Shoe Retailers Delay
More Determined Than Ever
Not to Buy Stocks

Retailers of shoes appear to be more
determined than ever to hold off pur-
chasing their fall stocks. Manu-
facturers' selling agents say that re-
tailers are determined to risk the loss
of some early sales, rather than place
their orders before they believe the
market is right"
Ordinarily the bulk of the fall shoe
business would have been booked by
this time. In the past two or three
years the retailers placed the last Of
their fall orders as early az May, but
this year comparatively few of them
have committed themselves to new
stock for the fall season. What bust
ness has been booked calls mostly for
staple goods and in many cases was
written with the understanding that
the uyer is to receive any reductions
in prices made by the manufacturer
before the delivery of the shoes. Some
of the manufacturers sales repre-
sentatives expect business to pick up
next month and for that reason have
deferred their usual vacations.
New-York tribune., 1920-06-19
Demand Cor y. s. Clocks
South American and Asiaiic Ma
sions Buy Here

Cuba, South American countries,
Japan and India continue as fruitful
export fields for the manufacturers Of
American clocks. Some houses have
noticed slight decline in export orders
In the last two weeks, but are unable
to judge whether this indicaest q def
mite stacking up in export business or
is merely temporary depression. The
exporters feel that the doubling of ma
rine insurance rates because Of the
widespread pilfering from ocean ship
mcnts ultimately will tend to reduce
business.
Foreign buyers are complaining vo-
ciferously of delayed and stolen ship
ments. and as most of the export busi
ness is conducted on a cash against
document basis. the burden Of delayed
and missing shipments is borne by the
consignee. Claims presented to insur-
ance companies require from two to
three months for Adjustment Japan is
taking only high grade tsmepieces, &C
cording 70 importers. as"she produces
cheap clocks in her own factories. Ex-
porters TO Japan arc careFul whom they
sell now. asssome Japanese buyers have
turned out to be prolific imitators Of
the American product.

Silk Advances Again
Report of Higher Prices in
Japan Renccted Here

Importers and dealers in raw silk
Rave showed up quotations another Ten
cents pound within the last two days
as result Of reports from Japan IN
dlcating slight rise in the Yokohama
market. Reports from the japanese
market are to the effect that American
ouying Is progressing more freely and
,Hat me available supply Of high qual-
'ty SILK is diminishing rapidly
ne new crop is not yet on the mar
tet and in some quarters Il sligh: scare
ity between The tlmc that TIE old crop
runs OUT and the new crop ccmcs n.
IS believed possible. Iocally. manu-
facturers Of silk goods are buying ONLY
small amounts of raw silks, and in most
cases are looking FOR bargains Dcs-
pite the assertions and general feeling
that raw silks are definitely on an up
ward trend, the users evidently are
waiting for more active business in
finished goods before committing them
selves TO any substantial quantities Of
raw material. Quotations Yesterday
ranged from $40 TO s81o a pound.

U. S. Plants Begin
Producing Camphor
On Extensive Scale
Hope to Combat Japanese
Monopoly and Serve Big
Demand With Produc,
Made From Turpentine

Extensive manufacture OF synthetic
camphor from .urpentine has been
begun by three large chemical COM
panies in the United States, according
TO an announcement yesterday by the
American Chemical Society, in an eff
fort to combat the Japanese camphor
monopoly The camphor allotted to
this country it is alleged, IS made
quate to the demand, and is priced TOO
high. Announcement was made few
weeks ago by the du Pont interests
that they had perfected method OF
producing synthetic camphor;
The announcement from the Ameri-
can Chemical Society follows in part,
According to a report by Henry Is.
Hitchcock, United States Consul at
Taihoqu, Taiwan, the Japanese camnhor
Office has guaranteed an Amerlcaii
minimum allotment of 32T.396 pounds
for the months Of April, May and June
of this year, with the proviso that a
maximum amount of 100000 pounds
NAV be assigned. The prices pound
are given as $113 for grade Is, ana
Sl.27 for grade BIB. These rates are
reflected In the American market ny
quotation of 81 a pound for rehneo
cemphor, as compared with oO cents
pound few years ago. -.
''In view of the great demand IN the
United States for camphor whicA,,
mixed with gun cotton, Is an lmportahc
ingredient Of celluloid, and because OIL
it's medicinal uses, American industry
has been seeking other sources OF the
fragrant gum.

kinds of camphor. Camphors are mostly
crystalline solids obtained from plants.
Technically, they are volatile, oXy-
genated hydrocarbons, possessing pc
culiar odor, and can be prepared artl-
fcially by chemical processes.
at has been known for years that
grade of camphor closely resembling
the Japanese variety could be mace
from spirits of turyentine. 1t has only

in the United States. chemists believe

phor will develop into a large industry:
GAS q result of the World War and
OF the high cost of labor, spirits of
turpcntine is quoted at 81 gallon, or
