able to the further development of
the cotton crop in this section OF
the state, according to the belief OF
L. C. Hutson assistant general-man.
ager of the Chickasha Cotton Oil
Because of the rainy weather
earlier in the season, the roots of
the cotton did not go deep into the
ground, otherwise adapting itself to
a wet season This condition makes
the cotton more easily affected by
the scorching heat Mr.. Hutson says.
On the other hand. the work of
the boil weevil will be lessened by
the extremely hot weather which al.
ready has killed many of the pests,
Mr.. Hutson believes. He estimates
that unless conditions are quickly
changed, the 1921 Grady county cot
ton crop will produce no more than
1000 or 5000 bales, compared with
approximately 10000 last year.
The boil weevil pest has been a
severe blow to the cotton farmers
of this section of the state and has
decreased the first esti-
mate Of the possible production in
the county, according to Mr.. Hut
son.
Gins Soon to Open

Grady county cotton gins will be in
operation soon after September /.

Because ginning facilities were not

COttOns

The pressing demand for both unfin-
ished and finished cotton goods showed
a falling off last week, with weaker
prices in the unfinished or gray goods
division of the trade. Prices of fin
ished fabric are firm and advancing in
some instances. The drop in gray
goods, which brought 64-6o, 3s1a inch
print cloths down to 81 cents yard
toward the close of the week, was at
tributed by some to the decline in raw
cotton.
On staple finished goods most of the
mills are. sold up for the next sixty
days. Orders for delivery beyond April
/ are being refused. Mill owners and
commission merchants assert that the
prices at which the production for the
next two months has been sold do not
give them sufficient margin Of profit
to continue selling on this basis. Some
criticism has been leveled at those who
made the extremely low prices on ging-
hams, which was generally followed by
producers of percales and other fabrics.
1t is felt that the market could have

Leather

Although conditions have shown
gradual improvement, the marked in
crease in the activity Of buyers, which
was prevalent the preceding week,
has somewhat simmered down. The
outstanding feature was the sale Of 800
tons of sole leather for Russian
account by "a leading leather house.
There has been an increased demand for
heavy sole leather, ooze calf and glazed
kid and. the prices on these articles
have stiffened, although still below
reasonable figure. Nominal prices
on all lines have been maintained.
The shoe manufacturing centers re-
ported that virtually all the plants are
operating on part time at least and it
is expected that before spring full time
will be in vogue. Many plants are said
to, be running about 80 to 80 per cent
of their capacity. Despite the in
creased orders for spring footwear
that shoe retailers are placing with
manufacturers there is continued un-
certainty in the price element. Manu-
facturers show little tendency toward
buying for future requirements. The
orders which are being placed are said
to be for immediate needs.

Furs

A renewal Of speculation in furs has
led to announcements from the conser-
vative element in the trade. Already
manufacturing furrers have voiced their
resentments against the sharp advances
in muskrat and squirrel prices and
some of them have declared their in
tention Of using other furs to replace
these popular skins. The speculation
apparently is unwarranted, as retailers
have made no move as yet toward plac-
ing orders for goods for next fall and
winter. Manufacturing is at low ebb
and new samples are not being shown
yet. The potential demand for furs was
demonstrated at the fur auctions dur
ing the previous week, and spectators
have seized upon this as a starting
point for another boom.
The St. Louis sales have been post
poned until February 21. The Montreal
sale takes place this week, and the an
nual winter auctions will begin to-day
in London with offerings by the Hudson
Bay Company. Australian furs were
sold last week in London with declines
of from 10 to 40 per cent, compared to
October prices. Australian opossum was
we'll bought and showed the smallest
percentage of decline. Leipzig mer-
chants were fairly active at the sale.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-31
Apparel

Steady improvement is reported from
the wholesale apparel markets, with
the women's garment industry leading
the field. The buying of dresses has
been fairly active and consistent, but
activity in coats and suits is limited,
although manufacturers anticipate
period of concentrated buying in these
lines within the next few weeks. Great
complication in the manufacture of
dresses and the fact that the demand
for dresses is not as seasonal as for
coats and suits explain the willingness
OF retailers to anticipate their wants
in the dress line. Children's gar
ments are moving we'll and leading
manufacturers report sufficient orders
to operate their factories at capacity
and even overtime.
The mems apparel trade is still drag
ging, although orders are coming in
more rapidly each week. The retail
ers evidently intend starting the new
season with as little merchandise on
hand as possible, and of relying on the
open market Cor more goods as they
reed them.

