THROWN SILK ADVANCED
S8APOUMD DURING 1919

Thrown silk has advanced IS a pound on
all grades since the beginning Of 1919. This
Is practically double the price 1t was a
year ago. yet the sale is quite as large
as il was then. and buyers who want II
find that manufacturers are sold out un-
iii the latter part OF February or the be-
ginning of March.
The year has been exceptionally favor.
able for thrown silk men. That Is. the
cost Of preparing silk for weaving has
Increased so much that manufacturers
have ceased to buy raw silk to throw.
themselves. but are buying silk already
thrown. They would have bought still
more IL the throwstcrs had been In q
position to sell II to them.
While nothing Is available this side OF
March in most establishments. the demand
continues active and manufacturers would

being about 81 a pound. The market is

BROAD SILK MEN
CLOSE GREAT YEAR

TIE year Just closed was a remarkable
one for the broad silk manufacturer.
Broad silks sold better than ever before.
with greatly increased yardage and
higher rrices, and 1920 opens with the
trade in the most prosperous condition
ever known.
The total volume of the silk business for
this country for the year now closing is
approximately 81 900, ,000. 0Oo This is the
largest showing the silk trade has ever
known.
Not only has the output increased in
yards, but the quantity OF silk taken from
Japan and worked up has exceeded any
thing hitherto known. Mills are sold so
far ahead that regardless OF the high
prices they must pay for raw silks they
are taking them to fill their own orders.
They have been able to more than double
the prices on their own product, and
some manufacturers feel certain that con-
sumers will have to pay still higher prices
for spring silks. The trade has taken silks
regardless of price and is now clamor-
ing for a larger yardage than ever before.
Another feature has been the marked
desire for the better qualities or broad
silks Never before have the retail trade
and consumers bought so freely OF the
more expensive sfaucs'
The development Of the manufacturing
end OF tho business has been phenomenal
everywhere. All silk manufacturing
centres-Patcrson, Scranton. Allentown,
|WiIkes-Barre. points in Connecticut, New
York and Rhode Island-have witnessed
greater expansion during 1919 than any
half dozen years brought them previously.
Going about the trade In New York.
one finds manufacturers and selling
agents optimistic. They say retailers VIII
have to replenish their stocks immedi-
ately, and that buyers may be expected
around the middle Of January to place
liberal orders.
Prices are not considered in this preolc,
ton. Buyers understand that prices viii
be higher for spring than they have been
for fall, and they are preparing to pay
them.
AS a whole. the broad silk business seems
to be in a remarkably strong position.

Wool Goods Sellers
Watch Public Mind

Sellers Of woollens and worsteds are
aware of the force which is gathering
behind public opinion on the question Of
prices, but market conditions are such
as to render impossible at present any
change from the recent trend. Mil
agents continue to find pressure for de-
livery Of fine goods and manufacturers
pressure on the fine end OF the raw wool
market has raised that to new high
levels and maintains 1t there.
Sellers have come TO realize during the
last week that the new fall season may
after all be the time OF test for the basis
Of values and they are taking their time
in approaching the openings.
There is, however, every evidence in
the mind OF selling agents that the sea-
son will move forward In full parity with
present values, IL not at an advance. They
are preparing to enter the season with
the ALLEGATION method OF distribution in
order to pick their customers and 70
check any tendencies which may exist
among some buyers to speculate.

Dye Market Steady
as New Year Begins;
Wait Legislation

The old year closed with the dye market
quiet and steady, with a fair movement
in Intermediates. II the proposed leg
islation desired by domestic manufacturers
should be enacted the demand for inter-
mediates is expected to become very
strong.
There is no trading in imported dyes
Textile manufacturers are taking inven-
tory. and are making the occasion one for
cleaning their mills. The pre-inventory
tendency has also been TO reduce stock
All in all, the textile people have had little
time during the last week for dyes. and
purchases of imported colors have been in
five and ten pound parcels. Nothing has
been heard in the last two days of the
vat dyes ordered by the Textile Alliance
Inc, which are scheduled to start moving
from the German plants on January 3.
Prices in the dye market are firmly held
and unchanged. A chronic condition Of
tightness holds true in every department.
Little has been heard during the holiday
week of the pending dye legislation. This
matter must come to a quick settlement
IL the American market is to be main
tanned free of foreign competition. Pro-
tectiye legislation is urgently demanded
by domestic dye manufacturers, some tex
tile manufacturers, American chemists,
representatives of the government. ex-
ponents of modern medicinal practice, and
others.
Opposed are said to be some importers
Of dyes, some American textile manufac-
turers, &c. The opposition is apparently
very strong and some seemingly excellent
arguments have been produced against
the proposed legislation.
The American public has so far displayed
little interest, but any development In
this direction would probably bring TO
light a somewhat prejudiced point OF
view.
