Revive scouts in Mexico

BY The Associated Press
MEXICO C1TY-The Boy Scout
movement in Mexico is being re-
vived. A call has been issued by
the leaders of the movement for all
lads between twelve and seventeen
years of age to present themselves
for enrolment.
The Boy scouts. or ..fhe Corps Of
Mexican Explorers" as they are
called here. formerly enjoyed a
number of privileges from the gov
eminent which provided them with
uniforms, shoes. and even a small
money allowance to pay their ex-
penses during their excursions.
During the revolution the move
ment virtually ceased. 1t is planned
to give 1t new impulse along the
lines formerly followed.

'SlLkS-More Spring Goods
Needed in South and Wost

One of the largest silk producers in
!ne country yesterday reported press
ing requests for speedier delivery Of
spring goods to iobbers and retailers
throughout the South and West. MIXED
IN with the mail and telegraphic re-
quests for quick deliveries were in
quiries concerning the ability of the
manufacturer to ship more goods than
were ordered. '''''
Some of the largest Western and
Southern buyers of silks, it is reported
IN the market, were extremely con-
servatlye, in their orders for spring
merchandise, and ncwnfnd themselves
with low stocks on hand and a fairly
steady and consistent demand.
Demand for silks among the local re-
tailers is said to be light. In some
quarters, both inside and outside the
SILK trade, there is a disposition to
feel that the New York retailers have
banded together in "don't buy" policy
to bear down prices.
Raw silks in New York arc low
quoted at about dollar a pound un-
der Yokohama prices, but buying on
the part of goods producers has been
light and spotty for about six weeks.
Several large manufacturers stated
yesterday that they will be forced to
buy new stocks within couple of
months. One manufacturer admitted
that he was buying raw stock now in
limited manner for future use. A
rumor persists in the trade that Japan
ese interests are buying up all the
small lots of silk they can in antici-
patton of rise when the goods makers
are forced into the market later.

Observation-Disclosures
Rush Fall Shoe Deliveries

Orders for fall style shoes are being
received in the big footwear manufac-
turing centers in increasing numbers,
though, the volume of business now
going to the factories for early fall de-
livery is regarded as : comparatively
small for this season of the year. In
terest appears to center in brogue
styles for both men and women. Man
ufacturers of these lines are receiving
encouraging reports from statesmen on
the road, who already have transacted
good business. Jobbers also are SELL
ing small advance fall stocks to the
retailers. The big problem for the man.
ufacturers at present is to obtain suf-
ficient supplies Of upper leather to fill
orders for fall goods.
Manufacturers of women's and chill
dren's shoes report that the demand
from retailers is rapidly increasing.
They also assert that a good business
is being transacted in all novelty
styles. Some orders have been received
for patent leather novelties for fall.
The assortment of novelties offered to
the trade covers combinations Of al
most every available material and
shows some striking designs in pat
terms and lasts. Factories making
staples are said to be in better shape,
as business is increasing, and it seems
to be the policy of most manufacturers
to start immediate production of the
orders received.

.JEWELRY-Lo,c Exchange
Rate Boosts Diamond Prices

Importers and local cutters were in
formed by cable yesterday that the
price of rough diamonds abroad had
been advanced 10 per cent. The de-
mand from consumers continues to in
crease. and it is said that from $475
to $3.50 carat for good stones is now
considered a moderate wholesale price.
The diamond syndicate's reason for
making this latest advance is stated
to be the low value of the English
pound in the New York money market,
and the sudden fall in values expert
enced during the last few months ap-
pears to have forced the hands of the
syndicate and obliged it to make this
increase in its prices sooner than it
had originally contemplated doing. The
continued rise in the price of gold on
the London market, where it is now
quoted at over 116 paper shillings an
ounce 1912 fine, against the prev
price of 85 shillings, also is said to have
influenced the syndicate in making the
advance.
Whether or not the rise will stop at
this 10 per cent increase is doubted by
local importers, owing to the fact the
demand for the stones is greater than
ever, and the supply is kept strictly
limited by the syndicate, although some
diamond merchants are in hopes of a
greater quantity Of gems being re-
leased for marketing in the near future.
1mportations of rough and polished
stones continue, but they are far from
being sufficient to meet present re-
quirements. The situation in the for
elgn markets is said to be just as Sc
rious, with the Holland cutters keenly
competing for any stock that appears
on the market. At the last Offering of
the diamond controlling syndicate in

the same amount disbursed in the pre-
ceding year. Balance of $216,5S6 re-
