WOOle1ls

Raw wool and cloths may be said to
have weakened perceptibly during the
week. The British wool sales we're
weak and prices reverted to about the
level of the July slump. Prices in
Boston were lower than during the
previous week. New openings of
spring woolen' goods by local mill
agents reflected the downward price
tendency. Norsteds are in a better
position and some lines are reported
to be we'll sold. As yet the volume of
business booked by leading mills has
not been sufficient to cause much
OF an increase in activity at mill
centers. In the cloth trade the manu-
facturers of fabrics and of apparel are
still at variance on the price ques-
tlon and the same holds true of the
attitude Of the clothing retailer toward
the manufacturer.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-27
qOffOms

Further price yielding in cotton
goods was conspicuous last week.
Amory, Brown E. Co. made new prices
on ginghams averaging around rs per
cent below the former list. Marshall
Field & Co., in Chicago, also revised
prices downward, as did many other
wholesalers and converters throughout
the country. 1t is questionable, how
ever, whether the price revisions have
stimulated business. Some converters
assert that business improved during
the week, whereas others stated that it
had gone along at the same slow pace
of former weeks.
The gray or unfinished goods market
showed some strength early In the
week. The standard 64-6Os, 381s inch
print cloths rose to Is cents for spots,
but dropped back to 14la cents at the
close of the week

Leather

The squirt in the buying of leather
reported early in the week died down
toward the end, and the trade reverted
to inactivity; Hide prices fluctuated
and then weakened in the last few days.
South American hides were quoted at
70 cents pound for top grades, with
few takers. Leather was reported to
be slightly more active in the Middle
West. In the shoe trade business is
not up to normal, and retailers are
watching each other for the first evil
dence of a wide break in retail prices.
A leading retailer of mems shoes re-
duced his maximum prices from SIT to
$l2 pair. Other reductions were
made by retailers of both mems and
women's shoes. Manufacturers, as a
rule, are still standing firm on price
lists put into effect some time ago, but
rumors that some of the BROOKLYN
makers of womens fine shoes are book
ing business quietly at extremely low
prices are current.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-27
Silks
Although raw silk maintaine

Although raw silk maintained it's gain
of approximately a dollar pound
throughout the week, and some pro-
ducers and wholesalers advanced prices
Of finished goods slightly, it was only
in few houses that any large volume
of business was done. Buyers of silks
appear to be holding off in making pur-
chases for immediate and future re-
quirements. Producers say that the
present price for most finished goods is
below the cost Of production, and that
future orders will have to show a higher
price or the cost of production decline,
before business can pass on large
scale. In the sales that were made dur
ing the week satins apparently were in
greatest demand.
New-York tribune., 1920-09-27
Apparel

In women's apparel, in which price
reductions by both manufacturers and
retailers have been existent for some
time, there is fair volume of busi-
ness. Some manufacturers and retail
ers assert that coats, suits and dresses
are selling fairly we'll, but that there
has been a decided slump in underwear,
hosiery and other accessories. In the
mems wear trade business has been of
more halting nature. Retailers have
not yet received heavy demand for
overcoats and suits or for hats, al
though both o~ercoats and hats are in
better demand than suits. 1t is felt by
many in the trade that retail reduc-
tions in clothing will be made before
long to stimulate consumer buying
That retailers are carrying smaller
stocks than they were when the spring
slump came is recognized in all quar-
tcrs Of the trade.

.Tewelry

Although prices are remaining firm
in the jewclry trade, the volume of
business continues to shrink. Most re-
tallers report that consumers are buy
ing sparingly now and this is reflected
in the orders being placed with whole
salers and manufac cturers. The higher
priced articles are suffering more from
lack of demand than the moderate
priced jewelry. Platinum continues to
advance and last week was quoted at
$l60 an ounce for the 10 per cent
iridium grade, which is the quality
used mostly in the jewelry trade. 4
few months ago this grade of platinum
was quoted at $50 an ounce. Diamonds
are tending upward. despite the fall in

lars

The fur market lacked any distinctive
development last week. The strike
in the plants of the manufacturing fur
rlerss continues to hold production down
to about 25 per cent of normal. Some
trade leaders predict the end of
the strike within the next two weeks,
Shipments of new furs for the London
auctions next month are small and the
British commission firms are trying to
avoid the acceptance of new shipments
when possible. The fact that the
American and Canadian auctions have
been postponed leaves England in the
position of price maker now Prices at
the London auctions are expected to
show a 20 per cent decline from spring
prices.
