How is the junk market these
days, Mr.. Blacker," inquired the
Posi- DISPATCH man a few days
ago.
Rotten" replied F. Blacker.
Haven't shipped a Car of junk
in six months, and the last one
went dead on me. Shipped a
carload of iron to a man in Gin
cinnati and when it reached him
he refused to take it, saying the
man he had it sold to had refused
to take it from him. And SC
that Car is somewhere on a rail
road siding, unless the railroad
in the meantime has sold it for
the freight. Lost a clean $4OC
on the car"
But you've made it up or
cow-hides, | suppose" continued
the inquirer.
mot a Bit" says F. B. "I'vt
got a solid carload of hides il
my warehouse now-hides that
paid IS cents per pound for, an(
can't get 6 cents per pound to
day. No, sir, there's no none!
in anything now-but I'll still
buy junk and hides regardless.
Blacker evidently believes il

by the huge pile of junk and hi

A movement has been launch
ed looking to the creation of par
don board, and the matter will
very likely be brought before the
approaching session of the Leg,
lature that convenes Dec. 9th.
The agitation for such a board is
the direct outcome of the Harris
case of last week, wherein Gov.
Morrison was subjected to such
a mental and physical strain that
he temporarily had a collapse,
The Governor refused to
change the verdict of the jury,
and the sentence of the Judge, in
the Ridgecrest Harris case, and
the man was duly electrocuted
on Thursday morning of last
week. But in refusing to inter
fere, he was bounded by the
lawyers of the murderer anc
every imaginable effort made tt
get the sentence changed to life
Imprisonment. 1t would have
been much easier for the Cover
nor to have acceded to popula
clamor, as created by the defend
ants lawyers, but he steadfastl,

COttons

The outstanding feature of the cot
ton goods market last week was the
large business booked on spring ging-
hams to be delivered from December
through March. The gingham section
has been one of the strongest divisions
of the trade right along, with demand
showing no sign of slackening and
production on sharply reduced scale.
Sheets, pillow tubings and similar ar
ticles also show considerable strength
and buyers are willing to place orders
for delivery several months ahead.
Percales and shirting materials, in
many cases, have been sold for delivery
as late as September, but most of the
other fabrics in the trade are being
sold in small quantities and for i'm
mediate or nearby delivery. Jobbers.
who are in the market to size up the
situation, seem to feel that lower
prices will be Forthcoming in the fall
and for this reason are buying only
what will fill their actual requirements
now
The gray or unfinished goods divi-
sion of the trade was steady in price
during the week, but showed large
fluctuations from day to day in the
volume of business.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-13
Woolens

Steadiness in reordering fall fabrics
from the woolen and worsted mills was
apparent last week. The mills are in
the midst of turning out the goods
previously ordered and are running
about rs per cent Of capacity, accord
ing to recent reports. Despite some
talk of a Shortage Of special fabrics,
buyers apparently are not worried over
this possibility.
The emergency tariff has boosted
the prices of foreign fabrics slightly,
but has made little appreciable diff
ference in the volume of current busi-
ness on them, according to sellers,
especially in the higher grades.
Plans are being made for opening
spring fabrics in July and August.
The raw wool market was spotty
during the week, but prices remained
firm. The buying Of new wool in the
West was more active than the week
before.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-13

Stabilization, although on RESTRICT
ed level, so far as volume Of business
is concerned, appears to have been
achieved in the textile and allied
trades. Price movements during the
last week were of minor nature in
these lines, and, on the whole, showed
more of strengthening than a weak
ening character. Raw cotton and raw
wool generally are conceded to have
reached price levels from which adj
vances rather than recessions are to be
expected. Raw silk continued to show
its advancing tendency and expert
opinion regarding it's future course is
sharply divided This uncertainty,
however, has had the effect of delaying
business Io aome extent, pending fu-
ture developments.
Retail trade last week continued as
one of the brightest spots in the gen.
eral situation. Although retail prices
are showing a downward rather than
an upward or stationary tendency, the
volume of goods that are passing over
the retail counters, according to au-
thentic reports, is much larger than
1t was year ago. 1t must be consid-
cred, though, that at this period last
year the retail trade was feeling the
effect of the so-called buyers strike
the great price decline had just begun
to get under way and the consumers
were holding off pending still further
cuts into prices.
Locally, the retail trade last week
witnessed some keen competition in the
apparel field, particularly in mems
clothing. Straw hats were rather sharp
ly reduced by leading chain of stores,
several of the department. stores made
reductions in mems suits and lower
prices were thrown out to the women
by department stores and speciality
shops carrying dresses, blouses, skirts
and other apparel.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-13
Jewelry

The jewelry trade last week was
more cheerful than it has been for
some time. Retailers believe that sales
during the present month will reach
a pre-war normal volume.
Wholesale sales last week showed
some Improvement over the preceding
widely scattered. The small demand
for diamonds was for both large and
small stones. Retailers continued to
show great restraint in ordering new
goods. A noticeable gain was shown
in silverware sales, retailers reported.
Prices were unchanged.

Leather

Trading in the leather market last
week was inclined to sag. Shipments,
which were mainly of the better grades,
were largely against old contracts. In
terest in patent leather showed no
signs of abatement, and tanners and
manufacturers believe that this grade
of leather is in for good fall and
winter run. Calf skin prices, because
Of freer supply and lower rates in
the raw material market, declined
somewhat from the closing quotation
of the preceding week.
Production in the footwear industry
again increased. A good business in
seasonable goods was reported by shoe
wholesalers in the West and Middle
West. Larger transactions are ex-
pected in the trade after inventory
taking is completed early next month.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-13
Apparel

The fall wholesale season in women's
garments gradually is getting under
way. Initial orders, of course, have been
confined to the strictly high class gar
ments, and as yet have reached little
beyond the sampling stage. The early
orders are placed by retailers with
view Of having something new on dis
play and to test out the price and style
predictions of the public.
Conditions in the mems trade are
still spotty. Some manufacturers have
booked good orders, while others are
complaining of a paucity of business.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-13
Furs

The fur trade is working up to
higher level of activity as the pro-
ducing season on fall and winter goods
progresses. A report issued by the fur
workers union indicated a greater en-
ployment in the industry in the last
few weeks than at any time this year.
Manufacturing furriers report fair
orders from the retailers in anticipa-
tion of the August fur sales. A few Of
the retail buying syndicates have been
in the market and have placed orders
that compare favorabiy with those of
former years, with the exception Of
1918 and 1919.
The raw fur trade was moro active,
but attempts to lift prices met with
little success.

Silks

A steady and continuous rise in Jap
anese and Chinese raw tlk last week
furnished the principal activity in the
silk market. Local buying was re-
stricted to some extent by the price
advance, but later in the week pur-
chasing showed signs of picking up,
although silk manufacturers are buy
ing only sufficient quantities to keep
their mills running on current orders.
Sales of finished silks showed little
variation from the past two or three
weeks. Some orders for fall delivery
are being booked, but active ordering
for fall is not expected for another
two or three weeks. The jobbng trade
continues to hold back in buying, but
the retail trade is in the market con-
sistently and continually, according to
manufacturers. Prices on finished silks
have held steady.
