Canadian Industries
Oppose Rate Increase
Livestock Owners Say Raise
Would Check Drop i'll
Food Prices

OTTAWA, Aug 12.-Strong protest
against increased freight rates was
voiced by representatives o. the live
stock industry before the Board of
Railway Commissioners here to-day.
c. w. Quincy, of the Eastern Live
stock Association, said that livestock
prices were controlled by the European
market, and that t railway rates went
up, the consumer would ultimately
have to pay the increase. He dealt
with the troubles of the farmers and
livestock breeders in obtaining labor,
declaring that the railway employee,
with his eight-hour days, was working
about half as long as the farmer and
his wife.
j. L. Waters, representing the West
ern Canada Live Stock Association, ex-
pressed the opinion that this was bad
time Cor increasing freight rates on
food. Prices for food were beginning
to go down, but a freight increase
would tend TO stop this fall, he said
j. l.. Anderson, representing West
ern livestock exchanges, said freight
increase would practically destroy the
Winnipeg market and drive the live
stock business out of the West. He
asserted the industry already had suf-
fered heavy losses, due to hard win
tiers and drought.
representatives of the numbering
and crushed stone industries also APP
peared before the board.

Resisting Price Declines
Fine Shifting Trade Leads
Cotton Goods

One section of the cotton goods
trade that is showing great firmness
and stronger resistance to price de-
clines than other lines is the fine shirt
ing trade. Despite general declines in
most cotton goods. the manufacturers
or converters of high grade material
for shirts are holding their prices firm
Shirt manufacturers, while they have
held out of the market for a consid-
cradle length of time, assert that they
have been unable to depress prices.
Prices asked for woven madras are
now approximately as high as they
were at the peak of cotton goods prices
carly this year. In addition to this,
there is an apparent scarcity of such
materials, largely because of the short
production of fine yarns and the alb
sence of sufficient quantities of fast
dyes necessary to the production of
good madras.
Shirts sold for this fall were priced
at higher levels than ever before and
some retailers are beginning to worry
about their ability to pass these prices
on to the consumer. Most retailers
assert that a top grade cotton shirt
will have to bring better than IS at
retail to show a profit this fall.

Wholesale Business Now
Duller Than Last Year
Activities Show Decided Decline
From Two Years Ago,
RenOrts Show

Merchandising activities Of whole
salers throughout the United States
show decided drop this week com
pared to last week and CORRESPONDING
weeks year and two years ago, ac-
cording to the regular report issued
by the Credit Clearing House. In the
United States as whole purchases de-
clined 0.6 per cent from the week pre-
vlous, 63 per cent compared to last
year, and 28 per cent compared to two
years ago. Indebtedness increased SO
per cent over last week, 4.3 per cent
over last year and 20 over 1918. Pay
ments show great falling off-4.3 per
cent compared to the week previous,
90 per cent compared to 1919, and 10
per cent compared to 1918.
Small gains were made in buying In
the Pacific Coast section and the mid
die agricultural section, compared to
last week. but in the case of the former
present buying is still 1914 per cent
below last year, and in the latter 81
per cent below the level of 1919.
In summing up the report says:
"Women's apparel wholesalers have
reported considerable improvement
IN buying during the last week, al
though the season has not brought in
the usual stock orders.
Taken as a whole the report shows
decreased activities in the three phases
of merchandising, and most of the
wholesalers and manufacturers look for
less demand than for the last four
years, although they feel that there
will be a free demand about thirty to
sixty days later than the usual season"

Raw Silk Market Better

An advance in the price of raw silk
on the Yokohama market and cabled
dispatches reporting an agreement be-
tween Yokohama middlemen and reel
ers to decrease production about 20
per cent have strengthened the local
market and increased prices slightly.
Some importers have noted stronger
demand for the raw fiber within the
last two days. In some of the most
wanted sizes there is some difficulty
IN supplying requirements.
Some anxiety in the trade has re-
suited from the numerous rumors con-
corning large stocks of raw silk held
in both this country and Japan Con-
servative estimates place the supply
of raw silk now in this country at a
quantity sufficient to run the mills for
two months at full capacity or four
months at the present rate of produc-
ton. Stocks in Japan are admittedly
heavier than usual, and this led to the
agreement, as reported, to curtail pro
duction until present Accommodations
are worked off the market

