Apparel


The first Of the fall buyers in the
women's apparel field came into the
ed this week. The early buyers placed
their orders carefully and for a limit
ed quantity Of goods. Apparently the
apparel trade will proceed along a
hand-to-mouth policy this season, with
the retailers feeling their way at every
step and carrying thc smallest amount
of stock with which they can do bust
ness. Prices show some reductions, as
much as 20 per cent in many cases, but
manufacturers are firm in the convic-
ton that further recessions are i'm
possible until November at the earliest,
and possibly not then. In mems cloth
ing more retailers asserted their
willingness to buy, but few of them
acted upon this impulse.

Increased Employment
Offsets June Declines

ALBANY, July 1.-THE preliminary
tabulation of June reports to the Bp.
reau of Statistics of the State Indus.
trial Commission shows little chanr
in the total number of workers en-
ployed in the state. This tabulstcn
includes reports from 1,480 manufae-
turers who employ about $4,000 WORK,
ers. Dull business in the textile ana
clothing industries accounts for most
of the larger decreases of the month.
The most notable change in employ
ment from May to June was 8 per
cent. decrease in the textile industries
The downward tendency of employment
in the knit goods industry was ac'
celerated by labor troubles. ln
woolen goods industries showtthe e.
fects of an unfavorable market. ).
A further decrease of 4 per cent y
the number of workers employed "a
the clothing industries occurred. Open.
tions in the women's clothing indusM
continued to decline, the reports SHOW.
ing 10 per cent fewer employees tnls
the May reports. The effects OF SEC.
business in the women's furnlsnlu!.
and millinery industries are shown u
marked reductions in employment.
Tanneries again reported sllgns ~. ~
ductions in working forces. the snus
industry shows an increase in employ.
ment, but this is due TO the settiemsel,,
of labor troubles in Rochester, rs1a..
than to an improvement in Dusinssss
conditions. The New York City st.'ls
in the fur goods industry causeu
great reduction in the number Of v0r'
ers employed.

Leather

Few changes were noted In The
leather and shoe markets last week.
Hides were held at lightly firmr figure,
than the week preceding, which saw
some sales at low prices. Hides are
accumulating, but Importers especially
are holding their prices firm. Tanners
have curtailed their processing opera
tions and arc buying only limited
quantities Of hides. The shoe trades
were dull without any sign Of revival
Jewclry
New features were lacking in the
jewelry trade. Retailers for the most
part reported their business compare
lively dull and this was reflected in
the Wholesale markets. The basic
metals, platinum, silver and gold, re-
mained steady throughout the week.
Uncertainty concerning the possible
supplies of platinum caused an almost
complete stoppage Of trade in that
metal. Diamonds were firmly held,
with some importers reporting higher
prices in the Dutch market. Watch
and clock makers assert their produc-
ton is still below the demand, both
for the domestic and foreign trade. A
certain amount Of American made
jewelry continues to go into foreign
consumptive channels, particularly
timepieces, sifverware and cheap jew
elry.

Jobbers and retailers were more prev
alent in the market last week, but
their buying was limited. They appear
to expect still further recessions in
prices by mills, but selling agents for
the producers are firm in the convic-
tion that further reductions are i'm
possible. Instances Of inability Of COM
mission houses to fill quick orders are
multiplying, and sellers are more en-
phatic in their statements that no sur
plus of goods exists in primary hands.
Sales of goods for the week at the
Fall River mills were the lightest in
some months, reaching about $4,000
pieces. A line of voiles and poplins for
spring, 1921, was offered by leading
mill agent with the statement that much
of the production had been sold quietly
before the opening. Gray goods touched
new low level for the year and are
now about where they were last No

Silks

Little progress toward swinging into
a new season was made by the silk
trade. A few buyers were in the mar
ket, but they confined their operations
mainly to picking up distress" goods
forced on the market by the need for
ready cash. The taking over Of the
Klots Throwing Company by three
trustees and the opening of negotia-
tions toward possibly similar action
in the case of Rudolph Seanger, Inc,
furnished evidence that some of the
largest factors in the trade are hard
pressed for money. Both firms are con-
sidered solvent, but pressed for ready
money. Raw silk slumped again, and
the few buyers who were active with
drew from the market The market

Knit Goods

Hosiery and underwear were dull and
more mills closed down or went on
part-time production. Knit underwear
for spring which will be offered to the
trade soon will show 20 to 25 per
cent advance over last year, according
TO- selling agents. Lower prices for
silk hosiery and underwear have failed
to lead to activity vet.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-12

Extreme quietude reigned in the
woolen and worsted markets, so far as
the mills were concerned. Jobbers and
clothing manufacturers in need of
ready cash continued to liquidate their
cloth holdings at low prices. The fact
that such liquidation has continued

mills are know to be fairly we'll sup

INSANITY AND CRIME.

