SlLkS-Interest in High
Class STAPLES Reriring

Retailers and garment manufacture
ers. the largest buyers Of silk goods,
are showing more interest in the mar
ket than they have for some time past,
IN the opinion of several leading manu-
facturers. Some of the producers of
high grade goods are Of the opinion
that the worst of the slump, which be-
gan around the first. of last month. is
over. However, the price-cutting that
has been going on in the low-end silks
still persists.
Demand for silks for use during the
next two months has revived to some
extent, and inquiries for fall goods are
increasing. according to the makers Of
fine fabrics. Figuring on fall lines has
been resumed and some of the manu-
facturers are nasing their costs on raw
silk at around $l4 pound. This is from
$l.50 to 81 above the price at which raw
silks have been figured in goods already
produced for spring Or in the process of
manufacture. The big producers are
also figuring on labor at its present
price. ThN cuts of three cents a yard
made in the weavers' pay in a few Of
the Georgette mills in Paterson, say
the big mill men. are not indicative of
a general reduction in the price of
labor
A few manufacturers who were dubi-
Gus q few weeks ago concerning the
ability of the trade to pass along high
er prices are beginning to believe that
prices must advance. The more con-
servativa among them frankly expect
a diminished demand to result from
another increase.
