Immediately. 1t is expected that within

Both pneumatic and solid tire prices

approximately Is per cent, while its

all River Dividends
Smaller Disbursements Now
Reflect Slump Last Fall
Business Nei0s Bureau
Special Correspondence

NEW BEDFORD, Mass, May 12.-
The thirty-seven mill corporations of
Fall River disbursed cash dividends for
the second quarter of the mill year to
the total amount Of $767,60o, which.
figured on the capitalization of $685.
100000, shows an average of 1882 plus
per cent, the lowest average rate paid
for any similar period since the first
quarter of 1917. The total dividends
just paid are $685. ,325 less than were
paid for the corresponding quarter Of
last year.
This great reduction is a reflection
OF the effect OF the armistice, and in
no sense indicates the present ,condi-
tion of the mills, which are again run
ming at full time and making all the
sales they can care Sor at attractive
prices. The figures represent, on the
other hand, the condition experienced
in the industry when government con-
tracts were cancelled and it was nee
essary to seek other markets, which
were not then to be found.
The annual statement of the big
Davol mills in New Bedford, which
has just been issued, shows that the
condition reflected by the above figures
was merely temporary, for this corpo-
ration's earnings for the year past
amounted approximately to $26.4S a
share, $3.50 of which was distributed

Silks

Silks for Quick Deliv-
cry Hard to Buy

Trade In dress silks yesterday was
fairly active. A number of visiting
buyers were in the showrooms of the
leading manufacturers, and while most
o. them placed orders calling for de-
livery during August, September and
October, some, principally those rep
resenting. manufacturers of women's
garments, bought goods for prompt
shipment. The reported imminence Of
the strike of cloak and suit operatives
seemed to have prompted the buying
BY the manufacturers of dresses, who,
1T is assumed, would be benefited by
cessation of work in the cloak and
suit industry.
The selling agents for the silk mills
found it difficult to accommodate Gus
toners who wanted goods Immediately,
the heavy buying which took place
from January to April having cut into
stocks so deeply that present supplies
are negligible. Nor were the mills
over keen about booking additional or
ders for delivery during August and
September, and some of them have sent
instructions to their travelling sales
men temporarily to cease accepting fur
ther business for future shipment
Leading mill agents asserted that. as it
seems impossible to stimulate mill out
puts, belated buyers most Hkely will
suffer disappointment when they come
to the market for goods.

Business MOnev

One hears almost nothing now of
the 572 per cent rate for paper. The
market Is quoted at to 5A. per cent.
One house, which had been CARVING
some paper at per cent, raised the
rate on Saturday to 5A in order to
hasten its sale. The result was sur
prlsing. Demands came from half a
dozen New York banks which hereto
fore have not been in the market, and
the paper was quickly disposed of.
TINS is all the more remarkable as the
banks seldom purchase commercial
paper on Saturday.
Most brokers do not find that the
lower rate has induced any additional
borrowing by business, and many Of
them long ago abandoned the idea
that the rate had a great deal to do
with 1t. Evidently it is very i'm

Textiles
Keen Demand for Cotton
Goods Sends Prices
Higher

Demand for cotton goods yesterday
was strong. Prices for number of
fabrics advanced. Domestic buying of
hleaced fabrics as we'll as un-
bleached weaves was on an important
scale. Fairsized foreign orders for
colored cottons were received. Trade
in print cloths was reported to be
larger than at any time during the
preceding ten days, and prices were up
ne-fourtb of a cent yard.
The Southern mills that turn out
unbleached cloths are working full
time, and it was said that such surplus
stocks as they had have been sold,
while sufficient orders have been
booked to- insure capacity operations

Hayti and Central America were
reported to have placed orders for sew

for sheetings were received from
China, and inquiries came in from tho
Red Sea countries, but it was intimated
that some time may elapse before the
inquiries eventuate in actual orders.
Commission men were inclined to
look foq considerable trade with China,
the inference being that Japan, our
strongest competitor in the Orient, has
taken so much business that its mill
capacity has become overtaxed.

MONTEREY, Mexico, May 12.-Near-
ly all the agricultural machinery and
implements for use in this country
will be bought in the United States
in the future. Formerly large pur-
chases of this kind were made in Ger
many, due to the fact that the hard
ware and machinery trade Of Mexico
is in the hands of German firms. AL
though most of these firms were hard
hit by the trading with the enemy
embargo, they expect to regain their
lost business and prestige now thai
the embargo against them has been

Heouier Inquiries for Cop
per Receiued From,
Spain: Price Up

Leading producers yesterday marked
up the price of copper from 15h to
l5A cents a pound. The advance in the
quotation was based upon slightly
better domestic demand and the clos
ing of a number of small foreign
orders.
Spanish consumers have increased
their inquiry for copper from 1000. 900
to 100000 pounds, it was reported in
the trade, and it is erpected that the
sale of a portion of this amount will
be consummated this week.
The price of 15A cents pound now
being quoted by the large producers of
copper is for May, June and July de-
livery.
Inquiry in the trade yesterday de-
veloped the fact that large sellers of
copper expect the present French en-

Large Sales of Suits
Boom Waist Business
Manufacturers and Retailers
Hardly Able TO Care for
the Demand

Large sales of womens suits by re-
tailers this spring have made good
business for waist manufacturers and
retailers, with the result that both are
finding it difficult to fill the. present
demand. "a dress is a complete cos
tune, but suit requires at least two
and possibly more blouses," said a
prominent manufacturer = yesterday.
"For that reason, the popularity Of
women's suits this spring has thrown
an extraordinary demand on the waist
business, already behind in filling its
orders because of the recent strike"
Waist manufacturers are endeavor-
ing. to increase their output by in
stalling more machinery and equip
ping new factories, many Of them
located out of town to avoid labor
complications existing here.
typical condition in the trade is
found in the experience of one lead
ing manufacturer who sent twenty-five
statesmen on the road two weeks ago.
When the statesmen left, the produc-
ton manager figured that his depart
mcnt had cut enough waists to fiji in
coming orders for six weeks. Ycster-
day the manager had to wire the sales
men that 80 per cent of the models
they were showing were sold out and
the statesmen are proceeding with only
half the number Of samples with which
they started their trips. At the present
rate of sales the men will lbe recalled
from the road before they have finished
with their trips.
