slLkS-Expect Trouble
When Fall Deliveries Are Due

More trouble over contracts is be-
lleved to be facing manufacturers of
SILK goods when the delivery dates
specified in orders for fall goods come
due. Some of these contracts. said to
call for considerable yardage of silk,
were placed by the jobbers in Decem-
Der, January and February, whers
prices were approximately so per cent
above present quotations. The deliv-
cry dates, it is believed, run through
July, August and September.
The action of some Of the larges st
mem bers of the Silk Association of
America in forming contract bureau
TO adjust disputes between buyers and
sellers and the frm stand taken by
leading houses against cancellations
point to preparations for meeting the
contingency that will arise if the job
bers attempt to evade their contracts.
One OF the leading jobbers yester-
day brought up the point and asserted
that as far as he was concerned he in
tended taking in all fall goods for
which he had placed orders, even
though it means "a large loss in money
to him. 9 1t is believed that the large

influence of a late spring and resist.
ance to high prices on the part of the

found themselves overstocked in com

Many retailers are convinced that a
large portion Of the feminine public
because OF the cool weather up to the
present, has delayed buying purely
spring footwear and will Jump directly
from winter shoes into white. Deliv-
cries of white shoes are said to be
smaller than most retailers would like
to see now. while the slight relief in
the railroad congestion is bringing
forward too many blacks and browns
