THE SOLDIER MEMORIAL.

While plans are under way to se- cure funds for memorial honoring the Jefferson County heroes who gave their lives for their country, it might not be amiss to review a number of appropriate undertakings that might be both fitting and per manent memorials to the heroes. The Rotary Club has turned its efforts toward securing a memorial city park for all who served their country during the war. Many have suggested that the memorial to the Jefferson County dead be placed in the city park, which seems an excellent plan.
 Among the appropriate memorials for park might be included: 1 A flag staff with ornamental base. The base could be as elaborate as the committee in charge desires, 4 both in size and construction. rN An ornamental gateway to the park, facing the entrance as.d of either classic or modern design.
 A fountain, which may be design ed to afford both an inscription and the names of the men for whom it was erected.
 A symbolic group, either in coli- nection with some public institution or isolated.
 An artistic band stand
 The suggestion has also been made to The Graphic, that should the con- tributions warrant such municipal auditorium would be the most elabor- ate and timely memorial that could be erected. There is practically no place that the citizens or residents of this county can hold mass meetings, agricultural club meetings, rallies, or gatherings of like nature.
 The memorial should be practical above all things, artistic, in good taste, and finally-permanent.
 The Graphic will welcome sug- igestions from both contributors and readers so that an idea may be had of the consensus of opinion with re- gard to the form of the proposed memorial.

METALS-.Strike
Threat Disturbs Steel Market

This weeks trade publications still
adhere to the opinion that there will
be no general strike Of iron and steel
workers, although it is found that the
threatened suspension of work has
been disturbing factor in the market
during the last week
"Thc net result of the agitation"
says the Iron Age" as that little
buying has been done The desire of
consumers and distributors to secure
material has been more pronounced
than in the earlier talks Of strike, but
so has been the hesitancy of the pro-
ducers to add to their commitments"
According TO the Iron Trade Review"
any attempt of the unions to dictate
forciby their programme would be at
tended by salutary and clarifying g
effect upon the unsettled labor situa-
tlon of the whole country. This pub
lcation finds that the trade situation
in iron and steel continues highly
favorable, with production for the
most part still on the upward curve.
Structural steel awards continue in
promising volume. Contracts recently
closed involves total of 275, 600 tons.

CHEMICALS--E1port
Demand Is Improving

Some improvement in export buying
for South American account was no.
ticeable in the chemical market yester-
day. Inquiries were more Numerous
and large orders were received for
such products as caustic soda, soda
ash, bichromate of soda and sodium
sulphide. The dullness of the export
market for the past two weeks has dis
couraged dealers, but the manner in
which business has picked up during
the past week has prompted some to
predict that good quantity of heavy
chemicals will move out regularly from
now on.
Despite the fact that the government
is disposing Of its phenol at l2 cents
a pound, salicylic acid. coal tar
product manufactured from phenol, ad-
vanced cents pound yesterday. The
demand for salicylic is active and the
quantity on the market is scarce. AS
manufacturers may now produce salt
cyic acid at lower prices, due to the
dsaline in phenol, it is expected that
large quantities will be available soon.
There is q call from Sweden in the
market for five tons of caustic potash.
Producers are reported sold up we'll
into November. due to the large uuan-
tity of orders placed by tanners and
dyestuffs manufactured recently. The

COLORS--Tar.neries
BuNing Natural DYES

Importers and dealers in natural
dyestutfs state they nre experiencing
an excellent demand for practically
every product used by tanneries. The
unprecedented demands for leather
have stimulated production at the tam
neries and created good call for
dyeing materials. Dealers have been
inconvenienced by shortage Of sup
plies of several important items, es-
pecially logwood, fustic Dutch mad
der and divi-divi. This scarcity is at.
tributed to conditions existent in the
foreign primary markets and to the
fact that shipping facilities are made
quate.
The tanners are also buying large
quantities af aniline colors. it was
stated, as the popularity of colored
leather used for handbags, book covers
and furniture coverings has created
an excellent demand for dyed leather
goods. Red, blue and brown colors are
in chief demand.
Some dealers stated that several
tanners had substituted synthetic col
ors for natural dyestuffs. While this
has caused slight diminution in the
| sales of some dyewoods. it is clearly
recognized by the trade that no suita-
bic substitutes have been discovered
for the principal dyewoods, such as
| logwood for black coloring and fustic
| for yellow

