COAL SITUATION
IS SERIOUS
STATEN MT BY THE NINTH FED
ERA RESERVE BANK OF
MINNEAPOLIS.

Minneapolis, July 30.-The prob
lem of securing bituminous coal for
industries in the northwest is serious,
a statement of the Ninth Federal Re
serve bank said today. The north
west is more dependent on lake trans
portation than ever because of rail
road conditions. While 80 per cent
of the normal supply of anthracite
coal for residential heating has been
received at the head of the lakes,
only % per cent of the normal supply
of bituminous coal for industries has
been unloaded.

Getting true line on the actual con-
dition Of business is made extremely
difficult by the great number of rumors
afoat. The rumor that several of the
large department stores are to close
for a period Of two weeks or more in
January and to reopen on a lower wage
scale still persists, despite the ssu
ance Of denias by leading store exccu-
Goods Association of New York. Ru-
mors also concern the financial status
of several large stores, but these also
have been denied.
Altogether, it is evident that business
In general still has some hard days
ahead Of it. The Improvement in general
conditions has not been large enough or
broad enough to encourage the resump-
tion Of operations upon large scale.
Doubt and uncertainty still cloud the
situation, and the majority Of manufac-
turers, wholesalers and retailers, appear
to be sitting by quietly, waiting for
something ITO turn up"
One OF the most encouraging features
Of the present situation is the growing
indication Of low stocks of many
classes of merchandise on the shelves OF
both wholesalers and retailers. The cur
tailment in production during the last
six months, according to number of
trade leaders, has been more drastic
than during any Of our previous trade
depressions. Old stocks are being worn
down, and II business is to continue at
all replenshments will have to be
made soon. The pressing need for mer-
chandise Is borne out by the fact that
most Of the purchases made in to-day's
market are for immediate delivery, and
are usually shipped by express. AL
ready there Ia much talk among con-
sumers Of inability to find wide selec-
tions Of wanted goods in the retail
stores.

.Jewelrv

Little relief from the depression ip
the wholesale jewelry trade was re-
ported. Indications point to fair
volume of Christmas business by re-
tailers, placed by some observers at
about 20 per cent less than last wear,
which was a record breaker. This is
decidedly encouraging to the manu-
facturers and wholesalers, who expect
to feel some reaction to it later on.
Prices of gems and jewelry in general
are showing extreme firmness in whole
sale markets despite the depression
Price cutting at retail appears to be
confined to some department stores
who seemingly are overstockcd and are
willing to sacrifice profits in order to
realize ready cash.

Apparel

The so-called defation of labor is the
largest problem in the garment indus
tries according to trade leaders. The
strike or lockout in the mems clothing
industry in this city over the efforts
of manufacturers to force wage reduc-
tions and the piece work system. is
spreading to other markets. Some such
move is expected in the women's gar
ment field before the spring manufac-
turing season gets fairly under way.
A few Rochester and Chicago mems
clothing manufacturers are reported as
have sufficient orders on hand to start
spring cutting, but i'll the local mar
ket extreme dullness prevails.
Little progress toward spring bust
ness in the women's wear field has
been made. Buyers assert that prices
show little reduction from last year
and the impression prevails among
them that lower prices will prevail
next month and in February. This is
delaying early buying to some extent.

which in mid-November were priced at
65 cents and in July at 80 cents. Re
visions also were made on printed wash
goods by one or two leading convertcrs,

ideas that buyers have been insisting

siderable volume of business had been
booked on memorandum, prices to be
made later. The new prices on wide
sheetings terminated the memorandum
business in that division Of the trade.
Revisions are expected in ginghams and
percales this week in order to place the
entire trade on a bedrock basis in an
ticlpation of January business.
Silks
Several leading producers of silk
goods last week asserted that they had
booked more business than for some
time past Those who had not noticed d
an increased volume of sales we're de-
cidcdly more optimistic. Desirable
merchandise in the silk line is not
superabundant, according to buyers
who are now operating. The retail and
cutting-up trades, as the garment
manufacturers are known, we're re-
ported to be heavier buyers than the
jobbers, who are still baking at present
prices. On the strength of the better
demand for silks. it is expected that
slight price advances will be made this