The Legislature now in session
would do well to consider a hiatus
in the law to which District At
torney Gutenberg calls attention
in connection with the case of DR.,
f. A. Blanchard, who some time
ago killed his brother-in-law in
this city and without trial for the
crime was committed to jackson
on the ground of his mental ire
sponsibility.
It is now asserted that Dr.
Blanchard has recovered his rea-
son and application is to be made
by his counsel for his release
from custody.
Mr.. Gutenberg lays down the
proposition that if, when a man
kills another, he is insane, he
should not be punished as Grim
inal. That, of course, is not
arguable. But, under our present
laws, Mr.. Luzenberg adds, there
is nothing to prevent the release
Of such man when he is appar-
emily again rational, though he
may, after his release, develop the
same irrational tendencies and be-
come serious menace to society.
What he suggests is IL amend
ment or new statute which will
make it impossible to liberate
from the States criminally in
sane department any patient I'M
less there is a reasonable guaran,

Don't Prod Your
Liver to Action
Mr. ovsreomes biiiousness, constips-
tion, Sick Headache, Quickly. No
Gripping or Pain. Guaranteed.

Tho organs of digestion, assimila-
liver and bowels-are closely allied,
and the proper action of any of these
organs Is largely dependent upon the
correct functioning of all the others.
whipping your liver into action
with calomel or forcing your bowels
with irritating laxatives or strong
cathartics is great mistake. A bet
ter, safer plan is strengthening and
toning the whole digestive and elmina-
tive system with Natures Remedy
(NR Tablets), which not only brings
Immediate relief, but genuine and last
ing benefit. 1t acts on the stomach,
liver. bowels and kidneys, improves
digestion and assimilation, overcomes
biliousness, corrects constipation and
quickly relieves sick headache
Get your system thoroughly cleansed
and purified for once; stomach, liver
and bowels working together in Wig
orous harmony, and you will not have
to take medicine every day-just take
one mr. Tablet occasionally to keep
your system in good condition and al
ways feel your best. Remember II is
easier and cheaper to keep well than
1t is to get well
Get a 25c box and try it with the
understanding that It must give you
greater relief and benefit than any
bowel or liver medicine you ever used
or no pay. Natures Remedy (NR
Tablets) is sold, guaranteed and
recommended by your druggist.

The political managers in the
United States of America might
as well accept the fact that wo-
men are now a factor in politics
that cannot be ignored nor evaded.
In most Of the states the woman is
a voter and in a short time, no
doubt, the ratification of the suf-
frage amendment will make them
voters in every state on complete
equality with men. Their rights
as voters will be exactly the same
as the mems and their powers as
voters, If they exercise them as
actively, will be no less than the
powers of the men. And they are
going to exercise them. Make no
mistake about that. The notion
that they are to be silent partners
in politics will have to be dispelled.
They have not battled all these
years for right which they do
not intend to use. On the con-
'trary they fought for a weapon as
we'll as fer a principle. aid that
weapon they will WELD more
energetically, and. perhaps, more
effectively, under some circum-
stances, than the men. For they
come into politics with the ex-
hilaration of triumph, with the
glow of youth and with the en-
thusiasm Of purpose. The right
of suffrage has lost its novelty
among men, and too many of them
think so little of it that they leave
political management almost en-
tirelv in the hands Of largely self
constituted political bosses, who,
in retirement, decide upon policies
and candidates which the mass Of
masculine voters complacentlv ac-
cept, being too indolent politically
and too busy personally to do
otherwise. But the women, it is
already manifest. are not going
to take that attitude toward po-
litical activities not for while
at any rate.-St. Louis Globe

from is states give over 233,00O
votes against the proposed meas
ure and only $4,000 in favor Of it,

Significant as is the vote, it is
really secondary in Importance
to the fact that the farmers have
at last devised a practical method
of expressing their opinion on ma
tional matters. Having thus de-
vised a means by which they can
quickly and readily voice their
sentiment, they are in position to
repudiate a lot Of people who have
without warrant claimed to repre-
sent the farmers and who have
voiced their own sentiments rath-
er than those of farmers. And
through their national organiza-
ton the farmers are in position
to enforce due consideration for
their views and their interests.
