ness league which proposed such a
day to the pastors who supported
the movement.
II is to be hoped that this oc-
casion marks the beginning of a
program on the part of the league
to begin to function In way more
than purely ornamental. II Is to be
hoped that this marks the first
practical evidence Of its desire really
to do something definite toward the
development and spread OF Negro
business IN Dallas.
AS far as the development OF
business projects is concerned, the
Negroes OF Dallas are as fortunately
IL not more fortunately situated
than those of Richmond, Atanta
Memphis or any other OF the south
ern cities in which their business
projects have grown to an appre-
ciable size.
Dallas, the Metropolis Of the
Southwest, offers an almost virgin
field for the expansion and develop
men Of business. II contains 3d.
600 Negroes whose yearly expendi-
lures for the necessities OF life alone
amount to moee than $5,000.0 900.
So far, the individual projects Of
members of their own race have
fallen far short of centralizing these
make them productive of good TO
them.
II is natural. in the light of con-
ditions - we now see them. to
suppose that this failure has been
and Is even now, due to a lack OF
understanding how to make this
possible.
II ought not to be so. This con-
dition is not indicative OF the pres
ence, to any great extent of that
spirit of progress which invites and
seeks the cooperation of every force
at hand in a scheme of develop
ment beneficial to all concerned
a business league which fnne-
lions efficiently, seeks to know how
results are best obtained. II spares
no pains in its effort to spread the
gospel OF progress and efficient ser.
vice as a mean of expansion.
So far, our local business league
has evinced no startling amount OF
a desire in this direction.
We hope that the INT rest as
manifested by the inception of last
Sundays exercises may mark the
beginning of program OF educa'
ton in and development Of ouI
business III terests which shall result
in lasting good to us and our CON-
munity.
The growth Of our business in
situations Isl possible.
But II Is possible only as those in
tsresfed in them study and plan tC
make them so.

Have TO Cover Broader
Field TO Make Sure
That Competitors Do
Not Buy More Adj
vantageously Elsewhere

A LTHOUGH the general com.
~ modify markets are in that
state or condition known as
a buyers market" the professional
or trade purchaser still has many
problems that beset him. The buy
ers admit that their lot is easier
than that Of the seller, and vastly
more easy than it was late in 1919
and 1920, when the buyer had to
seek the merchandise, even to beg
for it, whereas, under present condi-
tions it is most likely to be the mer-
chandise that is seeking the buyer.
Inflated prices have passed in most
lines, but the buyer is still worried
over price. Despite the general i'm
preston that prices have been sta
bilized," said the merchandise manager
who controls the buying for large de-
partmcnt store, "our buyers find that
there is relatively little stability in
most markets. Often there is wide
range of prices on merchandise that is
Of similar grade among various sellers
This, in my opinion, is the result of
the financial situation in which the
individual seller finds himself.

week of regaining at least q portion OF
the German market for nitrate. Ger
many, it Will be remembered, was
Chile's greatest single market for this
product previous to the outbreak OF
the World War and the consequent de-
velopment of the German synthetic
nitrate. This hope, of which mention
has just been made, found birth In the
great explosion which recently de-
stroyed Germany's largest nitrate fac
tory, and which, it is reported, will re-
duce the manufacture of nitrogenous
fertilizers in that country 80 per cent.
In moments of pessimism such as
Chile has been experiencing, those
who have drafts to sell do everything
that is possible to avoid selling, pre-
ferring rather to hold on in an effort
to secure more pesos for them. This
creates an insistent demand on the
part of those who may find themselves
in the necessity of buying and wish 60
do so before the rate may turn even
more unfavorable. The natural result
Is that exchange is forced downward.
On the other hand, when a period Of
optimism prevails the process is exact
~ the contrary and the market evil
dences downward trend. This IS
probably what is occurring here at the
present time, but it remains to bs
seen, by future deveiopments, whether
the prevailing optimism has been well
founded and whether, through re-
vival OF commerce and a resultant kow
OF money into the country, the peso IS

continue its upward course, or whether

Copper Sought First

When the United States entered the
war its first demand, almost. was on
the copper and brass industries, Mr..
Douglas recalled. Overnight the great
producing organizations of the Ameri-
can copper companies were enlisted in
the national service. Under intensive
pressure the mines of Michigan Mon
tana and Arizona began to pour forth
their heavily weighted ore, the smell
ters and refineries established new
records for output the rolling mills
went on twentyfour~hour day work
ing basis. and there started into the
ammunition factories of the country
flow of copper, brass and bronze
sheets, tubes and ross, such as the
country had never witnessed before.
and In all likelihood never will see
again.
Il sometimes wonder" Mr.. Douglas
adds, now many people understand the
fields which copper and brass aban-
scned in few hours in order to do
its part in war service. In a score of
industries representing an annual con-
sumption of copper and copper alloys
running into hundreds of millions OF
pounds an almost disastrous condition
was created. There was no copper for
them. The government needed it all
aud none was disposed to question it's
right TO ali that could be produced.
Therefore, when copper, brass,
bronze and other copper alloys Joined
the colors, industry demanded some
thing to take their places. And here
Is where food Of substitutes was

