Retail trade has been dull through
most of the month, but last week more
encouraging reports were received from
various sections of the country. In
some places, where cool weather has
prevailed, fall buying by consumers has
set in we'll. There appears to lie no
scramble for merchandise on the part
Of the public and the vast majority Of
consumers have not abandoned their
caution in buying, nor their insistence
on quality at low price. Unemploy
ment is still reckoned as large factor
in holding back an even flow Of mer-
chandise at retail, but the opening of
more mills in various sections Of the
country has put better complexion on
this feature of retail prospects.
In the wholesale field things are
moving along fairly we'll. Wholesale
distribution is still uneven. Cotton
goods, particularly those of staple
character, are moving we'll, the whole
salers say Demand for winter under
wear has sharpened and fall woolens
and dress goods are being bought by
the retailers.
The tariff, internal taxes and the
railroads, as pointed out by John Shedd
president of Marshall Fold & Co.. loom
as big factors in the business world
According to Mr. Shedd's statement
issued at the bohest Of chambers Of
commerce of business men in general,
the Fordnoy tariff bin, and particularly
the American valuation clause, VIII act
as deterrcnts to the recovery of bust
ness here He also insisted that lower
taxes on business and lower transporta
ton costs were necessary to bring down
the cost Of distribution, and hence
affect retail prices.
Importers and retailers have not
abandoned hope Of killing the American
valuation clause when the tariff bill
comes to vote. although the bill has
been passed by the House and APP
proved, with amendments by the Senate
Finance Committee On the other hand,
American manufacturers affected by
foreign competition are keeping up
their pressure for the inclusion of the
American valuation clause in the tariff
bill.
The dye situation also is receiving
more attention. Statements of COM
plants against the wearing qualities of
American dyes have been met with
REPUTATION on the part Of dyes manu-
facturcrs. Two meetings of dye manu-
facturers, dye users and apparel manu-
facturers are being arranged for the
near future, when the subject will be
thoroughly discussed. The Associated
Advertising Clubs of the World last
week issued a statement approving
American dyes.

Little progress was reported in the
leather trade last week. While the
volume os trading was small, the in
creased inquiries for leather forecast
resumption of activity in the near
future. About the only feature in the
trade was presented by the Argentine
hides market, where sudden revival
OF trading was reported Although
the local hide market failed to re-
spond to this Improvement, sentiment
was strengthened considerably. Prices
again oscllated within narrow bound
aries.
With the probable shoe style for
winter and fall still the paramount
question, little speculation was done
by shoe manufacturers A small but
steady stream of orders, calling for
prompt delivery, was received by tam
ncrs Operations in most shoe facto-
ries were further expanded.

Apparel

Several manufacturers Of women's
apparel reported an increase in whole
sale buying last week, although others
SAID that the piecemeal and small or
der purchasing by retailers was be-
ing continued. Some market observcrs
say that the market is full Of more
contradictions than ever before and
the difficulty of Sizing it up" has
increased to point where clear trends
are no longer defnable. In general
1T appears that the manufacturing of
highly styled apparel are "sittinc
TIGHT on their determination not to
cut up merchandise except on firm adj
vance orders. In the cheaper lines a
plentiful supply of merchandise exists.
Several retailers Who advertised for
"'Job lots last week reported offer

pare.
The mems wear trade is progressing
With its selling of suits and ovcrcoats
for fall Statesmen making the smaller
towns are sending in fair orders. The
bulk Of early fall buying by retailers
has been completed by this time.
Some predictions are made that re-
orders will be large and buying from
stock will be heavy. Some Of the
manufacturers expect to finish their
work on fall goods by the end of
October, and few of them expect to
be busy in November.

WOo}cns

Progress in selling more woolens
and worstcds for next spring were re
ported by selling agents last week. A
few more mills entered the market
with their spring offerings, and re-
Spouse was liberal, according to all
reports Woolcns appear to be selling
slightly better than worstcds With
the exception Of the American Wooden
Company, few manufacturers Of wo~
mems wear fabrics have put out COM
plete spring lines. The trade is wait
ing more Of definite trend in the
womcn's apparel market. = Prices
showed no change for the week, and
few readiustments Of opening prices
are being made now The new open
ings are I'll on the price level estab-
lishcd earlier in the selling season.

Little change in the status Of the
jewelry trade was apparent last week.
small flow Of orders continued to
come in to wholesalers from their rep
resentatives who are still soliciting in
the retail field. Except for few or
ders which drift in continually, manu-
facturers are operating their plants
against the contracts secured few
months ago by their statesmen. Steady
prices were maintained
Although little Improvement in the
damon market was perceptiblc, deal
crs asserted that keener interest in
diamonds is being manifested by the
public. Retailers are said to be order
ing at shorter intervals than hereto
fore The volume, however, amo
shrinks into insignihcance when COM
pared with the aggregate in the pre-
ceding and normal years. Business
in the European diamond markets
continued its upward surge, according
to reports.
