Cubans Retract Cancellation

Five of the eleven Cienfuegos, Cuba,
marchants, whose firms signed circu-
lar on January 81, sent to this market
asking for the cancellation of untitled
contracts, rebates upon goods already
delivered and an extension of time on
bills due, yesterday retracted that part
of the letter referring to the cancella-
ton of pending or future contracts.
The five Cubans met two committees in
the rooms of the Association of Cotton
Textile Merchants yesterday, one rep
resenting the association, headed by
Ridley Watts, and another representing
the Converters' Association, headed by
Louis Siegbert, president.
Although an official statement issued
after the meeting merely reported that
the Cubans had repudiated the cancel
lation part of the circular, it is under
stood that negotiations are under way
looking to an agreement on past due
accounts and upon the rebates request
ed by the island merchants. Other New
York sales agents and manufacturers
who are involved with the Cubans will
meet in the textile merchants associa-
tion rooms to-day at $3.50 for further
discussion of the situation.
The Cubans signing the reputation
yesterday were: Mario Nunez Mesa,
representing Carrefo y Garcia; Manuel
Soils, representing Leiva, Soils Ca,
S. en- c.; Pedro Antonio Alvarez, repre-
senting Puente y Menendez, S. en- c.;
Alfredo Valeiras, representing Valeiras
y Hno., S. en- c., and Manuel Gonzalez
Diaz, representing Alfonso Gonzalez y
Ca, S. en- C.

Export Managers Organize
Gallup Heads Group; First Con.
yeusinYr mn Morcg, II

Organization Of the National FEEDER
alton Of Export Managers was an
nounced yesterday by Oren o. Gallup,
export manager of the Simonds Manu-
featuring Company and president of
the Export Managers Club of New
York. The new organization is designed
to include the directors of foreign
business of the most important indus
tries in the United States. A call for
the first convention of the new body
has been issued, with the date set for
March at the Pennsylvania Hotel in
this city.
Zone of the chief aims of the feder-
ation," said Mr.. Gallup, "will be to
maintain high standard of pers onnel
among the export managers and to re-
quire certain qualifications in exreri-
| ence and ability for membership. 1t
will work in close conjunction with
such existing organizations as the
National Foreign Trade Council, the
American Manufacturers Export AS
sociation and the National Association
of Manufacturers for the purpose Of
centraizing in one bureau definite and
concrete information regarding the
problems of foreign trade"
Carl Greene, secretary of the Export
Managers Club of New York, asserted
that one of the hopes of the fedora
1 tlon is to overcome the antagonism
aroused by the laxity and indifference
Of the average American manufacturer

Production Has Been Scaled
Down to Meet Present
Consumption; Spot Busi-
ness in Spring Goods

The woolen goods market will take
definite action next week to move into
the fall selling season. The American
Woolen Company will open on Monday
fall lines of fabrics adaptable for tho
cloak and suit trade, including q spe-
cial line of tricotines, velours and
serges and fancy skirting. 1t is ru-
mored, also, that the American, the
largest single producer in the field,
will open it's mems overcoating depart
ment on Wednesday.
1t is expected that many other
houses also will begin showing over
coatings next week. In fact. some lines
already have been opened for the in
spection of the buyers, but in only a
few cases have firm prices been quoted.
1t is recognized that the American sets
the price pace on staple goods.
The opening next week will find the
market in frmer position than it has
been since last September. A consid-
cradle quantity of spot business in
spring fabrics has developed of late.
One of the large producers, reckoned
next to the American in the amount of
goods turned out in a year, has been
selling its goods as fast as produced
for the last month or more. Further
company. the goods are going directly
to the cutting tables Of garment manu-
facturers, thus eliminating any fear of
surplus being piled up in second
hands. This company has been run
ming its main mills on four-day shift
and Is now considering instituting a
five-day shift
Throughout the trade production has
been scaled down to meet present con-
sumption, and the course of goods from
the loom to the retailer has been
shortened considerably. This has given
rise to belief that the trade is on a
firm footing, particularly with regard
to desirable merchandise.
Although fancy back overcoatings
have been given first place as the se..-
sons choice before the general open
ings, some of the producers are bring
ing out fabrics of distinctly different
character, in the belief that the fancy
backs will be overdone. This is true
of the manufacturers of high grade
fabrics.

Auto Tire Trade
Shows Improvement

The automobile tire industry, which
has experienced stagnant period since
late in the summer, is beginning. to show
marked Improvement, according to lead
ing manufacturers. Large stocks of
tires in the hands of manufacturers are
said to be nearing consumption as the
result of moderate revival of buying
Many companies are reported to have
taken back much of the labor released
when the industry was enveloped by de-
pressing conditions.
Leading factors in the tire industry
expressed the opinion that March /,
when automobile owners start to pre-
pare for spring tours, will find the trade
in a normal condition. One manufac-
turer asserted that greater number of
auto owners are using their old tires
longer than usual, and added that many
do not carry any extra tires. Trade
men regarded further reduction in
price as improbable at this time.

Wooden Goods Fall Selling
Finds Market Much Firmer
Fails to Find Flood
OF "Distress'' Goods

The Wholesale markets do not pre-
sent food of merchandise at sac
rifice prices, according to an official
of the retail firm H. Batterman
Company, Brooklyn, which adver-
tised as ready to buy quantities of
goods at low prices.
"The statesmen who responded to
our ads" said buyer, "in most
cases showed their regular samples
and quoted firm prices. In fact, the
prices quoted to Us appeared to be
above the regular open market in
most cases. This indicates that
the great quantities of distress mer-
chandise overhanging the local mar
ket some months ago have been
liquidated or that the situation has
stiffened enough to encourage those
who have goods to hold on for bet
ter prices"

of toy manufacturers to discuss the
proposition was held under the chair
manship of Harry E. Sherman, of Har-
per e. Bros, at which it was decided
to defer definite action until later

expressed the opinion that the fair

Prices Irregular
I'm Curb Trading;
C.arib Is Stronger
Motor Stocks More Active,
With Slight Advances;
Reading Rights Move Up;
Oils Generally Lower

Trading was fairly active on the curb
market yesterday, but conflicting In
fuences brought an irregular trend In
prices. Motor shares were more active
with slight advances. Durant Motors
advanced n to a new high at 1919.

Marked Improvement i'm
Chicago Leather Market

Increased inquiries on the part of
tanners have been reported in the leather
market in Chicago. Buying, while still
below normal, is in larger quantities
than recently. One Chicago packer is
said to have sold his January production
of calf skins at 16 cents, which repre-
sented an advance of cents over the
prevailing price, while another is re-
ported to have refused 15h cents for
the remainder of the late 1920 skins,
preferring to hold back until he can get
IL cents.
Specialties seem to be the popular
demand in the local leather market.
Buyers are said to be ordering high
grades of calf skins in larger guam
titles than formerly, while the same is
said of high grades of upper leather.

sorry notes. 1t also owns 23,265 shares

Commercial Credit

Many bankers in leading cities
throughout the country are refusing to
extend further accommodation to those
who fail to live up to their contrac-
tual obligations, according to The
Credit Guide. The cooperation of the
bankers in aiding to stamp out the
cancellation and return of merchandise
evils Is felt to mark a big step forward.
AS stabilizing influence the following
slogan is being disseminated through
out buying centers: "Buy what you
need and sell what you buy. Don't buy
beyond necessities and thus create an
unstable market"
Commercial paper rates were firm
yesterday at IN per cent for the bulk
of notes, with few high grade names
going at the smaller discount of III
per cent.
Bankers acceptances were unchanged
at the following rates, quoted by the
