COTTONs-Jobbers
Buying BLeacked Goods

Drygoods jobbers from the South
and West have been operating moro
heavily in bleached goods during tho
past week. Selling agents for mills
who reported light sales for February
ana the first two weeks in March say
that their sales for the present week
show remarkable inreases. Tho new
demand is centered on the fine grades
OF sheets and pillow cases and on
many OF the so-called four quarter
goods, 36-inch muslins, cambrics, long
cloths and similar fabrics used in the
making of underwear, nightwear,
shirts, etc.
The wholesale manufacturers of
these garments are not buying as
heavily as the jobbers supplying the
retail trade. Selling agents take this
as an indication that many people are
turning to home sewing for their sup
plies of nightwear ETC., instead of buy
ing the garments ready-made.
Some mills have allowed their SELL
ing agents additional quantities of
muslins for nearby delivery Sheet
delivery much before June by most
mill agents. On some fabrics the job
bers are willing to accept delivery as
late as August /, say the selling agents.
J. is reported that the automobile, me-
chancal rubber and imitation leather
trades are bidding five cents yard
more than quoted prices for wide
shcetings. These trades also are tax
ing some of the narrow goods with
which they will experiment,

.JEWELRY-Cost Of Large
Diamond SETTINGS Increased

Local jewclry manufacturers an
nounccd yesterday that slight increases
had been made in the price of their
merchandise containing large diamonds.
This advance covers all stones over one
karat in size and is the second that
has been made since the first OF the
year. The shortage of diamonds is
general and becoming more acute daily,
but it is most marked in perfect large
stones. Dealers returning from for
eign markets report that gems over one
karat are almost impossible to obtain
in England and Holland and that there
is no limit to the prices being offered
for them by European dealers.
Despite the rising tendency Of prices
the demand for diamonds continues to
increase. While some dealers are of
the opinion that a large part of this
buying is being done on an invest
ment basis, others differ and declare
that the consumer always was & ready
purchaser of any precious stones that
We're hard to obtain. Out-of town
jewelers. who have been unable to buy
from road salesmen sufficient stool. to
meet the demands Of their customers
have been coming to New York in
large numbers to try and urge i'm
porters to supply them with the much
needed stones. Some have succeeded
IN getting small stocks of the gems
by. thoroughly canvassing the market
but most of them have been forced to
return home practically empty handed

Of fall shoes of all kinds. With the
prospects of lower prices for the fall
seasons footwear being dispelled by
the attitude of manufacturers at their
recent meeting in Boston, the retail
ers are now anxious to cover their
probable requirements. In the whole
sale district yesterday the impression
was general that by next September
shoe prices will be even higher than
those now existing. Some wholesalers
were of the opinion that the increase
would be about so cents pair, while
others figured from rs cents to 81 as
the advance.
Stocks Of fall shoes were reported
to be more plentiful, though not suffi-
GENTLY large to take care of any un-
usual demand that might develop.
Staple lines, black and tan, are ex-
pected to be in demand in both chill
dren's and women's footwear, with a
few novelties holding favor in what
are called the growing girls" shoes.
1t is said that an effort is being made
to again popularize button boots, more

WASHINGTON, March 19.--~Total
exports Of the United States during
February were $646,oO0,oo0, the lowest
figure since October, 1919, the Com

day, and $76,0oo,oO0 less than in Jam
uary. Imports totaled $467, 100000. a
drop of $7,o0O,0OO from the preceding
month.
This decline is the beginning, off,
cials believe. of the long expected
stacking of foreign buying in American
markets due to the adverse exchange
rates. The reduction is expected to
increase supplies in Amcricai markets
and decreased living costs.

S1LKS-Jobbers Make
Ne1p Mill Connexions

few OF the large established silk
goods jobbers are changing or seeking
TO change their mill connections. Many
of the jobbcrs who began in a small
way three or four years ago have risen
to positions of power in the trade and
are now looked upon with favor by
some of the large mills. These job
bers are shaking off the smaller mills
with whom they have been allied and
are now making arrangements with
better producers. Some of the job
bers now control many of the smaller
mills and ave acquiring control Of
more by lending financial assistance to
the small mill men, who are being hard
pressed by their bankers
This development, according to sew
eral of the leading iobbers, is bringing
the control Of the trade into stronger
hands and is eliminating many Of the
smaller. speculative mill men and job
bers, who have been considered harm
full to the industry as a whole