been made, when figures from inven-i
tory are given they will show slight
variance from prevailing prices. This
year 10 expected to bring return to
normal business.
BY February l practically all the
jcwelry statesmen will have taken the
! Dad with theiy spring line Of samples.
The longer period for inventory taking
is said to be the main reason for the
delayed start Of these statesmen. Con-
siderable improvement is expected to
be shown within the next four weeks.
The orders which are now being re-
ceived by jewellers arc said to be
filling-in orders.
The disagreement between leading
silversmiths and their employees over
the lengthening of the working week
still exists. Objection to tho plan of
the, silversmiths to work four hours
more week without additional COM
pensation, in place Of cut in the
wages of the employees, was made on
January 3, from which date the new
working week became effective.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-31

AStAASxS AAu JODDerS OF Qry gCOuS
have not shaken Off their caution and
their determination to buy only for i'm
mediate needs, despite the slight price
advafices that have taken place in some
spcts Of the cotton, silk and woolen
trades, and that are becoming more
apparent in seasonal lines of apparel.
On the other hand, they have shaken
off their apathy toward the wholesale
markets and are filling in their broken
stocks and making fair sized purchases
where prices are appealing.
/ Reports concerning the size Of stocks
that retailers and wholesalers are
vary considerably. Those who main
tain that the retail shelves of the
country are close to a state of bare
ness seem to be as wide of the mark
as those who insist that stocks are abb
normally heavy. One thing is certain,
however-the retail trade and large
majority Of the dry goods jobbers have
greater quantity Of staple merchan-
disc on hand than they would like to
have, and good part Of it was pur-
chased at prices higher than replace
considerably in the inventory taking
process now nearing completion. Most
Of the retailers have been taking in
ventories during the last week. The
pressure to sell merchandise on hand,
except in the purely seasonal lines, is
still stronger with the retailer than
the desire to acquire new stocks.
In some cases, particularly in hos
iery, underwear and furnishing goods
in general, there has been "a strong
disposition among some retailers to
purchase new goods at present levels,
average their cost with stock on hand
and put out special sales to clear out
both lots of merchandise. Numerous
stories of successful merchandising
along these lines have come to light
recently.
Lower retail prices have broken the
backbone of the consumers buying
strike, according to all lcrorts. In dol
lars and cents retail trade in Decem-
ber, as shown in reports made to vari-
Gus Federal Reserve banks, was we'll
sustained, falling below 1919 in but
were lower in December, 1920, than in
the holiday period of 1919 is recalled
the inference is that the movement of
merchandise into the hands of con-
sumers is larger in units than for the
same period a year ago, when the wave
| of extravaganza was at its height.
| Unemployment continues as vital
factor in the business situation, par
ticularly as affecting consumers pur-
chasing power. 1t is reported that the
reopening of factories in the textile
and shoe districts of New England has
about Offset spread Of unemploy-
ment in other industries. The Middle
West, according to reports, is the hard
est sufferer from unemployment at
present.

Woolens

Some sections of the wooden and
worsted goods trade are showing con-
siderable Improvement Fabrics for
women's wear appear to be in growing
demand and some price advances have
been made. Offerings Of staple dress
goods for the new season were made by
one of the producers upon low basis
and was followed by better buying
than. was anticipated.
The mems wear end of the trade is
still dull, with the possible exception
of the goods being liquidated by the
American Woolen Company upon a new
price basis announced more than a
week ago.
The mems clothing manufacturers are
making slow progress in booking spring
business, and in addition the New York
market is hampered by continuation
OF the labor trouble.
Raw wool was less active than in the
previous week, although prices were
fairly firm throughout. Financial in
ability is given as the principal rea-
son for the lack Of buying of raw sup
plies on the part of the large mills.
