America Now Worlds
Leading Zine Marke,

America. as result Of the war. has
assumed a position Of leadership in
establishing world zinc prices. accord

the Consolidated Interstate Callahan
Mining Company. With the increased
Inquiries for copper products from
abroad and for home consumption
Mr.. Percival believes that the prize
tendency for months to come will be
upward rather than downward.
Zinc he said yesterday. "is now
selling at & cents pound. an increase
of l's cents during the past month. and
because of the increasing demand |
look for another advance in the near
future. The present demand is grea.-
est from brass manufacturers and
makers OF galvanized steel.
The American market in zinc is
recognized as the principal market OF
the world since the war. this position
having been wrested from London.

February means half million dollars

Last year we spent substantial sums
on our mills. which are still under

paratory to the great period of pros
porty which believe is ahead of us.
We expect to resume operations in

Orders for Women's
Fall Garments Are
Pilil'g Up Rapidly
Man, Buyers, Fearing Slow
Deliveries. Adopt Policy
of Making Large Initial
Purchases

BUving Of fall apparel for women by
retailers from all parts of the country
continued with undiminishcd activity
yesterday, despite the inclcment
weather. In former years rainy day
in the midst of the buying season
would have been the signal for many
buyers to desert the apparel manu-
facturcrs' showrooms and the wet
walking trips between to seek dry
comfort at the theatres or movie
houses. The present peculiar market
conditions appear to make the buyers
feel that their presence in the show
rooms is necessary al all times
The so-called sharpshoot ters'- buy
ers vho try TO purchase only one or
two striking styles from a line have
made their appearance, but they have
received frosty receptions from the
manufacturers. Many of the latter
have refused pointblank to sell Gus
toners who concentrate their orders
only on the "pums" In most cases
the buyer must take fairly varied
selection from each manufacturers line
or go without merchandise.
Manufacturer OverscQs
Many manufacturers. particularly in
the cloak and suit trade say that or
ders are being placed with such rapid
ity that it is impossible to check them
in time to save overselling on certain
fabrics. The head of one concern re-
ported that his statesmen had sold 25O
coats more of certain fabric than he
could produce with the material he has
i ~,,.1 ~. ~
"l'll have to go out in the open mar
ket and pay probably a dollar yard
more for enough cloth to supply the
retailers who ordered those coats. 1t
is a question then whether or not |
can find the material. If / can't,
shall simply cut down the orders and
try to distribute the available amount
Of fabric among as many customers as
possible"
Buyers who have been in the market
for several days are showing great con-
sideration for the manufacturers diff
cutes, the latter say. In every show
buyers have become convinced that
production has been slowed up and dc
layed because of the poor deliveries of
fabrics and the shortage and high
prices of labor.
Buyers Revise Plans
Few of the direct manufacturers are
able to promise deliveries in less than
six weeks, and many of them are ask
ing for eight weeks in which to turn
out the merchandise ordered. Several
of them believe that as the season
progresses and the. shortage of labor
and fabrics becomes more acute, at
least ten weeks will be required be-
tween the placing of an order and the
delivery of the garments.
Buyers are revising their plans to
fit in with the slow delivery conditions
Representatives of many of the larger
concerns are of the opinion that trips
to the market every ten days or two
weeks throughout the season will be
useless this year. They argue that
style changes will not be as rapid this
year because of the slowed down rate
Of production, and hence they can place
larger orders further in advance and
feel safe that the style will not drop
out of fashion before they can dis
pose of the merchandise to their Gus
toners.

