Silks

Despite fluctuations in the raw silk
market, which are believed to be more
the result Of manipulation in the chief
primary center, Japan, than to the
working of the law of supply and de-
mand, the domestic silk trade here is
more than holding its own. The uplift
in raw silk prices and more active
demand for raw silk have been followed
by greater show Of tirmness in fin-
ished goods prices. Retailers are still
buying finished silks for nearby con-
sumption and placing some fall orders,
although on a conservative basis. Gar
ment manufacturers have not yet made
known their full requirements in silks
for fall, although early indications
point to wide use of silk in fall gar
ments. The dry goods jobbers also
have been backward in placing fall
silk orders, according to manufacture
ers here.
Silk consumption in June reached
the highest point in seventeen months,
according to figures issued by the Silk
Association of America, and was be-
tween three and four times the con-
sumption in December, the low point of
the last year.

Conditions in the big basic indus
tried continued exceedingly dull. In
the textile and allied groups there
was some activity, but in the main the
volume Of bushes was smaller than
the week before. Retailers prepare
lions for fall are still delayed, and
many of the apparel lines that should
this time are dull compared to normal
years. Evidence is accommodating that.
despite threats Of shortages and in the
face of stitIening prices, retailers arc
not to be shifted from their policy of
buying as near to the immediate needs
as possible. Silk hosiery is scarce
and advancing in price, yet several
local department stores have put on
large hosiery sales, disposing of hun
dreds of thousands Of pairs of stock
ings at prices lower than any reached
since the price decline began. All
through trade, from retailers on up to
the manufacturer there is lack of
confidence sufficient to restore the buy
ing for future delivery that character
ICES normal times. In the opinion of
some keen students of industrial trends
we have entered upon period OF de-
clinng prices likely to continue for
several years, during which the policy
of anticipating the future in merchan-
disc desires probably will be reduced
below the level that we knew in prevail
days.
Retail prices, under the stimulus of
clearance sales, have fallen to new
low levels, with the result that re-
tail volume is keeping up remarkably
we'll. All reports indicate that while
the volume of retail business in dol
larsfand cents has shrunk some since
last year, the volume in units of mer-
chandise has increased, showing that
the general public is taking advan-
tage of the lower prices. However,
there also is evidence that while the
public is not holding off in filling it's
current needs, it Is not anticipating
future requirements as it did when
prices were on a rising scale. No
matter what retailers and wholesalers
may think of the future course of
prices, the public apparently is Of the
opinion that prices are still on the
downward trend.

leather trade. However, the volume Of
orders for sole leather which are said
to have been booked ahead by tanners,
was larger than the volume received
for several weeks. Firm prices were
maintained on nearly all grades of
leather. The hide market was en-
couraged to great extent by the
sudden demand which arose last week
for domestic packer hides. Many large
accumulations were reduced consider
ably.
Operations in many shoe factories,
which were closed over the holidays,
were resumed last week. Reports had
it that nearly all the Middle West
plants are operating at full capacity
With shoe retailers in the market for
shoes for stock purposes, it is ex-
pected that production throughout the
entire industry soon will be running
at normal.
Jewelry
The volume of orders received last
week by representatives of wholesalers
who are soliciting orders in the retail
field was exceedingly small in compari-
son with the preceding year. However,
the decline when compared with pre-
war volume, was much less, giving rise
TO the opinion that normally in the
trade will soon be reached
Although most retailers are placing
orders only when forced to replace de-
plcted stocks, there are retailers in
some sections of the country who are
stocking up in anticipation of good
fall business. Silverware statesmen are
expected to call on the retailers late
this month.
To suppress the belief iostered IN
some circles that jew elry prices will
be reduced further many manufacture
ers have guaranteed their present
prices to January. This action is ex-
pected to change the hesitant attitude
of buyers in placing orders.

Coitons

Activity in cotton goods was we'll
maintained last week and more re-
ports of increasing export business
came out of the trade. Trading in
unfinished goods was scarcely larger
than the week before, but prices were
more firm. Dry goods jobbers were
in the market in plentiful number and
many moro are expected this week
for the midsummer meeting of the
Dress Fabrics Buyers Association,
which takes place tomorrow.
Converters who ordinarily would be
showing samples for next springs
goods now are Withholding making
their openings. 1t is felt in the trade
that spring 1922 wash goods will not
be offered the trade much before
August Is.
Raw cotton advanced during the
week and gave 'irmer tone to the
goods market. The ending of the
British coal strike and the resumption
of operations in the British cotton
mills have nut a more cheerful COM
plexion on everything connected with
cotton in this country.

Apparel
Activity in the annar

Activity in the apparel markets was
confined largely to summer merchan-
disc, which has been in good demand
because of the hot weather. Retailers
have placed fairly large repeat orders
for summer dresses for women and
children and for lightweight suits for
men.
Fall selling at wholesale has begun
in small way, but has not reached
large proportions as yet. There are some
complaints from retailers about the
high prices being asked by manufacture
ers of women's outer garments, but
these are fewer than at the beginning
of the spring season or the fall season
last year. Manufacturers contend that
there can be no further reductions un
less labor accepts lower wages or in
creases its efficiency perceptibly. Move
ments to attain both these objects have
been undertaken through negotiations
with the unions in the trade, but the
outcome is still unsettled.

WoOiells

Raw wool and finished cloth showed
little change last week. If anything,
the cloth market was a. bit less active,
but this is to be expected in view Of
the fact that the fall selling season is
drawing to close, and that fabrics for
the spring of 1922 soon will be offered
the trade. Prices were unchanged. In
looking forward to the spring selling
season comment at present indicates
that neither manufacturers nor buyers
expect any great price changes, al
though it is understood that the compe-
ton for business will tend to force
prices to the lowest possible level. Ex-
tremely light weight fabrics will be Of
fered in greater variety for next spring,
due to the successful sale of garments
made from such cloths this summer.

Fslrs

Activity in the fur trade is still wait
ing on the decision of the retailers on
fall merchandise. There has been
comparatively little buying for the
fall season so far, and it begins to ap-
pear that fewer retailers will stage
the usual August fur sales.
Manufacturing furriers are not buy
ing many raw furs, although the cur
rent business in the raw fur market
is considered satisfactory by dealers.
The foreign fur markets are reported
to be improving and this has ten
dency to create more confidence here.
Rumors of Soviet furs being sold in
Germany are rife. The establishment
of German credits here is expected to
help the sale of American furs to Ger
man dealers considerably. This was a
trade of large proportions before the
war.
