Jewelry Sales Above Normal

While present sales of jewelry at
wholesale are smaller than they we're
earlier in the year and smaller than
last year at this time, they are in
excess of the normal distribution be-
tore the war. This fact was the sub
!ect of comment yesterday in the
)ewelry trade, when the present So
called industrial depression" came up
'or discussion. Manufacturing and
%,holesaling jewellers are keeping a
c!ose watch upon the developments in
otner trades. and many of them are
admitting frankly that they expected
a reaction from the letdown in the
textile, shoe and kindred industries
long before this. Jewelry being a
luxury rather than a necessity, it is
argued, normally would be the first
commodity to feel change in the buy
ing. activity of the general public, but
II Is felt that ct present the sale of
lewelry is more brisk than in apparel
or textile lines. This is partly ex-
Planned by the jewellers by the fact
.nat lewelry showed less of a price
ADVANCE than did most other commodi-
TIES, and hence is not an object of
the public's war on inflated values.

Leather for Export

;. HIDE and leather prices continue
little more than nominal in the dull
market now prevailing. Some contracts
tor finished leather for export to
scandinavian countries are being nut
through at what are believed to he
larry firm prices. The Amalgamated
Leather Company is reported to be
working on 100000 dozen skins at its
Wilmington tanneries for export to
Denmark. Another large sale Of glazed
KID skins is reported to have been
made to Copenhagen buyer. A better
spirit is noticeable in the shoe manu-
1ac1urlng and wholesale trades. but as
yet the shoe makers are making few
purchases of leather. Both foreign
ana domestic hides are accommodating In
the hands of dealers and importers
under the influence of the protracte
dull trading period.

Money Hurts Cotton

The cotton goods market, being ex.
tremely sensitive to general Industrial
aeVeiopments, has shown a strong
3earlsh tendency during the last two
Gays IN sympathy with the stock mar
heC ana the raw cotton market. Just
how strong this influence is it is i'm
possible to determine, but traders are
talking much of the action of the stock
market and the general financial and
INDUSTRIAL siluation. There is every
indlcation that money is having large
influence on the goods market. BUYERS
TOR the leading jobbing houses admit
that they are being restricted in the
puyIng operations by the financial
neads OF thelr houses. With quantities
Of high-priced goods still coming to
them on old orders, it is believed that
few of the jobbers are in a position

Road Statesmen
Now Doing Better
Than Home Force
Many Wholesalers Expect
Travelling Men TO Do Bulk
of the Seasons Business
in Textiles and Apparel

Road business is better than office
business This is the experience at
present Of many wholesalers and manu-
facturers of textiles and apparel Many
of them expect the bulk Of the season
business will be done by their travel
ing Representatives rather than by the
house statesmen, who wait on the buy
ers who visit the market.
The present experience is almost d.
rectly counter to the marked inclina-
ton of retailers and smaller whole
salers throughout khe country to do
business in the of\es of the manu-
facturers or distributors from whom
they bought their goods during the
last four years. The necessity for the
buyer to visit the market in order to
seek out merchandise which was scarce
is no longer in evidence, and the
costliuess of railroad fares and hotel
accom- mediation has led many buyers to
cut down the number OF their trips to
the market and allow the sellers to
shoulder these items of expense, it is
believed.
Another feature that is shifting the
trend TO road buying is that the finan-
cal heads of retail concerns are hold
ing the lines more closely over the
buyers than ever before. and their APP
prevail must be obtained before orders
are placed. This is impossible with
the buyer in the market and the fnan-
cial man at home. Many sellers have
had the experience this season of calls
from buyers who looked over the line
without placing an order, only TO be
followed by the receipt of orders later
from road statesmen who struck the
buyer when quick conference with
the financial man was possible.
Investigation in the apparel and
textile trades leads to the conclusion
that more statesmen will go on the
road within the next few weeks than
have been seen in several years,

Commercial Credit

The use of checks rather than cur
rency for the payment of small bills
was urged last night by J. Harry Ire
goe, secretary-treasurer Of the Nation
al Association of Credit Men, follow
ing meeting of the organization COM
mittee on banking and currency.
The committee at its meeting to-
day" said Mr.. Tregoe, expressed the
opinion that every effort should be
made to have checks become more COM
pletely the nations real currency. Ev-
cry business man should have a bank
account and pay his bills by check The
accounts of individuals should also be
paid by check and the use of currency
restricted The boarding of currency
is also unsafe, and by getting this
boarding out Of its secret places and
into the banks, By peoples carrying
but little currency in their pockets and
using the check book as recommended
above, we can quickly cure one of our
present problems and probably reduce
the crime wave that has currency for
its chief attack.
On summing up present conditions
IT. the bank and credit fields the COM
mittee realized that the demand for
bank loans was increasing rather than
decreasing. The reason for this would
extend back perhaps into the pre-was
war period has not been replaced by
savings, and borrowers are endeavoring
largely TO have credit do the work Of
capital. Trans pOrtation conditions have
aggravated the situation by tying up
large sums In long transit of comm cd =
tiles, not only depriving the con-
sumers and buyers returns for these
commodities but encouraging the ham
ding of larger stocks in order that
current business might not be affected
All of this has produced a strain, which
requires discreet handling and the close
cooperation Of every unit concerned.
Merchants should voluntarily curtail
rather than be forced to curtail. Credit
should not be required TO do the work
Of capital. Capital can only be re-
placed by savings, and savings means
thrift, with the wage Garner and
economy in every department of the
government and business enterprise.
"The situation is not alarming,
seem to have been passed successfully,
and it is now incumbent upon every
one to observe the proper principles, to
live orderly, TO work and to save, to
curtai and ease the strains of our
credit powers that are causing so many
problems to the banker and disappoint-
ments to the borrower.
In the opinion of the committee the
Federal Reserve Bank had demon
strated its usefulness in this situation
The Federal Reserve Banks are acting
with discretion"

Big Demand for Tools

ANY slowing down in some industries
Is yet TO be reflected in the demand
sor small tools and general lines of
asrdware. According to manufacturers
ana dealers in hardware and tools, the
oemand is still far ahead of the pres

tories, and available supplies of made
UP goods in the hands of selling agents
ana wholesalers are at low ebb. The
distribution of small tools, such as
saws. hammers, drills. etc. to home
asers Is increasing. The manufacturers
ana wholesalers believe this is due
largely to the high prices asked by
carpenters, plumbers, etc, for repair

Jack Johnson Must Stay
In Jail Until September
specta, Dispatch to The Tribune

CHICAGO, July 27.-Wnether he likes
it or not, Jack Johnson will have to
stay in Jail, at least until September.
This was the dictum of United States
District Attorney Clyne to-day in re-
peating that the government will Wig
orously oppose any move to obtain
Johnson's freedom On bail.
There is no chance for Johnson be-
ing released on bond at the present
time" Mr. Clyne said. johnson is a
fugitive from justice, and the Federal
law is specific on this point. He can
not be freed until the District Court
bears his case"
Inasmuch as Federal Judge Carpen-
ter, who heard the case of the former
heavyweight champion orr ginally. has
been Ill and will not be in condition
TO take up the matter until September,
it is thought I'LL Artha" will have
to put UP with accommo dations at
Joliet for u short TIME at least.
