Large amounts are purchased daily
through the governments platinum dis
posal plan by dealers who have been
sorely in need of the metal Some plat
mum is also coming to this market
from South America and other sources.
though none is expected from England
and little from France Germany has
the trade puzzled. Consumers point
out that the Germans may have some
stock of the metal on hand, but will
need most of it until conditions in that
country resume a more normal aspect.
Manufacturers who at first expressed
disappointment on being allowed only
2 per cent iridium under the conditions
named by the Ordnance Department
now take more hopeful view of the
situation, as they expect other iridium
to come into the market from private
sources in amounts sufficient to pro-
duce the hard platinum necessary in
the jewelry trade.
1t is generally predicted that if man

difficulties and obtain the necessary
amount of diamonds they will, within
a short time, be able to turn out enough
platinum jewelry to satisfy the pub

Goods Scarce

All of the offerings of cotton goods
made yesterday by the mill agents
were quickly absorbed by the waiting
buyers. Not great deal of business
resulted, because supplies were linn
tied. The mills, most of which have
their outputs sold up to the first of the
new year, were not anxious to accept
large supplemental orders.
Some of the leading agents asserted
that they regretted having taken on as
much business as they have, inasmuch
as the labor involved is a commodity
concerning the future of which they
feel considerable uncertainty.
1t was stated that the War Depart
ment had disposed of considerable

Jewellers to Start Nation
Wide Publicity Camnaion

A 100000, three-year. nationwide
trade unit advertising campaign is
about to be launched under the super
vision of the National Jewellers Pub
licity Association. Although the Jew
elry industry is in the most prosperous
stage in its history, the association
thinks that by national campaign of
educational advertising the public can
be trained to a higher appreciation of
the value, beauty and desira biity of all
kinds of jewelry. Such a plan, it con-
tends, will mean increased sales for
jewellers and representatives. of Allied
trades in the nation.
The campaign will cover the entire
country and advertisements placed at
the rate of 100000 year, for three
years. In the opinion of the executives
of the jewelry association, high wages
and new wealth brought about by the
war have widened the jewery market
and opened new opportunities to the
trade, which was formerly largely sup
ported by the wealthy. In this period
of unprecedented wages, they point
out, the working people have become
great jewelry buyers and, as a result,
the industry is facing unlimited pos

Trade

Contradictory reports were made
yesterday regarding jobbirg trade in
dress silks. Some of the sellers
stated that business continued Of large
volume, while others declared that
their orders did not denote the degree
of activity to which the trade has be-
come accustomed. 1t was stated that
the rather prolonged wet weather had
reduced buying from the retail dealers
both locally and over a wide area of
the country. This, it was intimated,
had resulted in temporarily cooling
the buying propensities of a number
of merchants. Many out Of town deal
ers were in the market. but as they
met with stiff pricesfn all of the Job

shopping about for advantageous quo

instances were such requests complied

Needs of Germans Are
Many, Including Credit
Bankers of That Country Suggest Various Ways to
Finance Purchases of Goods, Says English Com
mercial Representative

4 NERMAN merchants expect the AL
~ lied nations to resume business re-
lations with them on the pre-war basis,
and even at prewar exchange rates,

commercial man, who is connected with

dertook to go into Germany on a COM

and is now in this country to arrange
for the handling Of Amercan-made
shoes by that concerns wholesale
houses in Antwerp and Brussels.
In the opinion of leading German
bankers, whom Mr.. Page interviewed
in Frankfort on Main, it will be neces-
sary for outsiders selling goods to
German merchants TO extend them
credit. One banker expressed the opin-
ion that his firm would be able to
make financing arrangements through
English banks for any orders that
might be taken from German firms of
high standing. He also suggested that
it would be wise for English merchants
to offer to sell goods to Germans for
marks at near their prewar values, and
hold such moneys for a rise in the
rate of exchange, or that good bust
ness might be done by banking in Ger

under present circumstances or the ac-
cepting of German marks at near pre-
war value, manifestly is not desirable
to American or British shippers, ac-
cording to Mr.. Page, and it is his
private opinion that the last sugges-
ton of the German banker may be the
channel through which trade will be
opened up.

COlOrs
Exports OF Dyestufs to
France Not Expected
on Lurge Scale

Announcement that France had lifted
the embargo on the importation of coal
tar intermediates and dyestuffs was
not looked upon as very hopeful news
by dyestutfs manufacturers and ex-
porters here. They asserted that in all
probability France would not come
into the American market for dyes to
any great extent. What dyes she i'm
ported, they contended. would go
from Switzerland rather than America.
One dealer was of the opinion that for
some time to come France would not
import dyes to any great extent, since
the greater part of her textile mills
were destroyed during the war.
Tee demand from the Orient and
South America for fast colors con
tinued strong. The market seems to
be expanding and greater variety Of
dyes is in demand, dealers said. Or
ders for malachite green and direct
green were reported. Orders were also
received for acid black and direct
black, supplies of the latter being
scarce and apparently insufficient.

Furs
Scarcity Places Furs of
All Varieties on FASH
iOn0bIe List

Manufacturing furriers, instead of
concentrating their demands upon a
few furs, now take all varieties of
skins.
There really is no market leader
now,' said d prominent dealer yester-
day. "The general scarcity of furs
has brought even some of the skins
which were neglected in the past sea-
sons to the fore. All furs are fashion,
able now, and it is a question of get
ting any fur at all rather than a par
ticular variety"
Within a few weeks manufacturers
will be showing Russian ponyskin
coats, which have been off the market t
for several years. A shipment Of
ponyskins recently reached local
dealer and was quickly taken up by
the manufacturing furriers. Other i'm
porters are making strenuous efforts
to obtain SUPPLIES. of these skins from
Russia, in the belief that the rela-
lively low price and good wearing
qualities will make ponyskn garments
look attractive, in comparison with the
high prices of the general run of fur
coats.

Fur Prices Still Rising
Skunk Skins Bring as High as
So Each

Fur prices continue to advance un-
der the strong demand for all varieties
of skins on the part Of manufacturing
furriers. Raw skin dealers yesterday
reported that skunk was in active de-
mand, with first class skins bringing
from $8 upward each. Beaver is an
other fur which is being we'll taken
now because of it's widespread use as
trimming on cloth and fur coats.
Good beaver skins bring $35 apiece
and more. Australian opossum, also
used for trimming on Che best grades
of cloaks and suits, is in brisk de-
mand.
In fox furs the demand seems to
have switched from the small to the
heavier skins, and dealers who have
supplies of the latter on hand are
making large sales, it is said. While
marten and Russian sable, used main
ly IN the one, two or three skin small
scarves, are not SO active now, stone
marten is said to be in brisk demand.

WOollen Goods Price Erratic

Woollen goods buyers are complain
ing more than ever over insta bllity
of prices and uncertainties of de-
liveries. Offerings of goods are few
and prices quoted by sellers, either
mills or jobbers, vary as much as 60
cents a yard for similar qualities of
materials. A case is reported where
certain quality of serge was offered
at $3.50 yard, while better quality
could be bought from other sources at
$210. Clothing manufacturers and
others in immediate need of heavy
weight goods are combing the markets
and placing orders wherever they can.
Small mills are asking advances over
contract prices for goods not yet de-
livered to their customers. A leading
garment manufacturer yesterday
agreed to pay S5 yard for 100 pieces
of women's cloak cloth, for which the
mill had accepted his order at S4.25 a
yard couple of months ago. Similar
cases are reported all over the market.
In most cases the buyers pay the ad-
vance in order to get the goods, as
most of them have sold garments
against the expected delivery of the
CLOTH
