Transactions Continue Actively

Transactions in merchandise. con
troiled by speculative interest, which
became unexpectedly active on Friday,
continued brisk yesterday in the cot
ton goods market and were character
'zed by another general advance in
prices, Owners of goods of that cab
lbre did not, rs q whole, consider offers
that were less than 8 per cent higher
than Fridays prices. as in the case of
coarse gray goods, which were sold for
16ra cents, as compared with 16 cents
yard for the preceding days figure.
Mill agents welcomed this increased
buying of goods from spectators, as
it will, if continued, rid the market of
an element conducive to constant
price fuctuation and dissatisfaction.
The agents believe that once the spec
u ators have sold out their holdings
they will withdraw from the market
until more settled condition occurs.
There is belief, on the other hand,
that some of the spectators have been
buying merchandise the last two days,
anticipating higher scale of prices
than has previously obtained. That
ceiling is in the minority, however, as
1t Is agreed in most quarters that all
merchandise of such character is being
purchased for immediate consumption.
Jobbers reported decline in the vol
ume Of sales, with buyers showing q
tendency to bubble over prices. Quo
tations are remaining firm, however.

LEATHER-Prices Firm.
Though Buying Is Light

Despite the unsettled condition of
the hide and skin market, due to
the absence OF buying, prices asked
by big dealers remain firm. In some
quarters tendency to shade prices
WAS evident. but this condition was not
general The slack in buying during
the last week is attributed to the in
vestigations into protiteering, which
are now taking place at Boston. Tan
ners have adopted waiting attitude
until the hearings are concluded Deal
ers in hides and skins are optimistic
about the future. Prices cannot drop,
they state, since the quantity of skins
available is comparatively small when
matched with the demands coming
from the tanneries prior to the Boston
investigation. 1t is known, dealers de-
clared, that the tanneries have not
sufficient amount of skins on hand to
delay purchases for considerable
time, and buying on a lively scale is
expected soon.
No large quantities of skins and
hides have arrived from South Amer
lea this week. and the supply on the
market is still low. Horsehides were
quoted yesterday at $40 each. Calf
skins, to T pounds, were quoted at
50; Z to pounds, $40; 8 to ~ pounds,
$ll. City packer hides ranged from
46 II to So cents pound. The demand
was dull and buyers were timid about
making purchases.

One of the large specially firms is

similar fabrics and marked at an aver
age price of $50 are likewise finding
ready sales. The tinselled brocade was
offered yesterday at prices ranging
from $3.50 to $3.50 yard. This fabric
was being sold for spring delivery.

goods continued to be widely diversi-
fed There is belief in some quar-
tiers that quotations will shortly be

To Giue Ne,u York Worlds Finest Hote!

d. M. Linnard is to give New York
hotel that will be the finest in the
world, in his opinion. 1t was his in
structions when he decided some time
ago to enter the New York field that
the hotel he would ask New Workers to
patronize WOULD not only have all feat
ures which have made his hotels on the
Pacific Coast known from one end of
the country to the other, but that the
building and service must be in every
respect superior to the worlds best.
Realization Of his aims will cost S10,-
work on the part of builders, furniture
makers and others. The site Of the
hotel, the block front on the east side
of Park Avenue from Fifty-first to
Fifty-second Street, was purchased
several months ago. Last week arrange
mcnts were completed by w. S. Straus
& Co. for S6,500,000 amortizlng mort
gage, and contracts were given the
THOMPSON Starrett Company for the
erection of the building.
The Linnard will be eighteen stories
high, of white stone from street level
to the topmost cornices of the build
ing. Warren & Wetmore, designers
of the Grand Central Station and the
Office buildings and hotels in the Ter
minal zone, after study of the condi-
tions peculiar to the location, have de-
cided on FACADE in the French Renais-
sance style.
There will be set-backs at the thir.
tccnth, sixteenth, seventeenth and
eighteenth floors.
Building operations will be started
soon, and IN the fall of 1920 it is ex-
pected that the structure will be COM
pleted.
The hotel will contain 500 rooms, ar
ranged in suites in various sizes Each
suite will contain separate foyer and
omen freplaces. All of the furnish
ings are being especially designed.

