Confidence in Dry Goods.

With each succeeding week. con-
fdence in the future of dry goods
markets increases. The wage re-
ductions in the steel industry and
elsewhere are regarded as fore
shadowing steadier employment
later on, and the well-defined trend
toward relaxation of monetary
stringency is a hopeful augury. Re-
specting immediate business. it is
reported that jobbing distribution
is of greater volume. yardage con-
sidered, than that of a year ago.
and the rate OF cotton goods mill
curtatlment has slackened. While
buying is still mainly in small lots,
there is belief that forward require
ments will before long be antici-
pated more freely. and the resist
ance of various goods to further
price revisions is accepted as an in
dication that manufacturers have
gone about to their limit on con-
cessions. Comparisons of current
quotations with those of a month
ago disclose additional yielding, but
the present situation clearly re-
fleets a greater measure OF sta
bility.

STEEL WORKERS NEW WAGES .
DEPARTURE FROM PRECEDENT
The Corporations Reduction Comes Several
Months After Cuts by Independents.
EDWARD c. GRAHAM,
Especial Correspondence Of The washingtor
Herald and the Evening Post)

Special Correspondence Of The washington
Herald and the Evening Post.)
PITTSBURGH. May S.-The Steel
Corporations wage reduction an
nounced after the regular meeting
of the finance committee last Tues
day. falls from three to five months
after the reductions by the inde-
pendent steel producers. as it be-
comes effective Monday. May 16.
The independents began reducing
wages about December l, while the
last of the reductions. those by the
prominent independents in the Ma
hcning and ShenanSo Valleys and
the Jones and Laughlin Steel Com
pany at Pittsburgh, fell about the
middle of February. A few inde-
pendents made a small reduction in
December and followed this by an
other reduction later. The total re-
duction is not entirely uniform
among the independents. but the
most common reduction, from the
scale of February l. 1920, is the
same as that now made by the Steel
Corporation. about 20 per cent, re-
ducing common labor from As cents
to 81 cents an hour.
Basic Eisht-Hour Day.
The basic eight-hour day. estab-
lished October l, 1918, is retained.
whereby there is time and half al
lowed for hours of service in excess
Of eight. Thus the ten-hour men
are paid for eleven hours time and
the twelve-hour men for fourteen
hours time. A reduction from 46
The Washington herald., 1921-05-09

cents to 81 cents an hour reduces
the rate for day from sass to sass
for cight-hour men, from S5.06 to
S4O7 for ten-hour men, and from
S6.A to S5.lS for twelve-hour men.
At the common rate of ls cents an
hour ruling from an advance of
February l. 1918. to the advance of
February /, 1916. the rates were
respectively sl.52. $3.50 and s22s.
Thus the new rates. in effect with
independents for several months
and soon to be in effect with the
Steel Corporation, are respectively
95 per cent above the pre-war rate.
Wages and steel Prices.
AS to the relation between wages
and steel prices, it is important to
note that there were very low steel
prices in 1898 and almost as low
prices at the end of 1914. while
there was steady advance in
wages meanwhile. except for one
general reduction at the beginning
of 1904 and reductions on the part
of some producers in 1908 or the
fore part of 1909, these reductions
being quite temporary. The result
of this is that in 1914 steel prices
were lower than the average in the
ten-year period 1904 to 1918 inclu-
i've, so often taken for purposes OF
comparison. while the wage rates
were considerably higher than the
average that obtained during the
period.
The advances in the common la
Dor rate from 1898 to 1918 was ap-
proximately from 13 cents to 10
cents an hour. Steel prices were
about 20 per cent lower in December
1914. than they averaged in the ten
years through 1918. but wages
were about 20 per cent higher than
in the ten-year period. Thus. the
present relation between steel
prices and wages makes a very diff
ferent comparison, according to
whether 1914 is taken as the basis
or the average of the ten years be-
fore the war.

Better Sugar Outlook.

Owing to Q growing belief that
prices have about reached their min
imum. a slightly improved demand
for refined sugar was In evidence
this week. AS retailers are report
ed to have only moderate stocks
on hand, the outlook Is now re-
garded as pointing to more or less
recovery in prices. Quotations. how
ever, were not materially changed.
which condition mainly resulted
from the seeking of business by
the refiners, who are only lightly
supplied with orders. The under
tone of the market. on the other
hand, was distinctly firmer, a situa-
tion that was reflected in futures
by a general upward tendency. .

PROVIDENCE, r. l., May S.
Despite the efforts of many wooden
and worstcd mills to arrange their
business on the present season so
as to be able to make a normal
spring opening, it now looks as
though this would not be possible.
The lightweight opening usually
came in July. but it was delayed
last year until December The fall
opening was two months late and.
with the orders that have oeveloued.
the market now feels that the han
dicap of those sixty days has been
too great to be overcome and allow
a normal spring announcement. AS
a result of the trend, trade has been
taking in both the women's and the
mems wear branches. a neaVy 1u-
pliCate business is expected from
those buyers who did not plunge
but operated carefully for tho new
season. 1t is thought a large part
of this business may go to jobbcr5,
as they have bought carefully COr-
pared with cutters-up. The mills,
however. are beginning to Look fCr
late manufacturing.
Bleached cottons, especially the
higher-count cloths, are marking
time at present. and not a great
deal of activity is expected in them
before next week. BY that time il
is expected by buyers that a new
price will have been made on one
of the best-known lines. AS the
pricing of this line very often sets
thG pace for the rest OF the mu
ket. buyers are loatA to make i'm
portant commitments before this Is
done.
The general belief is that the new
price will be lower than that last
put on the goods in question. At
least, one of the big general job
bing houses has gambled on tbi'
being so by offering the goods to its
customers at a price below that
placed on the merchandise by the
mill.
silks and Cottons Active.
There has been a noticeable ac-
tivity in the demand for business.
both in silk and cotton. Buyers
who have been in the market want
ed immediate deliveries, another in
dication that wholesalers and re-
tailers have light stocks and few
leftovers.
The textile manufacturers are
finding it hard to push by the days
Of uncertainty. They are adding
more machines every week. and
slowly increasing the number of
operatives. The smaller concerns
are having better conditions than
the big companies. They are finding
It easier to meet the almost con-
stantly changing conditions which
have given the big manufacturers
more trouble. Many of the smaller
mills are unable to round out a full
week and have only a small per-
centage of the workers at the ma
chimes. However this manufactu-
rers are optimistic and express
belief that the situation is clearing.
and that with patience and sound
business policies the storm will be
Trathered and soon a thing Of The
