Apparel

In the outer apparel trade wholesale
activity has quleted down with the ap-
preaching end of the spring selling
seasoif> The next move is up to the
retailers.> Under the influence Of low
prices, according to retailers, women's
apparel has been moving into CON
sumption at steady pace Mems
clothing, however, is not as active as
the retailers anticipated, and sag in
mems furnishings also is noticed.
Fall clothing for both men and won
en- will be offered by the manufacturers
next month. In the mems clothing
field next seasons samples already
have been made, but the unsettled con
ditions of the labor market have pre-
vented definite price naming.
OF the accessories, hosiery and un-
derwear for spring are becoming more
active every week. The demand in
hosiery is centered largely on full
fashioned stockings. of which there
is dearth for immediate delivery, due
to the strike in most of the mills turn
ing out this product.
New-York tribune., 1921-04-25

Prices in the main continued steady
or huctuatcd but slightly. In the tex
tile apparel, shoes and fur fields prices
have changed but little in the last
month or more. giving the impression
of marked stability.
Reports from wholesalers and retail
ers throughout the country indicate
that the South and Southwest are re-
covering from the depression moro
slowly than other parts of the coun-
try. Trade is better in the North
the Eastern manufacturing sections
One Of the stirring developments Of
the week was the publication Of the
Federal Trade Commissions report to
President Harding, in which that body
intimated that the retailers and open
price associations among manufacture
ers were artihcially obstructing the
process of deflation. These accusations
were denied by leading retailers and
open-pricc men. The latter arc now
busy marshalling forth statistics to
prove the legality and economic utility
Of their operations in the past few
months, in anticipation of an investga-
tion by the commission and possibly
by the Department of Justice.
Despite the stability that textile
prices have shown, retailers are still
making their purchases on a hand-to-
mouth policy, and, as one wholesaler
remarks, with their hands too far
from their mouths" to suit the whole
salers and manufacturers. The produc-
tive and Wholesale distributive classes
still assert that more future ordering
is necessary for stimulating industry
to point where it can be run on an
even keel.
Overhead also is looming larger as
an important cost in present produc-
ton. 1t is contended that overhead, re-
naming a fairly fixed charge in money,
can only decrease in percentage when
greater production is resumed. From
this premise the manufacturers argue
that lower prices will result when full
time production is possible.

Americas Winter Wheat Crop
Estimated Above the Norma

ROME, April "a. - The bulletin
sued by the International Institute of
agriculture to-day says the prospects
for winter-sown crops are favorable in
the United States, where the promise
or wheat is 8 per cent above the aver
age yield of the last decade. In the
Southern Hemisphere the maize crop in
Argentina is estimated at SO million
metric tons, indicating a decrease of II
per cent compared with last season, but
an increase of II per cent over the av-
crage increase for five years.
The bulletin estimates that the pro-
duction of maize throughout the world
will be 94.S million tons, or per cent
above last season, and Is per cent
above the average.

Woolens

Steady Improvement is reported in
the woolen and worsted markets. Buy
ing is not as active as it was earlier
in the month and in March, but the
fall selling season is drawing to q
close. Late openings have been well
patronized, and great amouns of
goods, considering general condieions,
are under order for delivery through
September. The demand has been
strongest for novelty goods, such as
herringbones and pencil stripel for
mems suits, fancy back fabrics for
overcoats and tweeds and homespuns
for women's wear. The great staple
fabrics are not moving with much
rapidity.

The cotton goods markets were with

A strengthening of prices was noted in
the primary or gray goods market, with
more activity than the week before.
Buying however, was still on a re-

ume to give manufacturers much en-
couragement.
Finished goods continue spotty.
Ginghams, percales, fannels and

household cottons is strong and stocks

increasing, and more orders for future

cession in the demand for specialties
which had been anticipated in the
trade has been superseded by an in

immediate delivery. Shoe wholesalers
are said to be doing q steady business,

in weekly retail sales continued last
week, it was reported. According to
jewelry merchants, retailers are ap-
preaching the stage when they must
recorder to replenish stocks. Whole
salers, as q result of the increase in
retail sales, are receiving fair volume
of orders. In turn, this Improvement
gradually is being reflected in the

Interest in raw furs switched to Lon
don last week, where the annual spring
auctions were in progress. Reports
from the sales showed good advances
over January prices and indicated a
better position for the trade that was
apparent few months ago.
Locally trade is on restricted basis,
due to credit stringency and the un-
willingness Of retailers to place orders
indicating their ideas Of styles and
prices. Fall samples have been brought
out, without arousing much interest on
the part of the retailers.

arc increasing, but arc not considered
alarming yet Some clothing manufGc
turcrs have imported such goods di-
rect]y from foreign sources.
Raw wool was only moderately active
with prices unchanged during the week.
The great supply Of wool in this coun-
try and in foreign markets precludes
any sharp advances, it is thought, and
the anticipated tariff already appears
to have been discounted. One author
ity places the amount Of wool imported
into this country since December in
anticipation of tariff at 2OO,O 900 900
pounds.
Silks
Both the raw silk and finished sill,
goods markets were mere quiet than
for some weeks previous. The ptcscnt
lull is partly explained by the ln-bc-
tween seasons argument, but this does
not satisfy all producers. Retail dis
tribution continues fairly heavy, it is
reported, but neither retailers nor
wholesalers are buying much new
merchandise in the local primary mar
kets.
The dullness of the raw silk markets
is explained by the rather sharo ad :
vances that have been made in the
raw fiber lately. Manufacturers ap-
parently arc unwilling to follow up
these advances. Spot supplies arc
scarce in wanted sizes and qualities.
but the paying Of premiums for spot
silk in this market has almost ceased,
due to the fact that large supplies are
on their way from the Pacific Coast
and more on the sea in transit from
Japan. An exceptionally large lot is
due in New York to-day Raw silk
prices sagged off slightly toward the
close of the week, but failed to stimu-

Ship Versus Airplane Tests.

1t is never possible to obtain an ex-
perimental test of new war machinery
under actual conditions of combat !;
the sacrifice would be too great. The
suggestion of Secretary DANIELS that
he might navigate a battleship during
trial encounter with aircraft Is to
be regarded as controversial rather
than self-sacrificial.
Without risk or sacrifice of life a
fairly instructive experiment may,
however, be made IL a second hand
vessel can be spared for the purpose
Two vital questions are to be settled {:
the ability Of an airplane to hit so

Starving China.

down In the earth ] would soon reach
China. And many hole did dig in the
old Southern garden. with the fearful
hope that at any thrilling moment /
might get n glimpse into that mysteri-
Gus land where everything was topside-
down and come face TO face with a little
slant eyed Chinese child with a long
queue smiling back at me.
To-day I am sadly aware that the only
way TO reach China, now famine ridden,
is still to dig--to dig down deep into our
American pockets In order to come
through TO the suffering. who cannot
smile back because they are starving. l
see instead the tear stained faces of
many Chinese children holding out their
empty dinner bowls and calling what
sounds to us like "Keikfung !" which
means "Starvingp' Let us hear and re-
spond In so Oar as we are able.
