Two Women Customers
See Cigar Store Hold-Up

Harry G. Hyams, of % East Ninety
ninth Street, lost 5000 and two Gus
toners last night, when bandit walked
irto the United Cigar Store, of which
he is manager, at Ninety second Street
and Second Avenue.
Hyams was waiting on Mrs. L.
Mayer, of 248 East Ninety-fourth
Street, who had come in to confide to
him that she made mistake in buying
her husband cigars for Christmas she
wanted something with q different kind
of band on them-when tall man
dressed in gray, with his coat collar
turned up and his hat pulled down over
his eyes, walked in. Leveling a gun at
Hyams, he ordered him to open his
cash drawer Mrs. Mayer walked out
of the store rapidly.
Before the bandit finished emptying
the cash drawer, another woman en-
tered. She wanted a package Of
cigarettes. When she saw what was
going on she left at once. The first
report of the hold-up which the police
received was that made by Hyams him
self. 1t was made ten minutes after
the bandit had left, for the man in
gray had requested his victim to make
no outcry until he got we'll away from
the place.

Patrolman Loses Club;
Says Prisoner Shot Self

Some one telephoned to the Simpson
Street police station, in the Bronx, last
night that there was riot in Long
wood Avenue. Patrolman Musgrave
found a crowd but no riot. The crowd
assured him that there had been one,
however. Stephen Lukosky, they said,
had been fighting his brother, Charles.
After looking over the somewhat bat
tered Charles, Musgrave went to Ste
phen's home, $50 Longwood Avenue,
and undertook to arrest him. Shephen,
the patrolman said, seized his night
stick and, with the assistance of Ignatz
Kolzwlo and Martin Kominsko, dragged
him down flight of stairs and into
Stephens basement home.
The patrolman said he had been
felled by. blow from his own night
stick when he managed to draw his
revolver and ordered his assailants to
put up their hands or he'd shoot.
Stephen, the patrolman said, seized the
revolver and in the struggle the
weapon was discharged, the bullet
lodging in Stephens thigh.
He was taken to Lincoln Hospital, a
prisoner, charged with felonious as
sault. His two friends were locked up
on similar charges and Charles Lukos-
ky was arrested on a charge of dis
orderly conduct. The fighting brought
such crowd that the reserves had to
be called to restore order. Musgrave
was attended by an ambulance surgeon
and went home

Wounded Entertained

Captain Bevidere Brooks Post
held Christmas party last Friday eve
ming The wounded men Of the Recon-
struction Hospital were the guests of
the post. There was an elaborate en-
tertainment, consisting of six reel
motion picture, a Jazz orchestra, pro-
fessional entertainers and the distribu-
ton Of gifts. A large Christmas tree
held the gifts and one of the committee
acted as Santa Claus in making the
presents to the wounded mon.
Kings County Post 500 had special
features for the disabled men. COM
mittee was appointed several weeks ago
to make arrangements for the enter
tainment of a number of the disabled
men of the Fox Hills Hospital. The
fund created was used in purchasing
presents for these men.
Harry Schaefer, Revillc Post of
the American Legion, was in charge
of the delegation from the post as
signed to visit the men in Fox Hills
Hospital. The committee was among
the first to arrive. Virtually every
member of the post contributed to the
general fund for relief among the
wounded men. Another feature Of the
Christmas program; of the post was the
establishment of 4 fund from which
the members who are unemployed or in
need of financial aid during the holiday
season may obtain funds.

.Jewelry

To retail jewellers the last week was
the most profitable week in the year.
Business turned out better than they
anticipated. The volume of sales in
units came close to a parity with sales
in the corresponding week of the pre-
cedng year. In value in dollars. re-
tailers in general experienced decline
from last year.
The caution which buyers exercised
In purchasing this year was in sharp
contrast to the ind scriminate buying
which featured the gift season in the
preceding war years. All medium and
low-priced jcwelry moved with rcgu-
larity. Less interest was manifested
in expensive articles, and rarely were
sales of magnitude reported.
With the passing of the holidays the
jewelry trade will lapse into a period
Of seasonal dullness.

