With double Barreled

In tn customary Logan

His expression was Entirely

There was an Interval
Of exquisite Silence.

Yiciously. 81 Have

COttons

Record low prices for the year were
established in some constructions in
cotton goods in the gray or unfinished
goods market. Toward the close of the
week 16 cents yard was freely quoted
by Southern mills for the 64-6O print
cloths for delivery in the last quarter
Of the year. Finished goods in most
cases are still based on higher gray
goods prices than those ruling in the
market at present. Actual business in
finished goods was small during the
week, and johbers and retailers have
yet to buy the bulk of their stocks for
next springs selling. Orders were
more plentiful for those goods on which
sellers have guaranteed prices. Export
business was spotty, but the many in
quiries received are leading exporters
to believe that good foreign business
will ensue once the market is stabil-
ized.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-02
Buying in July Below
Average for This Season

Buying over the country as whole
during July, according to the monthly
merchandising activity report Of the
Credit Clearing House, based on more
than 100000 actual transactions in
volving over s15o,ooo,cOO. was below
the average for this season of the
year.
although many buyers are in the
different markets." says the report,
"they are mostly representatives of the
larger houses. Small buyers, who are
essential to good business, either have
not come to the markets or have come
and gone without making the usual
purchasers.
Comparatively few new accounts
have been opened, as most Of the buy
ers seem to prefer dealing with those
whose merchandise they have handled
heretofore"

.Jewelry

Activity In wholesale jewelry last
week continued below the pace set
during the last two or three years, but
was above that of pre-war years, ac-
cording to leading manufacturers.
While it is admitted that jewelry sales
have fallen off recently, the depression
is less marked than in other trades,
despite the fact that jewelry is one of
the first commodities to react to eco
nomic trends. Manufacturers feel Sc
cure in present prices, largely because
they did not show the abnormal in
creases registered by textiles, leather
etc. Department stores are replenish-
ing stocks to greater extent than are
the exclusively jewelry shops. Their
purchases, however, are still light and
the heavy buying for the Christmas
trade is not expected before the last
Of the month. Some manufacturers as
sert that their present prices will hold
until the end of the year at least.
