A new price schedule, showing ad-
vances of 5 per cent on first grade
watches and 10 per cent on the chearer
grades, was put into effect last week
by one Of the American watch COM
panies. Although several Of the other
large watch companies issued new
schedules few weeks ago showing ad-
vances this company held back until
last week, owing to the large amount
Of orders taken at guaranteed prices.
The general feeling in retail trade is
that the height of prices for timepieces
has been reached.
Silversmiths report record break
ing business. Many large companies
are so far behind on their deliveries
that they are refusing to accept ary
orders guaranteeing time of delivery
or prices. Cut glass manufacturers
also report good business, with sales
surprising any previous year since
1914. Although prices are high they
do not seem to check buying and only
the highest grade of merchandise is
wanted.
According to an importer just back
from the foreign gem markets dia-
monds, emeralds and pearls are selling
at prices ranging from Is to 25 per
cent above domestic quotations. Even
at these enormous prices there is Il
shortage of all kinds of precious stones.

Prices of both finished and un-
finished goods remained firm last
week in the face Of little trading. On
tho whole the basic or gray fabrics
appeared to show more strength than
the finished goods. The ruling price
throughout the week in the gray goods
market was on basis of 26 cents for
the standard 64-60, 381a Inch print
cloths. Converters who wanted to buy
good quantities of gray goods re-
ported they found difficulty in locating
all the merchandise they wanted.
Wide sheetings, sateens and fine
count goods in general are being taken
in large quantities by the mechanical
rubber and automobile trades, thus
leaving the regular cloth channels
short.
Finished goods for spot delivery
were scarce because of the delayed
deliveries occasioned by the railway
strike. Some converters had their
statesmen on the road booking orders
for dress cottons for delivery late in
the year at prices to be determined at
the time of delivery.

Trade Review

them asserted that the spring business
IN women's ready made garments has
been the worst in seven years. The
manufacturers of wash dresses are cx-
periencing a demand for their product
and are among the busiest factors in
the needle trades.
Mems clothing for fall is being sold,
bus not in as large quantities as last
year, according to conservative manu-
facturers. The market in Rochester
opened last week with a number of
buyers in attendance. Buyers also
were prevalent in the local market. So
far the ordering has been confined to
high grade suits. Few retailers are
placing orders for their full require
ments, apparently being content to
take their chance on getting sufficient
merchandise later on.
The overall movement stirred the
trade considerably and resulted in some
retailers cutting their prices. Spring
business in retail clothing has been
backward, either because of the high
prices or the unfavorable weather

Leather

Dry hides were firm last week and
there were some signs of improvement
in city hides, but business in other de-
partments Of the hide market was
quqiet. Some lots Of Bogotas and Ori-
nocos changed hands on the basis of 40
cents and several sales Of dry salted
San Domingos were reported at 80
cents, The market generally was held
in limited bounds by the crippling of
railroads, the condition Of the money
market and the nervousness Of tanners
and shoe manufacturers over the high
price investigation and the labor situ-
alton.
Some sales Of city spreads at better
than 45 cents were noted, although the
majority Of the packers were satisfied
to accept as cents, as stocks have not
been moving rapidly since the freight
embargo was established. Butt brands
were offered ut 81 cents, native steers
at 35 cents and Colorados at % to
291a cents. Country slaughters were
generally quiet with tendency to
weakness.
Holders Of calf skins were firm in
their ideas as to values and rejected
many offers Of $5.25, $6.25 and $725
for city skins. A few, however, we're
willing to trade on this basis and in
scme cases at 25 cents less. Weakness
continued in outside skins. Goat skins
were poor in demand and prices
slumped accordingly. Deer and elk
skins also attracted little attention and
tanners in their effort to stir buying
Gu prices.

Woole1ls

Orders for woolens and worsteds to
be produced within the next few
months and intended for fall en-
sumption are materializing slowly.
Some Of the women's cloak and suit
manufacturers are disposing of the
surplus material on their shelves, suit
able for summer wear. Mems clothing
manufacturers are said to be doing the
same thing to less extent. Small
jobbers are making sacrifices of some
of their summer woolens and worsteds,
but prices have not broken to any great
extent except in low end goods, for
which slight demand has existed for
several years.
Clothing manufacturers, as we'll as
retailers, continue to show a disposi-
tion to hold off buying until con-
sumer demand for apparel assumes
more definite trend in retail circles.
The overall movement is making some
impression on the textile trade. but
has not resulted in arfy sweeping re-
adjustment of prices.

Downward trends in the prices of
raw furs we're shown last week at
the auction held by the New York
Fur Auction Sales Corporation. Deal
ers whose goods were offered in the
auction protected themselves against
the decline by bidding in" and buy
ing back their own goods. Estimates
of the amount of bidding in" ran as
high as 60 per cent Of the goods Of
fered.
The auction company, apparently in
an eff -rt to conceal the decline, made
price comparisons with the April sale
of last year. On this basis most
articles showed an advance. but deal
ers asserted that almost all skins
showed a decline when compared with
February prices.
