Cottons

The response to the openings of
ginghams for spring, to be delivered
from October to April at prices ap-
proximately the same as those named
some time ago, gave considerable en-
enlargement to the entire cotton goods
trade. Several of the spring bingham
offerings have been completely sold up
and Withdrawn from further sale.
Wash goods IN general i for SG spring g
1922, are attracting little attention yet.
Jobbers are unwilling to operate on
these goods SO far ahead. Percales
and branded bleached goods are still
strong and sold ahead as far as mill
agents are willing to take orders in
most cases.
The gray or unfinished goods divi-
sion of the trade showed more price
strength and activity than the week
before. The standard $3.50, 3Sh inch
print cloths showed an eighth of a cent
yard advance during the week, going
from 6i2 to So cents. A demand for
sheetings developed during the week,
Both for domestic use, principally by
the bag trade, and FOR export shipment
Some constructions advanced a quarter
OF cent a yard.

Silks

Comparative dullness prevailed in
the finished silk goods market last
week, but manufacturers are hopeful
OF greater activity once fall operations
in the garment trades get under way.
Retailers have not anticipated their
full fall requirements and more bust
ness will come from that direction ac-
cording to the producers here. Some
dissatisfaction with present prices are
registered by the buyers, but the pro
ducers assert that based on the cost
Of production prices should tend up
ward rather than downward.
The raw silk market huctuated dur
ing the week, but was generally quiet,
except for few special constructions
which manufacturers need for immedi-
ate use. The shortage here was re-
leved to some extent by the arriva
of fresh shipments from Japan. Local
prices closed the week slightly softer
than at the opening.

Textiles continue to furnish theS
hr;shtest spot in the industry as a
whele. Cottons and woolens appear to
Nave definitely struck the road to in
sreasing demand. Silks, which for a
s;me led the other textiles in recovery,
are now taking what some traders term
= breathing spell, awaiting fresh ad-
vance. The silk situation, moreover,
i complicated because the control of
the raw material supply lies without
our borders. whereas in other lines we
nroduce the bulk OF our own raw mate
rails.
are definitely committed to hand-to-
mouth policy in merchandising for
some time TO come was strikingly IL
ustrated last week. Although the num-
her of buyers for retail establishments
who visited this market last week was
the largest of the year, the volume of
Wholesale business. according to all re-
ports, did not increase in proportion to
the augmented number Of purchasers.
1t did, however, show a healthy ad-
vance. At the meeting of the Jobbers'
Association of Dress Fabric Buyers on
Tuesday there was distinct note of
caution running through the proceed
;ngs The jobbers went on record as
desiring the restoration of many bust
ness practices cast aside in the days of
the war and in the postwar boom.
These wholesale distributors were not
pessimistic, and frequently asserted
that business was showing an improve
ment, but hopes of any quick revival
and sharp rise in prices were quashed
BY leading speakers. The resolution
adopted at the convention calling upon
the producers of dress goods fabrics to
defer making their spring openings
until October IS indicated that the job
bers cannot satisfy themselves that
price revisions will not be made later
on if the primary offerings of goods are
made so far in advance.
Retail business last week was stimu-
lated by still further price reductions.
The retailers are making no secret of
the fact that the general consuming
public is actively seeking not only
lower prices, but in many cases lower
qualities, in its efforts to economize.
This 5 reflected to some extent in the
fall buying that the retail merchants
are doing now. There is trend to-
ward the lower grades of merchandise
in apparel and accessories that is
causing some concern in manufacturing
circles.

Apparel

The selling of fall apparel at whole
sale IS progressing in hesitating man
hcr. In the women's end of the trade
retailers are operating with extreme
caution and are complaining of prices.
manufacturers say that present prices
are as low as possible with the raw
material and labor markets at their
present levels. Dresses are more active
man coats and suits. The waist trade
rs comparatively inactive. Some of
me accessory manufacturers report
good business.

As"er prices has caused some shifting

leader in the cloth trade, will begin its
selling season of spring, 1922, fabrics
in several departments to-day. This
will officially open the spring season
In the trade, as other manufacturers
are preparing to show their goods i'm
mediately following the American open
ing. 1t is recognized in wooden circles
that the big company leads in setting
the opening date and the price level as
we'll. While there is some speculation
concerning what the American will do
about prices, it is generally felt that,
weight for weight, spring cloths will
show no reduction from the prices set
upon fall goods early this year. In
fact, opinion seems about evenly
divided between no change in prices
and slight advance.

Leather

AN appreciable increase in orders of
foreign sources and a continuance of
large purchases Of domestic packer
nldes were the outstanding features in
Ihe general leather trade last week.
Germany and several other Euronean
countries were reported to have entered
gne market for purchases of hides.
Inc large accumulation of domestic
packer hides was reduced considerably.
and prices were stiffened as the results
or large operations. Conservative buv-
ing of country hides was done bv tam
ners. Staple leather was slightly more
active.
Brooklyn shoe factories were run at
full capacity last week. Normal nro-
duction is expected in the entire shoe
industry within the next two weeks.
Jewelry
It was learned last week that the new
price lists of several clock manufac-
tuners We're, on the average, 10 per cent
lower than the January prices. The
trend of business was reported upward.
Reductions, averaging 20 per cent on
most watches, were made by a leading
company. l>s5sration in the demand
was felt by ma sufacturers.
Jewelry statesmen calling on the re-
tail trade last week turned in what
most wholesalers termed "a near nor
NAL volume of orders" Manufacturers
were fllllng orders received few weeks
ago. Ihe filling of orders by silver
ware manufacturers has not been ham
pered by the strike which has been in
force In the local industry here since
January.

F,irs

:. The fur trade in general showed
little change in its status last week.
A few retailers were in the market
making purchases for their annual
August fur sales, but this anticipatory
business was in smaller volume than
usual. Fewer retailers are holding
these sales this year, and those who
are putting them on are doing SO with
smaller stocks, according to informal
ton among the manufacturers and
wholesalers here. In the buying that
mas progressed so far there is swing
toward staple goods, with coats in the
iead. Little business has developed on
the smaller fur pieces.
Raw furs were moderately active.
considerable quantities are being
.aAen by the cloak and suit trade for
trimming purposes. Here. again, the
staples appear to lead in sales, while
me fancy furs are in relatively smaller
demand. Prices remained unchanged.
