DYE IMPORTS
RELIEVE MARKET

The dye situation somewhat improved
during the week by the receipt of the ship
ment brou sht from Europe by the Tou-
raine, although it was reported that most
of the goods were already covered by
orders from the trade here. 1t seems that
the sold as arrive" situation OF the war
days is still TO be considered, and mills
are coming to the point where they are
ordering several months ahead to cover
requirements. Prices for the week ruled
firm. with an active demand.
The trade is watching with much, in
terest the progress of the Longworth Dill
hearings before the Senate committee.
According to the time limit set by the last
Congress the temporary license system to
control imports was extended to Janu-
ary Is.
Considerable attention was given during
the week to the reports coming through
which say the British system or control
ling dye imports has not proved satisfac-
tory. Many complaints have been received
that the industries have suffered from
shortage of supplies and that change is
desired
A British manufacturer. w. Mann, says
American manufacturers have any guam
tity of certain dyes which are needed in
England, but producers there have been
unable to get the necessary licenses. Con-
sequently the stocks abroad have de-
creased and prices have worked higher,
while all the time goods in large quanti-
ties have been in sight
Licensing is urged here by the dye
manufacturers, and unless II is adopted
some Of the producers have announced
they will promptly turn their plants into
other lines of trade.

with buyers showing little interest in Of
fers for new crop silks for delivery in May,
June and July.
Shanghai cables show an active market
in Tsatlee silks, with stocks low and prices
rapidly advancing in sympathy with Yoko-
hama and Canton. Lack of supplies is
limiting business in steam fixtures, and
reelers are holding their stocks for higher
prices. Tussah silks are firm.
Stocks of Far East raw silks are re-
ported low in Europe, with exchange rates
acting as bar to importations, which Is
greatly handicapping the Lyons market.
The good demand from European sources
is causing advances in the Milan market,
according to the latest cables.
In the local market trading has been
checked by the advances in Japan, rs
buyers were taken off their feet by the
quotations from Yokohama. Importers
seem willing to wait and not force the
situation. Thrown silk in the local mark ct

expected. The throwsters are getting

FIannels Defined
for Tariff Purposes

The so-called flannel cases which have
bcen pending final determination before
the customs tribunals for many months
were decided during the week by the
United States Court Of Appeals in Wash
ipgton In favor OF the importers. This
decision is a decided victory to importers
Of woollens and a severe blow to the
Domestic manufacturers, who nave been
fighting to have the term 'flannels," as
used in the Tariff act. restricted to a
limited number of imported fabrics, such
as goods used in the manufacture Of
underwear. 1t reverses a decision by the
Board Of United States General Appraisers
in which tie contention Of the importers
was denied.
The ruling places broad Interpretation
upon the term 'flannels'' as used in the
Tariff act and permits the entry OF a
wide variety of fabrics used in the manu-
facture of mems clothing, dresses, &c.

Textile Men Oppose
Truth in Fabric Bill,
Says Association

An informal inquiry conducted by the
SIX Association OF America among the
leading textile men finds that they con-
denim unqualifiedly the Truth in Fabric
legislation. which advocates truthful
desisnauon of the precise contents oi
| faorics.'
All seem to be in agreement, the asso-
ciation says. that better laws are needed
but point out that a bill which would have
ior ITS purpose the prevention or mis-
oranding and Misrepresentation, ana also
false advertising. would better meet the
needs or the public than one requiring the
formula of manufacture.
The law" one textile man stated.
should be aimed exclusively at the pre-
vention of fraud in labelling, selling and
advertising, and any attempt to compel
textile manufacturers TO place on their
goods the formula of their production is
contrary to the interests of the public as
we'll as the manufacturers. 1t could be
advocated only by ignorant idealists.
THE proposal" said another well known
textile manufacturer, lis economically un-
sound, and would be prejudicial instead
Of beneficial to the consumers, for whose
benefit such legislation is advocated. My
interest in the subject is entirely disin-
terested one. If 7 had a selfish concern
in the proposed legislation l would be
in favor of it, because the mills with
which am associated manufacture prod
ucts that contain only pure raw material.
They would be advocated by such legisla-
ton. If any advantage could result from
so i'll conceived a project"
Prompted by Information that during
the present session of Congress there VIII
be offered one or more bills for the pur-
pose sought by those interests insistent
upon a labelling law, the Silk Association
warns members that unless the several
Industries which would be seriously af-
fected by such legislation unite to COM
bat present efforts in favor Of the law,
such legislation will stand a good chance
of enacfment
