Large Orders Placed for
Soda Ash BY Local
Consumers

Local consumers are beginning to
buy soda ash in quantity. One large
concern has placed an order for two
cars week. There is big demand
for caustic soda. An order was
placed yesterday for $50 tons. One
house has sold 400 tons in the last
ten days. Much soda ash is being
sold by second hands, whose price is
10 cents below that of the manufact-
urers.
Buyers are coming into the market
for small lots of aluminium hydrate
The heavy grade stands at 81 to Q
cents and the light at II to l8 cents.
Needle antimony is selling in fair
sized lots at 6 cents. Free importa
tions and lack of any large demand
for the material are responsible for
the decline from the former level.
Antimony oxide also has been reduced
to as low as 6la cents.
The sulphurated varieties have not
been reduced so radically, but their
position in the spot market is con
siderably easier. Sales on the basis
of 20 to 81 cents for the red are re-
ported, with other grades in propor-
ton.

Textiles
Buyers Scramble for Cot
ton Goods, Paying
Higher Prices

Lively buying of all kinds of cotton
goods yesterday at advanced prices
kept the mill agents busy. The en-
larged volume of sales was attributed
to the sharp rise in the price of raw
cotton, and to concern on the part Of
buyers about future supplies of goods,
now that the New England mills are to
work only forty-eight hours a week
after June 2 instead of fifty-two hours,
as under the present schedule.
There seemed to be vertable scram-
bic for colored goods, and one of the
leading producers of ginhams ad
vanced various lines from one to two
and one-half cents a yard, Jobbers and
cutters were the most liberal buyers of
these fabrics.
Large orders for bleached goods were
received by the leading producers, and
it was intimated that as the New Eng
land mill operatives will receive an
advance of 10 per cent in wages higher
prices than those prevailing are
probable. Bids for gray or unbleached
goods surpassed the offerings made by
the mills, and prices for goods suitable
for making printed fabrics advanced

All Wool Curiosity

Reaction to the "virgin wool" adver-
tlslng campaign has manifested itself
in the many requests which woollen
and worsted selling agents have re-
ceived from their customers inquiring
about the composition of fabrics they
have purchased for use during the
coming fall season. These inquiries
for the most part are confined to the
question as to whether the fabrics or
dered are all virgin wool. In answer
ing these letters the mil lagents have
been frank to tell their customers the
truth in most cases, it is believed
Where the fabrics in question have
contained shoddy or raworkcd wool.
the selling agents have stated that the
presence Of this substitute material in
the cloth is not q mark of inferiority
and does not detract from the wearing
quality or appearance of the material.
Most selling agents say they are
willing to tell their customers whether
or not shoddy and cotton is present in
the fabrics they sell, although it is i'm
possible in most cases to give the cx-
act percentage of virgin wool used in
making any particular cloth.

Jewclry
Retailers Ordering .Je,v,
elry No,v for Christmas
Holiday Season

Retail jewellers, fearing delay in the
delivery of goods for sale during the
next Christmas holiday season arc now
placing orders with the manufacturers
This is an unusual procedure as the
retailers in past years have been wont
to buy their fall and winter stocks of
jowelry as late as September. The new
policy adopted by the retailers is
looked upon with favor by the manu-
facturers as the extension of time in
filling orders will provide them an OPP
portunity to catch up with production
Because Of the continued demand
for jewclry of all kinds and the early
orders for next seasons merchandise.
it is expected that the usually dull
months of June, July and August will
be busy manufacturing periods.
Novelty jewelry, including all kinds
of trinkets and bags, are said to be
more in demand than ever before and
factories producing this class of goods
are operating to full capacity to keep
up with orders. The shortage of labor
is handicap, but it is expected that
production will be sufficiently large by
fall to take care of all demands.

(Ertrdct from, ioclosure3

Desiring to foster no false hopes
among retailers and aiming thereby
to I'LL 100 per cent of all their orders
3. kuppenhemer & Co., of Chicago
have adopted the policy of limiting
TALL business to so per cent over the
initial fall orders of their trade last
year In point of dollars and cents
The one exception to this rule will
be retailers handling Kuppenheimer
clothing exclusively, who will not be
limited at all. This announcement
was made to representative of "The
Daily News Record" yesterday by
Ludwig Stein, head of the house of
huppenheimer, and president of the
National Association of Clothiers,
who is in town to attend meeting
OF the executive committee of the
national association at the Brevoort
at 1890 o'clock o-day.
Mr.. Stein emphasized the point that
the 80 per cent limit will be figured
on the dollars and cents, and not on
garments. On garments. it will mean
only 40 per cent over the initial fall
orders of last year, declared MIR. Stein,
as the fall Kuppenheimer line is of a
much higher standard this year than
last as a result of the removal of the
restrictions on labric quality and
about 10 per cent higher on the aver
age in price than last fall.
Deliveries, Nh. Stein estimated, will
be prolonged from August through the
month of December in both suits and

English-Made Woollens
Bring High Prices Here
Goods Ordered Over a Year Ago
Now Arriving in Larger
Quantities

English made woollen goods are ar
irving in this country in increasing
quantities, and selling agents say they
have no trouble in dsposng of them,
even at the exceedingly high prices.
Most of the goods coming in now are
said to have been ordered a year or
more ago. English cloth manufacture
ers, according to their representatives
here, are not endeavoring to expand
their trade in this country at present,
but are making strenuous efforts to
hold what trade they can.
One we'll known British cloth now
sells for SIS a yard. Before the war
it brought about S5 yard. Sellers
Of English made cloth admit that un-
til prices decline their sales will be
relatively smaller than they were be-
fore the war
There is said to be fair quantities of
low quality English made fabrics in
this market that are hard to sell, even
as are the corresponding grades OF
American cloths.

the semi-annual meeting of tho Amerj-

the contention was voiced that the
present tariff of 35 per cent is not ade

this country between the japanese and
American manufacturers. On toilet

least 60 per cent is needed
In discussing the necessity for this
tariff protection William Cordes. presi-

toilet brush branch Of the Industry
was most seriously affected by the in

Haze Plenty to Spend
Buying Power Reflected in Steady Demand for
Goods of Best Quality, Sales Manager Asserts;
Japanese Competition in Grass Rug Business

Many retailers to day make a mistake
in judging that the purchasing power
of their customers is the same as it
was four years or more ago. This was
the opinion expressed yesterday by
George B. Fawley, sales manager for
the Crex Carpet Company, who has
just returned from trip through the
South and West, where he Investigated
retail conditions.
"The general public is buying free
ly," he said, "and is paying top prices
for goods. ! don't mean that they are
paying prices without demanding quail
ity. Far from it. Cheap merchandise
does not sell we'll to-day at any price,
| have found, but high prices for
quality goods are not deterring sales.
Even in the smaller towns Of the South
and West the retailers who have ample
stocks on hand are doing a remarkable
business in good merchandise. In
Texas especially, the best of our goods
and all other kinds Of floor coverings,
az we'll as furniture and wearing ap-
parel, are selling freely and merchants
have barely sufficient stocks to cover
their needs. In one little Oklahoma
town I visited furniture dealer told
me that fully rs per cent of his floor
covering business was done on Wilton
rugs selling at more than 500 apiece.
Such a thing was unheard of a few
years ago in this community"
Speaking specifically of his own
business, Mr.. Fawlcy said that as in
other lines of merchandise, the de
mand is centring on the better quality
of goods Our firm was longsightcd
enough to start producing for stock
as soon as the armstce was signed
and we We're free Of our war con-
