Urges Tradesmen
To Fight Orders
OF Cancellation
Head of Dress and Waist
Manufacturers Says Busi-
ness Men Should Combat
the Evil as individuals

Individual stands against cancella-
to gorge S. Levy, manager of the
Dress and Waist Manufacturers Asso-
citation, rather than broad pledges by
collective associations, is the proper
method of combating the situation,
which has thrown the textile and ap-
parel trades into condition border
ing on choas.
Since the business slump that be-
gan in few trades as early as Feb
ruary and in most of them late in May
and June. various organizations of
manufacturers and wholesalers have
passed so-called drastic resolutions
against the acceptance Of cancella-
tions Of orders and have suggested
uniform signed copies of orders, to be
tion as remedy for the evil.
~ am naturally in favor of all as
sociations such as ours going on
record against the cancellation evil
PRESTON" said Mr.. Levy, "but busi-
ness men who think that cancellations
can be prevented by passing resolu-
tons, are very much mistaken. To
begin with, until every industry has
agreed upon universal order blank,
nothing can be accomplished on a
large scale. But the principal trouble
is that resolutions are passed which
obligate meberms to follow a general
course of action, which is all very we'll
unit! some particular case crops up
stand by their pledge. Then they are
accused Of bad faith.
''ln many cases, cancellations are
due not to responsibility on the part
fthe retailer, but to causes over
which he has no control. In such in
stances allowances must be made.
Then, again, there are others, where
the retailer, believing that the great
extent of his business justities him
in exacting special terms, places his
orders subject to clauses to which no
respecting manufacturer should
agree. / know of one case, in one of
the needle trades, where a manufac-
turer lost large order because he re-
FUSED TO accept an order form which
gave the retailer almost unheard of
leeway in making use Of the cancel
lation practice. The manufacturer re-
iected the order. Then he was told
hecould get no more business unless
he accepted the retaialer's terms. But
a little while later, when the manufac-
turer found himself in virtual control
Of certain popular style, this retail
house came to him and informed him
that an exception would be made in
his case and he was given an order
without cancellation qualifications of
any sort
of every manufacturer were to
make it business rule to take a firm
stand against all unfair order forms,
and against all cancellation clauses
which are not strictly business like,
trade would be helped a great deal.
Then it would not be necessary to pass
so many resolutions which, in the long
run, are useless. True, some orders
would be lost to certain firms, but
manufacturers who desire to do a
strictly legitimate business can we'll
afford to allow the less responsible
sort to get all the orders which are
placed with strings tied to them"

France Still i'm Need
of Foreign-Made Steel
Shortage of Fuel Handicaps
Operations of Domestic
Mills

Steel manufacturers throuohout
France, according to the European di-
VISION of the Bureau of FOREIGN and
domestic Commerce, are all of the
same oplnion-that the present demand
IN France for 1oreign steel products. in
Guiding plates, sheets, beams, sections
channe!s, wire rods, tubes and ANGLES
Ior railway car construction. will CON
tlnue Tor at least a year. No home
MADE plate is available for the inde
pendent shipbuilding plants. Such a
snip plate as is now produced passes
olrectly from the mills to shipyards
IN "hlch the mills are financially in
teIes'ed. 1t is said that by September
only 20 per cent of the shipbuldine
concerns will be operating. due to the l,e
shortage of materials.
Demand is assured as lonr as tbo
present output of coal and coke re-
mains inadequate. Lack of fuel has all
Teaoy reduced the, iron and steel pro-
ductlon to one-third Conditions are
improving gradually, and even without
It's new territory France will probably
get back to two-thirds its prevail
capacity within year. Exporting nat
uraiiy may not be expected before that
time.
ne shortage OF coke is becOmine
serious. England has curfailed its
usua! supply and now there is proiec.
on foot to use American coal in coke
making.
Although the demand exists. the
present rate of exchange has discour,
aged any large orders for foreign ma
terlals. The consumers are simply
waiting in hope that the exchange viii
drop sufficiently to warrant importa-
tion. The prices of French steel can
not be reduced materially for some
time, owing to the existing wage scales
and the present cost of living, both Of
which are three times The amount be-
fore the war. Coal is six to ten times
pre-war schedules. For instance, coal
mined in France which used to cost
aS francs per ton is now sold at $40
francs, while the English and Amer
ican coal coming to France at present
is selling for $50 and 175 francs re-
spectively.
Even though the cost of living NAV
come down in the future it will prove
difficult to adjust the labor rates to n
lower scale. The men,. were greatly
underpaid before the war. The genera,
run of foundry men received oA4y 900
francs for ten and eleven hours work.
hey now receive approximately Is
francs for an eight-hour day, which,
considering the present purchasine
value of the franc, is little improve,
ment over the former scale.