Three Opera Tenors Ill

Three of the leading tenors of the
Metropolitan Opera Company were suf-
fering from colds last night, and will
be unable to appear tonight.
They are Giovanni Martinelli, Giulio
Crimi and Mario Chamlee. Their in
disposition caused sudden change in
the bill for tonight at the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, and instead of Verdi's
"Ernani' double bill will be given.
1t will consist Of "Cavallera Rust-
cana and "Pagliacci.'
In the former Mines. Ponselle, Perrin
and Berat and Messrs. Gigli and Picco
will appear, and in the latter Nine.

laurent and Paltrnieri. The three
tenors are expected to be indisposed

last week. Local quotations, however,
are still under primary market prices.
Manufacturers reported better buying
of finished silks. with an increase in
orders for future delivery. Prices are
being advanced in sympathy with the
higher raw material costs, but are not
yet on full replacement basis, it is
said.
Printed silks and crcpes are leading
in the demand for spring goods. Gar
ment manufacturers are reported to be
and retailers also are beginning to
stock some of the spring goods. job
bcrs are not particularly active, but as
many of them will be in the market
next month more jobbing buying is
anticipated then.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-26
Woolens

The woolen and worsted cloth trades
are in the between-seasons period and
consequently little activity was appar-
ent. Raw wool continued it's firmness
and made the position Of the mills
which are about to offer their good for
next falls use more difficult. During
the week some pessimistic sentiment
was observed when it became known
that retailers and clothing manufac-
turers are we'll stocked with winter
garments. On the other hand. William
Company, the largest producer of cloth
in the country, announced that no wage
reductions would be made in the COM
pany's mills, although the coming sea-
son promised to be one Of exceedingly
sharp competition.
New-York tribune., 1921-12-26


Outside OF the retail trade, however,
business generally had the pre- holiday
apathetic appearance. Raw cotton and
primary cotton goods continued rm and
fairly active. Raw silk was slightly
more active and higher and raw wool
continued firm. Finished goods showed
no price changes and on the whole were
quiet.
Speculation concerning the outlook
for 1922 is increasing and generally
predictions are Of a more optimistic
nature than they we're year ago.
Fundamentally conditions are measur-
ably improved. The financial situation
has cleared considerably, money rates
are lower, most of the large surplus
stock of raw materials and finished
goods have been liquidatcd and both
production and consumption in various
lines, where comparisons are available,
are generally around twice what they
were year ago.

Leather

The leather trade last week moved
further along the highway Of readjust-
ment. In the hide market more
strength was apparent and inquiries
were more numerous, although actual
transactions remained small. Activity in
the foreign hide markets was intensi-
fed and stocks appeared greatly de-
pleted.
The increased interest in the leather
market manifested by shoe manufac-
turers augurs we'll for tanners in the
new year. The potential demand al
ready has instillcd unbounded optimism
in the trade. qualified leather
continues to enjoy good run. With
low priced shoes still holding their
popularity, production at the factories

Apparel

The pre-holiday period normally is
dull in wearing apparel, both in the
Wholesale and retail fields and this
year has been no exception. Despite
the strike in the cloak and suit trade,
production on spring samples is going
forward.
In the mems wear division surplus
stocks are left on the hands of retail
ers and manufacturers, with the result
that some price cutting is expected
shortly. SO far the business on mems
suits has been extremely poor, al
though overcoats have ,een fairly ac-
tive. Looking toward next fall, cloth
ing manufacturers are trying to devise
means to bring prices down still fur
ther to get into the popular consuming
price range. Spring clothing for men
has been ordered fairly we'll, according
to all reports.

After a visit to the DrcxeI Hospital

assure men at this Christmas time the
American Legion submits to you the
following plan for immediate action in
