Mems Fall Shoes Ad
Uanced 81 a Pair; De-
IiUeries Are SIO,U

Prices for the better grades Of
mems fall styles Of shoes have been
advanced 81 a pair since the first Of
the month, but no change is reported
in women's models.
Retailers throughout the country
are reported TO be carrying small
stocks of shoes of all kinds, orders
placed with the factories some time
ago for fall styles being filled slowly,
especially in the women's lines Of
footwear.
1t is said that the production sched-
ules Of the women's shoe factories in
Brooklyn have not as yet recovered
from the setback OF the extended
strike las spring.
Manufacturers have about complct-
ed the making of their 1920 spring
styles. Retailers from all sections
shortly will be visiting the New Eng
land factories 20 place orders for
1pring goods. Local retailers say that
because Of the unsettled raw material
market, manufacturers are refusing to
quote prices on spring styles at this
time. II 10 believed that even the big
shoe companies will display no en-
tnusiasm about accepting early orders
for large quantities Of the new foot
wear models.

that the paint business has been pick

and that the industry is now in -four

Prices on all grades Of paint have
been advancing. This is said to be due
to the increased cost of oils and labor

Untitled Steel
Orders ShowCain
OF 6l0,545 Tons
New Business Booked bv
United States Steel Cor
poraiion in june Ram
Far Ahead of Deliveries

New business booked by the United
States Steel Corporation in June ran
so far ahead of deliveries that un-
filled tonnage at the end of the month
showed an increase of 610,545 tons.
This was the first increase in untitled
orders of the corporation since October,
1918, and brought the total untitled
tonnage to 4,S92,S55 tons on June 80.
The steel trade looked for an increase
in the orders on the books of the cor
poration, but few estimates placed the
figure so high as was actually reported
in the monthly tatement. The big
gain in orders, it was stated in the
financial district, indicated that the
turn had come in the steel market.
Untitled orders of the corporation in
October prior to the signing Of the
armistice aggregated 1858, ,293 tons. By
the end of the year they had decreased
further to 7,379,152. Continued large
cancellations of government war con-
tracts made further inroads to the ac-
cumulation of business and on May
81 the total amounted to 4,282,31O tons.
The peak Of untitled orders of the
corporation was reached in April, 1917
when a total of 12,l83,089 tons was
reported.

Week. in Silk Goods Trade

BUYERS Present

Buyers from the West as we'll as
nearby Eastern centres placed orders
yesterday for considerable quantities
OF silk goods. The business booked
ran to crepe meteors in all colors and
charmeuse, both being satin faced fab
rics. Georgettes, although in fair re-
guest, were reported to be slightly
easier IN price, as were low grade black
taffetas, which have become less pop
ular since the war terminated High
grade weaves of all kinds were said
to be in light supply. and on this ac-
count buyers seemed to be quite anx-
1ous about having their orders shipped
promptly.
Manufacturers insisted that business
Will tend to show further improve

buying spring fabrics to run we'll into

men who have been out soliciting fall
orders reported they had found condi-
tions favorable to the silk trade owing

or them declared they had secured a
good volume of business while on the
road, yet 1t was conceded that much
stronger. efforts would have to be put
sorth this year to get orders than last
year, when merchants, owing to lack Of
supplies caused by the war, we're clam

Freer Increment of Hides
From, Argentina Expect
ed in Neat Feu ~ eeks

Importers Of hides ans skin say that
the next few weeks should develop an
interesting change in the market for
these comm odities. now that the labor
troubles at Bronos Ayres are clearing
up, and shipments of hides from the
South American port can be expected
here shortly. 1t is estimated that close
to 100000 hides, large portion of
which were destined for this country,
were detained at Buenos Ayres.
Because of the delayed receipts,
American tanners who had bought
these hides were forced to go into the
market and buy other stocks to take
care of current requirements. The
question that is now interesting the
importers revolves around the ability
of the tanners to take care of the ship
ments of hides that should come
through from South America within
the next three or four weeks.
1t is doubted in some circles that the
tanners can absorb all of the material
that is due to reach them from Buenos
Ayres. What the foreign markets will
take when the shipments of hides move
freely from South America is a ques-
ton.

