Advance in Textile
Market Expected
As Buying Begins
Manufacturers Say Prices
Will Go Up When Fresh
Supplies Are Needed; ;
Predict Higher Silks

A reaction from the low prices that
cotton, silk and wooden goods ara
bringing on the open market to-day is
expected by leading producers when
retailers and garment manufacturers
come into the market for fresh sup
plies. 1t is fact that some classes Of
textiles are selling below the actual
cost Of production at present. Even
the raw material in the case OF silk
is quoted at prices both here and in
Japan that are below the cost of rails
ing the cocoons and reeling the fibers
from them, in the opinion Of silk au-
tion shows that it costs around $40 a
pound in Japan to produce double extra
crack silk, and it is quoted now at So
pound on this market.
Silk mills and cotton mills since Feb
ruary, when sales began to fall off,
have curtailed their production approx
imately 33 1-3 per cent, according to
careful estimates, while the recent cur
tailment in the woolen industry prob
ably exceeds this figure, While the
retailers of textiles and apparel felt q
falling off in spring trade in April and
May, the manufacturers argue goods
originally intended for sale then were
forced cut into consumption by the cut
rate sales during June. The trade
leaders are convinced that there are
actually fewer goods between the mill
and the consumer than there has been
for some time. With this opinion as a
basis, they believe that the buyers will
be forced to come to primary sources
for additional supplies and that the
mills will refuse to sell except for. q
price that will show q profit over the
actual cost of production.
New-York tribune., 1920-07-10
Unfinished Cotton Goods
Sell at Last Years Price

The steady decline in gray or un-
finished cotton goods has brought
prices down to the general level OBJ
tanning around November and Decem-
Der of last year. The standard 64-60,
38k-inch print cloths yesterday were
quoted at 1917 cents yard for spot
and nearby delivery to 18 cents for late
delivery. The finer construction, 6S-
72, was quoted at 2Oh cents for spots
and nearbys and 1914 cents for lates.
Most of the actual sales in the market
were confined to these two construc-
tions. ~t
Some inquiry was noticed for pajama
checks, which are quoted at 19 cents
for the e4-60, 36k-inch goods for late
delivery and % cents for the 72--80
construction. Gray goods, according
to some leading factors in the trade,
are now below the actual cost of weav
ing. One converter said that the situa-
tion has been brought about by the
fact that many small converters took
on more gray goods than they could
handle and are now compelled to re-
sell them in the open market.

Appellate Division Modifies
Surrogate's Ruling in Estate
of Charles Kohler

The Appellate Division of the Su-
preme Court modified yesterday the
decision of the Surrogate's Court as
to the distribution of the S4,000,O0O
estate of Charles Kohler, piano manu-
facturer, sustaining the demand of the
testator's daughter, Mrs. Olga Flor
man, that the residue Of the estate
should be distributed among the resid-
uary legatees. Mrs. Florman, whose
husband Is Nils Florman, has been try
ing to get an increase Of her $25 900
income since 1916, when she discovered
it was inadequate.
"The trustees having exercised their
discretion" the Appellate Division
held, "and continued the business, any
portion Of the residuary estate that
was not invested in the business at
the time Of the testator's death should
be distributed to the residuary 1ega-
tees"
Under the construction of the will
approved in the Surrogate's Court,
Mrs. Florman would be paid $2O0, 900
forthwith and her sisters, Vera and
Rita, 100000 each, while Mrs. Flor
mans infant child would receive
100000. The will provided also for
the payment of an annuity of $25, 900
to the decedent's widow and 20 each
Of his children "to be made in lieu
Of profits and interest, irrespective Of
what the profits of the business are"
