Pearl Button Trade improved

Signs That the pearl button trade is
slowly but surely emerging from the
slough of depression which the indus
try had found itself in since late last
year have been shown, according to
reports of manufacturers Many Of
the factories which have been idle for
several months are said to have re-
opened and are working on conserva-
tive production basis. An order calling
for 100000 pearl buttons for an auto
mobile company has been received by a
Southern manufacturer, whose plant
had been closed since January, it is
said. The improvement in the apparel
industry in the last month, the trend
OF which is reflected to a considerable
extent in the pearl button trade, has
instilled unbounded optimism into
pearl button men.

Open Market Quotations Are
Reached OH Many Offer
ings; Lack of Speculative
Bidding Strong Feature

More strength than most Of those
in the trade believed existed was shown
yesterday at the opening of the spring
sale of the New York Fur Auction
Sales Corporation at Masonic Temple.
Although fewer bidders were active
than in previous sales, large, because
Of the financial reimbursement hat has
weakened the working capital of many
dealers, good prices were realized from
the start.
Dealers asserted that yesterdays
prices were at the level of the open
market in most cases, and in some in
stances, notably fisher, were in advance
OF prices that have been current for
some time. Throughout yesterday s
sale there was an absence of specula-
tive bidding that characterized the auc-
lions up to a year ago.
Also there was no running up of
prices to abnormal he ights for the dis
tinction of having paid record price
for some particular kind Of skin.
The collection being offered in the
sale is said by dealers to be better
than usual and for the most part con-
sists of fresh skins.
The price offered on wolverine yes
tcrday advanced 25 per cent over the
January winter sale price. An increase
of Is per cent was shown in the price
bid on fisher when compared with the
price bid on that kind in January
Russian sable also showed gain of
10 per cent. Other increases were
On lynx, Is per cent; marten, 20 per
cent; baum martcn, 35 per cent; stone
marten, Is per cent, and Alaska seal
dressed and dyed, 10 per cent The
few declines when compared to the
January prices were: Northern wild
cat, 25 per cent; Southern wildcat, SO
per cent; Northern otter, 71& per cent
and Southern otter, 10 per cent.
A price Of S1GO was brought on Lot
1854 of Russian sable, and on 1865
the price bid was $l55. The closing
hour had arrived yesterday before the
offerings Of muskrat, black muskrat
and Southern muskrat could be put on
the block, and as a result they will be
offered at the opening session this
morning.

Trade Figures Inflated
Hoover Recommends Change
in Statistical Work

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Customs
service figures on export and import
trade for December have been found
greatly inflated by a Department Of
Commerce comr' ittce, Secretary Hoover
disclosed to-day The committee found,
however, that it was not possible now
to revise the figures to reflect accu-
rately the countrys trade for that
month. 1t recommended transfer of
the customs statistical service to the
Commerce Department to afford single
responsib lily for trade statistics.
insufficient clerical forces and con-
gestion of work, the committee said,
was responsible for the trade figures
falling behind their current months,
SO that some statistics were carried
over into later months.
