" atch Crystal Shipments
From Lorraine Factories
To Reiiepe SHORTAGE

Several thousand gross of watch
crystals are expected to reach this
country from factories in Alsace-Lor-
ralne within the next week or so. This
is the first consignment of CRYSTALS to
be forwarded from the former German
territory to American concerns since
the British embargo against the expor-
tation of goods from enemy countries
was established in 1915. From now on,
importers declare, watch glasses will
be shipped regularly from France, re-
hevlng the shortage which has existed
in this country
Before the war watch manufacturers
in this country depended almost ex-
cfuslvely upon the glass makers Of Lor-
ralne, France and Switzerland for crys-
tails. With the exception of scant ship
ments from Switzerland supplies were
practically cut off from abroad. One
large clock manufacturer in this coun-
try relieved the situation to a certain
extent by going into the production Of
glass.
Japan has been shipping large guam
titles of crystals to this country. but
Iobbers complain that the Japanese
have flooded rnis market with inferior
glasses.
During the war the cost of watch
glasses was from 40 to so per cent
higher than in 1914, but within the last
SIX months prices have been reduced
from lO to 20 per cent, according to one
importer

Serges Become Scarce

Even low priced and poor quality
serges are selling we'll now. This is a
reaction to the movement of a month
ago which swept the market almost
bare of fine twill serges. At that time
the makers of women's light weight
capes. which are in fashion now, not
only besieged the sellers of woollen
goods for fine twill serges but also
bought many pieces of this class of
merchandise from manufacturers of
mems clothing, who had it on hand.
AS a result Of this movement a strong
demand on the part of the mems wear
manufacturers for serees of any kind
has developed, and within the last few
days serges selling from $3.50 to 50,
which q few weeks ago were con-
sidered more or less of drug on the
market, have moved out rapidly.
A low priced serge, it is said, looks
far better than low priced fancy
worsted cloth, and those clothing
manufacturers who are given to max
ing garments to sell to the popular
priced trade have turned to serges as
offering the best bargain for their
money in the present market.

English Made Dyestufs
offered in Quantities
for Early Shipnaent

English dye manufacturers are be-
ginning to offer their product in
quantities to dealers in this country
Restrictions against the importation
Of foreign dyes into England went into
effect last week. One dealer yesterday
received offers of the following dye
stutfs for early shipment: Rhoda-
mine-6-G, to sell in the United States
at between S1S and S19 pound; Rho
damine-B, extra concentrated, to sell
between S55 and $50 a pound, both of
these color.ng materials being used
largely for dyeing silks and woollens;
Victoria blue-B, methyl violet, Alza-
rine paste, red dye, Rocceline, Chry-
sophenine and sulphur indigo.
Domestic demand for anilinc dyes
improved slightly. There were few
fairly good orders for direct and acid
blacks and for chrysoidines and nigro-
sines, the two latter bclns used princi-
pally by the leather industry.
Intermediates, such as benzol and
tolul, are showing increased strength,
while paranitranilinc beta naphthol
and dinitrobenzol were somewhat
weaker. These are general intermedi-
ates, the first two named being espcci-
ally used in the production of acid
reds and in developing colors on cot
ton fibre.

Ruling ON Fur Tax

Headquarters for the National Com

organized for the purpose Of conduct
ing campaign for the repeal Of the
tax on manufactured furs, was estab-

Edward Fillmore, counsel to the COM
mlttee, is in charge of the Offices.
Mr.. Fillmore, who returned from
Washington yesterday after an effort
to obtain definite rulings upon the
method of collecting the fur tax and
oiilclal determinations concerning some
OF the questions which have puzzled
the trade, said that the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue could give him little
information at present. Many of the
points which have arisen in discussion
OF the tax among the members of the
trade have not been officially decided
upon as yet, he said

Money Being Spent for
Road Building Machinery

Road building machinery, especially
concrete mixers, is in good demand
notably in the Eastern states. Large
sums appropriated for construction Of
roads are now being expended in New
Jersey, Pennsylvania and New York
Connecticut is expected to start i'm
provements on its highways in the next

The largest appropriation has been
made by the State of .Peennsylyyania,
which proposes to spend S60,000,00 for
good roads, while Illinois ranks second
with an appropriation Of $4,000, 900.
These sums are exclusive Of the fnan-
cial aid given by the Federal govern
ment for road construction in those
states.
Municipal work, such as street paw

Commercial Value of
Artificial Rubber Small
Taking Nitrates From Air a
More Important German
Achievement
Business Netcs Ba,rcdu
Special COrrespoudencs


LONDON, April 5.-The Hun chem
lists persevered with their artificial
rubber making during the war and sup
piled their army with considerable
amount Of it. 1t was inferior rubber
and far from sufficient in quantity but
1T could be vulcanized and served for
tires. The process is slow-coagula-
tion takes about eight months-and the
chance of the product competing sue
cessfully with natural rubber seems re-
mote.
OF far more commercial Importance
is the process the Baden and Aniline
Company perfected for making nitrates
from the atmosphere by a pressure
process and without the use of the ex-
pensive electric arc. Germany will in
nitrates. She solved the problem
about year before the war, the sci
enlist responsible being Haber, a
famous chemist who is reputed to be
the deviser or poison gas. Chemists
say that this new nitrate supply finally
decided Germany to make war when
she did. Characteristicallv, she first
sold all the rights in the older and
more expensive processes for fixing
nitrogen from the air, and many of the
shares were unloaded in Paris
British chemists also know now for
certain that the hope of crippling Ger
many by blockading her cotton sup
plies was illusory. From very early
days in the war she realized on wood
celloyloise as a basis for her explo-
sives. From wood pulp the German
factories made the finest possible It's
sue paper, and by nitrating this was
converted into an explosive.
In explosives generally and in the
making of acetone and INT British
processes and results are years ahead
of those Germany was using whom war
ended.

support this loan literally is because it
has just completed the most prosperous
spring season the cloak and suit indus
try has known in several years. Bust
ness has been exceptionally good, and
the coat and suit manufacturer who
has not made money during the past
few months is hard to find. Poor bust
ness will not be offered this year as u
reason for small subscriptions.
I'VE have a veteran corps Of work
ers lined up for the three weeks drive
and they are conducting the campaign
in the same manner that brought US
success in the previous loans In the
fourth loan we were saddled with a
quota Of s960O,000, an amount which
seemed almost impossible of realization
when we began, but when the books
were finally closed at the end Of the
drive we had written $11,100,00O worth
of subscriptions.
"Cloak and suit men of this city
need not be told of their patriotic duty
in this loan. They proved their patriot
ism in the other loans and in countless
ways outside of the lending of their
money to the government. We are
confident of going over the top with