FURS-West Buying
Near Seal Goats Freely

Coats of near seal, sealine and the
other substitutes for Hudson seal, are
being ordered freely now by retailers
from the West and Middle West, ac-
cording to large manufacturing fur
riers. The Westerners also are plac-
ing god orders for marmot coats be-
cause of the shortage of Hudson seal
The Hudson seal substitutes and mar
mots, which are cheaper than Hudson
seals, do not make such strong ap-
peal in the Eastern sections OF the
country.
Manufacturers say that the contin-
uation OF a demand for black close

new methods of treating skins within
the next year or so. Muskrats, from
which Hudson seal is made, are grow
ing scArcer and the OUTLOOK for re-
plenishing Of the supply is gloomy
In several of the states where musk
rats are caught, more stringent game
laws have been enacted for the preser-
vation of this animal. The high prices
lnuskrat skins have commanded for the
past year or more is said to have stim-
ulated trapping to such an extent that
comparatively few animals have been
left for breeding purposes in some
sections.

For Shirfinss Being Used

Manufacturers of silk shirts are
adopting many innovations in their ef-
forts to supply the ever growing de-
mand for their product. Decreased
production by the mills making shirt
ing fabrics, in the face Of the enormous
sales of shirts, has caused the manu-
facturers to substitute various cloths
for the regular materials that ordi-
narily 20 into silk shirts. SO insistent
has been the demand OF retail mer-
chants for merchandise ordered months
ago that washable satin, generally used
for underwear, is being used by The
manufacturers. Jobbers we're selling
that fabric yesterday for $l.S5 to 81
a yard.
pongee silks also reported extensive
sales to shirt makers. One of the
largest of these manufacturers placed
an order for 10000 yards of habuta
at prices ranging from $2.15 to $3.50
yard. Pongee was sold at from 95 cents
to $1.35 q yard. Most Of the orders
called for deliveries in February and
March.
Charmeuse, the demand for which
had slightly fallen off during the last
three wee6s, is again coming into pop
ularity. judging by sales made by job
bcrs. There were many retail buyers
in the market seeking this fabric for
spring delivery and paying an average
of SO yard for it. Black was the pre-
dominating color selection, with navy
blue and brown as second choice.
Garment manufacturers are appar-
emily of the opinion that taffeta prices
are scheduled for an advance. Several
of them placed extensive orders with
jobbers for the fabric, with the an
nouncement that while the goods were
not INN ediately reOuired thew were
willing to pay prevailing prices and
hold them for later manufacture. Price s
paid were from $3.50 to $225 yard
Navy blue and taupe were the favored
colors. Some jobbcrs predicted that
by January / taifeta, now selling for
$3.50, would be worth 1926 yard
Predictions mace by raw silk dealers
that the buying activity on Tuesday
was purely temporary were borne out
yesterday, when the market again lapsed
into its former passiveness All fac
tions are evidently reconciled to a
period of light sales which will con-
tinue, they believe, until labor diff
ficulties in the silk mills have been
settled.
! Mills, it was pointed ont, will not
buy raw material in the face Of reduce d
consumption, and purchases now would
simply mean that they would have to
store the silk until such time as they
were ready to use it.

with transactions of an ordinary period

the grave credit and reconstruction
problems which confront their peoples.
Europe fought for generations to
get and hold foreign trade. Her mer-
chants extended long credit to their
overseas customers, and If these had
not been on the average safe risks they
would not have been so keen fer the
trade as to invest in foreign lands the
vast suns of money they did in trans

big city in the country.
Cincinnati already is in the midst
Of big jewelry strike which has tied
up practically all the manufacturing
plants there. Meetings are being held
in nearly all the other large cities of
the country. At these meetings the
big subject is always the wage situa-
tion, manufacturers representatives
arguing that the workmen are being
paid too much and tho unions taking
the position that the cost Of living has
gone to such point that it is impos-
slble to get along on the present
wages.
The plan Of the New York union, ac-
cording to reports, is to call out the
workers in one factory at time and
thereby bring pressure to bear on the
manufacturers. The demand for a 39-
hour week has been advocated for some
time, but was not brought up for dis
cussion until the annual convention
Of the International Workers. Union,
held in Chicago recently. At that
time the representatives were urged
to establish a working week Of no
more than 80 hours, seven hours on
the first five days and four hours on
Saturday. The matter, according to
the manufacturers.
This threatened strike comes at
time when local jewelry manufacture
ers are months behind on their de-
liveries. These manufacturers confess
that they are very much puzzled at how
they are going to fill orders. The la
Dor situation was decidedly bad
throughout the first six months Of
1910, but manufacturers were just be-
If the strike is called the jewelry

of the holiday orders will have to be
left untouched.