in Cotton Goods

Demand for cotton goods yesterday
oustripped the supplies that were Of
fered by the mills. Leading Eastern
manufacturers of ginghams stated that
they could not. supply goods in any
thing like the quantities desired by ex-
porters, cutters, manufacturers, job
bers and retailers. Even mixed lots of
odds and ends were quickly absorbed
at advanced prices. Owing to the scant
supplies of colored fabrics, some of the
small jobbers have deemed it expedient
to sell goods to other jobbers at prices
considerably above the original cost.
One of the leading sellers of popu-
lar bleached goods advanced prices 2 to
3 cents a yard, according to the fine
ness of the fabric 1t was intimated
that higher prices will be demanded for
wide bleached sheetings toward the
close of this week. Trade in unbleached
fabrics tapered off little, and limited
quantities of these cloths were sold by
converters at prices slightly below
those demanded by the mills. All of
the offerings by second hands were
quickly absorbed by converters, who, it
was asserted, bought the goods to
change them into the highly finished
forms. The prices quoted by the mills
remained firm at the levels reached on

Fur Trade Looks for
Rush OF Buyers

Steady buying of fall and winter furs
by the retailers is reported by the manu-
featuring furriers. Orders sent in bv
the road statesmen are being supple
mented by orders placed by buyers who
are coming to the market in constantly
increasing numbers now. The trade ex-
poets the greatest number of buyers to
come to New York during the next three
or four weeks. Several of the leading
manufacturers have withdrawn their
road statesmen in order to take care of
the buyers who are coming to New York.
All lines of furs are selling we'll now
and it is difficult to pick market
leader, say the manufacturers. Orders
for Hudson seal coats continue strong
and the prices advance almost daily.

Trade Notes

Sixteen dress manufacturers and
three fabric mills were elected to
membership in the Associated. Dress
Industries of America this week, ac-
cording to a statement made by David

terday. Fourteen of the dress manu-
facturers are located in New York,
one in Gloucester, Mass. and one in
Philadelphia. The rapid growth of
the organization, which was founded
only six months ago, has necessitated
the appointment Of two new district
vicepres dents. Louis Stecher will
act for the Philadelphia district and
Harry Fl. Reyman, of the North Shore
Dress Company. Gloucester, Mass, for
the New England district. District
vice-pres dents already had been ap-

come and that deliveries have been
delayed by the inability to get the
fine count yarns necessary to make
these fabrics. Mills that spin their
own yarns cannot obtain the fine grade

Silk Goods in Large

Jobbing trade in silks yesterday was
of large volume. Western buyers placed
liberal orders and local garment cutters
secured the market for goods. Resident
buyers for out of town concerns COM
planned that they were being compelled
to do considerable shopping in order
principals. Besides they found that it
was difficult to get orders accepted on
the basis of the prices contained in their
customers letters Of instruction. Some
of the large jobbers stated that they
were not soliciting business from new
buyers because they had all they could
do to attend to their steady customers,

Manufacturer Points Out, Tends TO Lessen

-FOUR reasons why break in silk

OF j. A. Nigel, Inc. They are:
Il; Japan. one of the great sources of
supply of the raw material, is fast becom-
ing large factor in silk manufacturing.
particularly for South American trad ;,
!apans output is vastly greater than ever
before: 1t is continually growing, and
thus that country becomes a great user of
raw silk.
''2. As result of the war and internal
economic conditions. Italy's production of
raw silk at the present moment is very
low. and it will be some time before the
Italian supply reaches anywhere near
normal.

dustry. This will mean a period of read
justment which will have very decided
bearing on conditions in the silk business
a. The almost universal camor for
things we denied ourselves during the
period of the war in turn brings about
depletion of the retail stocks"
Consumption of silk on large scale
by the electrical industry is anothe
factor which Mr.. Boyce believes will
have to be rcckoned with in the silk
industry.
Not only will there be a tremendous
increase of electrical machinery and
appliances in this country" he says,
"but in all the countries throughou out
the world there will be great devel-
opmcnt electrically. Canada is plan
trically, and in the wake Of Canada will
follow greater development throughout
England and all here colonics-in fact,
all over the civilized world"

continuance Of a firm market for call
ing the New York banks out of the
commercial paper market, it is said.
Call rates have been as high as 12
per cent this week, and not once be-
low 6.
Predictions of an easing of rates on
commercial money were made last
month, and again at the beginning of
this month, but as matters now stand
the prospect of an early improvement
is not so favorable. Prime paper con-
tinues to move at 5A per cent.
