Whether q husband should forgive
is perhaps the most important of all
questions affecting married life. Many
homes have been wrecked because a
husband refused to forgive on his

lives have been wrecked because the
wife weakly tried to conceal her past

Dan Coleman, the wit OF Emerald

the stage been blessed by an Irish
comic of Coleman's caliber.

comedian of the Columbia Burlesque

things manager Counihan has to be
thankful for. The show opens with
the usual matinee.
The large personal following the

JEWELRY-Manufacturers
gain Adrnnce Prices

Jobbers and retailers of jewelry re-
ceived new price lists from manufac-
turers showing advances of from 10 to
10 per cent on all card jewelry, such
as ~r7 buttons, collar buttons, cuff
li*Ns ai,1 pins. Accompanying the new
HES wer. letters from the manufac-
t"rers stating that the advances were
made necessary by the continued high
cost OF materials and labor. Dealers
said yesterday that during the past
three months the total advance in card
jewelry has been Is per cent. The re-
vised lists show that gold watch chains
have been boosted IS cents penny
weight to S1.25. The market for gold
chains is said to be in state of flux,
with prices changing almost weekly
Retailers report that the volume Of
business transacted so far this year in
gold-filled jewelry is greater than the
corresponding period of any previous
year. The demand, they say, for vest
chains, chains for lavaliers and pen
dants and gold for stone settings seems
unsuitable. The heaviest buying, deal
ers assert, is yet to come, as business
before the Easter season is almost on
par with Christmas sales.
The greater part of the rolled gold
and gold-iled jewelry now being sold
is American made. Most of the really
high grade watch chains, pins, etc, for
merly were imported from Germany, but
as that country has not as yet re-
entered the jewelry manufacturing

FURS-Checks to
Spectators activities

Spectators in furs, some of whom
did hundreds of thousands of dollars
worth of business last year on a capi-
tai of. less than $1,000, are being
checked in their operations by bankers
and the larger fur dealers. The cam
paign to eliminate spectators, while
not begun in official sources, is active,
nevertheless. A group of two or three
banks, including large Philadelphia
institution, is understood to be cutting
credits heretofore extended in a pro-
miscuous manner to the fur trade. Ac-
cordng to leading dealers, these
banks exceeded the bounds of good
business in extending large credits to
some members of the trade.
Leading dealers also are playing q
part in the movement to check specu
lation. The credit Of the smaller deal
ers is being scrutinized more carefully
than ever before, and within the last
month many orders have been refused.
In addition to this, several Of the spec
ulators have lost heavily in transac-
tions in which they purchased furs
from other spectators "sight unseen
One case is reported in which lot of
several hundred nutria skins changed
ownership five times while in the
hands of the dyer and dresser The
last purchaser was the only one to in
spect the purchase, and found that but
25 per cent Of the skins were suitable
for dyeing purposes. He refused to
take the goods, and this refusal was
passed back to other purchasers. The
original price of the skins was $3.50
apiece, but the last purchaser had paid
81 apiece for them.

COTTON-Heauy Demands
From Mechanical Trndcs

Further inroads upon the wide cot.
ton goods which ordinarily find their
way into apparel are being made by
the mechanical trades, such as the
manufacturers Of rubber sheeting. imi.
ttation leather and automobile tires
Reports are reaching the market dailv
telling of more mills whose entire
production of cloth is being taken bv
large concerns in these lines. Two or
three of the large cord tire Asanufac-
turing turing companies recently took over
spinning mills, the entire production of
which will go into tires.
The steady demand Of tie mechanical
trades. has taken considerable quan-
tity Of goods or yarns out of the mar
v, with the result that shortage of
pods for immediate use in the regular
Trade channels has ensued. Manufac-
turers of sheets, converters of Gre
tonnes and similar merchandise assert
that they are having difficulty in locat-
ing available supplies of wide gray
goods. In addition to this prices have
advanced to q point where such manu-
facturers wonder if they can be passed
on to ultimate consumers.

SILKS-Mfrs. Holding
off Purchasing Ru,o Stock

Gambling in raw silks, forced upon
silk goods manufacturers by conditions
a year or more ago, have ceased, so far
as the largest producers are concerned.
Manufacturers who formerly bought
their raw stock six or eight months
or even year in advance, say they afe
buying no stock now and will buy none
until their present supplies run out.
A canvass of half dozen of the largest
producers resulted in the information
that the manufac cturers have from three
to four months supply on hand.
Throughout the trade there is a we'll
defined opinion that anything above $12
pound for raw silk represents pure
speculation. Some manufacturers as
sert that until prices recede to that
point there will be little forward pur-
chasing of raws. For some time the raw
market has stood around SIS a pound.
Because of the shortening up in
the forward supplies of raw silk
being carried by manufacturers, thew
have curtailed the taking of con-
tracts for goods to fit the supplies on
hand. One Of the largest producers is
selling goods for delivery not later
than three months hence and will take
no orders which cannot be filled within
that time.

LEATHER-Purchases Delayed
in Hope of Drop in Prices

While the lull in the leather market
continued yesterday, local dealers were
confident that renewal of buying can
De expected any day. They attributed
the present dull period to the many
Investigations by government officials
into the alleged profiteering in the
leather markets throughout the coun-
try. The prospective leather buyer
has manifested an intention to delay
needed purchases for few days in the
hope of drop in prices.
Dealers state that when buying does
begin once more it will be more active
than ever, not only because of the de-
TERED purchases but because of the
lower prices that are bound to come
with the expected downward plunge of
the leather market. The only activity
in the market yesterday consisted Of
further sales Of imported dry hides,
bringing the total movement up to ap-
proximately 125,000 hides. Dry and
wet salted hides were quiet and prices
nominal. Importers have received a
report that Mexico will prohibit the
export of hides and skins very shortly.
Local tanners have done a good busi-
ness in sheepskins, despite the ship
severe weather. The shoe manufactur-
ers in this district have been buying
sheepskins and other upper feathers
pretty close to their actual needs, hop
ing in this way to be prepared to take
advantage of any recession in prices.
Furthermore, as money is SO high, they
huve sought to avoid tying up too much
cal ital in stock. Not having lar
stocks on hand, it has been necessary
for the shoe manufacturers to enter
the market more frequently, and this
has made business good for the tan
ners of highgrade upper feathers. Top
grades of colors are selling at SO cents
a foot. Some choices are bringing as
high as 38 and 40 cents. The lower Sc
lections are selling at from 20 to "a
cents. Skivers are quoted at 26 cents
for top grades. heaper selections rule
at % cents. Low grades are obtainable
at 16 to 20 cents.

Erie Railroad Orders
FOrtv-Eight Passenger Cars

The Erie Railroad has ordered from
the Standard Steel Car Company forty
eight passenger train cars for its sub
urban service. The average price of
these cars is about $21, 900, making the
contract more than $1,000,000. The
new cars will be all steel and will be
sufficient to equip seven complete sub
urban trains. They will be delivered
during the spring and summer months.
During the twenty-six months of Fed
eral control ffty-two new passenger
cars should have been added to
the Erie's passenger equipment, but
none was purchased and twenty-five cars
were ratired from service because of
their poor condition.
