LEATHER-Belting Makers
Busy: Book FP,U Orders

Manufacturers of leather betting are
busily engaged in filling orders now
on their books, but admit that new
business is coming in slowly. One of
the largest manufacturers said yester-
day that new busines had been fall
ing off for six weeks. Orders now on
the books will occupy the factories for
several months. No recession in prices
has yet resulted from slack trading
and the manufacturers expect no
changes for several months at least.
Production and delivery Of betting is
being hampered by the railroad tie-up.
Raw materials are slow in arriving at
the factories, and it is difficult to ship
goods to customers when they are fin
ished. No acute shortage of American
steeer hides is anticipated by the belt
ing makers. Some South American
h!des are being used. but these compose
te2ly small percentage OF t,ie total. it
is SAID.

COTTONS-Jobbers Expect
10 Get Spot Goods Later

Drygoods jobbers throughout the
country, according to a commission
merchant who recently visited his
trade, expect to come into the market
IN another month and pick up large
quantities of spot goods at what they
term "rcasonablc' prices. Many of
the Jobbers, says this selling agent,
are firm in the conviction that surplus
goods are lying around the market
As general rule agents for the lead
ing mills assert that they have no
goods in stock and arc far behind on
their production compared to the or
ders on their books.
1t is believed that considera BILE
quantity of goods is held by the East
Side jobbers, who have prospered enor-
mously during the past three years
and who have reinvcsted their capt.
tai in merchandise. Leading mill agents
admit that these jobbers have been
heavy buyers and now have large
.qua.-'iies of goods on order at the
mills. a hH!f dozen or more of the
leading jobbers in rno E,.iridgc Street
section are now moving into Inc 1!1'
established drygoods center around
Broadway and Worth Street
Some southern mills are reported
to have made slight price concessions
recently for goods in stock.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Stones Scarce and Hieher

i-precious stones of German,
French and English origin continue
scarce and are showing a constant ris-
ing tendency, according to local i'm
porters. Repres of importers
who are now in the foreign market say
their principals report difficulty in bo-
tanning large quantities of new goods
Prices abroad are on constantly ris-
ing scale, particularly for the German
goods, it is said. Those who expected
Germany to regain her former produc-
ton of cheap stones have been disap-
pointed. German workmen are de-
manding higher wages than ever before
and in the jewelry trade have gone to
an eight-hour work day with the elimin-
alton of home work, which formerly
was the basis of Germany's cheap guam
tity production.
Local jewelry manufacturers report
an acute shortage of mother of pear
with an increasing demand for this
article.

SILK S-Ferc Cancellations
OF Tie Fabric Orders


Despite the general drop in silk prices
manufacturers of silk ties assert that
they are getting some recorders for fall
fabrics at the old prices and are not
suffering from cancellations, as is the
broad silk industry. One of the largest
makers of ncckwcAr materials yesterday
SAID he had received but one request for
a cancellation. The customer in question,
d Pennsylvania tie manufacturer, asked
that all goods ordered above $3.50 a
yard be cancelled, as his trade was show
ing a disposition to shun ties priced
above $16.5O a dozen Wholesale This
may presage a general trend toward the
cheaper neckWoar bat as yet the move
ment has not gained much headway.
Lower prices for tic silks for the holi-
day trade. which will open about July /,
in the fabric market, are predicted by
