GOOD TRADE INDICATED
Confidence Is Felt in Silk Trade Be-
cause of Rise in Raw
Materials.

New York.-Dry goods markets are
fitful, with many uncertainties being
talked about In the silk trade more
confidence was felt following rise in
raw material in Japan and steadier
effort being made here to stimulate
fall buying of goods. Values have be-
come attractive to many skilled buy
erS, and some of the offerings of good
merchandise are sound enough to war
rant investment on the part of those
who intend to keep store and who well
come an opportunity to secure lower
prices than can be offered at retail.
In the wooden goods trade there is
pronounced effort bel! = made to hold
prices and to prevent any offering at
sacrifice prices. Cancellations are be-
ing accepted quietly in many cases, and
it is not uncommon to hear agents say
that buyers will have to come TO them
with higher prices later in the year.
In the dress goods divisions the cutters
are very much unsettled about values
and are looking for substantial price
concessions before undertaking new
business for spring. Much publicity is
being given to the constant reduction
of working forces in the trade.

BEGINNING OF DECLINE
In Prices Is Indicated BY Recess
sions in Dun's Index Number,
Just Issued.

Cincinnati, O.-That the movement
toward price readjustment, which has
recently attracted countrywide atten-
ton, has not been entirely confined to
retail channels, is evidenced by Dun's
Index Number of wholesale quotations.
At 1892, 149, the June 1 compilation, as
based on the estimated per capita con-
sumption of each of the many cOmmo-
dities included in the record, is only
about one-half of l per cent under the
maximum figure of $263,332 of month
previous; but the change in the index
number, slight as it is, may mean the
beginning of a gradual, if irregular,
recession to a more natural price ba-
sis. 1t is significant in this cOnnec-
ton that a larger decline on June l
was chiefly prevented by the persist
ent strength of grain prices, and that
market tendencies thus far this month
have been mainly in a downward di-
rection, with lower quotations not in
frequently named on forward ship
ments than are ruling on spot deliv-
eieS. .....@

BUMPER CROPS
FOR FRANCE
YIELD OF 100000, 600 BUSHELS OF
WHEAT is PREDICTED
EXPERTS.
One Million Acres More of Grain
Crops Planted This Year Than Last,
Half of Which Was Sown in Wheat
Largest Crop in Country's History

Paris-Another months of good
growing weather, with favorable har-
vesting conditions, will be worth be-
tween 3.OOO,000,O00 and 4,O00,OOO,OOO
francs to France, in the opinion OF
agricultural experts.
In 1919 a poor year, France raised
173OOO.OOO bushels of wheat and had
to buy 150,0O0,O00 bushels abroad.
This year is declared to be the best IN
the memory of farmers for all crops
with 100000 acres more seeded than
last year. The crop is estimated by
experts of agricultural department at
least 501psf cent better, bringing the
yield to 26O,OO0,Oo0 bushels.
Reasonable restrictions, with mix
ture of rye and cornmeal, will exc out
the food supply further, in the opinion
of the Revictualizing Department, so
that France virtually may be indie
pendent with regard to breadStuffS for
the year beginning next August, which
cost her last year 1867 100000 francs
to keep the people supplied with
bread. The most the RevictualiZing
Minister expects To pay next year is
l, 100000 francs.
The devastated regions where there
are still little more than temporary
rooted ruins and hastily thrown up
shacks to shelter the population, fur
nished two-thirdS of the increased
seeding with 100000 acres more of
wheat than year ago, and with a mil
lion acres more of all grain crops.
They compare favOrably with the best
of Frances wheat-growing country,
contrary to pessmistic opinions re-
garding recovery of the trench-lacer-
ated and shell-plowed land.
American tractor implements had
their share in the promised fine result,
for most of the seeding of Northern
France was accomplished through
their use.

Soviet Masses Huge Force.

WarSaw.-BOlShevik are pouring
into the Kiev region, backed by the
greatest number of divisions the Poles
have faced, according to reports re-
ceived. The Poles are withdrawing
their main forces. The invaders are
entering the Kiev district from the
south through territory first Overrun
by the cavalry of General Budenny.
Opposite Kiev the BOlsheviki have en-
cOuntered difficulties in crossing the
Dneiper owing mainly to the fact that
the bridges had been destroyed by the
Poles. Heavy fighting is reported at
various points in the region, the Poles
giving ground only where they are out
numbered. BOlshevik concentration
for the recapture of Kiev has been in
progress for a month. Thirty-three
divisions have been identified in the
concentration through captured pris-
Oners. 1t is known also that there are
other divisions, which have not been
identified, the computation indicating
that the Bolsheviki never before have
used such large numbers in the fight
ing line against the Poles. In Febru-
airy there were only seven divisions OF
Soviet troops along the entire front,
but beginning with the spring often
sive their numbers began to increase.

PARIS SEES
SIGNS OF UNREST
RESERVATIONS NOTED BY lTAL-
IAN, POLISH, HUNGARIAN AND
AUSTRIAN CABINETS.
Economic Anxieties and General Un-
rest Said to Be Behind Resigna-
'tions-German Situation Is Being
Watched With Greatest Interest.

Paris.-The simultaneous resigna-
ton of four European cabinets-the
Italian, Polish, Hungarian and Aus
trian-is viewed in official circles here
to be significant, chiefly as demon
strating the difficulty of adapting poll
tics and economic condition to the
peace terms.
The immediate cause of the resig-
nations were different, but behind
them, says a well-informed French
diplomat, are economic anXieties and
general unrest, with lingering pangs
on the part of the defeated nations
not reconciled to the sacrifices de-
manded of them.
The young parliamentary Govern
ments, he declared probably will be
susceptible to these crises for long
time, until the political situation has
crystallized and the various parties
have become organized so as to pro-
vie homogeneous majorities behind
the cabinets.
The diplomat pointed out that the.
older Governments, Italy, for instance,
were suffering from similar trouble
during the transitOry period of recov-
cry from the war waste. The bread
situation was said to be the immedi-
ate cause for the resignation of Pre-
mier Francisco \. Nitti, but this, the
diplomat said, he did not consider to
be the determining influence, but rath-
er merely one incident among num-
Der that, in lie absence of any homo
genous majority in Parliament, make
the Government of the country most
difficult problem.
OF the five crises now in course of
solution, only the Italian and German
crises are causing anxiety here, Off
cal circles declared.
1t was said the advent of former
Premier Gi0ltti in the Italian situa-
ton provoked apprehension of a ten
dency on the part of Italy toward a
separate policy with regard to Ger
many.
The German situation was being
watched with the greatest interest be-
cause of the possibility of reaction
that might mean resistance to eXecU-
ton of the treaty of Versailles.
