Reasons for the decline in the pro
duction Of camphor in Tainan. Japan.
during the last three years. according
to a consular report from Toxic, are
the shortage of labor, higher wages
paid in other industries, and the Decos-
sity of going further and further into
districts menaced by savages. in order
to get good trees. 1t IS said laborers
prefer to work in safe industries. since
the wages they receive are equal 20 or
even greater than the wages paid IN the
comparatively dangerous camphor in

A great deal Of wastage has taken
place in the industry in the past, be
cause the. companies which supplied the
monopoly bureau with raw material
used only the parts of the trees that
gave the largest yield. These camphor

The Japanese government is now en-
gagged in Investigations to show the eN-

cording to rough estimate, it is cx-

Trading in colors and dyes last week
showed some Improvement over the
comparative dulness of the last few
weeks. Dealers still complain of the
hand-to mouth buying consumers have
adopted in anticipation of large sup
plies coming from Germany at low
prices They also state that the legis
lation pending the action of Congress
has influenced purchases.
Cautious buyers do not want to com
NIT themselves to contracts until thev
are certain Of the probable extent Of
German competition in this country
when the Longworth bill is enacted.
Dealers state they are anxiously
awaiting the report of government in
vcstlgators on the amount of DIVES
stored in Germany. They state that
until this is made public and manu-
facturers sense its significance, they
cannot plan business far into the
future.

Following a period of heavy specu-
lation in the early part of the week
the chemical market reacted Wcdnes-

The absence of activity is believed by
traders to be breathing spell prior
to a renewal of speculation. Bichro-
mate of soda was the most active Of
the heavy chemicals. 1t rose from 12
to 10 cents pound in two days
Caustic soda continued scarce on
spot. 1t was said that large pro-
ducers are keeping their stocks off
the market in anticipation Of still
higher prices. The domestic demand
for caustic soda was good, with a num-
Der of inquiries coming from makers
of soap and lye and rcfners of min
eral and vegetable oils. Large guam
titles were exported to Japan and
South America. 1t was reported that
there has been a falling off in export
purchases of heavy chemicals because
of the unfavorablc rate of exchange.
This is especially true of shipments
to Europe
The potash group was more active
during the latter part of the week than
for some time back. Rapid price ad-
vances, due to scarcity Of goods on
the market, have caused manufact-
urers to increase their output, although
some are still selling at a loss. it was

Rubber

Business in crude rubber through
out the week was OF the small lot
variety. the trading being confined
most to interdealing among the
brokers. Orders from manufacturer RS
were light, buyers contend;ng that
prices still are too high. Holidays in
London on Saturday and Monday had
considerable effect in dcadening the
local market, and as result prices
were irregular. Later on slightly in
creased demands from the manufact-
urcrs caused the market to take on
firmcr aspect and prices showed
small advances. First latex at the close
of the week was quoted at AK cents
pound, smoked sheets at 40% cents
and brown crepe could be purchased
for 36 cents. Para rubbers held firm
and closed at 81 y cents pound for
fine and 81 Y cents for coarse.
Pneumatic tire dealers reported a
slight increase in business in the first
week in August over the latter part
of July. which is usually considered
the best month Of the year Export
orders for all kinds of rubber goods
are expanding, with South American
countries doing the most purchasing.
The market for reclaimed rubber con-
tinued dull and fcatureless through
out the week, with business generally
confined to routine orders and occa-
sonal replacements

Leather

Prices for leather continued to ad-
vance throughout the week. and the
prediction was heard on all sides that
still higher quotations would rule in the
not distant future. The report of the
Federal Trade Commission to Congress,
wherein it was charged that tanners,
manufacturers and dealers were taking
undue profits, was quietly received by
men in the industry. The investigation
extended over a number of years and
the conclusions seem irrefutable, but
dealers state that the report is one
sided and that when an unpre JUDGED
investigation comes it will be found
that there is comparatively little
profiteering going on
tanners, manufacturers and dealers
all state that there is a world famine
of leather, and that this, in connection
with the high wages being paid in the
industry. makes high prices inevitable.
They deny that they are receiving a
greater percentage of profits on their
turnover than formerly. Some dealers
state that the enormous profits shown
IN the reports of several leading com
panies is due to the fact that these
concerns purchased hides many months
ago at low prices and are now selling
them at great profits.
In this connection it was stated that
no profiteering is going on. These
concerns did not hoard their stocks
OF leather They could not dispense
with them because Of the dulness in
the market for four months after the
signing of the armistice. Manufact-
urers refused to purchase in anticpa-
tion of lower prices. When European
buyers came in to @purchase large
stocks domestic dealers scrambled to
get all the leather in sight The re-
suit was an abnormal demand, which.
considered along with an existing world
shortage of leather and greatly in
creased overhead, made prices high

