Labor is plentiful and SO far there

this seems inevitable when one con-
siders the low prices at which the
manufactured article is being offered.
Retailers continue to buy from hand

curtailed production on the part OF the
manufacturer who refuses to accumu-

amount of business in hand. Present
stocks are only one-third of those nor

ton; Buying by Spot

While there was not the intense ex-
citement and activity Of the earlier
week, the cotton market showed con-
tinued nervousness yesterday, and
there were further wide fluctuations.
A sharp opening advance met liquida-
tion of contracts which had been held
over the break of the previous day,
but reactions brought in fresh buying
and prices showed renewed strength
in the late trading.
Near months led the advance owing to

Europe to Produce
Nearly All Own Sugar

The sugar situation will remain un-
settled, declares the Federal Sugar Re-
fining Company in it's review of condi-
tions, and the confidence which is lack
ing in the industry at present cannot
be restored in the immediate future.
Only material reduction in the huge
Cuban stock of more than 1900 900
tons, even though this has to be done
at extremely low prices, can settle con-
dltions. it is asserted.
Four million tons of sugar will be
produced from Europe's beet crop this
year, according to the first detailed
estimate from the Federal correspond
ent. This means that for the first
time since the end of the war Europe
will be able to supply its own sugar
needs.
Only Frence and German-Austria
will appear again in the sugar market,
declares the Federal review. Belgium,
Holland and Czecho-S -Slovakia will be
able to export probably 100000 to 50O,-
600 tons. Germany has abolished
compulsory economy" effective Octo-
Der l, but the export and import of
sugar will be prohibited.

Increased Use of Silk Under
wear and Hose Opens.
Many New Accounts; Silk
Crops Will Be Ample

Gradual improvement is manifesting
itself in the American silk industry,
according to a review of the last six
months made public yesterday by the
Silk Association of America. Mer-
chants report more yardage sold so
far this year than in the correspond
ing period of 1920, and some firms
predict that business this year will
equal the pre-war years Of 1914 and
1915.
The advent Of the short skirt for
women has been the occasion Of an
ever increasing demand for silk hose,
varied display of colored hose has been
seen the last season by the public than
for many years.
another high mark" according to
the summary, ''is the increased use of
silk underwear, especially that made
of the glove silk fabric. The calls for
this, in some instances, exceeded the
production of manufacturers. Thou
sands Of new accounts for this wear
have been reported opened in new ter
ritories throughout the United States,
where this class of merchandise has
heretofore been unused"

present is Canton crepe, and this gives
every indication of maintaining its
supremacy during the coming season,
the association says. The colors black,
navy blue, brown and gray are in vague
to the exclusion of almost all otners.
An order calling for one hundred
pieces of silk, it is said, will show
sixty of black and the balance equally
divided among gray, blue and brown.
Among staple broad silks taffetas
were particularly strong in the spring,
but now only the finer qualities are
being sold for evening wear. A good
demand for heavy crepe brocades and
faced crepes for evening gowns
is felt Satins are reported as selling
we'll, although other yarn-dyed goods
are moving n slowly. New uses for ribbons
have been found, noticeably in the
pockets of fur coats, borders and IN
some instances as lining for the whole
coat.
The estimated raw silk consumption
for the last six months showed an in
crease of more than so per cent OF
that for the preceding period. This
figure il in excess of any like term
for the industry. Opinions vary as
to the wisdom of influential raw SILK
interests in Japan in forming syndi-
cate, which bought up during the
winter and spring total of about A.
600 bales from the Yokohama market
in an effort to stabilize values. Its
operations unquestionably sustained
the Japanese market and naturally re-
lieved the critical situation in America
and Europe as we'll. The syndicate has
announced the program of indefinitely
retaining its holdings until it is judged
an auspicious time to release them.

Prices are sure to be higher when

Shoe Men Ask Court
To Restrain Employees
Say Stitchers' Union Controls
Hiring and Firing of Labor

LYNN, Mass, Sept. 9.-Twenty-ons
shoe manufacturers to-day filed bills
in equity in the Supreme Court alleg-
ing that officers and members of the
women stitchers' union and the United
Shoe Workers have combined and con.
spired to take control of the hiring and
retention of help in the stitching de-
partment. The bills seek to RESTRAIN
the defendants from continuing certain
union working regulations which It Is
alleged have resulted in the control Of
employment and factory production by
the unions.
The particular rule against which
the manufacturers bill is aimed re-
quires that union stitchers must have
permit signed by D. A. Maynard, busi-
ness agent of the union, before they
can be employed.
The manufacturers assert that this
rule is in violation of an agreement
signed with the unions October 2, 1920,
and that it has prevented them from
obtaining all the stitchers they require
and has thus reduced production.
