Higher Prices for Raw Ma
terials and Pressure for
Reductions i'm Cloth Place
Mills Between Two Fires

As the tine for offering woolens
and worsteds for use in next falls
clothing approaches, mills and their
selling agents are confronted with
number of influences making COM
plicated price figuring necessary. On
the raw material side, high grade
wools are not only advancing but
growing scarce. 1t is known that some
mills have abandoned certain styles OF
cloth because of inability to arrange
for adequate wool or yarn supplies.
The shortage of high grade woods, it
is said, affects the worsted end of the
trade, more than the woolen end, as
the lower grades con be worked up
into acceptable woolens.
On the selling end ther is tremen-
dous pressure against the mills for
lower prices. The mems garment
trades have run into a secondary
slump, which has left both retailers
and manufacturers with greater sup
plies of made up clothing on hand than
can be moved with case at this time.
This is acting as a drawback on the
fall season for next year IN two
ways; first, by dampening enthusiasm,
and, second, by lowering financial
ability to enter into extensive future
contracts. Credit men in the woolen
trade are scanning their accounts
closely and it is believed that some
sharp revisions in credit limits will be
imposed on buyers when the fall lines
are opened.

Wooden and Worsted Trades
Face Big Problems Next Season
Business May SAGE
Billion on Taxes

A billion dollars may be saved to
American business men, according
to M. L. Seidman, tax expert,
through the section Of the new in
come tax law which provides in
effect that any concern that in
stalled equipment to produce
articles contributing to the prose-
cution Of the war will be allowed to
deduct from its income tax the
difference between the cost Of that
equipment and its value to-day.
"No statistics are available show
ing the extent Of capital invest
mcnts made to produce materials
Of value to the prosecution of the
war;" he said, 'but it is known
that these investments were ex-
tremcly large. Largely as a re-
suit Of these Investments, $780,
100000 was paid to the government
in income and excess profits taxes
during 1918.
"Thc phrase articles contribut-
ing to the prosecution of the war
with the German government can
be interpreted so as to include q
great many things not ordinarily
considered war materials. Even
chewing gum has been held to be a
war necessity. 1t is possible, there
fore, that large part Of the de-
probation in value Of business
properties that has taken place dur
ing the postwar readjustment can
be considered subject to this sec
tion. think that billion dollars
is 9 fair guess at the amount Of
this depreciation. Thus the $780,
100000 that the government expects
to collect this year in income and
profits taxes may easily be wiped
out and other sources Of revenue
encroached upon"

Last Week

The local raw silk market is strong
and advancing in sympathy with higher
quotations in the primary markets, ac-
cording to the weekly report by H. l..

report, shave gained about 80 cents a
pound since last week. Buyers are fol-
lowing the advance reluctantly and are
limiting their purchases to actual
reeds; at the same time cheap lots on
the market have disappeared and most
holders are refusing concessions. The
advance of the raw material has con-
siderably stimulated business in the
fabric market and conditions there
have greatly improved and promise
we'll for the coming spring.

American Wooden
Not to Cut Wages
In Coming Season
Wood Praises Employees for
Accepting Previous Re-
dnction and Attributes
Prosperity to the Action

LAWRENCE. Mass, Dec. 22.-Wil-
liam M. Wood, president Of the Amer
lean Wooien Company, to-day author
ICED the announcement to employees
that their wages for the coming sea-
son are not to be reduced"
In = letter to the company's maya
zine, in which the announcement ap-
peared, however, he took occasion to
call attention to what he termad an OBJ
stacle (Which threatens tho mainte-
nance of the present standard of wages
i, in the American Woolen Company"
/ This obstacle, he said, was "the com
petition of certain mills in other states
than Massachusetts where hours are
longer than those in the American
| Woolen Company, and where wages are
less.
"This must occur to you," he added,
AS an unfair competition, and one
thSt affects you directly"
In his letter Mr.. Wood called atten-
tion to the fact that the companv's
mills, which were practically shut down
year ago, were running ito full capac-
lty" at present, adding:
Your attitude in realizing the stu
alton and accepting the reduction in
wages had much 20 do with this happy
state of affairs
The letter said further:
I'VE are about to enter upon a new
seasons business. We are advised that
many of our competitors are badly in
need of work and we have every reason
to expect the sharpest kind of compe-
tition.
1--WE hear vague rumors of a reduc-
tlon in wages. Among some of our Gus
toners there seems to be delusion
that prices for goods must be lower,
notwithstanding that raw materials and
woll particularly are higher and grow
ing still higher in price. The present
tariff on wool practically amounts to
an embargo, and this has the tendency
| OF initiating the price Of wool in this
country.
".t is true that just now things do
not look altogether bright. Still we do
not share the pessimism that seems to
/ abound in textile circles.
"Our directors believe we can main
tain the present wages for the coming
season, and q further reduction is
furthest from our thoughts.
After the turn of the year we ex-
pect prospects to brighten, and we
shall make every endeavor to get our
share of the business and be able to
have continuous employment. You can
do very much in the way of helping by
doing your utmost to increase efficiency
in the mills by the careful prevention
| of unnecessary waste and in many
other ways that will occur to you, and
by SO doing cooperate with the man
agement to help in the reduction of
cost, SO that we may meet the expected
competition and secure work for our
selves.
"If you will do this you will aid ma
terially in maintaing good wages and
steady work. By helping us to meet
the outside competition you will be
helping yourselves. l congratulate you
upon your splendid efforts this last
wear"

CHICAGO, Dec. 22.-Heavy profit

by reports OF European demand for future
deliveries at Winnipeg and by talk of
harvest delays In Argentina. Word was
at hand, too, that the Australian export
able surplus would show a material reduc-
ton from estimates which have been cur
rent of late.
Bulls put stress also on what they de-
scribed as the precarioYs outlook for the
domestic winter crop dnd on hoped for
stimulating effecc OF prospective Russian
relief demand for corn.
Highest prices Of tho day were reached
after announcement that the relief bill
had been put up to President Harding
Then profit-taking broadened out, how
ever and the market rapidly declined
Corn and oats advanced as a result of
Russian relief plans, but, like wheat, re-
acted under pressure of sales to realize
profits.
Provisions averaged higher with hogs.
