june Wage Drop in N. Y. State
Was Smallest i'm Many Months
Sees Better Business ].
In South and Vest

Improvement in general business
conditions in the South, West and
Pacific coast sections is indicated
by the more liberal orders being
placed by retailers in those dis
tricts, according TO Frank Cross
man, Of julius Grossman, Inc,
womens shoe manufacturing con-
Germ of Brooklyn.
"Our road statesmen in the South.
West and on the Pacific coast" he
said yesterday, already have booked
more business on their first fall
selling trips than they did in the
entire year of 1920. More of the
Southern and Western buyers have
visited the market here and placed
orders than for almost a year past.
The buying on the Pacific coast has
been particularly remarkable, in
view Of the fact that for the first
six months Of this year retailers
there bought practically nothing"

Revival of Demand
For Diamonds Felt
Retailers Order More FREE
quently; American Buyers
Boost European Markets

Continued improvement in the de.
mand for diamonds is reported by loca.
dealers Although retailers have not
yet deviated from the conservative
buying policy, in force for some time
they are now ordering more fire.
quently. Some difficulty is being ex-
perienced by retailers in obtaining
several sizes of high grade diamonds
of which most dealers supplies are
nearly exhausted.
Firm prices on the better quality of
diamonds are upheld by the London
syndicate. However, the desire of
many retailers to liquefy their large
stocks of inferior grades has led to
several reductions in the prices of
these stones.
This betterment in the call for dia-
monds has not yet found it's reflection
in the diamond cutting industry. More
than two thirds of the workers en-
pleyed in the local cutting establish
ments are still idle. 1t is expected
that the near future will find most OF
them back at their benches.
Accompanying this revival of buy
ing was the news received by leading
dealers that the diamond markets of
and Antwerp had under
gone decided Improvement. This change
for the better was ascribed to the
presence of many American BUYERS
DESTROYS of purchasing goods. Full
reflection OF the increased demand was
found in the cutting industry there.
A large number of cutters who were
Idle for some months are said to have
been reemployed.

Cotton Is Higher
On Trade Buying;
Pressure Checked
Crop and Weather Develop
ments Calculated to In

Prevent Rise of Prices

The cotton market yesterday gave u
good account Of itself. considering the
nature of crop, weather and other
news which was calculated ito inspire
aggressiveness on the bear side. Trade
buying was again feature on all
weak spots, and near the close active
support from leading spot houses car
ried the market up "a to "a points
from the lowest of the day, and it
closed steady at a net advance of to
% points.
There was moderate pressure. based on
condition report from Texas house
making the crop prospect 66.3 against
67.S last month. AS in the case of the
other private reports far issued, this
the impression that the crop Is in better
shape than the trade believed Never
theless, there was absence OF aggres-
sive sell.ng pressure all day.
Further reports about dullnesa in Man
chester had little effect rs tho trade
seemed to have discounted these conditions
and We're more interested in the Southern
crop outiook. Private advices said cotton
Is beginning to move in fair volume in
south Texas. but reports from there indi-
cate that the crop is very irregular
higher to SO lower. ranging from 1O.1lc
to 1145c at the leading points.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and 10 points higher at 12.10c for
middling. No sales were reported

cording to figures made public by the

ment. The comparison Of pay roll ex-
penditures of factories in June with

duction of but 1922, or II per cent,

With the exception Of railway equip
ment, fur goods, paints and dyes, print
ing and beverages every industry re-
ported a smaller weekly wage average

crease exceeds IS are cement and plas-
ter, jewelry and silverware, iron and
steel. cooking and heating apparatus,
ship building, paper and cotton goods.

overalls, work clothing, ETC., which
have been moving slowly for some time,
yesterday were repriced at 1923 per

in other numbers,
For some time denims have been SELL

list price, and although at the time the
price Of Is cents yard WAS placed on
the standard 220 the company as
se,ted that profit had been eliminated,

clear away the uncertainty surround
ing the denim trade for the last two
or three months. At the new prices de :
liveries will be made through August
and September and the prices are sub
ject to change without notice. All
orders also are subject to revision.

Black Ruling Color for Fall

Black promises to be the leading color
in women's garments for the coming
fall season. Early orders for fall dresses
placed by retailers have run largely to
black, especially III silks, and the orders
for fall shoes placed so far have been
heavier in black than in any other color.
The vogue for black is less noticeable
in the wooden goods and cloak and suit
trade, but is showing up strongly in
millinery, where black velvet is one Of
the most favored fabrics so far Dye
manufacturers have noticed an increase
in the call for fast black dyes within the
last month.
