Borden & Co. Announce New
Price List Making Re-
ductions of so to 90 PC;
Change Selling Policy

Evidence that large factors in the
cotton goods trade are ready to write
off huge losses on raw materials al
ready in hand and discount any further
declines in raw material or labor costs
was given yesterday in the announce
ment of new prices on percales and
other printed cotton goods by M. &. d.
Borden & Co.
The new prices are from so to 60 per
cent below those last announced by the
company in April The cloths are the
product Of the American Printing Com
pany, one of the largest printing plants
in the country. The goods in question
arc distributed mainly to dry goods
iobbers and garment manufacturers.
and are ready for delivery through No.
vember and December.
An important change in the COM
panys policy also was announced yes
tcrday, in that it will grant neither
stock protection nor price guarantees
to BUYERS. I1 other words, the buyer
Will be expected to take in the goods
and pay for them at the price prevailing
when the order is taken. Officials Of
the company look for this measure to
prevent a recurrence Of the specula
tive element that characterized the
trade during the last year or more
that was largely responsible for the
present slump in values and activity.
The prices in general approximate
those made early last year after the
depression following the postarmist tice
hesitation in trade had reached low
ebb. A large buying movement fol
lowed the naming of low prices Il year
and half ago.
The new price list cuts under the
prices announced by other producers Of
similar fabrics few weeks ago. With
the exception Of another large pro-
ducer of dark ground percales and the
leading makers of denims, new low
price scale is now in operation in al
most every branch Of the cetton goods
industry. 1t has been felt for some
time that the making Of new prices by
the Borden interest, among the largest
in the trade, would complete the cycle
Of readjustment for the present and
give the cotton goods trade fairly
stable basis upon which to operate.
Borden's new prices are subject to
change or withdrawal without notice,
and orders are subject to the COM
panys acceptance or revision.

Break i'm Wheat
TONewLoW Mark
AS Farmers Sell
Evidence of Failure in Hold
ing Movement Seen in Big
Increase in Receipts: Mar
ket Weak Despite Decline

The wheat m arket again showed
pronounced weakness and prices sold
at the lowest point reached since trad
ing in futures was revived in July.
There was heavy general selling
throughout the day and. aside from
covering, there was an absence of de-
mand.
Underlying sentiment was bearish
and the market felt the influence of
the weakness in foreign exchange,
which apparently prccIuded export
operations. Foreign buyers showed lit
tie or no interest, ana advices from
abroad again indicated that the South
ern Hemi sphere is offering wheat more
freely.
The holding movement on the part
of farmers has evidently met With fail
ure, as receipts of 10000 bushels for
the day at Kansas City showed plainly
that farmers IN the Southwest wele
again selling wheat with freedom.
Flour prices experienced decline of
about so cents a barrel and leading
grades were all selling below the $40
mark or at the lowest prices 50 far
this season. The announced failure OF
n large importing and exporting firm
was another feature in the situation
which served to undermine confidence.

Business New
Cotton Goods Factors Ready
To Write Off Large Losses
DeHation in Leather
Only Begun, Is Vie,c

Advice to retailers TO buy
leather goods only for immediate
and holiday requirements and TO
delay spring buying is contained
in a "frank statement on the price
situation sent out by the Leath-
erwear Company of America,
manufacturers Of mems leather
belts, Middletown, n. y, over the
signature Of Herman Blum, pre-
ident.
THE process Of defation in the
raw hide market" says the letter,
"has been practically completed,
but in the leather market it is
barely started. Hides suitable for
leather from which we made belts
have dropped in price approx
mately so per cent since August,
1919. OF course, the tanners of
leather have not made reductions
anywhere near in proportion to
the price reduction in hides.
The reason is obvious. They have
their vats full OF high priced
hides. 1t takes months to pro-
duce leather from raw hides and
cheap leather connot be made
from high priced hides. BY early
1921 these tanners Will have grad
ually liquidated their present high
priced stocks. or by lack of bust
ness will have been forced to ac-
cept losses on their feathers, thus
bringing into use the cheaper
hides now available We our
selves, are buying just enough
for our immediate needs. If you
will do likewise the requirements
of all manufacturers will be small,
and this will help to hasten the
time when we will all be able to
get merchandise at its real
value"

