Gain in Exports
Necessary, Says Dauis

Americas export trade, although
larger than some Of the pessimistic
believe, is smaller than it should be
to take care of our increased pro-
ductivc facilities, in the opinion of
q. X. Davis, secretary Of the Ma
tonal Foreign Trade Council. In
announcing tho councils ninth con-
vcntion, to be held in Philadelphia,
May 10 to IL, Mr.. Davis said:
"To judge from what some 'calam-
ity howlcrs' say it would appear
as if our foreign trade wcrc all
shot to pieces wonder how many
people realize that our exports for
the last six months have been SO
per cent greater in value than in
1913, and about Is per cent greater
in volume, and that in the six
months ended September, 1921, we
have exported commodities valued
at $2,025, 900 and have imported
goods valued at $1,197,S5O,OO0.
"The truth Of the matter is that
the productive capacity Of the
United States has been so greatly
increased during the war that our
former normal exports are not
nearly great enough to enable our
factories and farms to operate
prohtably at full capacity"

Big Gains in World Trade
Treasury Officials Note I'M
prOvement Home and Abroad

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Continued
Improvement in business conditions
both in this country and abroad was
foresecn to-day by Treasury officials.
Discussing the worlds business out
look. they declared that marked inn
provement both at home and among
European countriet could be seen. and
that, although no Immediate business
boom could be forecast slow but sure
recovery in conditions was to be eX
pected.
Such improvement as has taken place,
officials declared, has been due to natu
raj causes, and in the continued opera
tion of natural readjustment a general
betterment would be experienced. I'M
provement in foreign exchange, partic
ularly the rise in the pound sterling,
was cited as an example OF improve
ment abroad.
Success of the armament conference,
officials said, could be expected to have
a salutary effect in bettering the world
situation.

Syndicate TO Hold Silk
Recent Sale Covers Deliveries
Through February

Unsettlement of the raw silk market
by further offerings by the Teisan or
Japanese Imperial Syndicate is un-
likely, according to a cablegram re-
ceived yesterday by the Silk Associa-
ton Of America. Prominent American
silk manufacturers recently cabled the
Teisan advising it to release some of
its holdings. Officials of the syndicate
replied as follows:
owe have sold about one half the
quantity of our holdings in divided
deliveries up to the end Of February
at the buyers option. The balance
will not be disposed of for some time
and its sale probably will be divided
into several lots at other good oppor-
tunities so as not to affect the mar
ket'
The local raw silk market was
stronger yesterday and prices nomin-
ally were about Is to 20 cents pound
higher than last week

Hosiery Manufacturers Worry

The steep advances IN raw silk prices
in the last two months have unsettled
hosiery manufacturers. Few of the
hosiery producers covered themselves
very far in advance on supplies of raw
silk or silk yarns. New prices made
recently were based on raw silk much
under its present levels. Some manu-
facturers are advancing their prices Of
silk hosiery, while others. who feel
that the raw silk market is headed for
a decline, are absorbing the difference
and hoping for the decline to set in
soon. There is we'll founded belief
in hosiery circles that price advances
now will lead to a considerable curtail-
ment OF COnSumntinn.

Starched Cuffs Coming Back :?

Combined propaganda on the part of
shirt and collar makers and a leading
manufacturer of laundry machinery
designed to repopularize starched col
lars and cuffs among men is reported
to be bearing excellent fruit. A shirt
manufacturer who has remained pas
slve IN the controversy raging over the
starched cuffs reports that recent
large order from retailer who does a
tremendous business in ready-made
shirts called for far greater proper
ton of stiff cuffs than any order for
the last four or five wears.

Washington, Aug. 31.-"Uncle Joe"

stamped into his office at the capitol

Newspaper reports quoting Repre-
sentative Rodenberg. of Illinois. an
nouneing that Uncle joe will retire
from congress at the end of his pres
ent term, were the cause of the aged
legislators indignation.
It was announced that Uncle Joe"
is not yet ready to retire and no an
nouncement to this effect is author
lied. The veteran legislator will issue
a statement later, it is said.
Chicago, Aug. 31.-"Uncle Joe"

short involuntary Vacations will re-
tire at the end of his present term, ac-
cording to word brought by Repre-
sentative William A. Rodenberg, of
East st. Louis. Failing health, ac-
cording to Rodenberg, has caused the
veteran Illinois legislator and forme
speaker of the house to decide to re-
linquish his post.
His present term is the twenty-third
that Uncle joe has served as repre-
sentative of the DanviIle district. He
was defeated in 1890 and again in
1912, but each time regained his seat