Demand for Private Homes

Three years age. when the zoning
law went into effect, it was commonly
thought that only very few localities
could properly be placed within the E
zone and that outside of a few highly
restricted neighborhoods the zone
requirements might lessen landevalues.
Actual experience, however, during the
last three years has shown that there
is such demand for private homes in
E zones that sales of vacant land SO
located have been AT excellent prices.
Undoubtedly there are many de-
tached house localities in the Boroughs
I of Brooklyn, Queens and Richmond
which would show an immediate in
crease in market value if they were
placed in e zones. This statement ap-
plies not only 10 houses now existing
but to vacant property. The L zones
for the first time afford to city resi-
dents d place where they can establish
a permanent villa home with a fair
chance that their children and chill
dren's children can live in a private
home neighborhood.
Such families are not to-day moving
to New Jersey and Westchester Coun-
ty, as was the case before the zoning
law. On this account the Board Of
Estimate encourages the creation Of
zones in the right localities

of unsound and unstable undertakings,
has led to the recent depression.
"To check the growth Of such specu-
lative business mania and to provide
against its baneful result in the future
the Bank Of Japan twice increased its
official rate of interest and discount
last autumn by way of warning the
financial circles, but many unsound
elements of our business circles failed
to appreciate and understand the
warnings of the authorities and con-
tinued to indulge in business projects
of more or less speculative character.
The result was the recent panic, as
was anticipated by the government and
intelligent elements of our business
circles
"Those who suffered the severest
blow through the depression and strin-
gent money were mostly unhealthy ele-
ments, while many business establish
ments of sound and stable financial
standing were the least affected In
short, the financial depression has sim
gled out unhealthy elements of our
business circles and served to open
new aspect of our business world.
Such being the case. / do not hesitate
to declare that both the government
and the Bank of Japan have not the
least idea of withdrawing the specie
holdings in the American market on
account of the recent financial de-
preston, because we respect the close
monetary relations between this coun-
try and the United States.
Il think that the development of
manufacturing industry and the
economy of consumption are two great
principles of the post-bellum economic
measures which must be the common
policy of the worlds powers in dealing
with economic affairs after the war.
My particular wish is that the United
States will utilize her resourceful eco
nomic power to the best advantage for
the post-bellum economic adjustment
and contribute to the solidification and
reorganization of the worlds eco
nomics.
Japan also wishes to do her best
to contribute to the solidifcation and
preservation of the worlds economic
interests. My sincere wish is that the
governments and peoples of the United
States and Japan will more clearly nm
derstand the financial situation of thei,.
respective countries and come to real

Second hand holders of cotton goods
are beginning to grow more nervous
about their holdings and to manifest
more eagerness to dispose Of them at
concessions. This applies particularly
to goods in the gray or unfinished state
Some of the spectators are known to
hold considerable quantities of goods,
but are unwilling to dump them all on
the market at once, for fear of de-
pressing prices still further However,
their offerings are increasing, accord
ing to gray goods brokers, and many
classes of fabrics that were extremely
scarce as late as month ago are now
obtainable in fairly large quantities.

Seven new students, two of. them

In the college of arts, and one in the

Judging from our correspondence

an additional 40 or SO students at the

morning.
Q course, there is the probability
4of, few Of our presentssstudents not re-