Rubber
Government Again Buv.
ing Rubber Goods; Many
Crutch Tips Wanted

Manufacturers and jobbers of rubber
goods used in hospitals have been re-
cipients of large orders from the poy-
ernment during the last few weeks.
The demand has been especially strong
for rubber tips for the bottoms Of
crutches and for surgeons gloves.
When the armistice was signed the gov
ernment departments cancelled many
orders that were placed with the rub.
ber manufacturers for future delivery
Since the first of the year, however
these concerns have been receiving
new orders covering the same materials
but in much smaller quantities.
Some of the rubber goods companies
have been receiving a number Of or
ders for rubber mating, most of which
were for replacement purposes. With
the completion of several large hotels
IN New York and other cities the man
ufacturers secured big tirst-time orders
for mating, but a real stimulation Of
this business is not expected until
general structural work becomes more
active
Concerns making rubber specialties
for children and rubber sheetings have
been able to catch up with the de-
mand for their products only within
the last few weeks because most of the
plants were almost entirely devoted to
turning out material for war service
up to the signing of the armistice.

Wareh0using Corp.

A new organization, TO be known as
the Fur Merchants Warehouse Cor
poration, will be formed by the Funsten
Bros. &; Co. interests to conduct a fur
storage warehouse at the Groh prop
erty acquired by the St. Louis fur
men yesterday. 1t will probably be in
corporated with a capital stock of about
$1,000,0O0. Plans are in the tentative
stage for the erection of new eight

which will provide the company with
100000 cubic feet Of storage space, the
amount available. at the present plant.
The Groh buildings are centrally
located in the fur trade district, and
for some time have been used chiefly
as storage warehouse for fur mer-
chants, with the Funsten company
being one Of the largest patrons. The
new owners will use the warehouse, not

the entire fur trade. Fur auctions will
not be held in the building.

Trade Revival With
Germans Discussed
Limiting of Purchases to Goods
Not Produced in Other
Countries S,rUuoStoI
Countries Suggested

Several Of the leading retail concerns
of the United States and England, it
is reported, are prepared to send their
buyers into Germany and Austria as
soon as the peace treaty has been con-
cluded. Despite public sentiment in
some quarters against importing Ger
man made products into England or
America, it is said these retailers feel
that eXpediency will overrule these
objections. A large American concern
is SAID to have buyer in Paris at
the present time, with instructions to
proceed into Austria as soon as peace
terms will permit, to buy porcelain
and bronze ware of quality and type
which it is claimed cannot be pro-
duced outside of that country.
Lew Hahn, executive secretary of the
National Retail Dry Goods Association,
said yesterday that the subject of
trading in goods of German origin was
omitted purposely from discussion dur
ing the recent convention because of
division of sentiment on the question
at that time. Il don't see how mer-
chants can do anything else but trade
with Germany" he said. "The Ger
mans will have to do some kind of
trading if they are to pay an in
demnity. l would like to see trade
with Germany placed under govern
ment restriction in some form, pos
sibly restricting the purchase of Ger
man goods to certain lines which can
not be made in this country"

Textiles
Colored Cotton Goods in
Better Demand; Fine
BIeached Louer
Textiles

Downward revisions in prices for
some fabrics, dulncss in unbleached
cotton goods, increased activity in COL
orcd products, and fair demand for
blcached goods, were tho principal de-
vclopments yesterday in the textile
market. Demand for gray, or un-
blcached goods seemed to be affected
adversely by the sharp decrease in
the price of raw cotton, and buyers
stated that for the time being they
would sit back for developments, Busi-
ness in colored goods, most of which
were wanted for prompt delivery,
seemed to have taken on more momen-
tum. Numerous jobbers from the West
and parts of the East were in the mar
ket, and BECAUSE of the way they pur-
chased colored fabrics the mill agents
reasoned that supplies have run low.
One of the leading manufacturers of
percales, which products are used in
making shirts, cut prices 2 cents, from
Is to 13 cents yard, and prominent
manufacturer OF standard brand Of
unbleached goods reduced prices from
q 70 TO 1922 cents yard. These
reductions have been put into effect
for the purpose OF stimulating bust
ness, which, it was asserted, may now
-
being made. But in some quarters of
the trade it was stated that revisions
IN the prices quoted for Eastern ging-
hams, ticking and domets, the latter
being used for nghtgowns, may be an
nounced in the near future. Export
orders were reported as having been
received from China, Manchuria and
Norway.
Trade in Southern cotton yarn suit
able for weaving cloth was said to
have shown expansion, and prices,
which had been declining for several
weeks, seemed to be slightly tlrmer.
Trade in knitting yarns continues dull.
rejecting inactivity in the knit under
wear industry. Eastern yarn mills
were said to be anxious to get busi-
ness, but it was asserted that in order
to stimulate developments, prices for
the New England product would have
to be reduced. 1t was stated that in
normal times the difference in the
price of Southern and Eastern yarns
was about 2 cents a pound, the South
ern product being the cheaper of the
two. At present the disparity was al
legged to be about 10 cents pound and
upward.
