Buyers Anticipating Wants
for Next Two Months:
Ready Cash Plays Part
in Inducing Price Cuts

A considerable quantity of all kinds
of goods handled in department stores
and specially shops is being ordered
this week for delivery within the next
sixty days by merchants from all sec
tons of the country who are hero on
their fall buying trips.
Some of the largest department
stores in the country are now actively
engaged in making merchandising prep
arations for the next month or two.
The bulk of the buying, according to
wholesalers in various lines, is GEN.
tered on goods destined for sale to con-
sumers IN the next few weeks. MANY
of the retailers are seeking bargain
merchandise with which to conduct
sweeping clearance" or other cut price
sales in August, which normally is a
dull month. coming in the lull between
summer and fall trade.
One large store from the Midd,a
West has twenty buyers in the mar
ket. In the past three DAYS these buy-
ers have been visited by representa-.
tives of more than 5000 manufacturer
and wholesalers, according to the state
ment of an executive Of the stores
New York Office.
Buying for cash, to obtain especially
low prices on close-outlots from whole
salers, is one method that is finding
favor with the retailers. In a market
where money is still tight ready cash
is said to work wonders in the way of
price concessions, according to the buy
erS.

Shoe Manufacturer
Protests Hide Duty
W. L. Douglas, in Telegram to
Fordney, Says Levy Will In.
crease Shoe Prices

BROCKTON, Mass, July 2o.--Ex-
Governor ". L. Douglas, and head Of
one of the country's leading shoe
manufacturing concerns, to-day tele-
graphed protest against the proposed
duty on hides and leather to Chair
man Fordney OF the Ways and Means
Committee. In his telegram Mr..
Douglas said:
"Shoe manufacturers are doing their
best to reduce the cost of footwear to
the consumer. A tariff on hides means
increased prices for leather. The
packers control 60 per cent of the
hides 40 per cent being imported,
any duty placed on hides naturally
will aid the packer and tanners in
creating monopoly on the leather
a factor in the business in the last
few years that it would be q grave
economical mistake, in my estimation,
to take hides and leather from the free
list
II must express my dissatisfaction
in emphatic terms, and l believe l am
voicing the sentiments of the manu-
facturers of shoes and leather
products and of the people engaged in
their production and of the general
public. l am in sympathy with legis-
lation beneficial to the farmers, but a
duty on hides would in no way help
them. as they do not sell hides. They
sell live cattle, the price of which is
determined by the beef value. 1t is
absolutely wrong to humor the far
mers along in this way, as they as we'll
as other consumers will be compelled
TO pay more for their shoes"