Resign Treasury
Office January !
Head Of Sub.Treasurv Here
10 Return 10 Law; Plans
for Merger With Fed
eral Reserve Progressing

Martin Nogel for the last six years
Assistant Treasurer of the United
States in charge of the local Sub
Treasury, announced yesterday that he
intended to resign about January t..
BY that time the arrangement whereby
the Federal Reserve Bank Of New York
is to take over all OF the functions of
the Sub Treasury VIII, it is believed,
have been perfected. Mr.. VoGcl Will
return to the practice Of law.
Under legislation enacted at the last
session of Congress it was provided
that the Federal Reserve system would
take over the functions Of the several
SubTreasuries and this has already
been done in Boston and Chicago.
Officials of the Treasury and Of the
Federal Reserve Bank will begin with
IN the next few days the arduous task
Of taking inventory of the great mass
OF money, metal and securities stored
III the great vaults Of the local Sub
Treasury. In addition TO hundreds of
millions Of dollars Of gold and silver
AS well as paper money, the vaults of
tho famous Wah Street institution con-
tain several hundred million dollars
worth of American railroad securities
which the roads of the country hy-
Dothecatcd as collateral against gov
crnment advances during the emcrgcn-
cy period of the war. All of these Sc
curities, as we'll as the gold and silver,
Nill have to be counted and checked
in connection with the transfer of the
ubTressury TO the Federal Reserve.
Tons Of gold, in the form Of bars re-
posing in the vaults of the Sub-Trcas-
ury arc being transferred rs rapidly as
possible to the new safety chambers
Of the Assay Office next door. Trans
fers are being effected at the rate OF
about $4,000. 600 daily. The shifting

Wholesale Jewelry Market
Shows Extreme Dizziness

Extreme dullness pervades the local
wholesale jewelry market, despite the
approach Of the Christmas season.
Manufacturing and wholesaling jewel
ers expected that a buying movement
would set in this month, inasmuch as
the retailers have been purchasing
cautiously since last May, but no re
vival in trading is in sight yet.
Prices of diamonds and other
precious stones have not declined, ex-
cept in the case of few dealers who
have been pressed for ready cash. Few
reductions al retail are noted, although
one popular-priced store in the down
town section is announcing price cuts
of from 20 to 33 1-3 per cent in its
prices Of watches, diamonds and other
jewelry, and large department store
recently staged a cut-price sale Of set
diamonds.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-09

of this gold to the Assay Office will
make the amount of metal reposing
there the largest store in any one
place in the world.
Arrangements have been made, Mr..
Vogel said yesterday, so that all of
the old employees of the Sub-Treas-
ury who desired to do so would obtain
employment with the Federal Reserve
For the time being, at least until the
new Federal Reserve Bank Building is
erected, the Sub-Treasury Building will
be usea as an adjunct to the present
quarters of the Federal Reserve. After
that it will not be used.
II am going to put forth every ef-
fort possible said Mr.. Vogel yester-
day, "to see that this historic old build
ing is kept intact as one Of Wall
Streets and the country's landmarks. .

Curb Tone Weak.
But Prices Rally
On Short Covering
Selling Pressure Causes
Early Reaction, With De.
clines Throughout List;
Buying at Low Levels

Selling pressure in the early trad
ing on the curb market yesterday
brought weak tone, with declines
virtually throughout the list, but buy
ing manifested itself at the low levels
and caused slight rally. Although
most Of the buying appeared to be for
short account, some traders expressed
tue opinion that bargain~hunters were
in the market.
Sentiment on the part of profess
s;onals was decidedly bearish in spite
of the fact that prices were con-
sidered low AMI in many cases were
near the bottom for the year. The
continued weakness Of commodity mar
kets and foreign exchange, as we'll as
ccrditions on the Stock Exchange, was
reflected III the unsettled views.
Standard Oil issues were offered
lower and several independent stocks
yielded fractionally. Carib Syndicate
was weak, breaking under II.
Bonds were in fairly good demand,
however, and this group was fairly
active throughout the day. Price
Changes were small.
