High Boots for Women
Style May Shift From Oxfords
of Last Winter

Early predictions that the women of
the country would show a stronger
liking for low shoes for fall and early
winter wear are being revised now
and predictions are current that the
style will shift to high boots, higher
years.
Manufacturers are showing ten-inch
tops on new models and those who
produce extreme styles are talking of
twelve-lnch tops. Tanners Of high
grade kid leather are encouraging the
style as it will create demand for
their. product in large quantities.
Hosiery buyers in department stores
and speciality shops are still adhering
to the belief that low shoes will lead
in style and accordingly have ordered

Signs of Strength
In Cotton Goods
Industry Are Seen
Many Are Optimistic of the
Distant Future, Although
Difficulties May Be En-
countered Before Long

Optimistic over the long pull but
pessimistic concerning the immediate
future, epitomizes the opinion of
trade leaders in the cotton goods in
dIstry at present. However, the
trade is showing unexpected strength
in many quarters. The continued high
pricc for raw cotton is one point tnat
is not clear to many Of thoss IN the
finished goods trade. The ability OF
some mills and converters to put high
prices on their goods end sell them
freely, while others have had to take
reductions in order to move goods is
another point that battles explanation.
Jobbers, who talk one way and act
another, also have thrown great
amount of uncertainty into the sltua-
ton during the past week. In some
quarters it is beginning to be beheved
that the jobbers who are loudest IN
their statements that prices cannot
show much of a decline are holding
fairly large amounts of goods, or are
tied Up on firm orders with MUS Tor
Goods to be delivered during the next
few months.
In some fabrics the situation changes
almost overnight. An instance of this
is the apparently free offerings of wide
sheetings which heretofore have been
about as scarce as anything IN the
market. The explanation for this
shift in the volume of supply lies IN
the curtailment of demand for such
goods by the makers of automobile
tops and upholstery. Until recently 1T
was not generally realized what large
volume of yardage the automobile and
tire trades were taking out of the MIR
ket One mill is reported to have
made a contract to deliver its entire
product for the next ten years to an
automobile concern. The mill owner
now has admitted to close friends that
he is worrying about the strength of
these contracts. Some of the shrewd-
est traders in the sheeting business
feel that the let-up in demand from the
motor trade will throw a large guam
tity of sheetings on the market with
in the next few months, and according
ly they are deferring their buying un-
til November or December
The belief is growing that iobbers Of
cotton dress Goods have remained out
of the market too long, that production
has been curtailed to meet the
slackened demand, and that any re-
newal of buying will find the market
unable to absorb all the orders at once.
with consequent rise in prices.
