Drought Causes Concern
In England and France
British Industry Optimistic;
Business Crisis Across the
Channel Is Still Inin7prored

WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Optimsm
was the general keynote OF British in
dustry during July, while the business
crisis persisted in France with scarcely
any indications of improvement. &C
ccrdng to the monthly cabled summary
of conditions in western Europe and
South Africa, issued tonight by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce.
Drought in both France and England
was reported to be causing serious con-
Germ with the expectation of inferior
crops, although the wheat prospect in
presaging smaller imports of grain.
Continued depression in Scandinavia
and South Africa was also reported.
Restoration of confidence. bringing q
revival of trade in heretofore dormant
lines in Great Britain, Trade Commits
sioner Page at London declared, has
resulted from the settlement of aggra-
waited industrial troubles. Indications,
he added, are that there will be indus
trial peace for some time. e
1t is realized throughout England, he
asserted, that a thorough revival Of bus
mess is dependent upon cheaper coal,
which is looked for under the settle
ment of the recent strike, and an eco
nomc improvement in Great Britaln's
European markets.
Activities of the French government
aimed at industrial rehabilitation have
not been checked by the business de-
preston in that country, Trade Com
missioner Butler at Paris reported.
Liquidation of the government mer-
chant marine, which has shown deh-
cit of nearly two billion francs, has
been approved, he said. Manufacture
ers in the devastated regions, 1T waa
reported, intend to issue a reconstruct
ton loan of 100000 COO francs. New
forms Of taxation are being consld,
cred. Mr.. Butler said, as the tax yield
in 1922 is expected to be about three
billion francs less than expenditures.

Leather

Although business in the leather
market again was of purely routine
character, the volume of leather moved
last week was slightly in excess of the
preceding week. Broadening in the de-
mand for calfskins, sheepskins and side
leather was perceptible, although buy
ers, rs rule, were not inclined to or
der much ahead Of immediate require
ments. There was a larger movement
in light and heavyweight hemlock tan
nages Operations in tanneries have
not been increased to any great extent,
and the belief is prevalent that with
the working off OF the large accumula-
tons of leather a scarcity will de-
velop, following general revival Of
orders calling for large quantities of
leather.
Many shoe factories are now operat-
ing at full capacity, with production in
others steadily increasing. Judging
from the reports Of shoe retailers who
are conducting clearance sales on sum
mer and sport shoes, little of this stock
will be found on the shelves when the
season is over.

Allied Packers Asks
Deposit of Debentures

The committee of readjustment of
Allied Packers, Inc, of which George
W. Dawson, president of the Central
Union Trust Company, of New York, is
chairman, says that up to July 81, the
under the plan dated April 80, there
were deposited with the committee
about 100000 of the $4,000, 900 de-
benture bonds, but the amount de-
posiled fell short of the amount re-
quired to justify the committee in at
tempting to consummate the plan.
The committee has decided to give
the holders of undeposited debentures
final opportunity to put the COM
mittee in position to consummate the
plan. and has extended the time for de-
posts to September 49,

To Improve Tanning Process

Methods by which the tanning Of
hides can be fastened without the sac
rifce of quality will be discussed at
the meeting of the leather chemistry
section of the American Chemical So
ciety to be held at Columbia Unver-
sity on September and g. The saw
ing of time and the releasing of large
sums of money from it's investment in
raw material thus would have the tend
ency to stabilize and perhaps eventu-
ally lower leather prices, is the belief
of American chemists. 1t is expected

the fact that cotton goods have largely
displaced silks for summer wear this
year has been responsible, in the opin-
ION Of some silk manufacturers. Prices
on finished silks, however, are holding
fairly firm. Distress goods are almost
an unknown quantity in the market,
and manufacturers are curtailng pro-
duction rather than pile up goods for
stock.
A few of the novelty silks are in good
demand. but the staples, for the most
part, are inactive Raw silk prices
dropped slightly during the week Ac-
cumuations of raw silk in Japan are
increasing more rapidly than some
manufacturers here anticipated, and
this has brought about still further
caution and reserve in the raw silk
markets.

