Cutting Down Deliveries
Woollcn Goods Sellers Unable
to Fill Fall Orders

Sellers Of woollen goods said yes
terday that 1t will take two or three
weeks more to cut down and adjust
orders for fall merchandise on their
books so that they will know where
they stand. Almost every mill agent is
sending out revised orders with ex-
plantations as to the reasons for cut
ting down some orders and eliminating
others. Most of the mills attribute
their inability to deliver all the
goods their customers ordered to labor
troubles. The following extract from
a letter which a mill agent now is
sending his customers is typical of
manys
I'VE have just been informed that
labor troubles, SO prevalent in the tex
title industry, now have affected our
mills, and, as result Of these unset
tied conditions, and also because of
lack Of sufficient labor, it will be i'm
possible to secure the anticipated pro-
duction.
"Accordingly, in order to put through
timely deliveries of the more important
ranges, the mill has found it necessary
to eliminate number of styles which
cannot possibly be made. and they
also have requested us to revise the
quantity on the ranges that will be
made"

Business Money

No great change was apparent in
tho commercial paper market from
late last week Rrohers quote the
prevailing rate at ga per cent. and a
range Of rates from 60 6ts per cont.
The New York hanka are quite linz
tied buyers; the brokers find their
largest market out Of town. A sort of
deadlock exists with the New York
banks. One broker, for instance. has
all his names at 514 per cent. He will
not deal in names which require So
Some New York banks, on the other
hand, refuse to lend for less than 51a
per cent, and insist on good names at
that figure. The result with several
brokers is either that the banks buy
from them names that are not prime,
or do not buy at all. Brokers sell a
negligible quantity of notes at per
cent, and that is out of Chicago, st.
Louis or similar markets.
Those dealers who looked for the ap-
pearance of the initial instalment of

they have the advantage of lower rates

No Let Up Reported in the

Shoes

Retail shoe dealers report q record
business so fur this month, with no in

Normally there is decline in selling
immediately after Easter, but on top
of the heavy trade during the holiday
week this year the dealers are still dis
posing of large quantities of footwear.
Operators of chain shoe stores who
have already purchased their fall stocks
declare that the consumers will have TO
pay more for shoes next season than
they did when they bought their spring
and summer styles. Last week one large
Rochester manufacturer announced an
increase of 25 cents pair on his fall
lines. This advance came as the result
of an increase in the cost of calfskin
to the manufacturer, due, it is said. to
the fact that users of calfskin in this
country are now compelled to meet the
prices foreign purchasers are willing to
nav.
