SEES GLOVE TARIFF
HELP PROFITEERS
Head of Big Concern Here Says
U. s. Manufacturers of Cheap
Grades Would Benefit.

Willard NJ. Smith. general manager
of p. centemeri & Co. glove makers
and importers, scored yesterday the
Fordney tariff bin as unjust TO Amer
lean glove importers. He declared that
the bill. should it become law, would
not add to the Governments revenue
or protect American industry so far as
the glovers would be concerned because
1t would smother the kid glove business
in the United States. He pointed out
that the passage of the bill would en-
able American manufacturers of poorer
grades Of gloves to continue TO charge
prices which they have obta ned since
the war began through the inability
OF the public to obtain better gloves at
prices which would be charged for in
ferior ones. Another point which he
made was that everything in the nature
OF an ad vaiorem duty on such n prod
uct as kid gloves would make it almost
impossible to do business under the
present unsettled conditions of foreign
exchange.
Putting a tariff penalty on kid
gloves will not tend TO aid the American
workman in any way" said Mr.. Smith
because there Is practically no Ameri-
can glovemaking industry existing that
produces fine kid and lamb gloves COM
parable to the kinds that we manufac-
ture and import from France We
therefore protest against the adoption
OF paragraph 1892 of the proposed per-
mament tariff measure known as the
Fordney BILL that has been up for con-
slderation in the House OF Representa-
tives, and we feel justified in contending
that the livelihood OF our staff of over
100 employees in the New York and
Philadelphia stores is entitled to the
same consideration that the American
workmen present.
If 1t becomes necessary for the United
States Government to devise a means for
the increasing Of revenues, we are cer-
tainly willing to grant most thorough
support to a measure that would be with
in reason and we suggest as means of
increasing revenues through the collec-
tion Of customs duties on imported kid
gloves, the tariff measure now existing
be advanced so per cent. This will,
therefore, establish a specific duty basis
and place us in position where we
can follow the time honored custom of
booking advanced orders on firm price
with a reasonable guaranty of delivery
to the customer"

light conditions and its film is of half

Fine Chemicals Firmer.

An advance of 40 per cent in two
weeks in hydroquinone is noted by the
Drug aud Chemical Market in a report
issued to-day. Aspirin also has ad-
vanced and cod liver oil is firnler. A
cut in cream of tartar is noted. but its
prices are still higher than buyers wish
10 pay. Manufacturers of chemicals
have cut quinine 10 cents an ounce.
owing to jobbing competition, which
brought foreign prices down. Dutch
manufacturers have been holding out
for excessively high prices and thereby
have given the Japanese inducements
to enter the field and make large
profits. The heavy chemical market is
reported as duh and crude drugs are
practically at a standstil. but prices
are firm. due to reduced stocks. Phenol
is reported as firm on an increasing
export demand, and foreign exchange
has forced up palm oils. A general
feeling of optimism is apparent and
prices generally are holding steady and
Shading is negligible.

Goods were offered more freely. but few

Heavy Influx of Raw Furs.

Although great inroads have been
made into the new seasons catch of raw
furs present indications point to an un-
usually large number of skins being on
hand at the beginning of 1922. The
Skunk catch is reported as being par
ticularly heavy and large consignments
of it have been made, 1t Is said. with the
result that American fur men believe
that the offerings of the auction houses
within the next month or two will be un-
usually large. Shipments of merchan-
disc TO sales houses have been heavy and
many representatives of large houses
apparently are not over anxious to give
large advances

Cables received from Japan yesterday

firm prices. Improvement in buying Is
noticeable in the local market. advanced

prices have been advanced in conformity
with the raw silk market they are still
lower than replacement quotations.
January, February and March are ex-
pected to be the busiest months in sew

because Of the present attitude of buy
ers. Little hope for a break in price of
the raw silk produce before next sum-

The New York herald., 1921-12-22
Rihhon Prices UP with Raw SILK:

4 decided increase in the prices OF
ribbons is being. felt in the millinery
trade. due TO advancing raw silk prices.
Demand for ribbons. however. is gain
ing in strength and a very good season
during the early months of the year
is anticipated: Some curtailment of
buying Ia looked to develop IL raw silk
prices continue at their present high
level. Jobbers find big buyers coming
into the market. which indicates that
spring demands will be of good pro-
portions. Futures are receiving most
attention. but spot business Is weaker.
Manufacturers. according to dealers.
are curtailing on production, due to un-
certainty respecting Spring prices.

Hand Made Trimmings for Spring,

A continuation of the present hand
made trimmings for ladies' hats Is ex-
pected for the spring millinery trade,
according to a representative dealer who
just returned from a Western trip.
Braids made of hair. visco and cello
phane material. in narrow widths. are the
most popular trimming for spring wear.
Broad braids are not expected to play
an important role for more expensive
hats. The predominating colors. as evil
denced by the sales, appears to be for all
shades of brown. particularly of henna.
pheasant and mulberry. Buying at the
moment Is confined to immediate re-
ouirements among the millinery trade.
but with the close Of the holiday period
more active buying period is expected
to develop.

MT. Boyle stated that the final clause in the act did not prevent those so desir- ling from doing assessmtmt work for both 1920 and 1921 at the same time. that is. by doing double the amount of work for single year between now and July I. claim holders can cover as- sessment requirunents for both 1920 and 1921 The measure introduced bv Senator Reed Shoot of Utah. changing the period to correspond to fiscal years instead of calendar years. failed to pass.
