Leather

The absence of real developments in
the shoe and leather markets last week
was marked. Shoe manufacturers are
getting few orders, mostly for staple
goods, but the bulk Of fall buying, esti-
mated on basis of past years, is still
to be done. The tanners and hide
dealers still suffered from a lack of
demand for their wares, and what bust
ness that was put through was nego-
tisted at lower than open market prices.
Practical suggestions for lowering
prices of footwear include the use of
heavier Innings and lighter uppers. 1t
is contended that the shoe upper is
subjected to little wear and that
heavier lining will provide the requi-
site firmness to keep the shoe in shape.
Reductions on shoe manufacturers' list
prices are still small. One firm last
week made another cut of IS and 40
cents in it's prices of women's shoes.
Retailers continued their cut price
sales to clear out the remainder of
summer stocks.

Woolens

A little activity was noted in The
women's wear fabric market last week,
but this was confined mostly to the
novelty cloths, such as plaids for skirts
and fine cloakings. Trade in staples
was dull. In mems wear fabrics few
sellers reported slight increases in or
ders, but as rule selling agents as
serted that new orders were scarcer
than ever before. Some cancellations
continue to be received Little prog
ress toward spring openings has been
made, and the few spring lines that
have been shown have failed to create
much enthusiasm among buyers, al
though sellers report some orders. It
is expected that a belated demand for
heavyweight fabrics will appear late
this month or early in September.
New-York tribune., 1920-08-02
Silks

Raw silk last week lost moro than
was regained In recent rises and sunk
to the lowest levels yet recorded since
the break in the spring. Prices now
are only slightly above pre-war levels,
and certainly above the cost of pro-
duction in Japan. New developments
were lacking in the finished goods mar
kets, and leading sellers are making no
attempt to push sales at this time. 1t
is felt that the last two weeks in Au-
gust will see some activity in the trade
because of the depleted condition of
retailers and wholesalers stocks. Gar
ment makers are not yet ready to op-
crate freely in the silk market, and
probably will not be heavy purchasers
until more activity is recorded in their
own lines. Some lines of staple silks
are now selling at what producers as
sert is 25 to 80 per cent below the cost
of production. Mills are estimated to
have curtaled production about 60 per
cent at present.

Apparel

A larger volume Of business in fall
garments for women was registered in
last week The mems clothing market
remained on it's former dull basis. AL
though manufacturers of women's gar
ments assert that they are maintaining
prices, buyers for retail establishments
and bankers who handle the accounts
Of manufacturers assert that the latter
are reducing quotations. The deadlock
over prices continued in the knitted
underwear and hosiery markets, with
manufacturers inclining more to the
policy of closing their mills because of
lack Of orders.

 The estates, which include the fa- ,,,o1,s mansion, have an area of 1906 acres and the market value is put at s2ss GOO for which sum it has been 5ecided to appeal. They have been owned and occupied by the Haigs continuously for more than seven centuries.

HOPE TO EXPORT GREAT STOCK
 OF WHISkEy
Plan Is to Have Needed Pa pers Filed Jan. 16 and
 Liquor Sent Out Later

! Washington, Jan. 7.---Arrangements may be made by which the great stock of whisl1ey in warehouses here can be exported, thus saving heavy losses to the owners. It is suggested this may be done by preparing in advance all necessary papers for the exportation prior to Jan. 16 when the Nationwide e Prohibition Amendment becomes ef- fecttve.
 Whether this would be considered a violation of law Is the problem at is. sue, and it Is understood the Treasury :, Department will request Attorney 1 General Palmer for an opinion on the subject. With all the requisite papers ready before Jan. 16, sending of the whiskey out of the country could be delayed until transportation facilities are obtained. It is argued the busi- ness transaction would be of date prior to Jan. Is. 1 It Is estimated that about SO, o0o, ,e0o gallons of whiskey remain in the warehouses, with an estimated value of $400, ,000, GOO. There is much discus sion among congressman as to what relief can be afforded to the owners but none met the requirements. The expcrtation would solve the problem and make legislation for the benefit oi : the whiskey owners unnecessary.

GASOLINE MAY
 RUN DETROIT'S
 TROLLEY CARS

Detroit, Jan. '. Mayor James Couzens yesterday proposed to the Common Council that the city of De- troit establish complete nnunicipally owned and operated street railway, system, equipped with the newly de- vised Ford gasolene street cars. The Mayor asked that S15 100000 bond issue for construction of the system be submitted to the people at the
 election April 5.
 The plan calls for building 100
 miles of new track and taking over
 fifty-fve miles of existing track. The
 system would be independent. self
 sustaining and permanent, yet cap able of being linked up with the ex-
 isting system, Mayor Couzens as-
 serts.
 r The use of the Ford gasoline street cars would save s2,ooo, ,o0o, ac- cording to the Mayor, because the
 cars can be built cheaply and would eliminate the necessity of installing electric equipment
 ..I have been watching the deve1- opment of the gas street car, ex- pIained the Mayor last night, land recently I had a, conference with MT Ford. at which time he showed me l the several engines and plans for the car. In discussing the details with | his engineers was assured that the l gas street car could be built for 3 | maximum of s5,oo0 a car. whicf | would reduce the cost of car equip rnerlt 50 per cent"
 If approved, work on the system l will begin the day after the election and could be completed in two years | said the Mayor.

HUMAN BONES
 DISCOVERED IN
 LANDERR'S HOUSE

Paris, Jan. 7-Police officials in vestigating charges against Henri Landru, the alleged "Bluebeard" who is accused of staying a number of women and destroying their bodies. claim to have found about fifteen pounds of human bones in a house where Landru lived. Among the bones was a skull in a good state of preservation. Some of the bones had been cut with a saw, the teeth of which left peculiar marks which were easily recognizable it is said, the saw with which the work was done has been found and that marks made by its teeth coincide with those found on the bone fragments.
 Inquiry as to alleged operations of Landru's wife. the Eclair says, shows she was a devoted accomp1ice'' of her husband and .'knew of everything he did" It is also charged their children aided in disposing of prop erty secured by Landru in the course of his alleged crimes.
