Pearls
In Market Than Diamonds

because shipments Of pearls reach
ing this country are small and infre-
quent jewelry manufacturers here are
seriously embarrassed for supplies Of
these gems and are unable to take
care of current orders. 1t is reported
that tho shortage of pearls is even
moro acute than that Of diamonds, and
the demand continues to increase.
Some manufacturers declare that their
stocks are depleted and they do not
know whore to turn for replenish-
ments. Until ascertaining conditions
in the Paris and London markets, sew
eral prominent jewellers are dcferring
trips abroad in search of material.
Pearls are used chiefly in the max
ing of necklaces, which usually are
sold in large quantities in February,
Easter gifts. Retailers now in the
market to purchase stocks to carry
them over next month are having diff
ficulty in placing orders. During the
last half year the price Of pearls has
advanced to a level with that of dia-
monds, and manufacturers declare that
unless supplies are received from
abroad the trade shortly will have to
pay much more for this gem.
In tho absence of genuine pearl
necklaces manufacturers of the high
grade limitations are transacting an
enoromous business. During 1919 sales
of imitation pearls were record break
ing. As the better grades of imitation
pearls are made from material origi-
mating in Europe, there also is a short
age of these goods.

SILKS--Jobbers Arripe
In Large Numbers

Within the last few days many Of
the large silk jobbers have advanced
their prices about 10 per cent, in view
of advancing prices on new goods be-
ing quoted by producers. Buying is
more brisk at the increased prices than
it was week ago. Retailers and the
apparel manufacturers are showing
more interest in the market. and the
large jobbers in other cities are here
and are purchasing freely. Fears that
the general public will let down in the
consumption of silk because Of the high
prices seem to be dspelled, so far as
garment manufacturers and the silk
jobbers are concerned. Retailers arc
buying more cautiously and are ex-
pected to continue the hand-to mouth
policy of merchandising they have pur-
sued for some time.
At present georgette crepes appear
to be more plentiful than other weaves.
This is explained largely by the dull
ness in the waist manufacturing trade.
resulting in slackened demand for
these goods. Satin faced goods and
taffetas are in strong demand among all
classes Of buyers, and prices OF these
are showing the sharpest advances. One
grade of messaline, which a week ago
was sold for $40 yard, is now bring
ing $3.50.

Brokers' Holdings of
U. S. Steel Common Reduced

Brokers' holdings of United States
Steel common at the close of 1919 were
2.015,625 shares, or 1885 per cent of
the total issue, compared with 2,110,514
shares, or 41.52 per cent of the amount
outstanding on September 80. Between
these dates, according TO the books of
the company, the number of these
shares held in the names of individuals
increased from 2,972.511 to 3,os7 400
shares.
These figures. it was pointed out in
the financial district yesterday, en-
phasized the fact recently indicated by
the increase in the number of holders
of Steel common, that the floating sup
ply of the stock is being gradually re-
duced. Brokers' holdings on Decem-
ber 81 last compared with 2,950,43e

COTTONS-Buying No,o
Largely q Financial Question

Financing OF new purchases of cot
ton goods by jobbers throughout the
country is assuming a place Of first
Importance as the new buying period
opens this week. The jobbers are in
town now for their annual convention,
and yesterday many Of them visited
the selling. agents for large mills and
the big jobbers. They have brought
along. the financial partners and back
ers Of the jobbing concerns they repre-
sent. These financial men are carefully
canvassing the present market situa-
tion, and upon the basis of their and
ings the future purchases Of the job
bers will be made.
So far they are not operating heav-
lily. Present prices have staggered
some Of them, whereas others who
have been in close touch with the mar
ket for the last few months arc aware
of present values. However, until the
powers holding the purse strings for
the johbers decide whether it is wise
to risk large sums Of money in new
goods for this year, orders from the
jobbing trade will be spotty and small,
according to mill agents.

LEATHER-No Improvement
In Supply of Upper Leather

Shortages OF the better grades Of
upper leather is serious problem for
shoe manufacturers. Tanners and
hide and skin importers declare that
there Is no prospect for improvement
in the situation for some time. Con-
signments of goatskins, sheepskins
and calfskins are regularly received
in this country. With the exception Of
goatskins, they are not large enough
to make any impression on the mar
ket.
The leather market is strong and &C.
tive, with tanners reported behind on
deliveries. In the wool sheepskin mar
ket the small arrivals have been
quickly bought. It is reported that
there is plenty Of the poorer grades
of sheep aind calfskins available, but
manufacturers have refrained from
buying freely Of this stock as they do
not believe that goods made Of it
would find ready market. With the
it is believed that the shoe msnufac-
turers will be forced to abandon their
policy of buying only first grade ma
terisls, not !y as a method Of keep
ing prices stable, but in order to con-
tinue factory operations. Among the
shipments of hides and skins reaching
here in the latter part Of last week
were $50 bales of goatskins and
severty-five bales Of poor grade calf
skins.
Much interest was aroused in the
trade by the assurances given Satur-
day to Federal Food Administrator
Arthur Williams by leading shoe
manufacturers and dealers that the
price of footwear of standard makes
will not be advanced this winter, and
probably not before next year. The
"'joker" in this announcement promis-
ing stable shoe prices for the next
six months is that it does not cove,
the so-called "luxury Shoes" All
shoes selling for over $40 pair are
ia this class.