'FBuyers' Market" Fails TO Make Life
Easier for Professional Purchasers

of the manufacturers Offering goods
at prices which represent no profit to
them. and in some cases an actual loss.
There is less OF this now than there
was year ago, but there is enough
of it to make it big factor in the
buying game. Often in our own store
here we find that our buyer has paid
more for some particular article than
competitor who happened to discover
a seller who was forced by financial
reasons to sacrifice his stock The
buyer has to cover the market more
thoroughly than ever before to be sure
he is getting the lowest price. Even
then, the next day or the next week
may see change"
AS general rule buyers have not
broken away from their policy of pur-
chasing for their future requirements
only two or three weeks in advance.
Felix Lilienthal, of Baer e. Lilienthal,
who are resident buyers for more than
100 stores throughout the country,
said that the buyers for the stores he
represents, lying within twenty-four
hours ride of New York, are now
coming TO this market on the aver
age of once every two weeks. When
here they purchase their needs for the
next two or three weeks, although it
is growing more difficult to find made
up merchandise that can be delivered
quickly
New-York tribune., 1921-10-30
Copy Ne,v Styles

"When a new style appears" he
said, "it is invariably made up Of fine
materials, with fine workmanship and
everything of the best. No sooner is
it on the market than it is copied in
cheaper materials and made up by less
skilled and less highly paid workmsn.
1t is only a matter of short time
until style that was brought out to
sell at $50 or $75 is being hawked
about the market reproduced in gar
ments that sell from $40 to $15"
The work of the buyer, although his
ties as formerly, has been vastly in
creased through the changed economic
conditions. With individual influences
at work to make prices quoted by vari-
GUS manufacturers OR wholesalers vary
widely and with special sacrifice" lots
Of merchandise coming into the mar
ket, the buyer must look at all goods
presented for his inspection. If he
fails to do this, according to several
prominent buyers, "he is likely to miss
good opportunity that will be snapped
up by his competitor, to his chagrin."
"a couple of weeks ago." said cloak
and suit buyer, II was too busy to see
p salesman who called at my office.
Subsequently I learned that he was
offering a close-out lot of 500 plush
coats at ridiculously low prices. A
competitor of ours bought the coats
and ran a special sale that turned over
a good profit to his store and brought
in such a large number Of customers
that other departments did an in
creased business"
New-York tribune., 1921-10-30
Cotton Goods Adrance

"Thc buyers of the stores on our
list" he said, "are fighting against the
placing of advance orders as much as
possible. The situation, although inn
proved, still holds many uncertainties
We find cotton goods advancing, furs
and coats also sitter in price, and SIM
liar developments that appear to mean
that the lowest point in prices in gen
eral has been seen. At the same time
the buyer has to watch his outlet. Con-
sumers are buying in fits and starts.
We recently advised our stores to
make heavy purchases and run special
sales at small profit on each individ-
ual article. Most of them did this and
turned over large volume Of mer-
chandise. In fact, we have reports
from several of our accounts that the
month of October, both in dollars and
volume of merchandise, was the larg-
est on record, in these individual
stores. Apparently the buying public
has to be coaxed into purchases by at
tractive offerings"
"The buying temper of the profess
SIGNAL store buyers is we'll illustrated
by their reaction to the proposed rail-
road strike. At first blush it seemed
likely that in view of the fact that

mat copper is plentiful"
Large Investments
Hundreds of millions Of American
dollars are invested in the copper and
orass industries. Great plants have
oeen reared. Mr.. Douglas believes
that 1t is of national Importance that
Chese huge investments be kept busv
ana pending the adjustment Of En-,
ropes economic difficulties thew must
depend in large measure ON domestic
consumption.
Some idea of the enormous growth
OF the copper industry may be gath.
cred from the fact that while in 1S95
the smelter output from domestic ores
was about 3S0,00O,0oO pounds, by 1915
1t had jumped to I928,0OO,000 pounds
and IN 1913, under the pressure of war
needs, reached approximately $500. :
ooo,0o0 pounds. Also the Importance
VI Inc united States as copper
producing country may be gauged from
the fact that while in 1896 the mine
output of copper represented 51.5 per
cent of the worlds supply, between
islS and 1918 it was 81 per cent and
IN 1919 it ran between IS and 60 ner
cent. go
Mr.. Douglas says that frequently
voleed criticism Of the copper produc-
ing IN industry is that it has not always
loiiowed Its product through. He
points out, however, that this is no
longer the case and adds:
The copper producer to-day is
vitally concerned in the destiny of
the metal after it leaves his hands.
1t is just as important to him to check
up the consumption of copper, brass
and other copper alloys in the thou
sand and one forms that they reach
the ultimate consumer, as it is to the
fabricator, to the manufacturer or cut
ter of the metals, or to the jobbsrs
and retailers"