MISUNDERSTANDING of
But Potash Fails to Come

Although the embargo on the i'm
portation of German potash has been
off for some time now, no shipments
have arrived as yet in this country.
The effect of lifting the embargo has
been felt on the local market, however.
Buying has been confined to small lot
purchases, just sufficient to meet i'm
mediate requirements. Prices remain
firm, despite the inactivity of the mar
ket, because spot stocks of potash
salts are known to be low, and conse-
quently the fear of German competi-
'tlon has not as yet forced liquidation.
knowledge that the dyestuffs makers
are In need of potash salts has also
tended to hold up prices.
1t is reported that the United States
Potash Producers Association has
filed protest with the War Trade
Board against the lifting Of the en-
oargo and the setting aside of the high
tarlt provisions. Manufacturers of pot
ash IN this country state that they have
been selling their product at a loss ap-
preaching S1,0OO,O0O rather than have
German potash imported without H.
cenSe.
Inc decision Of the War Trade Board
IN lifting the import embargo on pot
ASH was made at the behest of Presi-
dent Wilson, after he. had been petit
toned by the National Board of Farm
organizations and the National Grange,
societies Of organized farmers. The
farmers said that food price conditions
could be amelicrated were they able to
purchase potash salts and fertilizer at
lower prices.
1t is understood that a large inf1u
ence in causing the lifting Of the en-
barge is the fact that the main potash
fields of Alsace are now in the hands
of the French. These fields can be made
to produce 100000 tons of potash
annually, and at a comparatively low
cost of production.

The News of Business

needed shades. The demand in this
country for these colors is urgent, and
the opinion is that their importation
should not be curtailed simply to pro-
tect the American dyestuffs business,
since many of the colors which will
be subject to license have not as yet
been manufactured in this country in
commercial quantities. The laboratory
processes are so involved that the ma
chlnery for large scale production has
not yet been created
Attention is called to the option
which the United States holds on 80
per cent Of the German dysstuffs, many
shades of which cannot be manufactured
in America. These colors will proba-
bly, be brought in after the signing Of
the peace treaty.

Great Success of Cooperative
Plan Inducement to Corpora
ton to Build Some More

The Greensboro Corporations plan
of cooperative ownership of garden
apartments at Jackson Heights, in the
Borough Of Queens, has been so sue
cessful that another group Of houses
will be erected in which limited
number of families, who might other
wise be homeless, will find pleasing
accommodations in the late fall.
The plan is something like this:
owe will put up the finest modern,
four story, detached and semi-detached
apartment houses that can be found in
greater New York. We will sell to you
an apartment in Ole of these houses,
four, five and six rooms and bath, and
YOU can pay for it either in cash or
with small cash payment, and the
balance in rent over period OF SIX
years. We will continue to manage the
property for you and the cooperative
owners, so that you may enjoy the
security of home ownership without
the cares that go with it,
The plan resulted in one of the most
successful apartment selling campaigns
ever conducted. More than 1000 peo-,
pie responded to the offering, and the
Houses were sold out as quickly as
arrangements could be made.
This success has caused the Queens
boro Corporation to build another SIM
liar group of houses in Twenty-scvent
Street, near the Twenty-ffth Street
station of the Corona extension Of the
dual transit system. Many inquiries
have been received from prospective
purchasers for accommodation in the
projected houses.

Formation of plans for a gigantic
convention Of all dress manufacturers
in the United States expected to be
held in Atlantic City in the fall, will be
begun tomorrow with the return of
David N. Mosessohn, executive director
of the Associated Dress Industries of
America. from a tour Of other dress
manufacturing centres of the country.
A shortage of American catalogues
in foreign markets is causing the loss
of much trade, according to the weekly
bulletin Of the American Manufacture
ers' Export Association. American con-
suls, says the bulletin, are cabling the
association for booklets and prices con-
corning dress goods, garments, fabrics,
shoes, silks, rugs, leather goods, dyes
and haberdashers' supplies. Direct re-
quests for catalogues have been made
by the consuls in Fiume, Nairobi, Brit
ish East Africa, and Mexico City.
