Apparel

Wholesale buying of mems clothes
for spring continued in good volume
last week, but the apathy that has
settled on the women's apparel market
appeared to be unbroken. Here and
there spring orders for womcns
dresses, coats and suits are being
booked, but the trade is spotty and
nothing like a rush on the part of
buyers for merchandise has material
lied
Manufacturers in many cases are
we'll stocked with winter goods. Sur
plus stocks appear to be as plentiful
in the wholesale market as ever, in
spite of the great cry of shortage
of goods raised by manufacturers when
the wholesale winter selling season set
in last July. Manufacturers are using
the same argument again, but many
buyers say they will not buy earlier
than usual and will place their orders
conservatively because of the extreme
ly high prices.
The sharp contrast between retail
prices now and what they will be next
spring if the opening prices of manu-
facturers are maintained throughout
the coming season is expected by some
merchants to curtail consumption ma
terially. Many manufacturers are
planning their seasons accordingly, and

Maynard to Fly Over City
To-day for Actors Fund

Lieutenant Belvin W. Maynard, the
styling parson," will fly over the city
at 2 o'clock this afternoon to aid the
Actors Fund Of America before start
ing tomorrow from Mineola on his one
stop cross-continent flight in his new
biplane The Greyhound.
In this fight, which will be part Of
the final test of his specially con-
structed plane, Lieutenant Maynard
will drop number of s,gned orders
emitting the finders to a seat in some
of the fifty-three theaters which will
give benefit performances on December
for the Actors Fund. One Of the or
ders will represent a seat at the New
Amsterdam Theater, donated at q cost
of $4,000 by Jules Bache. Lieutenant
Maynard also will carry on his fight
messages from local headquarters of
the drive to officers of the fund in San
Diego, Cal.
Another ticket for the December s
mani had paid $1,000, was stolen when a
loft building at 14s to 1856 West Twen-
ty-third Street was robbed last week, it
was learned yesterday Other property,
valued at $4,000, also was taken.
The youngest recruit to work for the
Actors Fund reported to headquarters
by letter last week. She is Marion Par
shall, eight, of 314 Bleecker Street,
Brooklyn. Mistress Parshall broke into
her blue and yellow pig bank and sent
80 cents which she had saved up for the
fund being raised to provide for aged

DR.. Walter F. Prince, of the Ameri-

spoke last night at the Episcopal
Church of St. John the Evangelist, at
Waverly Place and Eleventh Street.
His topic was scientific Evidences of
a Future Life" The address was de-
livered at the invitation of the Rev. j.
A. Wade, pastor of the church. Some
of the numerous questions put to DR..
Prince after his address dealt with the
recent exhibitions of Mrs. John H. Cur

side or not, the phenomena she pro-
duces is literature. Though I have my
dubts about Patience Worth being a
veritable person, | have no doubt about
the extraordinary nature of Mrs. Cur
rams phenomena"
He was asked also about the COM
munications which Basil King ascribed
to "Jennifer," and replied:
"Basil Kings reaction of a bright
man is ethical, but | don't regard it as
evidertial. That may be accounted for
because of the fact that you may have
q totality of impression conveyed to
you which you can't convey to other
persons"
The questioner appeared to be sat
ished. He asked no more about Basil
King.

Leather

The weakness of foreign exchange
rates upset the entire leather market
last week, and little business for cx-
port was transacted. These declines
in quotations have proven invaluable
to American manufacturers in search
of stocks of leather, as they tend to
keep the foreign buyer out Of the mar
ket. AS foreign buying has been tenn
porarily held up local dealers are now
able to enter the market and purchase
supplies to advantage.
changed throughout the week. Good
grade skins have been selling at S1025
and S11.25, as to weight. The lighter
five to seven pound skins are quoted
at $3.50 to SO, with a good demand at
that price. Kips' are held at $12 and
s13. Goat skins are in good demand,
owing to the inability of the manu-
facturers to t. sufficient stocks Of
good quality calfskins. Deer and elk
skins advanced to cents during the
week, with considerable stocks chang
ing hands at the increased quotations.
Sales of suitcases, leather purses.
handbags, travelling bags and brief
cases broke all records during the
month of October and for the half of
November. Statesmen returning from
the road report that they did not have
to seek customers, since supplies in
all parts of the country have become
so limited that the dealers were only
too willing to buy.

COttOns

Lower prices and freer offerings of
gray or unfinished goods last week
failed to bring about reductions or a
larger supply of the finished goods in
which the general public is most in
terested. The violent break in the
stock market and raw cotton market Of
the previous week served to shake the
confidence Of the speculative element
in the market and prices have not yet
recovered from the first drop. A grad
ual falling off in prices and greater
Offering of goods manifested them
selves as the week wore on, but actual
trading was limited.
Converters, printers and other users
Of gray goods kept out of the market
as much as they could, believing that
resumption of buying would result
only in another upward price march.
The big mills all through the week
held their prices firm. They are sold
up In the future as far as they care
to go, and most Of them could get
along comfortably without moro orders
for a month or more. The standard
64-60 print cloths, which the week be-
fore dropped to 1917 cents a yard,
were offered last week at 18 cents by
secondhand holders. Most of the
weeks business was confined to coarse
print cloths and sheetings. Fine gray
goods continued scarce and for the
most part at firm prices.
The big dry goods jobbers are oper-
ating as heavily as ever. The drop in
gray goods, they say, has not affected
the price or demand for finished goods,
which are still being taken in liberal
quantities. Fine goods are particular
ly scarce and voiles, lawns, organdies
and other fabrics suitable for high
class garments for women are being
activity sought by retailers and apparel
manufacturers.

