Ro,C Fiber Prres

In the absence Of cables from the raw
silk market in Yokohama for the last
few days, local importers and dealers
in the raw fibre made some concessions
in price to stimulate business, which
showed an alarming curtailment when
the best raws wen to more than S18 a
pound week ago. The raw silk mar
ket is unstable at present. and sales
are being made at varying prices.
Some dealers, according to silk mill
men, are offering raw silk ct prices as
much as 10 per cent below the forme r
market. Nothing like panic has re-
suited in the raw silk market, but the
uncertainties of the future trend Of
business as e whole and silk business
in particular is leading the dealers to
unload some Of their stocks. Silk
goods manufacturers who have ample
supplies on hand also are Offering some
Of their stocks now.
The varying prices at which raw silk
is held by goods manufacturers is max
ing difficult the dete ermination Of future
prices for goods. In making up their
cost sheets some. of the manufacturer
are averaging their raw product costs.
This Is the course being followed gen.
orally By the large producers Some of
the smaller mills, however, insist on
figuring. the raw product at the full
market levels.

Stocks Recover
AS Pressure Lets.
Up ON the Curb
Light Buying Sends Oil
Shares Up; Public Shows
No Signs of Buying Even
Old Issues

The storm of selling that broke stock
prices to new low record levels for the
year on preceding days appeared TO
have spent its force on the Curb yes
torday, where moderate rccoveries took
place in MANY issues. Some Of the oils.
which fell in. such sensational manner
on Thursday, displayed vigorous
strength On comparatively light buying.
One such oil was Houston, which had
fallen to 80 on the extreme decline of
Thursday. Yesterday saw it rallied to
107 on turnover Of 1000 shares. An
other strong spot was Carib Syndicate,
which sold at So and closed there. The
Homer field oils were in better demand
also at advancing prices, with Simms
holding above 43 and Gillland above 40.
According to the gossip of the Curb
many houses which had planned on a
broad rising market beginning this
month and which accordingly had un-
ecrwrittcn new promotions For sale to
the public are faced with large losses
rplcss the market turns soon.
Az matters now stand in the outside
market the public is not buying the old
issues, let alone taking on anything
that might be offered in the way of new
promotions. While the professional
traders have made money on the Curb,
playing the. short side, the public
stands to lose lot of money as re-
suit OF the severe decline that has
taken place Some of the higher priced
issues are off moro than fifty points
from recent levels.

Deliveries Improved,
Retailers Assert

Deliveries of all sorts Of commodi
tres. according to retailers, have i'm
proved greatly within the last week,
following the pressure against high
prices IN wholesale circles. Goods
tkat were ordered ten months ago are
arriving unexpectedly now, while only
= week or two ago inquiries concern
ing them elected the response that de-
livery dates were still uncertain.
Some retailers are inclined to see in
the quickened delivery. signs Of feel
ing of uncertainty and apprehension
among manufacturers and lobbers.
Some Sof these belsted deliveries are
welcome, particularly in the case of
staple goods, the price of which has
advanced greatly since the order was
PLACED. On. styled goods, however
such as winter hats, shoes, particularly
women's high boots and mems over
coats, the retailers suffer. Such goods.
they maintain, have lost large part
Z OF their value, due to their Seasonal
character, and come into the market
now when reduction sales are in order
to clear out the winter stocks in prepa-
ration for incoming spring merchan-
disc

JEWELR1 1--PvOspersty
Continues in Trade

While some other industries are
marking time, owing 20 fears of
break in commodities the iewei-y
trade is humming with activity, ard
manufacturers and dealers are won-
dering where al the money comes
from. They cannot supply the de-
nand, and the better quality of tn.
goods the greater seems to be the
call for it.
Buyers are coming in from all parts
Of the country looking over the
meagre stocks and complete transac-
tions that involve any where from
$4,000 to 100000 with the same nom
chalance that they buy a necktie.
1t was said yesterday by one of the
leading manufacturers that the only
thing that worries the trade is the,
lack Of skilled labor; that is, workers
of fine grade goods, such as saving
out work on rings, bar pins and other
jewels. There IS also q great scarcity
Of watchmakers, engravcr5 and
tracers.
This labor, before the wnr, was
done by many foreigners, mostly
Italians and Russians, but the cessa-
tion Of immigration has cut off this
labor supply. Americans. it is ex..
planned, do not go in for this form OF
work, as they do not seen, to have
the patience nor the ability TO per-
form it. although they are employed
as stone settlers. Conditions have
reached a stage in the trade where
any man who can do this kind CT
work can almost name his own price.

COTTONS-L0,C Prices
Named bv Denim, Producer

One Of the first outward signs of a
downward swing in cotton goods prices
is rebected in the new price list issued
by the Cone Export & Commission
Company. The prices for the various
grades range from SO to a. cents. The
grade priced at the latter figure has
been selling at so cents in come quar-
ters. II the whole The new prices, ac-
cordirg to The trade, were below the
marke. level and lower than most buy
ers expected. The production will PC
allotted to customers oe record.
The gay goods market yesterday was
listless. with prices about on q ie"el
rith Friday. Most Of the offerings in
the unfinished goods division of the
trade are coming from second hands.
Prices Of finished goods, particularly
Of fine. yarn constructions, such as
voiles, dinitics, ,oryandies,, etc. are
holding firm with conyerters and job
bers Of such. goods reporting contin-
ued strong demand for them. Some
converters say that the retailers are
showing disposition to order less than
they have been and to demand quick
delivery. The available visible supply
Of fne goods seems to be more limited
than that of the staple and heavy
goods. s.

sist the unprecedented high prices for
goatskin raw stock. Grades Of k;d
selling above 80 cents are in most do
mand by shoe manufacturers, but tina
lower selections are moving s'owly.
and tanners generally require buyers
to take portion of the cheaper grades

Some export orders are being re-

withstanding the demoralized state of

forced to enter the market actively for

rand from abroad will continue, Dr.

pointed out that sterling at the present
level is only about 80 per cent below
normal, which means to the sterling
purchaser an addition Of SO per cent %
domestic prices. In these times Of
soaring prices, re asserted, such an IL
crease is not so seriously regarded IS
in normal times, so long as the buyer
has the money. On that account ire
