SILK MARKET DEPRESSION
SHOWS DECLINE OF LUXURIES
Consumption Low and Demand Slack Due To
Public Tendency to Avoid Luxuries.

The United States reflected its
prosperity in 1919 and 1920 in the
consumption OF siIk. Last year
something like $500. .00o, 900 worth
OF silk was used in the country
and world prices were boosted to
unstable heights, with the result
that when tAe silk era passed
there was a collapse in the silk
market. This was very serious to
Japan, where tho silk industry Is
so important to the national pros
perity.
1t is interesting to note the pres
ent situation as an indicator of the
decreased use of this high-pricec
fabric as shown by prices, market
depression and reduced imports
The United States being the larger
consumer Of raw silk in the world
dominates the consuming market.
We usually import from so to IS
per cent of the worlds production,
which was estimated to amount to
about 60,000,000 pounds in 1913.
While our consumption of silk has
been quite steadily growing during
the last twenty years, the great
increase of 1880 was chiefly used
as luxury by many who had
heretofore not been large buyers
Of this material.
The following record Of imports
and import prices for a number OF
years gives a good idea of the high
level reached during the last year
or two.

Value Of products. .s6ss, ,e4s, 900 1884. oil 900
The increase in values is partly
due to increased values though there
has been a substantial increase in
quantity production. The industry
is largely centered in the East, with
establishments located as follows:
New Jersey, $50: Pennsylvania, S73;
New York. 1S3; Connecticut. Al;
Rhode Island, 80. Pennsylvania
leads in value Of products, turning
out S3.6 per cent against 3l.2 per
cent for New Jersey.
An increased dtmand for silk from
Europe was recently reported in the
market news. This Is hardly sup
ported by the figures on the silk
imports of the United Kingdom for
the last six months compared with
previous years. Europe had no
great silk year in 1880, as did the
United states, but the trade in silks
over there increased in 1920, as in
dicated in the following tabulation:

IL VIII be noted that the i'm
ports this year are lass than half
those of 1913 in raw silks. and mu"h
below in piece goods. England does
not re-export much silk, and her
trade consists largely of the sup
ply needed for her own people.
Her exports of silk manufactures
do not amount to large totals. As
a whole the silk situation indicates
the change in public sentiment with
regard to the purchase Of q mate

Pirates here this afternoon that they
made only two hits In the first SIX

Dodgsr.
Before the seventh was over Ruether

Harris were tied with Adams for the
record before the contest.
Adams was hit freely by the Dodgars
during his seven inning reign. They
made nine OF their ten hits off him, but

OF the only error charged against the
league leaders and pushed over both
their tallies. Wheat was safe when
Tierney foosled his grounder. Myers
sacrificed and Schmandt hit a two
bagger to right that scored Wheat.
After Kilduff had been retired on long
fly to Bigbee Kruger singled over Sec
ond and Schmandt sconsd. Kruger

He was left stranded when Mitchell

In the seventh the Pirates settled the
game. Barnhart led off with q single to
left and Tierney famed. Grimm singled
to right. Brottem had two strikes called
on him when he singled to centre. scor-
ing Barnhart. Cutshaw, batting for
Adams. was a successful pinch hitter
He cracked out two Dagger to right

At this juncture Mitchell turned the
pitching burden over to Ruether. Big
bee greeted the relief hurler with a
sharp single over second. and Brottem
and Cutshaw scored with what proved
to be the winning tallies. After Carey
had fouled to Wheat, who made run
ming catch. Bigbee died stealing.
Zinn was on the mound for the Pirates
whom the Dodgers batted in the eighth,
and after Wheat and Myers were re-
tired Schmandt drew pass and took
second on a wild pitch. Kilduff. how
ever. was tossed out by Maranville.
In the ninth. with one out, Ruether
singled and Neis ran for him. Olson
ended the game by hitting into O double
play. The score:
