JEWS TO PARTICIPATE IN CAM
PAIGN FOR EUROPEAN
CHILDREN.


Jos. H. Schanfeld to Organize Jewish
Participation.
Together with the seven other ma
tional agencies, the Joint Distribu-
ton Committee will make supreme
effort to raise $33,O00,000 for the
relief of the European children, from
December 10 to 81. The joint COM
mittee of which Herbert Hoover is
head, has for it's task the raising OF
S23,OOO,OO0 for food and clothing
and $1O,OOO,000 for medical aid for
100000 children in Eastern and
Central Europe, the most innocent as
we'll as the most helpless sufferers
from the war. The sum is needed
to tide over the children until the
next harvest. Various European
countries are doing their utmost to
help, but without the $33,OOO,OOO
from America, thousands of the lit
tie waits are doomed to-. perish.
In Minnesota there is the same
united effort on the part of the
eight national agencies,-the Amer1-
can Relief Administration, the Red
Cross, the Joint Distribution Com
mittee, the American Friends Serv-

SILKS-Buyers Cautious
As Prices Ascend

Buyers were operating very cautious
ly in the broad silk market yesterday.
Prices are advancing on some weaves
and all manufacturers are somewhat
frightened at the price levels which
raw silks have reached and are not
anxious to take more orders. They
would prefer that buyers keep away
from the market until the situation
becomes more settled. Fortunately
buyers are cautious as we'll and are
not anxious to make heavy investments
in broad silks at present range of
values.
Cutters were showing some interest,
endeavoring to secure supplies they
reed before prices advance to levels
which are warranted by the present
price of raw silks. But they are not
buying unless they can get fabrics at
figures which they deem good invest
ments. High prices frighten them
away. Jobbers would be glad to dis
pose of some Of their holdings, not so
much because they fear price changes,
but because quick turnover is essen
tial to their success in trade.
Raw silks advanced another 100 yen
in Yokohama yesterday, carrying Sin
shut No. /, the lowest grade to 4,O50
yen there. 1t is quoted at SIT pound
here. That carries the better grades
Of raw silks to much higher levels
Importers are condemning the methods
which. they say. permit the manipua-
tion of the market in such a way as
to force these high prices regardless

LEATHEk-Jobbers See
DANCER il, HIGH Shoe Prices

Some jobbers declared yesterday
that if shoe manufacturers continue
to advance prices they will be forced
to close their salesrooms. Prices, it
was stated, are so high at present that
a drop in the market would force many
jobbers into bankruptcy. 1t was esti~
mated that manufacturers have ad-
vanced their prices 40 to so per cent
during the last six months. Mems
shoes that formerly sold for $3.50 a
pair are now quoted at $7.75f a pair.
Manufacturers prices for mems patent
leather shoes are now So, whereas a
few months ago the same shoe sold
for Sc. Ladies' shoes, jobbers stated,
also have advanced greatly. Women's
black vici welts that sold for $3.50
last May were billed through last week
at SO a pair. The price for future
orders of this shoe. it was said, is
$1,000 a pair.
Jobbers declare these rapid advances
have injected an element of uncertain
ty into the market. AS no one knows
what conditions will be three months
hence, jobbers fear to order far in
advance lest price drop catch them
with high priced line of goods on
hand

!. Agreement on
New Railroad Legislation

7. De Witt Cuyler, chairman of the
Association Of Railway Executives, as
the result OF conference yesterday Of
the steering committee was authorized
to confer With other organizations in
teresled III new railroad legislation
With the object of bringing about a
general agreement on the matters over
which there are at present wide diff
ferences of opinion.
1t is not stated whether the mem
bers of the association holding diff
ferent views regarding the proposed
guarantee of 512 per cent on railroad
earnings have yet reached an agreement,
but it was understood that they are
still at variance. Representatives Of
the weaker roads favor the adoption Of
this clause of the Cummins bill, while
the stronger roads oppose it, on the
ground that it will stifle initiative and
ultimately injure the credit of all the
roads.
The rate committee. of which How
ard Elliott is chairman, also met yes
terday, but it was announced that it
is not yet ready to make a statement.

Potato Shortage
And Higher Prices
Seenby Dealers
Variety Keeping Pace
With Long Island Crop as
Wholesale Cost Scars

A shortage of potatoes was predicted
yesterday by food market experts and
dealers. Food Administration officials
are expected to conduct an inquiry into
the truth of the contention of dealers
that natural market conditions warrant
higher prices for potatoes.
In the last month the price of pota-
toes has been climbing steadily. They
went up fifty cents barrel yesterday.
Long Island potatoes were quoted at
$3.50 and So barrel wholesale. Thirty
days ago the same variety Of potatoes
brought but s5.75 to s6.25
The potatoes coming from distant
points, including Maine and upstate
farms, are keeping pace in price with
The hitherto exclusive Long Island var
iety. The latter usually have been
from $3.50 to So barrel more eN-
pensive than the Maine potatoes, but
according to yesterdays quotations,
there was practically no difference. The
latest price advance of Maine potatoes
occurred this week, when they left quo
tations of $675 to $725 and Joined the
Long Islands at $3.50 to IS.
A crop catastr ophc is said to be re-
sponsible for the shortage. Dealers
declare that the second crop was hard
est hit by the blight, the quality being
rendered inferior, in addition to.plants
being completely destroyed.
Dealers said it was possible that the
Long Island potatoes would rise to ten
dollars barrel in price before the
Florida product came to tho rescue

called at the request of the bakers,
who declared that an advance of 50 a
barrel in flour, which yields on an
average of 270 loaves, had confronted
them with the necessity of advancing
prices.
Mr.. Williams announced that julius
Fl. Barnes, United States Wheat Di-

bakers. Representatives of the follow

COTTON-Little Activity
In Gray Goods Market

The gray goods market was not very
active, with the bag trade doing the
principal buying for the day.
The new prices on marrow fannels
were the chief topic of conversation
in the dry goods market yesterday.
The general idea appears to be that
these prices are considerably higher
than were expected. Some of the
opinions expressed were to the effect
that the selling agents were taking
advantage of the situation. Several
stated that the prices were at least
20 per cent over what they have been
looking for On the other hand, it was
generally understood that fairly good
business had. already been placed at
the new levels. There was also COM
ment to the effect that some of the
houses had placed all kinds of en-
tangling provisions on the cat value"
orders which they had taken earlier,
compelling buyers to pay the big
prices. and giving them no choice
about late deliveries.
New-York tribune., 1920-01-17
.JEWELRY-Actiue Buying
Of Din,nDnIs ut High Prices

Buying of diamonds is active despite
high prices. One karat stones are SELL
ing at 5000 to S700 each, defending on
cut, polish and purity. Clusters Of
diamond chips and small stones,' made
into rings, pendants and brooches, are
selling at prices from 100 to 200 per
cent higher than year ago.
Diamond brokers and jobbers state
that buying for the trade outside of
New York is extremely good. The
prosperity in the agricultural and in
dustrial sections of the country ac-
counts for the large expenditures made
for iewelry. Local retailers also re-
port an excellent business in diam onds.
Their only complaint is the difficulty
in getting a sufficient quantity of the
gems.
Strikes and labor troubles in Holland
and the temporary closing of many
plants owing to the lack of fuel have
decreased the output of cut diamonds
in that country.
