Slieetings Withdrawn From
Sale by Lonce Agents;
Sentiment Favors Contin-
uancc of Present Prices

Continued Improvement in tho do
mand for certain classes Of cotton
goods was reported yesterday by lead
ing commission merchants, The bust
ness in wide sheetings, sheets and pill
low cases has been beyond the antici-
patton of selling agents, some of whom
have booked the production of their
mills we'll into September and October
One selling agent has withdrawn sew
eral numbers from sale, to give the
mills an opportunity to catch up in
deliveries.
Percales, Influenced by the good
business in spring cinghams, have been
carried so far forward in buying Tint
it is not likely that spring deliveries
will be offered much before the mid
die of September.
The clamor Of buyers for lower
prices is dwindling. 1t is pointed out
by large wholesalers and retailers that
the spread between prices quoted in
the open market for many lines of un-
finished goods and these same goods
made up into percales, prints, etc, is
larger than usual. The mill interests
explain this by higher cost Of produc-
Iioii III tHe way VI WaGeS, CranSpOrta-
ton costs, coal and other charges.
Sentiment in the primary goods mar
kets is for maintenance of present
prices, with possibly slight increases
in some classes of goods which we're
priced below actual production cost to
work off surplus stocks or to start the
mills running after the closedowns Of
last year.
On the other hand fancy white goods
and wash goods in general for next
spring are in small demand and the
immediate delivery business for the
present season has about spent itself
Continued activity in beach CLOTH
ramies, linenes, which sprang up over
night when the vogue for the jumper
dress became widespread, is reported,
and some wholesalers have placed mod
crate orders for goods of this char
acter for next springs selling.
The grayHor unfinished goods market
was moderately active yesterday with
prices firm. A considerable turnover
in 6S-72 print cloths and four and
five yard sheetings was reported by
several brokers. Some sheetings were
quoted at an eighth Of a cent advance
over Mondays prices.

Demand for Staple
feathers Increases
Shoe Manufacturers Swing to
Black and Standard
Shades for Fall

Full reflection Of the continued de-
mand for women's high grade shoes is
found in the glazed kid, calf and light
leather phase of the upper leather
trade, according to leading tanners.
Although heretofore shoe manufac-
turers have been buying largely fancy
shades, such as white, dark brown and
gray, they are now devlating from these
colors and registering a demand for
black and other staples,
AS the result of this increased de-
mand, the stocks of tanners, which are
mostly of staple leather, have been con-
siderably diminished. A large volume
of patent leather, the first time in
three years, is being used in fall shoes
No great improvement in the leather
market can be expected until revival
of active buying by European and
South American countries sets in, ac-
cording to leather merchants.
Although purchases by English and
French buyers compose most of the
foreign business done, more inquiries
are being received from China and
Japan, presumably for Russian account
In commenting on the range of prices
Frank Hecht, of Frank Hecht & Co.,
tanners of shoe feathers, expressed the
opinion that the low had been
turned about ninety days ago. Mr.
Hecht believes that present prices will
be fully maintained.

Spotty demand for goods and

Wholesale dry goods dealers. Under
the heading of Some of the Whole
salers' Aims" the National Whole
sale Dry Goods Association, in the
latest market letter says:
ITO resume selling general as
sortment of merchandise, instead of
doing land office business in q few
lines.
ITO get the entire merchandise
inventory on basis of a four or
five times turnover instead of the
present low rate. Some Goods
enjoyed remarkable turn-ove but
our members declare that the pres

ventory, as a whole, is not salts

ITO resume the distribution Of

Commercial Credit

Old established business firms are
finding little difficulty in getting new
bank loans or in financing their cur
rent operations through commercial
paper. On the other hand, the banks
have not lifted their restrictions on
some of the newer firms, which were
largely the outgrowth of the war and
postwar boom.
Most of the commercial paper now
coming into the market bears high
grade names and discounts at 6 per
cent. Little of the less known paper
is being Issued. The rates on this
class of paper range from GA to "a
per cent.

which have largely suspended pay
Snents since the new export tax DEGREES
became effective on July /, had in
fortped the Minister of Interior that
Ney would resume operations.
[ THE taxes" said Mr.. Stevens, "in
hany cases are confiscatory and render
ne impossible for the companies oper-
sting in Mexico to export the oil except
p loss. 1t is unlikely that any COM

pitlons, except such as it is absolutely
Sbiiged to ship in order to meet prior

Foreign Watch Trade Dull

One of the dullest periods in the
history of the trade is being expert
enced by watch importers. Although
fair demand for watches of foreign
make exists, the reflection of the bust
ness done in the retail field is hardly
perceptible in importing circles. Large
quantities Of watches are said to be
on the shelves of many retailers, and
orders received by importers cover
