FiRS--Fe,c Buyers in
Market. but Demand Is Good

though the number OF fur buyers
for retail stores in the market now is
small, manufacturing furrers are
booking record business through the
mails and travelling statesmen. Bus-
ness now is said to be fully As heavy
as at any tine this year.
While there is said to be no slacken
ing in the demand for coats and wraps
the manufacturers report a growing
business in small fur pieces, as the
neckpieces and muffs are known to the
trade. These have been neglected hith
erto this season. and are now coming
in strong. The new demand finds the
manufacturers short Of made-up
stocks, and few Of them can promise
deliveries in less than two weeks, and
most Of them ask for six weeks. The
late delivcry dates are requested as
result of delays in dyeing and dressing

CDLORs-NOrc Orders
Placed for Dyestufs

Basic colors are commanding chief
attention among buyers. These include
bright shades and mixtures OF the
auramine, chrysodino, methylerc and
tfraninc classes. while buying all
org the line is OF small quantities
O.. colors, there has been some i'm
rrovement in the number of orders
placed during the last week. Little
c7ntract business has been noted. Some
dealers stated that in their opinion the
IN por-aticn Of six months supply Of
German vat dyes had discouraged for
the time being any contract buying.
The arrival Of large quantities Of
swiss dyos this week has not satisfied
the demand for such shades as wool
green and patent blue. since practically
all of these colors were sold prior to
arrival. Due to high prices for Swiss
colors many dealers who would nor
manly import have refused TO place
orders. 1t was stated yesterday that
on a rising market colors would be
ordered abroad with the practical as
surance that upon their arrival in this
country prices would have advanced so
that good profit could be realized.
As most dealers feel that the top in
prices has been reached purchases Of
Swiss coiors are small, though the de-
Mand for them is great.

supply the demand. Their supplies of
platinum on hand, however. was being
apportionod among their customers at
the $3.50, $l3S and SAG basis.
Some retiners express the opinion
that the high price of platinum, in
part, is due TO the jewellers, who are
willing TO pay almost any amount
asked, all OF which tends to increase
the price, both at the price which the
refner buys and which he sells
Although largc amounts of the metal
were sold under the government plat
mum disposal plan, these supplies are
already exhausted. At present none OF
the metal is coming from England or
France. Colombia. South America, is
the only country at this time sending
any worth while shipments. Although
the platinum coming from that country
Is thought not to be so rich in iridium
as the metal coming from the Ural
Mountains, in Russia, these supplies
have been purchased as quickly as they
appeared in the market
Platinum jewelry meantime continues
to gain in popularity daily, with a par
ticuiarly heavy demand coming from
South America. In addition to rings,
platinum is used extensively in the

Signs Of A quickcnns in the demand
for silk goods wcro moro apparent yes

houses transacted business with buyers

Such orders as were token were ac-

manufacturers the PR acts Of any

between labor and the lan1facturers
is the most unfavorable feature Of the
situation in the silk trade as it is in
many other lines. This results in in
efficiency and smaller production at a
time when the great demand for .ill>
goods would easily absorb all Of the
goods offered
a jobber estimated yesterday that
the silk goods manufacturing industry
N try vat "a "a
moment on a basis Of 50 per cent. Of
capacity. Taking into consideration the
increase IN canacity since pre-war days,
that is about equivalent to 100 per cent
capacity operation in 1919. But this
iobber pointed out that the demand for
silk goods has almost tripled in that
period, so that the explanation for the
unprecedentedly high prices is simple.
II is a case of limited production YER
sus an almost unlimited demand. So
far the high prices have failed to
check the buying.
The raw silk market continues quiet
but prices are holding firm and yester-
days cables from the Yokohama
market showed no change in the
standard grades. There has been a
lull IN the buying in the Yokohama
market for several weeks and at the
moment the demand for raw silk there
is largely for consumption in Japan
American buyers are in the market
only by spurts and their takings AZ
present are not large, paratively
speaking.
The head of one OF the largest
Japanese raw silk houses stated yes
terday that stocks Of raw silk in Japan
are abnormally low. Production is
keeping up fairly we'll, however the
labor unrest not having affected the

Dealers in raw silk are generally
optimistic on the outlook and believe
that higher prices viii be recorded
when the buying of raw silk in the
primary markets begins. The past
month it has been "betwecn seasons
in raw silk. Buying by the manu-
facturers for use IN the making OF
goods for sale for next spring is ex-
pected before long to create more
active market.
