Raw Silk i'm Demand
Prices Still Show Much Irreeu-
larity

Good demand for spot silk is tending
to make the local raw fiber market ac-
tive, according to the weekly report by
H. L Gwalter & Co.. but poor assort-
ments in the hands of importers rem
ders business difficult. Coarse sizes are
still in. strongest demand.
"Prices continue to show consider
able irregularity," says the report, "aad
are wide apart between one sort and
another, but, on the whole, the tend
ency of the market is firmer, and Can
ton silks in particular show an appre-
ciable gain for the week.
"Cable advices from Europe report
the Milan market stronger, with a con-
tinued good demand for American ac-
count and noticeable increase of in

ported in the higher grades both in

Assert Present Production Is
S r. G. of Normal; Deter
mined to Operate Only
Against Actual Orders

Knitted underwear manufacturers
xho have not yet named prices for
garments for the coming fall season
az expected to fall in line with those
Who already have issued price lists in
the near future.
At meeting of the manufacturers
Of heavyweight knitted underwear SELL
lug to the jobbing trade, held yester-
cav at the Hotel Biltmore, much dis
eussion on the price situation occurred
in m effort to arrive ut some conclu-
siou tending toward stabilization OF the
market, which at present is under
many handicaps.
An official statement issued at the
close Of the meeting said:
ut was found there existed in the
prices quoted wide variation due to
manufacturing conditions in different
lacalities, character of the merchan-
disc, etc, and after free and open
discussion it was developed that the
figures named already represented cost
Of replacement or less. and under these
conditions the manufacturers frankly
stated that unless their product could
Be sold on the basis of these quota
ticns plants could not be started. as
lower prices would only mean loss
greater than that now incurred by
keeping the mills closed down"
At the close of the meeting individ-
nal manufacturers asserted that. in
their opinion, the delayed buying of
winter underwear ultimately will re-
sult in conditions which at present OBJ
tain in the spring underwear field-a
shortage of sufficient merchandise to
satisfy the immediate requirements of
retailers. Present production is esti-
mated at not more than 5 per cent Of
normal and many mills are closed down
completely.
Average prices hover around $10.50
for the sixteen-ponnd garment for the
fall season. 1t is stated that at the
peak Of last year this price reached 500.
The manufacturers do not anticipate
much ordering for the fall season for
The next thirty or sixty days, but are
determined not to make up stock ex-
eept on firm orders 1t is limited that
the financial difficulties of most mills
preclude operations for stock even if
manufacturers were disposed to adopt
ouch policy.

Order Against L. |.
And Staten Island
Fare Raise Denied
Federal Statutory Court Rem
ders Decision on the New
York City Complaint If
Ruling Made by /. C. C.

The application brought by the City
Of New York before Federal statutory
court in Brooklyn to restrain the Long
Island Railroad and the Staten Island
Rapid Transit Railway Company from
collecting the 90 per cent increase in
passenger rates allowed several months
ago sby the Interstate Commerce Com
mission was denied yesterday by q
unanimous decision.
The statutory court comprised Judge
Manton Of the United tates Circuit
Court of Appeals and Federal District
Judges Garvin and Chatfeld. It was
the FIRST court of its kind held in
Brooklyn in five years. The decision
was merely notation, saying that the
application was denied, and there was
no accompanying opinion. The increase
allowed by the Interstate Commerce
Commission included single-trip pas
senger rates and some classes Of
freight rates. 1t did not affect COM
mutation tickets, fifty-trip tickets or
school tickets.
In bringing it's action against the In
terstate Commerce Commission the
city. contended that the matter was
intrastate and not Interstate, as both
roads operated solely In New York
State.
Immediately after the increase was
granted temporary injunction was
obtained restraining the roads from
putting the increase into effect. The
injunction was continued by Justice
Benedict after hearing arguments. The
case was carried to the Appellate Di-
vision, which reversed Justice Bene-
dict, holding that the Interstate Com
merce Commission was a Federal body
and that the state courts had no juris-
diction over it's actions. The next step
of the city was to bring the action be-
fore the statutory court composed Of
the three judges.

indications Of Better
Shoe Business Seer,

In the ten days ending Saturday,
March ~, orders for over s7oo.o 900
worth Of shoes were placed with
representatives Of shoe manufac-
turers who have show and sales
rooms on the shoe floors OF the
Bush Terminal Sales Building.
"This is an indication that busi-
ness is better with the retailers"
said Arthur Benedict, manager of
the shoe floors in the building.
"Some Of the orders were the first
run of fall orders, indicating that
spring buying has been good and
that buyers are duplicating. The
buying seems to bo evenly dis
tributed throughout the country
and shoe buyers arc coming from
all parts Of the East, Middle West
and South"

Dry Goods Trade spotty
Observer Sees Healthy Recov-
cry Without Boom

Spotty conditions in the wholesale
dry goods trade are reported by Secre-
tary Fernley, of the National Whole
sale Dry Goods Association. Some
lines of goods, such as notions, spring
underwear, spring cotton goods,
pleached goods, percales, ginghams,
voiles and wash goods, are moving free,
ly. Some other lines are selling slowly
"The conviction expressed by the
wholesalers at the January convention
OF this association" says Mr.. Fernlev.
ITO the effect that there would be a
healthy recovery Of business without
any boom features, has proved to have
been correct view. The chief disap-
polntment at present appears to be
felt by those who looked for another
period Of rising prices and reinstate-
ment Of the sellers market.