If there is no heavy frost it is est-

which will he enough to satisfy re-

Reports from various sections of the
country apparently reveal steady
drift toward freer movement of goods
of all kinds. Business is spotty, but
the bright spots are beginning to ex-
coed in number the darker hued sec
tions. Retail business is holding up
remarkably we'll, even in those sec
tions which have been hit hardest by
the industrial depression, and where
unemployment is serious factor At
the same time retailers assert that it is
becoming more difficult to dispose of
high priced goods, and that the press
ure for lower retail prices all along the
line shows no abatement
The retailers are still buying eau
tiously, but their forward prepare
tions for the fall season broadened
considerably last week. Reports from
Chicago indicate better wholesale trade
there, largely due to the Pageant Of
Progress, which brought a large num-
Der of retailers to the city. Special
selling events and a fashion show in
this city brought host of retailers
here during the week and augmented
wholesale business resulted. Orders
for *he most part cover only the re-
quirements of the merchants for the
next sixty days.

lIl's

The fur market, while broadening
under the influence of seasonal demand
is still far from normal. The retail
August fur sales have not turned out
uniformly successful, and has given
little encouragement to the raw fur
dealers and manufacturing furriers for
an exceptionally large season. Con-
servative fur men are looking forwa I'd
to steady business, chiefly in medium
priced goods. Prices are showing firm
ness in the face of the smaller demand
and the supply of furs is not excep-
tionally large, according to all reports.

Outside of the offerings of the Ameri-
can Wooden Company for spring, 1922,
the market as a whole has not shown
n disposition to move into the new sea-
son. The American Wooden Company's

have been withdrawn and several lines
Of mems goods are completely sold up.
Fancy worsteds will be offered by the
company to-day and Independent lines
also will be shown during the week
Judging By the, response to the Ameri-
cans opening, other manufacturers an
ticipate no price changes in the near
future. In fact. some lines that have
been opened are said to be slightly
higher, quality for quality, than the
Americans.

Cottons

Advances were made in print cloths
and sheeting in the open market last
week Export buying Of sheetings has
filled some mills with orders and has
necessitated shift in machinery, thus
cutting down production for the domes-
tic market. Too rapid advances in the
unfinished goods market, however, APP
parently shocked off buying to some
extent. Mills, however, showed greater
price frmness and Willingness to make
concessions for large orders was con-
spicuously absent.
Wash goods for spring, 1922, are
moving better, the buying in the local
market and on the road being consid-
erably broader. Real activity in this
section of the trade, however, is not
anticipated for another week.
The large corporations selling ging-
hams, percales and branded bleached
goods appear to have sold their future
production for some time to come.

Many Ambitious Ladies Have Voiced Intentions of Entering and
Trying For The Sudebaker-ROOm For More Live Wires
Enter Now

Have you subscribed to the Even
ing Telegram 1t is the question
that is being asked of every one in
this city and the surrounding terri
tory. Everywhere folks are being
asked if they have renewed their sub
scription to Lakeland's leading paper.
The campaign is getting under way
nicely. as there have been many young
ladies of this vicinity that have voiced
their intentions of entering the cam
paign and trying for the cars that are
to be given as the first prizes. AL
though none so far have really started
to work in earnest, the next few days
we expect to see dozens of them in
the field hard after votes. There is
no question about it but that the peo-
pie that have the pep and energy in
this city are the ones that have fully
realized the possibilities of the Sales
manship Club and intend to lose no
time in getting started after votes.
HOW CAN WE AFFORD IT?
Expressions of surprise at the tre-
mendous value of the prize list is still
being heard from all sides also the
easy method by which these prizes
may be won is attracting much atten-
tion from the more settled folks of
this vicinity. "I don't see how the
Telegram can afford it?" is the repeat
ed statement by many people. To
this question is always the same an
swer, I'VE don't expect to make a
barrel of money by the campaign; all
we want to do S to place the Tele-
gram into every home in the trade
section of Lakeland, and is doing that
We can give to our readers a larger
and better paper than they have been
in the habit of receiving, we strive
to make the Telegram the undoubted
leader in newspapers of this section
of the state, and in this method we
make our first step. AS for the giving
away of these prizes to the ones that
get the highest number of votes, we
decided to use this plan rather than
the old time-worn method of employ
ing solicitors on salary plan
"Share up is our motto and that we
are doing when we make the happy
winners presents Of these gorgeous
prizes.
Most any one would be glad to own

award. especially the studebaker or
