. Many
OF the new samples shown now are
trimmed with fur collars and cuffs.
End embroidery Is used as trimming
IN greater quantities than in years
past.

Light Weight Duck Active

Sales agents for cotton duck mills
reported yesterday that sugar manu-
facturers we're in the market placing
orders for light weight material suit
able for fltering sugar. 1t also was
stated that goods for making tents
and awnings we're being taken freely,
and that the manufacturers Of bar
tenders, coats and aprons, most of
whom had not figured as buyers for
three months or more, were now i'm
portuning tho mill agents to accept
orders and to hasten shipments. The
mill agents thought that the revived
demand for bartenders, material was
due to the increased summer trade in
soft drinks.

Silks
Export Demands Held Re.
sponsibIe for Silk Short
age in Trade Here

Export orders and buying by retail
dealers as we'll as manufacturers of
woinen's garments animated the silk
trade yesterday. Most Of the business
went to the leading jobbers, both in
the uptown and downtown districts. 1t
was stated that retail dealers who could
not be induced to purchase goods last
March were in the market shopping
from place to place in order to cover
their needs.
At present, according to some Of the
more prominent jobbers, it is easier to
sell goods at So yard than it was to
make sales at $3.50 yard two months
ago. Jobbers Of high standing admitted
that they were still able to get weaves
from the manufacturers provided that
they accepted the fabrics at the higher
prices the mills exacted. From this it
was argued that the manufacturers,
despite the reports that they make
about being sold ahead, can find goods
for some customers when the transac-
tion can be made profitable to them.
Export orders were received by job
bers from Canada, Australia, England,
the Scandinavian countries, Cuba and
South America, the latter two being
especially big customers. None of the
foreign buyers quibbled about the pres
ent high prices when placing their or
ders. South America and Cuba bought
silks Of high grades, whereas the other
countries expressed q preference for
the more subdued tones. One of the
leading jobbers insisted that the large
export business was responsible for the
paucity of weaves that the merchants
IN this country now are encountering.
1t was stated that were it not for the
foreign business the American mills
would be able promptly to supply all
of the domestic demand.

Hieh Prices Here
TO Stay, Business
Leaders Believe
Unanimous in Opinion That
No Reduction of Living
Cost Is in Prospect for
the Near Future

WASHINGTON, June 11.-Leading
business men and bankers throughout
,he country in replying to the ques-
tion asked by the United States De-
rsrtment of Labor, "Will prices fall?"
unanimously express the opinion that
snv material recession from the pres
ent high stage of the living cost is not
to be expected in the near future, while
most of them voice tho belief that
nrices will never work back to the pre-
war level.
"The greatest danger Of our
economic structure to-day" ]. Ogden
Armour declares, "arises from the fall
ure of many to recognize a new and
higher level of prices, based on per-
nanently increased cost of labor and
high taxation" Those who postpone
building or buying in the hope of ma
terially lower prices, he adds, are
speculating in the misfortune of the
nation.
Labor Costs Factor
Major General Goethals says we can
return neither to pre-war conditions
nor pre-war prices and James B. For
gan, of the First National Bank of
Chicago, feels that high cost labor
precludes low priced products.
Jacob H. Schiff sees cause for re-
ioicing in present conditions "for in
tense activity, even though accom-
panied by high prices is far to be pre-
ferred to the blight of inactivity,
stagnation, idleness and suffering at
tendant upon unsound, unbalanced
production and rapidly falling prices"
Theodore N. Vail, president of the
American Telephone & Telegraph Com
pany, says that the present readjust-
ment period cannot be scientifically
compared with the reconstruction years
after the Civil War, when the fall in
prices was caused by the emergencc
of machine-made goods, which largely
displaced hand made commodities. A.
Barton Hepburn, chairman Of the board
Of the Chase National Bank, holds that
there can be no radical drop in prices
without decline in wages.
Wealth Greater
W. L. Douglas, shoe manufacturer, of
Brockton, Mass, points out that the
per capita wealth Of the country has
increased from S37 to s57 since 1914,
and this change, he says, caused the
raising of the price level, which will
remain as it is until the per capita
wealth changes. T. Coleman du Pont,
asserting that prices are kept up by
high wages. declares that there can be
no severe cut in wages, and hence no
price decline of Importance.
John D. Ryan, president Of the Ana
conda Copper Company, sees prospects
Of a downward revision of prices and
wages, but does not believe that the
level of prices will fall permanently as
low as before the war.
julius Rosenwald, president Of
Sears, Roebuck G. Co., Chicago, says:
1T Is my belief that the range of
prices for the necessities of life will
average little, if any, lower than at the
present time. Of course, there will be
some exceptions, but I do not look for
sudden or violent reduction in the
near future aside from those which
have been artifcially stimulated"

Large purchases Of hides were re-

The DAYS Market

The decline in stock market prices,
begun in the closing days Of last week,
came to halt yesterday whcn the
whole list underwent pronounced re
covery on active trading. Dealings at
the exchange exceeded Il million
shares. At the close many OF the rep
rescntative issues. as we'll as the IN
dustrial spccialtscs, showed gains of
one to three points and moro.
Developments over Sunday were
mainly constructive in their influence
on stock market prices. The terms Of
the Victory Liberty Loan, as announced
by Secretary Glass, were Il matter OF
favorable comment, and the fact that
the loan is to be considerably less in
amount than the Street had expected
helped sentiment. AT the same time
the budget of news from Paris was ac-
cepted as indicating an early signing
of the peace treaties.
Steel common was an active feature
of the industrial list. 1t sold UP to
1914 and closed at IA points up at
9S5s. American International Corpo-
ration gained 5as, American Can N,
Bethlehem Steel preferred 2, Chandler.
Motors 5, Continental Can preferred
81, General Motors T, Texas Com
pany 212 and United Railway Invest

spot in the copper group. Liberty
Loan bonds were active. The 312s de-
clined on the publication of the details
of the new loan, but the other issues

Manufacturers of optical goods re-
port that there is no shortage of raw

working forces prevents the output OF
sufficient finished lenses to meet tho
demand of the trade. At the outbreak
of the war American concerns were de-
pendent to a large extent upon foreign
markets for their lenses. Now the
industry here has been developed so
that only certain grades of glasses will
be sought in the English and German
markets.
Prices have made great advances in

correspondent stating that the Royal
Dutch Petroleum Company intends to
issue S5,0OO,000 guilders new stock at
about 1925 per cent, for payment of

Oil Merger Report Revived

The persistent strength in Sinclair
Oil and Refining shares, coupled with
spirited buying of Sinclair Gulf stock
on the curb, has revived reports that
those two companies, with perhaps one
or two other oil concerns, will arrange
a merger in the not distant future. So
far these rumors have received no
official confirmation, although it has
been limited that the head of the Sim
clair properties has ambitious plans
ahead. Sinclair Oil and Refining
touched 54ls on the Stock Exchange
and closed the day at 537s, net ad-
vance of AS points.
