has ordered reduction Of railroad
wages amounting to about IL per cent,
effective July !. Great pressure is be-
ing brought to secure reduction of
freight rates on basic comm oditIes,
such as ore, coal and farm products,
and there are some indications that
this may take place. The press reports
that the President has gone to the In
terstate Commerce Commission to inn
press upon 1t the Importance Of q re-
duction of freight rates on this class of
materials. This Is an unusual proce-
dure on the part of the President of
the United States, and shows his keen
analysis of the situation and his lively
interest in the welfare of the people.
Statistics show that the cost Of liv-
ing, outside Of rents, is being materi-
ally reduced. The retailers are at last
coming to realize that they must do
business on a smaller margin of profit.
AS soon as labor in the building indus
try and freight rates on building ma
terials are lowered so that building can
go on rents will also come down.
"These are hopeful signs, showing
that necessary readjustmen nts are going
forward, both in the wages of labor and
in the selling prices of things produced
by labor.
Urges Freight Cut
''If reduction of freight rates can
be brought about, | look for q decided
improvement in business, depending on
the extent to which they are lowered.
Lower freight rates will enable steel
producers to furnish the railroads,
which are large consumers of steel,
such products as they use at lower
prices. A reduction in freight rates
would also reduce the cost of building
material, such as lumber, bridge, etc.,
and thus would stimulate all kinds of
construction work, which would, in
turn, furnish increased employment for
labor of all kinds. Lower freight rates
will reduce the cost of living, as the
present high rates affect practically
everything that enters into it. They
would also help the farmer to realize
a larger net return on his products
and thus bring into the market another
very important group of consumers,
who are at present buying little or
nothing, because they find that they
cannot supply their needs at the same
relative prices they received for their
grain, cattle, hogs and other PRODUCES.
Il know that our employees are anx-
lous to have more work, and we are
just as anxious to give them work and
thereby keep our mills in operation so
as to help take care of our overhead
expense, such as necessary salaried en-
ployees, taxes, insurance, etc. We are
also just as anxious as they are about
the future"

Despite the known large stocks Of
raw wool, sales have shown increased
interest on the part of buyers during
the week. Whether this business has
represented market tests or whether it
means that manufacturers have worked
off their surpluses in the recent squirt
of production is not just clear, but at
any rate the situation in this branch
of textiles seems to be better than most
others. All indications point to open
ing of spring lines earlier than in
1920--the American Woolen Company
delayed it's opening until the second
week in September last year-and the
gradual approach to normal conditions
is egarded as favorable sign fer all
industries.

New-York tribune., 1921-06-27

Except LOT seasonal demand at retail
and small recorders from jobbers who
buy sparingly but often, therefore, lit
tie in the way of moving stocks is
looked for until the opening of fall
lines. The summer recession in activity,
to which the country has been a
stranger for several years, is beginning
to be felt in its full effects. The ex-
tent Of this slowing down is problemat-
ical. for production with few excep-
tions has been ranging from 25 to 70
per cent of what is termed capacity
for many months. Textile lines are
fairly wel{ in hand, however, and pre-
liminary preparations are going on in
silks and woolens for showing new lines.
Cotton goods, however, are expected to
continue quiet for several weeks, with
curtailed production the rule in the New
England manufacturing centers.
Reports that the American Woolen
Company would open spring, 1922, lines
early IN July on normal schedules be-
cause of the rapid recovery from the
recent slump seem to be overoptimis-
tic. 1t is true that the leader of this
branch of the textile trade is operating
above 80 per cent of capacity and mills
are booked for several months ahead.
But the fact that the company is be-
hind on orders in many fabrics, espe-
cially in the women's wear depart
ment, will probably prevent opening
new lines before the middle of August,
thus giving the mills chance to catch
up on 1nflled orders and prevent run
ming further behind schedule in the
new season.
Another factor against the proposed
early opening is the contemplated trip
abroad of William M. Wood, president
of the company, within a week or So.
1t is hardly probable that new lines
will be shown before his return.

Leather

After several weeks Of improving
conditions, which it was hoped would
continue, there has been return to
the former dullness in hide and leather
markets. Aside from squirt of ac-
tivity in calfskins late last week, busi-
ness has been disappointing and the
price undertone is distinctly easier.
The summer period tends to accentuate
the existing quietness, but seasonal in
fuences do not wholly explain the
present unsatisfactory situation.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-27

age reductions in yarn quotations. The
tone in gray goods and print cloths con-
tinues dull, sales Mt Fall River during
the week being estimated at less than
$4,000 pieces. Curtailed operations in
New England are expected until in
creased demand develops. Jobbers re-
port that there is only small inquiry for
64x60 print cloths at 63-S cents, the
prevailing low level.
Silks
Lack Of stabilization in raw silk
prices is again checking activity in the
market not only for the raw product but
for finished fabrics. The recent extern
sive buying has served to supply manu-
facturers with current needs as we'll as
to advance prices, and it is apparent
that buyers will stay out of the market
until there is recession. The easier
trend is already noticeable, but declines
have not been marked. Withdrawal Of
the Japanese syndicate from the mar
ket for raw silk is regarded as an
other factor favoring lower quotations,
and the impression is given by the
trade that considerably lower prices
will prevail before the end of the year.
seasonal demand for light materials
continues good as the result of the
warm weather.

One Hundred Miles of Most Fascinat-

Between San Reno and Voltri lies
one of the most beautiful and fasci-
mating 100 miles of coast road it is
possible to find. 1t is amazing how
frontier lines affect scenery. 1t is
not that, having passed the official
limits of one country and entered
upon another. the people, their
architecture and their customs
change; the very earth. sea and sky
seem sensibly TO alter. II is so in
the case of France and Spain.
Ventimiglia is neutral town,
smacking strongly of both France
and Italy, and, although owing
allegiance 10 the latter. OF so mixed
parentage as to have practically no
characteristics. But drive a few
miles farther on into Italy and you
leave behind you everything that sug-
gests France. particularly everything
that suggests the French Riviera.
The French and Italian Rivieras
have each their devoted adherents.
The one is extremely beautiful.
abundantly rich and terribly tidy
The other has a wistful loveliness, a
