Better Outlook in Silks
Buying on Slight Upturn Gives
Good Impression

On the slight upturn in raw silks
this week, several of the leading users
are understood to have opened ne
gotiations looking toward purchases
for delivery extending well into the
fall. Prices are up about 20 cents a
pound since the beginning the week.
Yesterday japanese raws were quot
ed at a range of $3.50 a pound fer
Sinshiu to $3.50 for Kansai double
extra. Shanghai sorts were quoted at
$40 to $3.50, while Canton raws were
rriced from S5.25 to S6.25. Some of
the mills here are picking up odd lots
of silk that are offered on the market
at low prices by holders in need of
immediate funds.
European advices," according to
H. L. Gwalter & Co., report the Milan
market quiet and weak; Lyons manu-
facturers have many difficulties to
contend with, both as regards pro-
duction and delivery, and are not
buying, while business with Switzer-
land is at standstill at the present
moment. AT the same time American
buyers continue to show no interest
whatever in Italian silks. which leaves

National Trade Mark
Is Opposed by Colver
Stamp of Equality on Inferior
Goods and Injury to
Concerns Feared

WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.--Tho pro
posal that the government authorize a
national trad mark" for all Ameri-
can export goods was opposed by Will
lam B. Colver, of the Federal Trade
Commission, in an address tonight be-
fore the Summer School for Pan-Amer-
lean and Foreign Commerce. Two OBJ
jections we're cited by Commissioner
Colver: First, that such a mark would
seem to put the stamp of equality on
inferior goods; second, that the value
of private trade marks would be
lessencd.
IF these objections can be met" he
added, "a national trade mark may be
made of the greatest aid and value to
American business. If the national
trade mark shall not be the substance
but the symbol, and if the substance
behind the symbol shall be the pledge
of the nation, then that trade mark
VIII be raised TO the dignity of being
the seal OF national honor and will COM
mard spect-which means goodwill
IN the uttermost markets Of the world"
ihe commissioner reviewed the oper-
ations of the export trade law under
which, he said, forty~four associations,
comprising more than 1000 concerns,
now are engaged actively in foreign
trade. Criticism from abroad, Mr. Col
yer said, has steadily decreased "as the
aims. theory and practice of the law
have become better understood"

Would you be kind enough to secure tho
NECESSARY facts concerning this company

opinion whether to make an Investment in
this stock or not &C. C.. O'B.
Answer-We. are tired of reading
about how much Bell Telephone and
Ford Motor stock have paid their origi-
nal holders. Nobody ever pcddlcd those
stocks, anyway. Such advertising
as you submit to us fails to take into
account the fact that the reader may
have intelligence enough to know that
there is absolutely no connection be-
tween those stocks and pudding stocks,
or even between Postum Cereal stock
and this particular pudding stock. 'Tf
every healthy inhabitant over three
years of age had only ten portions of
Sterling pudding year" the circular
says, "it would require 100000 cases

Value OF Branded
Goods i'm Present
Market Is Shown
Better Demand for Well
Known Kinds of Merchan-
disc Keeps Prices Up;
Silks Provide Example

The value Of branding merchandise
and advertising the brand to the CON
sumer is demonstrated in the present.
business situation. Makers of branded
goods are enjoying a greater volume
of sales than are the producers Of
unbranded merchandise, and also they
have been able to maintain prices much
better than have the makers of anony
nous goods.
This is demonstrated clearly in the
reports coming from the commission
houses handling we'll known brands of
ginghams and of selling agents for
branded sheetings and muslins. Re-
tailers and jobbers alike feel that
while demand may slump in general
some business viii be done and
that it is likely to be centered on goods
that are of known standard and we'll
advertised to the consumer.
In the silk market those houses that
brand their mere chandise and advertise
1t freely apparently ere doing more
business than concerns that put out
same is true in the mems clothing in
dustry and to a less extent an the
women's apparel field. tendency
toward establishing branded names in
the women's garment industry is grow
ing rapidly, and several houses that
have adopted brands recently are
understood to be meeting with success.
The makers of branded goods, how
ever, assert that the establishment Of
q brand in public favor necessitates a
lengthy and expensive advertising cam
paign. together with rigid manten-
ance of quality.

Light Buying in Cottons
Action Tends to Reduce De.
nlantI 10 Available Suphly

Light buying of cotton piece goods,
according to the latest market service
letter issued by the National Whole
sale Dry Goods Association, has had
tendency to reduce demand to the
level of supply. AS a result there is
a marked tendency on the part Of
sellers to restore some of the pre-
war trading conditions.
There are many Indications" says
the letter. that cotton goods are
reaching lower levels and that while
for a long time there has been too
much profit in the goods to make them
thoroughly safe the prices are tend
ing toward figures more nearly in
keeping with the cost of production" :"
The gradual, instead of sharp, de-
cline noted in the new price lists for
branded bleached goods, according to
the letter, has the approval of the
wholesalers. Ginghams for spring are
reported to be we'll taken by the job
bers, who, however, are unwilling to
take in the goods before December or
