SOUTH CAROLINA BOOM
FOR HOOVER REPORTED

0cuWmcuI 1Or Ills nomination
Finds Place in Newspapers
of the State.
COLUMBIA. s. c.. January 81 (Spe-
ciaD.-The Herbert Hoover boom for
President is finding support in the
upper part Of South Carolina, accord
ing to reports reaching Columbia.
The ardent hope that Hoover is a
democrat is frequently expressed,
while many South Carolina democrats
do not hesitate to say that the party
should cut its platform to At Hoover
if it can do so without sacrificing
underlying principles.
Hoover's strength in South Carolina
appears to lie in the fact that he
played no favorites when he was
food administrator and displayed re-
markable executive ability in this
capacity. as well as profound business
capacity.
Next to Woodrow Wilson, a one
time South Carolinian, Hoover holds
first place in the regard of many
South Carolinians. The sentiment in
favor of electing Hoover President is
beginning to find expression in the
press of the state.

it is learned that other announce

be Forthcoming as the situation now
stands. Hoover will be the unanimous
choice of the California democracy for
President of the United States.
Confident Of Hoover.
I'VE can win with Hoover" is the
feeling that is predominant in the
minds of California democrats, who
until Hoover sentiment developed
were plainly in the gloomS with re-

In the meantime replies have been
pouring in to the committee of thirty,
which sent out hundreds of letters
sounding out sentiment toward the
Hoover candidacy. More than so per
cent of the replies favor immediate
action in favor of Hoover and the
remainder are about evenly divided
between the non-committals and those
who favor Johnson or some other
candidate.

New IIIumI,ator for Mlcroscope

Prof. Alexander Silverman has in
vented a new illuminator for the MI
croscope, whose special advantage IL
that 1t gives a very strong light upon
the object examined. so that opaque
and translucent bodies can be as readi.
ly studied as transparent ones. The
top Of the object or the side can be
seen with all the variations Of its sur
face. 1t is particularly valuable in
testing samples Of metal since 1t
shows the presence Of blow holes and
pits and much detail not hitherto vis-
ible. 1t is likewise useful to textile ex-
perts since 1t shows the threads of a
fabric from every angle and Is also
much appreciated BY bacteriologists.

COTTONS-Under,oear
And Hosiery Markets Dull

Rather more than the seasonal dull
ness is reported by selling agents for
hosiery and underwear knitting mills.
The retailers. who buy directly from
tho mills are showing disposition to
limit their orders to immediate needs
and are not anticipating their re-
quirements more than two or three
months ahead Some Of them are pur-
chasing goods for immediate use from
export jobbers who have considerable
merchandise on hand, held back by
the falling exchange rates in Europe.
A considerable quantity of these
goods is being liquidated, although
the exporters, with the recovery in cx-
change, are holding prices more firm
ly than they were week ago. The
recovery in exchange, however, has
not yet resulted in a resumption Of
European buying.
The falling Off in the buying Of
underwear seems to be more marked
than that in hosiery. Cotton hosiery
is stronger than silk in demand at
present, largely because of the cx-
treme prices to which silk has risen,
mill agents assert.

LEATHER-In,Ported Cloves
For Fall to Cost More

Retailers will get from $3.50 to S. a
dozen more for their foreign made kid
gloves next fall, according to import
ers, who base this prediction on the
contention that the market is now al
most bare Of this class Of stock. Gloves
that formerly cost the importer SIS a
dozen are now said to be listed at from
$25 to $50 dozen, and hard to obtain
at that price. While only compare
lively small advances have been made
to date in the wholesale price of kid
gloves, importers have announced that
they cannot accept further orders at
guaranteed prices or specified delivery
dates. In booking orders for fall goods
they are compelled to make q. thorough
study Of the market possibilities be-
fore establishing prices.
Anticipating a shortage, retailers who
usually received fall gloves in Septem-
Der are now requesting the importers
to make deliveries some time in June.
Last fall and winter dealers who had
hesitated about placing orders because
of the expectation of lower prices were
unable to secure enough merchandise
to cover their requirements when they
did come into the market. Profiting by
that experience, it is said they are
making efforts this season to have de-
livcries made far in advance of the Gus
tomary period.
1t was said yesterday that shipments
Of gloves from abroad continue, but
that they are far too small to fill the
needs of the local trade. Retailers re-
port that their business so far this
year has been in excess of the corre-
spending period of any preceding year.

JEWELRY-Imported
Diamonds DeferiOrofe in Quality

Not only is the supply of diamonds
erceedipgly scarce here, but, according
to cutters. the quality of the rough
stones received from the British Syn
dicate by American concerns is rapidly
deteriorating. 1t is said that there are
about 20 per cent more imperfections
among late shipments reaching this
country, and that the color Of the
stones is not so good as in previous
receipts. In view of the fact that
America has always received superior
qualities of stones from the syndicates,
cutters here take the view that the
quality Of recent assortments indicates
most acute scarcity of diamonds
abroad.
Only ten diamond cutting concerns in
the United States, all in this city, are
recognized by the British Syndicate
and receive trough" from it. Recently a
few of them were informed that their
supplies from the mines controlling
company were to be reduced. One cut
ter declared that while in March, 1919,
his assortment from the syndicate was
valued at 100000, the assortment re-
ceived last month was valued at only
f65,00O. This cutter said that the lat
ter assortment, which shortly will be
ready for delivery to the trade in fin
ished shape, is sorely needed by deal
ers. Already many concerns have made
offers to buy it in it's entirety, and have
been willing to place cash guarantees
to bind the purchase. These offers
have been refused, and the diamonds
will be apportioned among dealers.
New-York tribune., 1920-03-13
SILKS-Future
In Shirtings Uncertain

Manufactures of tub silks, crepes
and other silk materials say that the
immediate future outlook for these
fabrics is most uncertain. This is
owing largely to the varying opinions
now existing in the shirt trade re-
garding the volume Of business to be
done in silk shirts during the next
few months. Some manufacturers of
shirts expect the demand for silks to
continue or to increase Others are
confident that the peak of prices and
consumer demand for silk shirts has
been passed.
Quantities of high priced silk
shirts are now held in the hands of
manufacturers who are seeking out
let's for them. One small manufac-
turer alone has more than 300 dozen
silk shirts on hand, ,~valued at $3.50
dozen. Many of the smaller manu-
facturers are offering their stocks of
uncut silks to their larger COM
petitors. An offer to buy silks below
the market price, made by promi
nent shirt concern in an advertise
ment yesterday, brought close to 100
responses it was asserted.
Manufacturers OF shirting ma
terials, however, are sitting tight on
their prices waiting future develop
ments. Some of them are running on
orders placed some time ago, but as
quickly as the orders are finished they
are switching their looms to other
fabrics or allowing them to stand idle.
The outlook is too uncertain, they
say, to run on stock to be sold at
later date