Move to Eliminate
Too Much Production
Failure to Gauge Accurately De.
mand for Women's Garments
Cause of Heavy Losses

A great though unorganized move
ment has begun in the women's apparel
manufacturing industry to eliminate
overproduction. Among a few of the
far-seeing and studious manufacturers
overproduction, with the resultant "jobs'
and losses at the end of the season, was
banned several years ago.
The present fall and winter manufac-
turing season, now drawing to a close
drove home the lesson to some of the
larger manufacturers, who in the past
have made fortunes out of volume busi-
ness. This year some of the biggest
houses in the industry have been forced
to take tremendous losses. At present,
according to we'll informed members of
the trade, there are at least 10000
dresses and similar number of coats
and suits and possibly a larger number
of waists on the racks of manufacturers
in this city For these there is no out
let save that of the reduced price COB
channel. Several manufacturers are re-
ported to have barely broken even on
the season; the profits made from early
sales of garments at full market prices
having been offset by the losses the max
ers were forced to take to get rid of
their accumulations later on.
Because of these offerings of "jobs'
many retailers have been able to offer
garments to the public at less than their
true value. The keen competition also
has forced other retailers to take "mark-
downs" on the merchandise they had in
stock. The women of the country have
only begun to feel the effect of high
prices and sharper increases will rule
for spring, based on the present cost of
producing merchandise.
Overproduction, according to leading
manufacturers, resulted from the failure
of the producers to gauge accurately the
present demand for women's garments
Some thought that high prices would re-
suit in rush for low grade n.erchan-
disc. Others thought that high prices
would make no difference in the volume
of demand. Both classes made mis-
take. The bulk of the merchandise now
being sold in the retail stores is of the
better quality. Low grade merchandise
is moving slowly. On the other hand
the volume of business in the high
class garments has been greatly re-
stricted. 1t appears that the average
but because of the increased price is
buying fewer garments.
The tremendous rises in silk and
woolen values, which trade leaders ad-
nit are largely speculative, have made
it more profitable for apparel manufac-
turers to dispose of their piece goods
than to cut them up into garments for
which the demand is limited. Labor in
the needle working trades is receiving
the highest wages the industry ever has
paid.
This situation has brought many man.
ufacturers to the conclusion that safety

of spring apparel. Several of the most
astute manufacturers have decided to
bring out fewer models and to make up
merchandise only as it is ordered They
will strive for quality, regardless of
price.

Service men and ex-service men who
have been puzzled by the war risk in
surance regulations are about to be
given first aid. At $50 Broadway, at
the War Risk Bureau, there has been
established clearing house for war
risk troubles.
r. Rexford Shaffer, an ex-service
man, has been appointed by the Wash
ington authorities as a special repre-
sentative of the War Risk Bureau in
New York State. Mr.. Shaffer's Office is
now open for business. A similar SER

Mr.. Shaffer explained yesterday that
his object was to conduct an educa-
tiona. campaign in reference to war in
surance matters. Many men are still
in the service and many others who
have been discharged, he said, are en-
titled to benefits of which they are
totally unaware. 1t is the object of Mr..
Shaffer's Office to educate the men as
to their privileges under the war risk
insurance act and to unravel knotty
problems in the same connection.

Trade Review

mouth policy and large orders are
placed only upon violent breaks in tho
market. Silk yarns and spun silks arc
almost off the market entirely and
those mills that do not maintain their
own throwing and spinning plants are
having difficulty in anticipating sup
plies. The throwsters are sold up for
several months to come and extra sup
plies that may come through from time
to time are eagerly taken at premium
prices.
Buying of finished goods as a whole
suffered a slight easing off last week,
but the demand in certain quarters is
still strong. Satin faced goods for
spring are increasing in popularity,
especially dark colors for street wear.
Taffetas in black and navy blue are
going we'll. From all indications more
black and blue will be worn next
spring than has been the rule for many
seasons past. Metal brocades and
bright ribbon effects are being taken
to combine with the dark silks to re-
lieve the sombre, colors.

.Jewelry

The Wholesale and retail jewelry
trade throughout the country is in an
excellent condition, and the only en-
barrassing feature is the shortage of
goods. The best class of merchandise
is strongly in demand, with diamonds
and highgrade watches most wanted.
Collections are particularly satisfac-
tory, only seven failures being reported
in the month of October. In retail
circles trade is scasonable and the gen
eral feeling is that there will be a big
holiday business.
Silver is the outstanding figure in
the jcwelry industry at this time.
Retailers report that the demand for
rings, lavalicres, bar pins and many
other articles made of this metal is
greater than ever before. Although
the price almost reached record
point, selling at $1.32M cents on
Thursday, the buying public seems
only to have awakened to the beauty
to unprecedented sales of articles
made of this metal for the Christmas
holidays
Retailers who stocked their stores
with beaded bags some time ago are
rejoicing at their sghtcdness. The
demand for this style of bag is growing
daily, and the retailers orders have
been so large that many manufacturers
have been forced to open new beaded
bag departments in their factories. Jet
bags arc in greatest demand. although
the brighter colored beads are also at
tracing much attention. Fifth Avenue
retailers, together with the Maiden
Lane jewelers., are featuring many
French hags. and buying by the public
for the holidays is already under way
The ninth week of the strike in the
iewelry industry in New York closed
on Saturday with an agreement yet to
be reached by the manufacturers and
their workers. Manufacturers, how
ever, are optimistic, and assert that a
settlement will be effected shortly.
These manufacturers report that
through the aid of the remaining work
ers at their factories they are turning
out about one quarter of their normal
production. That amount, added to the
large shipments coming from Newark
and Attleboro, they say, will supply the
local trade with sufficient goods to
meet the holiday demand.
