right direction. If we ever hope to be
anything or have anything, now is the
time to make start. Some will say

have not money enough to launch a
business of your own, you can do just
as much for the race by patronizing
those who do engage in business. Race
pride is the one essential and if you
have that, and prove it by throwing
your support to worthy business en-
terprises conducted by members of the
Race, you are valuable asset to the

time a voice was heard singing: "The

became frightened and started to
leave home, when the door was sud-
denly pushed open and the Comfort

comforts with them. The comforts
consisted of rice, sugar coffee, ap.

things. The storm did not cease uD-

Japan, China and South
american Countries Are
Are Buying Gems

Jewelry manufacturers continue to
find it difficult to secure adequate sup
plies of semi-precious stones. The
enorm Gus demand for the gems, they
say, instead of abating has increased
and is exceeding the supply.
American importers who recently re-
turned from the Austrian and Bohem-
ian markets report that representa-
tives of countries who never before
visited the gen fields are purchasing
large stocks. Japan, China, South
America and many other countries,
which formerly purchased only small
supplies, are placing, heavy orders.
Japan, in particular, has entered the
field on larger scale.
The prices of the higher grade of
semi-precious stones, occording to
these importers, are bringing from
500 to 1000 more than ever before.
Even at these enormous prices, the
foreign dealers are not having any
trouble in dsposing of their wares,
and demand spot cash for all stones

Shortage of Vat Dyes

American Products Are Not
Fast Color, Manufacturers
Asaorf

insufficient quantities Of vat dyes in
this country and the 400 per cent ad-
vance in the cost of vat dyeing is pre-
cipitating crisis in the shirt manufac-
turing industry here, according to the
National Association of Shirt Manu-
facturers, who have brought the situa-
tion to the attention Of the govern
ment.
American-made dyes, according to
the manufacturers, are not fast color
and are injuring the sale Of high priced
cotton shirts both in the domestic and
foreign fields. A particular shortage
is felt at present in the violet shades
and other supplies of German vat dyes
imported into this country before the
war or sent here on the merchants sub
marine Deutschland have almost dis
appered despite careful nursing by the
dyers, it is said.
The situation revolves on the point
that American dye interests have not
been able to perfect the vat process in
dyeing and have not supplied the trade
with fast colors, say the shirt men.
They suggest that importation of vat
dyes from Germany, either with or
without licenses, be permitted, or meth
DDS of producing dyes in this country
that will launder as we'll as the old vat
dyes be perfected.

Japanese Sugar Industry

According to Yokohama publica-
tlon, sugar manufacturing companies
IN Formosa and Japan during the fiscal
July, 1913, toseJune. 1919, expect to
obtain larger profits than in the pre-
ceding fiscal year. The output by
sugar companies in Formosa during
the preceding fiscal year did not ex-
coed 100000 piculs 1 picul equals
l33 l-3 pounds), the figures showing a
diminution of 100000 piculs over the
estimates for the period. This fact,
coupled with the steady advance in
the price of fertinizers, freight rates
and the expenditure of the companies,
has had a bad effect upon business
10 make the situation worse, the Price
of Java sugar WAS lower than that of
Japanese sugar. Since the latter part
of last year the price OF Java sugar
has shown an upward tendency. The
result of this has been that the price
of Japanese sugar has also risen, and
is now ruling at $3.50 yen ($lO20)
per picul 1873 1-3 pounds), the figures
showing a rise of 4 yen (S199), as
compared with the average price of
last year. The output by sugar COM
panes in Formosa for the present fiscal
year is estimated at 4,20O,oO0 picus,
Of which 100000 piculs will be
shipped abroad. The net profits of the
ten leading Japanese sugar companies
during the last fiscal year are reported

Silks
Heauy Silks Are in Good
Demand for Fall
DeIiUery

The outstanding feature of an
otherwise inactive day in the silk mar
ket yesterday was the demand for
heavy silk. Buyers were asking for
fall deliveries on the fabric, which is
to be printed and used for lining IN
dolman coats and for shirting.
Manufacturers still complain Of
their inability to fill orders. In many
Instances they are concentrating solely
on fall business, on the deliveries OF
which they are far behind, They ex-
plain that, inasmuch as spring sales are
more or less automatic, the demand
being an assured one, they have to
give their entire attention to satisfy
ing the wants Of the retail trade for
fall. The weekly decrease Of ten hours
working time in the mills has so
greatly decreased yardage that only
immediate and pressing requests for
fabrics can be attended to. A few manu-
tacturers, however, are taking orders
for spring delivery of shirting and
skirting.
The demand for all classes of silk
goods has not dropped, one jobber re-
porting yesterday that the buyers dur
ing last month were almost double in
number those of any previous July.

Sheffield Steel Trade Outlook

From Sheffield, England, it is reported
that activity would prevail in the steel
trade if the output capacity were no
larger than in the pre-war days. Owing,
however. to the possibilities of output
having been doubled, the erection of
twelve new fifty-ton Siemens furnaces
has been suspended. Many Of that size
already existing are stated to be idle
in consequence of the limited demand
for crucibe steel. The main causes are
said to be two in number: G)The fact
that at the close of hostilities the gov
ernment possessed an enormous guam
titv OF high speed steel and tools-as
well as alloys, such as tungsten-and
these are now being released and 90
America, France, Italy, some OF the
colonies, and India arc now, in yhe
main, supplying their own needs. II is
asserted that steel makers can sell
plenty of their production at present
in the home market; but manufacturers
with export business realize that, in
order to compete with The output Of
other countries. they must be able to
obtain as cheap steel as competitors
do. In this connection, it is reported,
that they are buying cheap grades of
American steel, which may soon be
supplemented by bllets from Lorraine.

Leather
Dealers Find Great Dif-
fcuity in Obtaining
Supplies

Shortage of leather is now beginning
to be felt in the domestic market.
While it has been generally known that
leather stocks were low, last week was
the first time that dealers experienced
any difficulty in obtaining necessary
supplies. They state that large Euro
pean purchases in the Argentine mar
kets have diverted hides from the
United States and intensified the ex-
istent shortage.
Prices have advanced to new high
levels because of the demand for the
small stocks of hides and leather. Calf
skins, nine to twelve pounds, city
slaughter, rose from Sl1 earlier in the
week to SLIPS yesterday.
Prices for sole leather have also gone
up. Quotations announced yesterday
were as follows:
Oak bends, Chicago packer, No. /,
pound, S1.22; No. g. $120; No. 8, s1.15;
oak backs, heavy, middle and light, No.
