Importers Place Large
Orders for Raw Silk
European Buyers Compete for
Offerings in Yokohama
Market

Buying of raw silk in the local
market yesterday was light, but cables
from Yokohama told of an active de-
mand for spot silk to be shipped to
the United States without delay. Dur
ing the last week importers booked
numerous orders for both Chinese and
Japanese silks, the sharp advance in
the price of the Japanese grades hav-
ing developed more interest on the
part of buyers in the Chinese product.
Within the week prices for the prin-
cpal Japanese silks advanced about As
cents pound. Cables received by i'm
porters from their Japanese CORE
spondents indicated that stocks of
high grade silk were light. 1t was in
timated that as the European manu-
facturers Of finished silk fabrics have
been placing relatively large orders
with the Yokohama commission houses
American buyers must expect to meet
the additional competition. In the
Shanghai market silk suitable for max
ing sewing threads was reported to be
in active demand, while available sup
plies were reported scarce.

Look for Drop in
Prices of Sable and
MQrfeu

Several of the leading local raw fur
merchants are beginning to pursue
conservative policy in handling the alb
normally high priced sable and marten
skins now SO popular for summer furs.
The dealers believe that the peak price
in these furs has been reached and
that the demand which has carried
them up to prices seven times their
value year ago will soon slacken.
AT the best, they argue, the sables
and martens are not staple furs, and
their present demand is founded purely
on fashions within, which is likely to
switch at any time. A fashion, they
say, which DEGREES the wearing of a
dark colored fur, such as martcn or
sable, in the summer, cannot be ex-
pected to last more than one season.
Another point which is causing the
dealers to go slowly in stocking up
on sables and other Russian furs at
present prices is the fact that greater
supplies Of these are available Trans
portation across the Pacific has in
creased and many of the Russian skins
which reached this country by way of
Petrograd or Moscow, Leipsic and then
London, with dealers in each place tax
ing a profit, now come directly from
Siberia, where most Of the Russian
furS originate

Leather
Continued Rise IN, Hides
Stirs Leather Goods
Makers to ActiOn

Manufacturers of bags, trunks and
other leather goods who several weeks
ago hestated about placing orders for
raw material with tanners expecting
that prices would be lowered are now
anxious to buy. Prices for all better
grade hides and skins continue to ad-
vance and a good many Of the leather
goods producers have reached the con-
clusion, it is said, that to delay further
making necessary purchases will not
help their business any.
Packer hides which a month ago
could have been bought at 80 cents a
pound are now held for 40 cents. One
standard line of cowhide leather has
increased in price during the same
period from "a to 40 cents.
Because of the combination of a
shortage of labor and raw material sew
eral of the tanners of cowhide leather
are working only at rs per cent of their
capacity and are refusing orders for
some grades of leather. 1t is reported
that there is plenty of the poorer
quality of leather available but that
the shortage of good grades is acute.

California May Turn
Grape Lands to Cotton
Arizona Also Is Looked Upon
as Source of Increased
Production

New sources of cotton production in
the United States will be one Of the
important subjects to come up for dis
cusslon at the World Cotton Con-
ference, to be held in New Orleans
next October At present California
and Arizona are mentioned as the most
likely fields for producing additional
supplies of raw cotton. 1t is cx-
pected that as national prohibition
seems probable, the owners of the
grape lands of central and southern
California will turn their soil to the
cultivation of cotton.
Although the cotton acreage Of the
South now under cultivation is est
mated to be 10 per cent smaller than
that Of last year, there will be a
marked increase in the cotton areas of
Arizona and California. Experiments
that were conducted about twenty
years ago in the ella Valley Of
Arizona, demonstrated that cotton
similar to the Egyptian product could
be grown in that region of the
United States. Last year 21,140 bales
VI NOIeoh, NHluSu ~ po,ouO,OUO, were
ginned from Arizona's crop, while the
acreage cultivated, $4,000. increased
100 err cent over that of 1917
For number of years what is known
as Pima cotton has been grown in the
Imperial Valley of California This
year California's cotton area will in
clude 1000 acres in Glenn, Butte and
Suffer counties in the upper Sacra-
mento Valley, as we'll as 10000 acres in
the San Joaquin Valley.
Six hundred bales of cotton. repre-
scnting the first crop grown in Cali
fornia north Of Los Angeles, were sold
recently.
The first mill for ginning the cotton
crop of central California was recently
placed in operation at Durham, and i.
has a capacity of forty bales day.
Outside of the United States. India
is expected by English manufacturing
interests to provide additional ouanti-
ties of cotton, and some of the experts
who have studied the possibilities in
India estimate that the crop of that
country can be doubled.
Rufus r. Wilson, secretary Of the
National Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers, states that the conference
at New Orleans will bring together the
largest gathering of representatives
OF the worlds cotton industry ever as
sembled. Delegations from all parts
of the world are to be invited to the
conference.

Jewelry
Imports of Essence Used
In Making Imitation
Pearls Cut OF

Because of the chaotic conditions in
Russia, manufacturers Of imitation
pearls are worried lest they. will not
be able to replenish their supplies of
essence Of pearl, liquid used in max
ing their product. This essence is
made by a chemical treatment of the
skin Of the bleak fish, caught in Russia
and imported to this country in liquid
form. While present stocks are said
to be sufficient to provide for ordi-
nary requirements for some time, the
imitation pearl producers are fearful
that day may come when possibly
they may be forced to curtail opera
tons
Imitation wax filled pearls imported
from France are being received in
small quantities only because of the
shortage OF labor abroad, and are much
higher in price, due to the wage ad-
yances which have become effective in
French factories. The indestructibe
pearl or glass bead covered with vary
ing coats of essence of pearl is made
IN this country.
Arrangements are now being made
by jewelry importers for the purchase
OF certain classes OF stones in Czecho-
Siovakia. 1t is said that already ship
ments OF all kinds Of doublets, rubies
and garnets have been received from
that country.

