Clothing.


Strong demand for mems clothing
is anticipated by the manufacture
-ers here in October. They believe
that the heavy purchases of ex-
tremely lightweight summer goods
will bring a strong demand for fall
garments as soon as the days turn
colder.
tChicago.-One large manufacture
er reports that shipments of mems
clothing for 1921 have exceeded
those of 1919 by rs per cent. There
is no over supply of manufactured
goods due to caution of buyers in
placing orders. Manufacturers are
complaining of overdue accounts es-
pecially in the south and southwest.
Shirts
New York.-Shirt manufacturers
have shown less inclination to make
price concessions to buyers in the
last few days. Prices for materials
have hardened and the markets are
evincing a disposition to cut material
only on order.
Dry Goods.
New Orleans-Clearance sales this
month are attracting lareg number
of buyers to dry goods and depart
ment stores and the turnover prom
ises to be fully as good as that Of
1920.
Cottons.
New York.-Activity continues in
the cotton goods market here with
gray goods strong. Mills are disin-
clined to take large orders at pres
ent prices as it is believed further
advances are probable. Chambrays
and bleached goods have been ad-
vanced slightly by some sellers in
keeping with the higher level for
gray goods.
Wool.
Chicago.-The Illinois Agricultur-
al association has asked the aid of
the individual banks Of Illinois in
aiding the financing of the wool pool
of the association by making advanc-
es to wool growers who are holding
their wool for future sale.

grades of salmon.
Delaware City, Del.-Hhe expected
run of sturgeon has not materialized
and fishermen are beginning to doubt
if the sturgeon will appear in profit
able quantities this year.
Fish Oils.
New Ycrk.-There has been an in
creased demand for some of the fish
oils, rejecting better conditions in

throughout this section in all lines
of business except construction.
Merchants and farmers Of the south
and west again are exhibiting opti-
mism. They declare that the exporta-
ton of grain and credit arrangements
for foreign marketing Of cotton have
so improved their condition that they
see a clear way out of their difficult
ties. Bankers are feeling relief from
the long financial strain and devel-
opments promise easier contraction
of credits during the remainder Of
the year.
The operations Of the live stock
pool have provided stock growers
against the necessity Of selling
breeding cattle. Bank loans are
standing still while deposits and re-
serves are increasing. There are
more buyers in the commercial CEN
ters than at any time for many
years and whole sale establishments
are thronged with merchants from
the rural towns. Merchants are re-
turning to their pre-war habits Of
personally visiting jobbers and in
specting merchandise and wholesale
business has been greatly stimulated
Retail turn-overs are rapid with
prices marked down and sales ex-
plotted vigorously by more liberal
advertising.

increased demand and commodity
prices in general have shown an in
clination to advance, although there
still are many commodities where
price adjustments have not hit bot
tom.

Browne belt for officers has been ap-
proved by the war department which
has not only one strap but two over
the shoulders.
Gloversville, N. Y.-The glove
manufacturers here see little pros
pect Of reduction in prices this
season. The shortage of the leather
Of which the popular mocha gloves
are made is given as one obstacle.
Even children's gloves are priced
around s24 a dozen, while those for
adults run up to $40.
Shoes.
New York-As evidencing the low
state of shoe stocks throughout the
country, a Brooklyn manufacturer

IRISH PARLIAMENT CONSIDERS TREATY; DECISION AWAITED

LONDON, Dec. 17-An eyes are turned toward Dublin today, where the Irish parliament is continuing its deliberations on the Irish treaty and the consensus of opinion among the Irish correspondents of London newspapers seems to be that yes terdays decisions have added to the strength to the prospects of the treaty.
 One of the decisions referred to was the ratification yesterday, by both houses of the British parlia- ment, of the Irish treaty which creates Ireland a free state. The votes showed an overwhelming num- Der of lawmakers in favor of rati- fcation.
 The house of commons adopted the reply to the speech from the throne on the Irish agreement and rejected a Unionist amendment to the address by vote of 401 to 5s. The adoption of the address was, in effect, an acceptance of the treaty.
 The house of lords took similar action 8 few minutes later, and al so rejected the proposed amend ment, the vote being 166 to 47.
