Furs

Financial difficulties have not disap-
peared from the fur trade, and this, it
is believed, is retarding some Of the
Improvement that might be expected
from the trend of the apparel trades as
a whole. The announcement of an ex-
ceptionally large list of furs in the
Funston Brothers & Company's winter
auction in ST. Louis next month came
as surprise to many in the trade. 1t
port will be given the sale. The af-
fairs of the company are understood to
be in the hands of committee of
bankers.

Leather

The gradual improvement in the
leather trade which has been per
ceptible for the last few weeks, is still
in evidence. Leather men are looking
forward with a more optimistic view
than they have for some time. In
their opinion the crisis in the leather
industry has been passed and the
Their belief IS somewhat substan-
tiated by the fact that the stocks of
the manufacturer must in all rrob-
ability be nearing depletion.

VII Inc otner hand, business men
are still timid in making plans fol-
future merchandising operations, Most
OF the increased buying has been re.
strlcted to merchandise that will be
used during the next two months. In
only a few instances have merchants
been willing to commit themselves t.
contracts to be executed in March or
April. Sellers, too, are cautious in
offering goods for delivery 40 far

While reports Of mill curtailment
continue to be received, announcements
OF assumptions of operations are be-

opinion of some trade leaders, produc-

curtallments being offset by increased
production in other plants. Produc-

Reductions in the price of fat ware
and sterling silverware have been
made, and, although no reductions in
silverplated and hollow ware prices
have been announced as yet, leading
manufacturers promised that there
would be slight reductions in that line
shortly. Manufacturers said that it is
their intention to cut the prices on the
most useful articles, or those in de-
mand,. first, such as knives, forks and
spoons
Reports received from retailers dis
closed that the year 1920 had been a
satisfactory one from the jewelers.
point of view. Although some sections
OF the country reported business to
have declined from the preceding year,
the consensus seems to point to a vol
ume of trade equal to that of 1919,
with the value in dollars and cents
behind the value for that year. These
reports indicated that the large part
of the buying done in 1920 had been
conferred on moderate priced jewelry.
Retailers noted drop in the demand
tor high-priced diamonds and Jewels.
Apparel
Encouraging features outweighed
dlscouraging ones in the apparel trades
last week. A fair business was done
by manufacturers and wholesalers of
women's garments in early spring mod
els. The buying so far has been in
small quantities, but indications point
to more activity in another week or
two. Many of the buyers for retail
establishments have not come to the
market yet because they have been
busy at home conducting clearance
sales that are depicting their stocks
of winter garments
Twenty mems clothing factories in
Rochester have resumed operations, ap-
parently upon the strength of spring
orders placed up to the present. 1t is
not anticipated that producers will
make up heavy stocks in anticipation
of future orders, but will contine their
production as closely as possible to
goods for which they hold firm con-
tracts.
At retail apparel has reached new low
levels for 1920-'21, but continued I'M

ers in holding off making purchases.

oleached goods, although many buyers
still consider prices on the latter too
high for heavy operation.

opening. Fall River quotations on
$500 3sn-inch print cloths were
steady at 81 cents yard, half cent
above that of the previous week In
the open market some goods changed
hands at cents, and for some small
lots 81s ceyts was paid for imme dia se
deliveries.
Silks
Continued improvement in the de-
mand' for silk goods enabled some of
the manufacturers of high-grade spe-
cialty fabrics to advance. prices and
hold them. The market is still suf-
fering from fairly large surplus of
low-grade merchandise, for which sac
rifice prices only can be obtained. The
effect of this surplus is minimized,
however, by the fact that consumers
appear to be demanding quality even
more insistently than they did during
the last few years.
The raw silk market was more &C.
tive, with some of the coarser Japanese
grades sharing in the immediate de-
mand, which hitherto has been con-
fined largely to Canton silks. Late
cables from Japan, however, indicated
wavering in prices there, despite new
purchases by the syndicate formed to
peg the price Of raw silk. In the main
local quotations are below the syndi-
cate prices in Japan.
