Jobbers in silks were preparing yes
terday for a more active market dur
ing the coming business week Sales
were small as they are normally on
Saturday with most Of the trade taking
large part of the day off. But pre-
dictions were made around the esiIk
district that the new week would wit
ness progressive Improvement in the
demand for all kinds Of silk goods,
Last week saw a moderate degree of
Improvement, indicating that the silk
market was looking up again after a
lull OF several weeks.
The one complaint of the sellers Of
SIX IS the shortage Of goods. This is
a! ready serious and the prospects are
that 1t viii grow much worse ii the
mill operatives continue to go out for
shorter hours and more pay. Reports
Of conditions in Pennsylvania, where
labor agitation has resulted in the
closing of many important silk mills,
were meagre yesterday, but so far as
is known there has been no improve
ment in that quarter
Cables from Yokohama indicated a
better feeling there with prices for
standard raws slightly higher as re-
suit of more active buying by the
Japanese manufacturers. Locally the
raw silk market was quiet with a firm
tone. Buyers as a rule arc going slow
pending further developments in the
labor market

Unable to Meet Demand

Labor difficulties in the fur manu-
featuring trade are driving many
manufacturing furriers into the raw.
SKIN business where fewer employees
are necessary. The present season
has been Il phenomnal one, sof ar as
sales OF fur garments is concerned.
Manufacturers say they are unable to
cope with the great demand. Deliv-
eIes are as far as six weeks behind
schedule now. and more orders are
pouring IN daily. In addition to this
the manufacturers say the supply of
raw skins is growing shorter, neces-
stating a greater outlay of time and
money to obtain adequate stocks. Re
ports OF big profits made in the raw
skin business also are attracting man.

The closing date of shipments for
the fall auctions in London has been
advanced to Thursday OF this week in
order to enable late shippers 20 place
Utcir goods on the Acquitania, which
sails on that day. According to Amer
lean agents for London firms, the ship
ments for the auction this year are
small. Many shipments, it is said,
destined for sale have becA sold pri-
vately in London at good prices. The
demand for furs for immediate use in
London and on the Continent, 1t is said.
is fast sweeping out stocks of furs
now in the British trade centre.

Observation-Disclosures Of
German Potash RcDOrscd

Reports Of the sale by Germany Of
10 600 tons Of muriate of potash to in
forests in this country has weakened
TIE market for all potash salts. The
report could not be officially confirmed.
but chemical brokers stated that sins
he'd been chartered through the United
States Shipping Board to transport this
potash from Hamburg to Savannah and
Wilmington some time during October
and November
recent order issued by President
Wilson permits the importation Of
murlate of potash from Germany pend
ing the enactment of legislation pro-
tecting the domestic industry. The
American Mining Congress recently
issued a statement declaring that with
out proper protection and "a licensing.
sy tenn the $50,0OO,0O0 invested in pot
ash plants in this country would be
lost, and that bankruptcy faces do
nestle manufacturers if competition
with Germany is permitted. Fertilizer
manufacturers and farmers in this
country are anxious to use German
potash because of its cheapness. The
objection voiced against American pot
ash in addition to the price, is that
the output of most manufacturers CON
tains too large percentage Of borax
Advocates of protection state that in
two or three years American manu-
facturers will be able 70 produce pot
ash that can compete in price and
quality with the best European ma
terial, regardless OF import restric-
tons. They ask that the industry be
gwen protection in its formative stage.

Manufacturers OF dyestuffs yes
terday announced the appearance on
the market in commercial Quantities
of two new dyes. Niagara blue and sui
phur brown Z. Niagara blue is a
direct color somewhat similar to the
pre-war type of benzazurine colors of
which 1869 pounds valued at s21,0l3
were imported into this country by
the large German dyestuffs manu-
facturers during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1914. AS Niagara blue is re-
puted to be a fast color large sales to
the domestic trade are expected
One manufacturer has announced
that he viii soon be in a position to
manufacture anthraquinone in large
quantities. Processes have been per-
fected and machinery for large scale
production is now being installed No
anthraQuincne has been on the domes-
tie market since 1914, when imports
from Germany. the only manufacturer
OF this intermediate, were stopped.
AnthraQunone is used in the manufac-
ture OF vat dyes, especially alizarin
colors. AS many manufacturers are
preparing to engage in the production
OF vat dyes shortly, the demand for
anthraquinone will undoubtedly be
great. Aizarin color. are the chief
vat dyes used by the consuming indus
tries. The only color of this group
produced in America to-day IS alzarin
blue, the entire output of which comes
from one manufacturer. The importa-
ton Of six months supply OF vat
dyes from Germany has disturbed
manufacturers about to produce vat

