Readjustment of Orders Re.
ing Made With Ease; Re-
ports of Overbuying ON
Speculation Are Denied

Commission agents in the wooden and
worsted trades are making much Of the
fact that cancellations In the readjust-
ment of fall orders are much les. tb;s
year than those that are made nov
mally, after buyers have had an onnor-
tunlty to see all lines.
According to some of the LEADING
selling agents, the amount Of fall hus;.
ross booked to date is larger than
many anticipated, and it has been
necessary in many cases to cut down on
the quantities clothing manufacturers
nave ordered. The rumors, current in
INC market this week, that some of
tho clothing producers had overbought
on speculation, thus placing the market
IN 'shaky position, ATE without foun-
dstion, according to the selling agents,
who assert that the business booked is
OF solid nature, care having been
taken to prevent overbuying in cases
where buyers were disposed to take
more goods than they can use in their
factories.
A fair amount Of fall production is
being held open to buyers who have
not yet visited the market. Road sales
men are starting out now to call on
such customers, and early reports in
dicate that fair business is being
G,pc.
The curtailed production for the last
eight months, it is felt, has given the
primary markets AN opportunity to
liouidate surplus holdings, so that
goods being made now and during the
next few months will go more directly
into consumption than has been the
case for several years back

--(Mrs.) A. Il. w.
Answer-Net earnings of Swift e.
Co. were $5,170.382 in 1920, as against
$13,870,181 in 1919. The packing in
dustry is by nature somewhat specu
lative, and under present conditions is
not prosperous. Our criticism of your
whole list is that you hold much too
large n proportion of speculative Sc
curities. 1t is not only true that finan-
cial doctors disagree, but also true
that if any one of them were right all
the time his shingle would be truly
golden one. We do not undertake to
prognosticate as to stock prices. We
think Atchison, Topeka e. Santa Fe
common, Canadian Pacific common,
American Car and Foundry, Kansas
City Southern preferred and Union
Pacific common attractive specula-
tions. We would rather switch from
Bethlehem Steel per cent preferred
to United States Steel preferred than
into Crucible preferred. Your Stand
ard Oil of New Jersey preferred and
Standard Oil of California per cent

Motor Truck first preferred is not
suitable for woman, we think. unless
she is willing to spend time and
thought in following earnings and gen.

Lays High Coal Prices on Miners ,

T. H. Watkins, president of the Penn
sylvania Coal and Coke Company, ad-
dressing the Natural Resources Pro-
ducton group, threw the whole respon-
sibility for prevailing high prices of
coal on the workers, and contended that
only modification of existing wage
contracts could remedy the situation.
Railroad wages and the methods of
adjustment since the passage Of the
Adamson act were targets of attack
this afternoon in the meeting OF the
railroad group.
RAILROAD wages" declared F. A. Mol
tier, of the Institute of Consulting En-
gineers of New York. "have caused
great dissatisfaction among labor in
other industries. Another point is
that in each case which the railroad
men have been granted an increase it
has been made retroactive. | don't re-
call any time when increases in freight
rates we're made retroactive.
"The employees must learn that they
are not in privileged class. If pos
sible, the railroads should establish
the open shop. In any event, we should
have a starute requiring all labor
unions to be incorporated, and they
should be compelled to make public
accounts of their anances-their in
come and their expenditures"
Besides the charge o. labor on IN
dustry, delegates arc much concerned
with the burden that the government
itself places on business through taxa
ton. Tomorrow taxes and the tariff
will be stressed in the parleys.

Tow Balloon Makers
Enioying Best Year

The toy balloon phase of the rubber
trade is enjoying the best year IN its
history. despite surrounding Oppressive
conditions, according to. manufact-
urers. Business thus far this year,
they agreed, has increased considera-
bly, over the preceding period and the
corresponding period of last year, Al,
though the lighter balloon, inflated
wi>a air, is in greater demand, manu-
ia eturers said that the demand since
spring for the stronger balloon, which
also can be inflated with hydrogen, has
been even greater. Prices have been
reduced about 90 per cent.
William Caldwell, of the Rex Rubber
& Novelty Company. the LARGEST manu-
fasturers Of balloons, faid that although
the employees Of the company have been
working on two shifts of eig ht hours
each there are 60 to 80 days untitled
orders for popular sizes on hand. Mr..
Caldwell was of the opinion that the
nresent abnormal demand for balloons
will continue for many months.

London Fur Prices Steady

same as those ruling at the winter sale,
according to cattle advices received by
Alfred Fraser, American agent for the
fur commission house. Skunk is one of
the American produced furs that is
widely sold in the London auctions,
and because Of the large holdover of
skunk from the previous sale American
shippers were somewhat skeptical of
the price course this articls would take

those of last year. The carry over in
the hands of jobbers and retailers is

for the coming fall season, it is said,
will be about half that of last year, be-

Manufacturers Association of Cata-

public had created a crisis in the cot

The manifesto asserted that reduc-
tion in the working days in the fac
tories to two to three weekly was caus-
ing an enormous increase IN the cost
of production, while the existing Gus
toms duties did not prevent the
"dumping" of large quantities of for
eign merchandise. The crisis the
manifesto declared was certain to be-
come more acute during the next three