Business MOnev

Commercial paper was somewhat
firmer throughout the week than in
the week preceding. Then the level
of 5 per cent had almost come to
he the general trading rate; last week
the market range was to 81 per cent,
with the amount moving at each price
about evenly divided, with some paper
still going at 512 per cent.
Despite reports from mercantile
agencies that business is expanding
every week, and the continuance of the
revival reported last week, with bank
clearings more than % per cent greater
than those at the corresponding period
last year, no Improvement has come in
the volume of commercial borrowing.
In some lines, it is true, business has
still been held back by hesitation over
the consummatlon OLA legal peace and
the removal of war; time restrictions,
but in other lines, to use the words
of a report of one of the large mer-
camille agencies, it has already as
sumed boom characteristics This
bears out the belief that the present
stagnation in business borrowing is
largely the result of a unique condi-
ton. Business has accumulated such
a supply of surplus cash that it is
able to carry on business without Dor
rowing. Usually the absence of Dor
rowing betokens the absence of bust
ness. 1t is doubtless still true, how

Silks
Buying OF SiEk Dresses
Slackens at End Of
Busy WeeEs

Comparatively few orders for dress
silks were placed yesterday, the show
rooms being almost unattended by
visiting buyers. But the leading mill
agents seemed to welcome the respite
after having covered their books with
all the orders that they deemed it ex-
pedient to take for fall delivery.
Throughout the past week buyers
virtually beseiged the sales agencies
to accept orders, but as only a few lines
remained for sale most of the business
that was protfered had to be rejected
AS result the jobbers booked large
volume of orders, but even where the
jobbers we're sought visiting buyers
had to do considerable shopping in or
der to find the choicer grades of silks
1t was intmated that the jobbers are
not in possession of large stocks,
though they may be carrying fair
quantities of the cheaper silks, for
which there has been little demand.
Henceforth the mill interests will
devote their attention to speeding up
production, to making shipments as
fast as the looms can turn off the
various fabrics, and to designing new
goods for the spring season of 1920,
which will not open until next August.

Gus concerns will make trips through

Neav Processes Expected
To Cheaper Chemicals
But American Industry May Be Stiaed if German
Products Are Permitted to Enter This Mar
ket, in Large Guam titles, Authority Asserts

Future prices for chemicals, in the
opinion of H. d. Ruhm, vice president
of the Calico Chemical Company, de-
pend upon whether or not German
products are freely admitted to the
United States after the making of
peace.
"lf German products are freely ad-
mitted," said Mr. Ruhm yesterday, sit
is my belief that German manufacture
ers will lower their prices to any
necessary extent in order to capture
the market and that American manu-
facturers will, in many cases, be
driven out of business. Ii German
products are excluded, however, prices
may be maintained for a while, but
ultimately they will work lower, be-
cause in this industry, as has been
the case in all other American indus
tries, newly discovered processes and
labor saving devices will result in low
ering the cost Of production.
Before August, 1914, we freely i'm
ported from Germany muriate of pot
ash at about $4,000 per ton basis so
pct. and caustic potash at ST. per
ton basis 80 pct. At the same time we
produced in this country an amount of
caustlc potash a little greater than the
amount imported and we're forced to
sell same in competition with the inn
ported article duty free, although it
was made from the imported muriate,
on which the price had been increased
80 pct. by the operation of a German
export tax.
Before American production of
caustic potash began on a scale of any
magnitude, the price at which both
domestic and imported material freely
sold had been $l40 per ton. Even
while selling caustic potash in this
country at SIT the Germans we're sell
ing it at home at $130, and some United
States material was actually shipped to
Germany, paid duty to get in and
Melted more than it did in this country.
Wild Swings in Prices
"The cutting off of imports in
August, 1914, caused rapid advance
in both products until in Decemb Der.
1914, muriate from the stocks held out
from fertilizer channels by the fer
tlllzer manufacturers, and diverted to
the higher priced demand of the chem
ical trade, had reached a price of 5000
per ton, and caustic potash $500 per
ton. During January and part Of Feb
ruary, Germany allowed muriate and
some caustic to be shipped through
neutral ports, and muriate sold at $75
per ton and caustc at SIG per ton.
After this was completely blockaded
in February, 1915, prices at once swung
back to the December level, and dur
ing the next two years passed through
the high points of 81, 900 per ton for
muriate and $1,000 per ton for caustic.
American production of raw material
potash, stimulated by these high
prices, had the anticipated effect of
gradual reduction to $3.50 per ton

Chemicals
Supplies OF Citric Acid
ample for Needs OF
Soft Drink Trade

Citric acid is reported in good de-
mand by the soft drink makers, but
there is said to be a surplus in the
spot market. There has been some
business in heavy acids with South
America, but export trade is smaller
than producers had hoped for at the
beginning of the year.
Fairly good sales Of glacial acetic
acid have been made recently. Car
bolc acid continues unsettled. Second
hands are still in possession of some
surplus and are Offering it at all sorts
of prices. Prices range between IA
and 10 cents a pound.
There is some action in the market
for soda nitric since the recent de-
cline in price. Demand for zinc sui
phate is better and sales of carload
lots have been made at cents a
pound. Supplies of potash carbonate
exceed the demand Second hands are
in full control of the spot market and
are Offering attractive prices without
getting much business.