enormous, demand for the gems, instead
of decreasing, has increased, and is ex-
ceeding the supply. The higher grades
of these stones, according to importers,
are bringing enormous prices.
A forty -four-hour week and 20 per
cent increase in wages were granted
last week to several hundred silver
smiths in the New York district The
granting of these concessions by man
ufacturers came after the men had
been on strike for two days. Under the
new arrangement it is provided that
employees must actually work eight
hours each day, with the exception of
Saturday, when they work four hours.
Manufacturers contend that the in
crease in wages and the shortening of
the working day, together with the
high price of silver, are bound to be re-
fected in the price of silverware.
Furs
Steady demands for all varieties of
skins on the part of manufacturing
furriers last week made deep inroads
upon the limited stocks of raw fur
dealers. The latter are hesitating to
replenish supplies now, preferring to
wait until the fall auction sales are

ALL EFFORTS FAILED TO VOTE
DOWN PROHI. AMENDMENT

Washington, July 17.-Prohibi-
tion forces voted down in the House
today every attempt to eliminate the
drastic provisions of the general en-
forcement bill, and while in full and
absolute control shut off debate at the
word of their leader despite the vio-
lent protest of the minority.
When they had raced through the
wartime enforcement portion of the
three-part bill and got into the con-
stitutional prohibition measure prop
er, there were only 6s members on
the floor and so much confusion that
a speaker could not make himself
heard. 1t was o'clock tonight
when the long roll call to obtain a
qffuorum was started and members
had then gone home, after declaring
there was no good reason for trying
to force through bill to take care of
q situation that would not arise until
sxsak @Ma ~~' :
Before the House got into snarl,
however, the prohibition faction had
fought off every attack on their bill.
An amendment to strike out the min
imum ne for those convicted of vio-
lating tht war time act-was fought
over and defeated, 6S to ST. This
was offered by Representative Reavis
Of Nebraska, Prohibition member OF
the Judiciary committee.
Chairman Volstead of the judiciary
committee and patron of the bill,
presented an amendment which was
adopted without debate and which
made the meuasure a bit more dras-
tic in that it added the word "manu-
facture'' to the many things a man
may not do with liquor in his Office
or home.
For a brief moment late in the day
the minority-described by the pro-
hibitionists as the "wets"-swung
into power, only to be thrown out by
a demand for tellers, which meant
an accurate count on a vote to amend
the bill so that a person charged with
violating a liquor selling injunction
might demand and obtain a jury
trial.
This motion, offered bwy Repre-
sentative Gard, Democrat, of Ohio,
and warmly supported by former
Speaker Clark, had provoked an
hours debate, which was bitter at
times, when the House put on the lid
The daily times., 1919-07-19

and started to vote. There was a
noisy shout from the ayes, who ap-
peared to have won. Instantly
there was a demand for division
and after members had been counted,
the result was announced, ayes 10,
nays Sc. i
The vxictoPy was not expected, ev-
en- by the vets, and they realized
they could not have won except for
the large number of absentees on
the other side. While the House was
marching through the center aisle to
be counted aftersthe demand for tell
ers had been made, distress calls
were sent out for prohibition men,
bers, who came piling in in sufficient
numbers to beat the jury trial
amendment by two votes, rs to 76.
After rounding up a quorum the
House took up the constitutional
prohibition enforcement bill set down
as part two of the measure, and de-
feated, II to 35, an amendment by
Representative Igoe, Democrat, Mis-
souri,, eliminating the definition of
;ntoxicants. This was precisely what
was done the other day to the war
time act and was in accord with ex-
pectations.
Although debate was limited to
five minutes for each member, it ran