Public Holds Key
To Merchandising
Situation, All Say
Business Men Agree 1t Was
Never More Difficult to
Gauge Buying Power and
Desires of Consumer

The ultimate consumer, unconsciously,
perhaps, holds the key to the merchan-
iising situation this fall in tighter
grip than ever before. All factors IN
the manufacture and distribution of
merchandise are scanning the retail
field for some indication that will give
q clew to what the mass of the peop.o
intend doing this fall in the way OF
new purchases of apparel, textiles,
shoes and the other articles of wear or
personal use. And thc majority of
business men in each branch of the in
dustry are frank in admitting that
never before was it more difficult to
guage the buying power or the pur-
chasing desires of the general public.
INDIGESTION is the paramount feature
in most industries because of this, and
this indecision is prolonging the dull
ness into which many trades have
fallen. Price is playing q smaller part
in the movement of merchandise than
tit did even a few weeks ago. Numer-
Gus instances are cited in all trades
where sharp price reductions fail TO
stimulate buying. In come classes OF
merchandise, notably silk shirts, the
ultimate consumer apparently has
baked at even the low prices at which
such goods are being offered to-day.
Taking retailers as class, they have
done far less buying than usual for the
fall season. and with the Inauguration
of the autumn selling period less than
a month away are prepared to show
their customers a smaller range of
goods than for many years past. In
short, the average retailer has adopted
the principle that now is the time to be
short on merchandise and long on re-
serve cash

Importing German Clocks
Cheap Variety of Timepieces
Finds Market Here

1mportations of German made clocks,
mostly of the cheap variety, are in
creasing in volume and are being seri-
ously considered from the competitive
angle by domestic clock manufacturers.
The domestic producers admit that
some of the German importations.
especially of alarm clocks, are offered
at attractive prices. However, the Ger
man competition has not reached a
serious point in the minds of manu-
lecturers here, largely because the lat
ter are sold up on their forward pro-
duction anywhere from SIX months to a
year ahead.
There has been some falling off in
new orders for clocks, but this is
attributed to the fact that jobbers and
retailers still have considerable ouanti-
ties owing to them by manufacturers on
back orders and nothing can be gained
by placing new orders.
In some quarters of the clock trade
stronger demand is manifestng it.

feature introduced about three years

CT the clock trade has prevented the

pieces, and the success of such clocks
is only becoming known to retailers

Coastwise Freight
Movement Begins
AS Strikers Return
Accumulation on Piers Ia
Being Relieved; Embargo
on Goods to South Lifted:
Workers to Vote Tonight

Thousands of tons of freight, which
had accumulated on the coastwise piers
in this city as result of the prolonged
strike of coastwise longshoremen and
the sympathetic strike of teamsters.
began 20 move yesterday with the call
ing off of the strike and the return
of the men to work, according to
Colonel +. A. Molitor, lead of opera
tons of the Citizens Trucking Com
pany. This is the Independent trucking
system which was operated by the Citi-
zens' Trans portation Committee during
the strike.
Colonel Molitor said that while the
committee would Immediately discon-
tinue the operation of its trucks it
would remain in existence as an emer-
gency organization and would try to
extend its facilities in cooperation with
other business organizations, so that
the merchants of the city might be in
position TO repeat their experiment
during the recent strike in event OF
future trouble.
The men returned to work yesterday
by thousands, Colonel Molitor SAID.
Technically the longshoremen who
of them have already returned to work

John F. Riley. spokesman for the
longshoremen, said yesterday that the
action Of the teamsters would be fol-
lowed officially by the longshoremen at
meeting this evening at Veronica
Hall. Mr.. Riley said that the long
shoremen mad practically concluded
their agreement with the coastwise
steamship companies whereby the men
were to return. According to him the
rlen are certain to ratify this agree
ment at to-night's meeting Mr.. Riley
was unwilling 20 disclose the terms OF
the agreement. He did say, however.
that the men would return 10 work
without having their original demands

The strike has been seriously inter