Continue to Offer Goods Dozen

Speculative selling of gray goods in
this market by secondhand operators
continued on smaller scale yesterday
The mill agents refuse to meet the
lower quotations made by the specula-
tors and do not hesitate to make their
position known.
While there appears to be a plent-
tul supply OF gray goods in the mar
ket, the situation is such that the mills
can afford to wait until the greater
portion Of the supplies Of the second
hands mas been absorbed. When that
tune comes as it will soon, in the be-
lief Of the mill AGENTS greater activity
can be looked for, since the offering
OF goods at concessions by the specula-
OTIS has caused many prospective buy
RS to hold off in hopes Of further
lowering of prices.
The new week will see the fixing Of
prices on additional lines of spring
goods. Last week several firms made
quotations on ginghams. Tomorrow a
large commission house, which is one
Of the leaders in its line. Will make its
prices on draperies. The prices Will
apply to goods that have been sold sub
ject to confirmation.

Bureau for Exchange
OF Credit Information
Associated Dress Industries to
Make Ledger Experience
Available to Members

The interchange among dress manu-
facturers of actual ledger experience
with retailers will be one Of the salient
features Of a credit bureau which is
being established by the Associated
Dress Industries of America The blu.
reau is expected to be in full operation
by October /. In addition, q daily
bulletin issued by the bureau will lis,
chronic returners of merchandise, re-
taiers who take excessive discounts
and those who practise other trade
abuses. Manufacturers will be warned
so listed.
In announcing the inauguration OF
the new credit bureau. David n Moses
sohn executive director Of the Asso-
ciated Dress Industries of America, al
luded to it as a step toward "cleaninc
house" in the industry and eliminating
abuses which "have made life miser-
able for so many manufacturers in the
past"
81 am sorry to have to record the
fact" he said yesterday, that the
dress manufacturing Industry, speak
ing generally. has for many years been
operated in a siipshod manner, SO
much so that one man failed to trust
the other, and in some instances a
mans WORD mas meant nothing. An
order has never meant an order. This
Will be stopped now. and when re-
taller SAYS he wants fifty dresses Of a
certain kind he will be compelled to &C
cept fifty dresses of the kind ordered
and he will not be permitted to cancel
an order after the merchandise has
been put into work and incur a severe
loss on the manufacturer.
True, this also will apply to the
manufacturers in their dealings with
the raw material houses. They will
have to practise what they preach, and
the raw material man likewise will be
affected. The housekeeping is coming
no matter who it hurts, and it will
continue until man Will say he feels
proud to be in the Industry The time
is certainty ripe for drastic action. II
has been due for some years, and the
Associated Dress Industries OF America
will be the organization that takes the
bull by the horns and make lie Miscr-
able for the unscrupuioCs man and
give the honest man a chance to show
what he can do.
This is an age of progress, decency
honesty and consciousness in the
business and professional world, anG

.EWELRY-VhoIesaye
Business Setting Ne,p Records

DURING the last nine months whole
sale jewellers have done as much husi
ness as ordinarily is handled in two
years. They say that if the next three
months should be as active the wear
1919 viii go down as the most pros
porous and busiest year ever witnessed
IN the jcwelrv industry since the
signing of the armistice orders have
oeen ahead OF schedule. In the spring
or TINS Year enormous summer orders
were placed, and in the summer large
tall demands were made. This cnor-
nous demand has continued TO such a
degree that the jewellers are not only
at present receiving orders for the
Christmas holidays. but also for the
spring CT 1920.
Wholesalers who formerly placed
their spring orders late in November
or the carly part OF December have al
ready visited the market and have
placed large orders, but manufacturing
jewellers are making no promises az
to delivery. The time guarantee has
also been practically eliminated from
all contracts. AS result of these
heavy orders. manufacturing jewellers
are practically assured Of prosperity
for the next eighteen months.
Jewellers report that the shortage of
goods and the lack Of facilities at the
factories to keep up with their orders
continue to be serious factors in their
business. One wholesaler stated yes
terday that manufacturer Of gold
chains. both the solid and the plated
kind, refused to accept his entire holt
day order for this line of jewelry. and
after some persuasion finally agreed to
try and fill half of the original order.
This is but one example of the many
difficulties that are confronting the
jewellers in their efforts to place
Christmas orders.
