So far as the stabilization Of prices
is concerned, the past week showed
some progress along this line. The
drop in raw silk prices apparently has
been checked. Cotton and wool were
steady to slightly weak. Manufactured
products, however, were more firm
New prices for hosiery for fall de-
livery actually showed slight advances
in silk and artificial silk numbers. New
prices were made on denims by one of
the largest producers, bringing them
down couple of points. Cotton print
cloth prices were steady.
Production reports emanating from
the textile and kindred trades Indicate
that in the main machinery is from so
to rs per cent employed at present,
Although no definite solution Of the
foreign trade problem was agreed upon
at the convention and world trade CON
ference here last week under the aus
pices of the National Association of
Manufacturers, the problem was clari-
ned to some extent and many of the
individual producers asserted their in
tention of tackling the problem anew.
The conference was honored with the
presence OF foreign Ambassadors, Min
listers and commercial representatives
who described conditions in their own
countries and offered suggestions for
reviving foreign commerce. In most
cases, it was pointed out, the lack of
credit and the low rates Of exchange
are the greatest obstacles to foreign
trade at present.
The manufacturers went on record
as favoring the spread of the open
shop doctrine and approved a severe
arralgnment Of the present policies of
labor leaders.

WooIe,,s

Woolen production, as shown by the
monthly statistics issued late last week
by the Department of Commerce, is in
creasing rapidly and is now close to
70 or rs per cent of the capacity of the
mills. Present sales are slow, due to
the seasonal influences. Some mills
can still take on additional orders
while others assert that they will be
unable to produce all the goods con-
tracted for for delivery into the fall
The garment manufacturing trades are
believed to have ordered their initial
requirements, and future business
from these sources depends upon the
manner in which orders are booked
for all clothing. Present indications
along this line are favorable, according
to all reports.

.JeWelry

Retail jewelers. last week reported
total sales for the first fifteen days in
May slightly ahead of April figures.
In the silverware division retailers
said that the increase over April was
substantial, although behind the total
for year ago. Silver workers last
week were still at odds with their en-
ployers over the 48hours -a-week
schedule.
Clock manufacturers reported the de-
mand for their product somewhat of a
spasmodic character. The improve
ment in the condition of the trade was
slight. The introduction of tambour
clocks into the line of one company Gre
ated a good demand, according to a
representative. Another clock com
pany announced the intention to in
troduce several new patterns for the
fall trade.

A slightly better feeling pcrvades
the fur trade, although business re
mains on restricted basis. The fall
manufacturing season has not yet be
gun and manufacturing furriers are
chary in laying in stocks of raw ma
terials until they discover the buying
temper of the retailers. The latter are
placing some orders for delivery Of
goods for the August fur sales, but
so far the business has not shown
much snap. Prices apparently are well
stabilized.

by the New York Fur Auction Sales

finished silk goods and the present
volume of business Is satisfactory TO
most producers under present condi-
tions.
Raw silk seems to have reached at
least temporary stability after its
decline Of week or two ago. Conflict
ing reports come from Japan concern
ing the future intentions Of the I'm
perial syndicate which has been trying
to keep the price of raw silk pegged on
a basis of 1900 yen for Sinshiu No. /.
The situation. is not regarded as criti-
cal and those closest to the raw silk
market anticipate only slight further
drop. If any. However, manufacturers
are not yet buying for future require
