Textiles
Further Rise IN Cotton
Goods Prices; Mills
CurfaiL Sales

cotton textiles advanced in price
yesterday but buying was restricted
oy the policy adopted by many mills
OF not taking large additional orders
while the price of raw cotton remains
at the current high levels. Some of
the Jobbers seemed inclined to pro-
eeea long more conservative lines, an
attitude which the mills encouraged,
representatives of leading producers
OF colored cottons stated that they
would welcome respite in the buying
movement, and for that reason many of
them nave temporarily ceased selling
lhelr fabrics. While a number of the
agents Tor the bleached goods mills ac-
cepted business for near future deliv-
cry, others announced that they were
only taking orders "at value" which
Is tantamount to saying that their
goods have been withdrawn from the
market until the mills have determined
"hat new prices shall be quoted
when trading is resumed.
In the unbleached goods division of
the market trading between converters
was active at higher prices, these
tran sactlons representing profit taking.
Few of the mills entertained offers Of
orders for unbleached fabrics. The
print cloth, 64-60s sold at 151s cents
q yard, while 6s-72s brought 1S cents
d yard, which was an advance of half
a a cent IN each over the preceding day.
Inc cloth known as s0-S0s, used prin
clpally by manufacturers of shirts and
was quoted at 25 cents yard,
this being rise of two cents over
Mondays price and 71a cents over the
level OF month ago AS these goods
contain four yards to the pound of
cloth they command an even dollar on
a poundage basis.

Recommendations to cease immedi-

goods and to begin work in bulletjn
chandlse were contained in bulletin
sent to members of the United Waist
League of America yesterday. A reso-

meeting of the league.
The action came about after mncb
discussion. in which it was brouqb+ :
out that discontinuance of snr;no -
business now will give retailers . .
cnance to clean up present stocks, will
e"aole the manufacturers to fill back
orders now on the books without in

Congress May Repeal
10 Per Cent Tax ON Furs
New York Woman's Argument
Convinces Lawmakers Impo-
siiiOn Was Mistake
Neso York Tribune
WASHINGTON Bureau


Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, May 27.-Through
the arguments advanced in personal in
terviews by Mrs. Ethel Parker, of New
York, who is in the fur business, mem
bers of the Senate Finance Committee
and the House Ways and Means Com
mittee have been generally convinced
that thedmposition of a comprehensive
tax of 10 per cent on all kinds of fur
goods in the present revenue law was a
mistake. 1t is said that as result Of
her presentation of the subject this
provision of the law will be modified
If there is any altering of the law
beyond the repeal of the scmi-luxury
tax.
Furs were taxed on the theory they
were luxury, but according to Mrs.
Parker they are very largely nee
essaries.
why" says Mrs. Parker, "discour-
age and disheaten the people who earn
their daily bread by the sweat of their
brow IN the manufacture and sale of
furs and protect those who work
similarly in wearing apparel
'Why should wealthy lady be able
to buy silk dress or lace gown or lace
table covxer costing, say $1,000,
without being taxed, if the woman who
wants an inexpensive fur is taxed {?
Why should not the taxation on
5ewelry or automobiles, instead of only
per cent, be the same as the taxation
OF 10 per cent on inexpensive and other
furs ?"

Buying Of raw silks for delivery
during the month of July was of fair
volume yesterday, prices remaining
firm in the absence of advices from
Japan. The representative of a lead
ing japanese importing house stated
that Japan's spring crop Of cocoorAs,
now being delivered to the reelers, was
estimated to be IS per cent smaller
than that Of last year. 1t was ad-
mitted that the record high prices now
prevailing may induce the Japanese
farmers to increase their autumn crop

Blazing a trail which will be fol-
lowed in years to come by untold
thousands of American tourists, Hud-
son super Six completed ten-day trip
over the battlefields of northern
France and Belgium, according to
word received by Cal Messener, local
Hudson distributor.
1.-THE journey was remarkable mainly
by the excellent service rendered by
the car which was over three years
said Lieut.. Morrissey, who piloted the
Hudson.
Despite the unusually severe
strains and tests that naturally ensue
on touring through European battle
fields" he continued, ''the car seemed
in as good condition and was running
as sweetly when it finished the jour
ney as it did when new three years ago.
'Tn a Today leave period allotted to
members of the U. s. cruiser and trans
port force at the completion Of its
work in returnin gtroops, felt that
1 could make much better use Of my
time If I took my Hudson across. With
another car 1 might have feared to
do this because of the difficulty of
obtaining requirements in case Of
breakage. However, 1 had implicit
confidence in my Hudson.
1--WE started from Brest with six
passengers and an extra heavy load of
baggage. In addition it was necessary
to carry a reserve supply Of gasoline,
sixty gallons in all, owing to the scar
city of French gass. five gallons of oil
and four heavy tires.
THE run to Paris, 1856 miles, was
made without the slightest difficulty.
The following day we went to Amiens,
through the Somme battlefie1ds to
Lille, and in the six days following
visited Ypres, Ostend, Zeebrugge,
Client, Brussels, Liege, Louvain,
Cologne, Coblenz, Luxembourg, Treves,
Verdun and Rheims.
Then we went to Paris after COW
ering a total Of more than LOO miles.
Our only difficulty nthe trip, despite
the fact that the roads through Elan
ders and northern France have not
been repaired yet and numerous shell
holes make it hard going for car, was
due to water in the gasoline, a COM
mon trouble over there, and an I'M
usual number of punctures due to
shrapnel splinters.
when the age of our car and the
exacting demands made on it not only
during this trip but for the past three
years are considered, its present per-
Torrance appears to me to be mar
velous. To my mind it is wonderful
| tribute to the inherent quality of the

Here is conclusive proof of the pop
ularity of the Oldsmobile car and truck.
The illustration was not made of a
number of cars just serviced and ready
to be put on the sales floor, but it
depicts the sale value of this popular
car. They have each and every one
been sold and are just about to be de-
livered.
Cars are scarce, it is true. This
scarcity is due, however, to the de-
mand for the cars and not SO much to
the production.n l fact the Ferguson
Keller company reports that they are
receiving more cars now than ever be-
fore and they have managed to keep
apace with deliveries.
In the foreground of the illustration
is seen the Oldsmobile "6" coupe, one
of the smartest closed jobs thus far
seen in the city. This car was on dis
play at the recent automobile show.
After the gates of the show had been
open for a few minutes the car was
sold, being the first sale made at the
show. The people making the pur-
chase had only circled the various >ex-
hibits once, when they returned to the
Ferguson Keller booth with the simple
remark: We'll take it,"
