Leather.

Renewed interest in the leather mar
ket on the part Of foreign bdyers has
fuence on the situation. Several large
orders from Europeans are said to have
been received in the last, few days
One o. these orders, which called for

prices have been maintained and in
some instances slight advances made

Opposition to Rail
Shop Regulations
Stressed by Chief
Costly System Real Subject
of Interest to the Public,
Says 'Cuyler, Answering
Outside Repair Criticism

Thomas De Witt Cuyler, chairman of
the Association Of Railway Executives,
in Statement to the public about
the railway labor situation and out
side repairs to cars and locomotives" !"
I declared that the carriers had resorted
to emergency measures during the un-
exampled traffic congestion OF 1920,
which would have been almost criminal
neglect not to have done when the
country's business was suffering great
losses. Mr.. Cuyler said the railroads
welcome complete inquiry into the
reasons why they sent cars and loco
motives to outside shops for repairs
"The truth is that the effect Of the
rules and working conditions still con-
trolling the repair of equipment in rail-
way shops" Mr.. Cuyler declared, "has
been disastrous to efficiency and output,
and is in itself one of the causes Of
the abnormal number of cars and Loco
motives out Of repair.
"In SO far as the organization of rail
way repair employees have helped to
produce situation in which all of the
railway repair work could not be taken
care of in railway plants, or where out
side plants can now do the work more
economically and speedily than railway
shops, they have only themselves to
blame.
"The real point of public concern at
the present time is not the measures
taken by the railway companies for the
repair of cars and locomotives in 1920,
but Is the question now before the
United States Railroad Labor Board at
Chicago. as tc rules and working con-
ditions In railway companies shops.
"This involves millions upon millions
Of dollars. which, in the last analysis
are q charge to be paid By the public
often for work not even performed, re-
suit from unjust and burdensome reg
ulations, which, in the interest Of the
public, the railroads are seeking to
have changed"

Apparel

Retailers last week showed more in
terest in spring apparel than has been
apparent since the season opened. Ac-
cording. to reports, the manufacturers
OF mems clothing are booking good
business, enabling them to increase
the working forces at their factories.
The New York market continued in 8
deadlock with labor. Some of the New
York producers are now operating ont
of town factories or farming" their
orders out to other markets. it is be-
lieved.

garment field has Ted to price advances

Woolens

The establishment of new basis of
prices on spring woolens and worsted
by the American Woolen Company, the
largest factor in the cloth trade
formed the principal development of
that market last week. The new prices
averaged about third less than the
opening prices in September. Buying
was Stimulated by the low prices and
the guaranty of them up to the next
opening by the company Women's
wear tabrlcs were revised on Wednes-
day and almost immediately were sold
up. The revision in mems wear goods
was made on Friday and led to fairly
heavy buying on the part of clothing
manufacturers. The prices, it was
said, We're slightly lower than the ma
Jorlty OF traders were anticipating, and
were taken as an indication that the
big company was determined to 90
through with drastic liquidation in
preparation for the new season.

Price is still one Of the most I'M
portant problems in general tradlns.
AS was expected, advances have peeh
made in those lines that fell TO aonol-
mally low points through the Aons ing
period of inactivity. and efforts are
being made in many directions TO use
the renewed buying spirit as leveI
for advancing quotations. On !ne
other hand there is a determined spirAe

1eWelw

Leading factors in the jewelry trade
have expressed optimism despite the
depression which is still in evidence.
Slight reductions have been made in
the price of diamonds in Holland,
which have been relative to the drop in
exchange rates, while there have been
virtually no reductions in the price Of
diamonds cut here.
Although some iewclry statesmen are
already on the road with their spring
line. the major number of statesmen
will start later this year than has been
the customary time for taking the
road. A leading manufacturer re-
marked that the reason for this de-
layed start "is to give their customers
time to pay their bills"
More favorable reports have been
received from retailers on the business
done last year. Ring manufacturers
have estimated the business in rings
during 1920 to be 10 TO Is per cent be-
low the figure for the preceding year.
A reduction in the price Of gold and
platinum rings, they asserted, is not
probable, although there have been
some reductions made in the price of
the cheap quality of rings. with further
reductions promised in the near future

Furs

Misgivings as to the ability of the
fur trade to absorb new offerings were
dispelled by the fairly spirited bidding
at the winter sale Of the New York
Fur Auction Sales Corporation last
week in this city. Although the de-
cline in values, as compared with the
last sale held by the company in April.
1920, ranged from 40 to rs per cent.
striking general average of about so
per cent, the prices paid at the auction
in most cases were equal to open mar
ket prices, and in some cases, particu-
larly in summer furs, were conceded to
be slightly above prices that have pre-
vailed for some time. The easier
money conditions have helped the fur
trade, it is believed.
