Better Cotton Goods
Prices Expected Soon
Converters- Optimistic of Up
ward Tendency by End
of August

Despite the steady decline in gray
goods prices in second hands, converters
of cotton goods are growing more bull
ish in their price sentiments every day.
Predictions that fine yarn, hard weav-
ing goods, will show an upward price
tendency by the end of August are
more frequent in the market.
Converters base their belief on re-
ports that both retail and wholesale
stocks of goods are low and that these
distributors soon will be forced to en-
ter the primary markets for more mer-
chandise. The production of fine goods
has net been large during the last few
1fonths, and transportation tic-ups.
coupled. with slow finishing, have de-
layed the processing of goods anywhere
from six weeks to three months.
IF the jobbers order only 40 per
cent of their actual requirements" said
the president of prominent converting
house yesterday, "it will take up all
the goods we can furnish them" Con-
cening' the amount of goods specu-
fative-j jobbers and converters hold, most
Of the leading converters believe that
they are small in yardage, although
high in value, considering the financial
standing of the holders That hard
times are ahead of the spectators ap-
parently is the consensus of opinion

buying BY Retail
rad de In Evidence
lin Wonlen's Wear


The first sign Of renewal Of buy
ing activities Of retailers throughout
sthe country that are expected to break
sthe period of dullness that settled over
5Wholesale markets in Nav is evident
Al the women's apparel field. Retailers
are beginning to place orders for fall
goods and their operations in this
branch of the general dry goods trade
are being anxiously watched by whole
salers in other branches, as giving
some line on the possible trend of fall
buying as a whole.
So far the retailers are showing a
disposition to place smaller orders than
they did last year, to- stick pretty close
to staple lines and to. avoid the ex-
tremely expensive merchandise. As an
pect prices to center next fall, an
official of an organization of specially
stores throughout the country said yes
terday that most of the buyers repre-
sented in his association expected
women's suits, selling between $75 and
.$125, to be the leaders for fall. The
buyers are stunning the lowest grades
of merchandise, just as they did dur
ing the last two or three years, but
their purchases of the extremely ex-
pensive garments are limited.
: Conservative retailers are sticking to
old-time qualities--in fact, are insist
ing on quality to greater extent than
they have for some time past. They
feel that the era of easy sales Of high
priced goods is at an end At the
same time they believe that the public
will not take cheap merchandise just
because it is lows priced.
With apparel beginning to awaken,
sellers OF textiles and other commodi-
ties that go into the making of gar
ments expect an early resumption of
buying in their lines. Usually the gar
ment manufacturers anticipate their
needs in cloth and other materials be-
fore the opening of their selling season.
This year the process has been re-
versed and the garment producers are
trying to book orders for their possi-
BILE output before visiting the raw
material markets for supplies.

Business n ews
for fall after conferences with indi-
vidusl manufacturers.


Local quotations on raw silk are
irregular and far apart between indi-
yidual sellers, The weaker tone in the
here. The ups and downs of the Jap
anese market have unsettled the conf
dence Of American weavers and
throwsters, who frankly confess that
they know little about the raw silk
market, and for that reason are un-
willing to enter into contracts for fu-
ture delivery. A certain amount Of
spot business is being carried on, but
it's small in volume. Several leading
silk manufacturers yesterday ventured
the opinion that most manufacturers
had sufficient raw silks on hand to
last them another month or more, even
# business in finished goods picks UP
during the current month.

according to the bankers, is throwing

DIDN'T WAIT TO BE ASKED
hearts Fidelity Could Hardly Be Called a Success.

Elsie, about to be married, decided at the last moment to test her sweet heart; so, going to her friend. Maude the prettieSt girl she knew. she said to her. although she knew il was great risk:
 "Tll arrange for Fred to take you out tonight-a walk on the beach in the moonlight, supper, and all tha sort of thing-and I want you, in or. der to put his fidelity to the proof, to ask him for kiss
 Maude laughed. blushed, and as Sented. The plot was carried out. The next day Elsie visited her friend, and said, anXiously:
 'Well, Maude. did you ask him?"
 No, Elsie, dear"
 "No Why not?"
 'I didn't get chance he asked me first"

Her Collection of Bargains.

There had been a war wedding and now Mir. Juggins was busy earning something to foot the bills with. So he handed all his savings over to his wife with the remark:
 Look here. Hilda, my dear. you go shopping and get a home togethe- New stuff is very dear but you'll man. age all right if you go to sales and things. You're q good bargain hunt CT"
 She was. But he had forgotten that to the real huntresS of bargains low ness of price appeals rather than util- ity. Otherwise he wouldn't have been so surprised at the results.
 In the kitchen they have filing cabnet, three chairs, more or less whole, and an old desk. The dining room isn't bad. only the chairs don't match, and the dining table is one leg short. In the bedroom there are beds, of course, and in addition col lapsible boat, patent blow, several assorted German helmets and other souvenirs, two stepladders, n zinc bath and only one hole in it, and a folding settee which won't unfold.

FALL IN EUROPE'S POPULATION
Estimated Loss Through Years of War Will Reach Total of Thirty-Five
 Million People.

According to a report made by the Society for the Study of the Social Consequences of the War, which has it's headquarters at Copenhagen, be- tween the outbreak of that conflict and the middle of 1919 Europe lost about 350o0.000 people. Of this deficit in what would have been the normal pop ulation of the continent at the latter date 200Ooooo are accounted for by the decline in the birth rate and 15, 000Q00 by increased mortality incllm- ing nearly 1o,00o,000 killed in battle
 The surplus of the female sex in Europe has nearly tripled rising from slightly more than 5,000000 to 15,oo0,- 0o0 Russia and Poland suffered total losses of 100000; Germany and Aus tria together slightly less than that number; France comes next with an estimated loss of 3,340.00O; Italy fol- lows with 2.2S0.0O0; Great Britain and Ireland lost about 1,1S5,O00, and little Serbia, including war casualties. ap preaching those of the United King dom, lost 650,0Oo-Living Ago.

Look it over," said his father as the boy walked all around us, this running machine is called an auto.'
 "All right" said the boy at last. q saw enough of it." and we were al- lowed to proceed.-Exchange.

Chinese Silk in America.

The American demand for silk in China has greatly increased in the last few years until at the present time about 25 per cent of the Chinese silk is sent to the United States. This Is the result of American enterprise more than that of the Chinese. The Japanese silks had been in favor for long time with the manufacturers of this country but 1t was well un- derstood that the quality of the Chl- nese was superior, but 1t was not adapted for use in this country be- cause of the manner in which it was woven. An American manufacturer secured a moving picture reel show ing the Japanese methods of manu- facture, and as a result the China men were induced to change theirs to a system to conform with the demands of the occidental customers, and the industry has accordingly taken a great jump.

Built to Withstand Arctic Riaor.

In New England shipyard work has been begun on the Bowdoin. an auxiliary schooner which in 1921 is to carry small expedition to the frozen North, says Popular Mechanics Maga- zine. The party, numbering only six, will be led hy Donald B. McNlillan, re- membered as Pearys lieutenant on the expedition that reached the North pole. anh will have as it's object the chartng of the 1000 miles of unex- plored coast line along the western shore of Bafiin land. The littla Bowdoin is to be modification of the Gloucester fishing type, and will be only sT feet long. Obviously 1t will be small for such perilous work. It Is being built and equipped, however, with unusual care. The oak planking will be sheathed with ironwood to re- sist the abrasion of the ice, and will be lined with thick insulating materi- ei.
