Platinum Market Quiet

Trading in platinum according to
bullion dealers and refners, has been
brought close to standstill by the
increasing uncertainties concerning
European supplies, which may be
dumped on this market. 1t is thought
that most of the European countries
engaged in the war, particularly Rus
sia and Germany. boarded their stores
of platinum. Their financial condition
at present leads to the possibility that
these boarded supplies will be turned
into cash in the best market in the
world. America. Platinum now varies
in price from $50 an ounce for the
soft metal to $120 an ounce for that
sumption Of business, which showed a
iridium. The governments decision to
replace about $260000,O00 worth of
silver dollars melted down and sold,
has stabilized the local bullion market
in silver and has led to a fair re-
sumption TO business, which showed "a
decided falling off during the decline
in silver prices.

Straws Moving Slowly

The straw hat business this year, ac-
cording to number of reports, has
been below the expectations of tie re-
tallers, many Of whom are now shading
prices from 20 to 33 l-3 per cent, fully
two weeks before the normal price
cutting on straws takes place. High
prices and distinct style trend TO
small hats are given as the principal
reasons for the failure to move stocks
quickly. Few of the retailers plunged
on the small shaped straws, with the
result that when the style for small
hats developed the larger hats, to a
great extent, were left on the mer-
chants hands. The demand for lower
grace hats at comparatively ineXpen-
sive prices was stronger than many
merchants anticipated and fairly large
stocks of Panamas. Bangkoks and other
high quality summer headwear are
still heavy on the retailers shelves.
Manufacturers are reported to be quot
ing prices for next year approximately y
one-third in advance of the prices they
asked for this seasons goods. Several
retailers asserted yesterday that they
intended withholding their orders a.
long as possible and of ordering spar

Influx of Retail
Buyers Expected
By Manufacturers
History Will Be Made in
Textile and Apparel In
dustries in Next Few
Weeks, Wholesalers Say

History will be made during the next
three or four weeks in wholesale tex
tile. apparel and kindred lines. Manu-
facturers, selling agents and large job
hcrs in New Yorks wholesale district
are expecting an influx of retailers
from all over the country during the
period, for the purpose of doing the
bulk of their buying of fall merchan-
disc. Interior dry goods jobbcrs also
arc expected to visit the market.
The attitude of the buyers for retail
and jobbing establishments toward
present prices and the volume of mer-
chandise they order will play large
part in shaping future prices, according
to leading wholesalers. Many manu-
facturers of wooden goods, silks, under
wear, hosiery and shoes have reduced
their producing operations because of
lack of orders for their commodities.
buying is extremely late and the manu-
facturers in these lines have shown
Willingness 20 close their plants
rather than make up goods without
orders to anticipate the production. II
is believed by manufacturers and their
representatives mere that demand tor
any great quantity of goods for early
fall delivery will be unsatistied because
of the low stocks in the hands of pro-
ducers. There is an oversupply of
spring and summer goods in many
lines, but the production of fall goods
has been retarded to great extent,
the manufacturers insist
On the other hand. reports from
many retailers in all parts of the coun-
try indicate fairly heavy stocks on

Silk Trade More Cheerful

Despite the slight fluctuations in raw
silk, manufacturers of broad silks, rib
bons and other finished silk goods are
firm in the belief that the period of
low prices for their commodities is
passing rapidly. Without exception a
half dozen leading manufacturers yes
terday asserted that the silk goods

renewal Of buying activities is sure to
bring slightly higher prices. Labor ir

SANITY remind manufacturers that
they expect much lower prices as q

stock answer to this is that while raw
silk has declined to a figure below that

the finished goods cost. Several manu-

such as work shirts, overalls, etc, are
being freely offered in brokers' and
jobbers' circulars. How much Of
these goods are listed in more than
one circular is impossible to tell. but
leading factors in the trade who are
receiving large number of such cir
culars from all over the country are
beginning to believe that consider
able quantity of merchandise has been
held for speculation and is now being
offered through fear that the time for
realizing a large profit has passed.
