1t is anticipated that the market will
remain on the present high level for a
considerable time. A shortage Of raw
silk during the latter part OF next spring
is a possibility because of the reduced
crops in China. Canton and Japan and
heavy shipments w Iich have eound their
way into consumption.

Zurich's Dollar Rous1S.

The report that the city of Zurich had
floated a loan in Switzerland for raising
funds TO retire its per cent dollar
bonds, OF which 100000 are outstand-
ing here, was erroneous. Those bonds
cannot be called for payment until Oc-
tober Is, 1926, and then only at 107.
The city did float in October a success
full issue OF 100000 francs In 6 per
cent. bonds, repayable at par on Sep
TENDER 80. 1921, but the purpose of that
issue was TO refund its 4 per cent. loan
of 1901, due on November 30, 1921, and
for tho sano amount. II IL were pos
sible for the city to call the dollar bonds
now, the price OF Swiss francs in New
York would enable it to pay the dollar
loan with the proceeds OF $4,000, 900
franc loan I'm Switzerland. and IL It bore
per cent. coupon. tho saving i'm in
terest would be more tina 100000 francs
year.

Jobbcrs Complain Of Tanners.

The retention of high prices by tanners
for lamb alligator and other grades of
leather that cannot be initiated, in spite
OF the recent drop in price of raw leather.
and the consumers demand for lower
prices is given by manufacturers and
jobbers of leather goods as u reason for
the unsatisfactory state of affairs in
which they find themselves. According
TO ono manufactures, there can be no
return to u moro active demand until
the tanners follow tho trend of the mar
ket by reducing prices OF refined leather
to tho jobber. The holiday period has
haG an enllyening influence on the buy
Ing. however, but it is believed to be only
temporary one. The most active seller
Is the spider calf leather handbag, made
in two and three toned colors, red being
tho contrasting color. Only more mod
crate priced merchandise is being sold.

Decreased cost and signs OF a. boom
in the building industry apparently arc
having their effect on tho sale OF WIN
dow shades. One of the largest manu-
facturers and jobbers in the country
reports active buying in that line, with
demand, contrary to the general
tendency, running to tho more expensive
Opaque and Holland shades. Water color
shades OF cheaper grades also are re-
ported in fair demand. That manufac-
turer reports also active buying OF

An adjustment mortgage is ono that
usually covers or represents improve
ments. An adjustment bond. therefore,
is issued for tho adjustment of COM
pany's finances TO its increased need for
funds for improvements or extensions.
The bonds are usually an original or first
lien on the new property or are lien
after existing liens on property that is
improved by expenditures on It from
the proceeds of tho new issuo of bonds.
Bonds bearing that designation have
been issued in connection with The reor-
ganlzation OF companies In the adjust
ment OF equities duo security holders.
In that case the term adjustment does
not relate to tho character of tho secur-
lty behind the bond. which may he of any
grade.

Tailored Waists.

Not great deal of business is being
put through, practically the only demand
being for tailored waists OF moro sub
stantial materials. Prices are generally
lower. A large waist manufacturer esti-
mates the general drop to average at
least 40 per cent. in all lines. The holi-
day trade is reported as not up to that
OF other years. For spring wear manu-
facturers anticipate a large demand for
the tunic blouse OF three-quarters length
with Paisley trimming. Reports from
statesmen show tendency for hand to
mouth buying on tho part OF retailers.

Novelty Aimed At in Umbrellas.

Natural and carved wooden handles
are claiming more attention and usually
In combination with bakelite. celluloid
or leather. The increased showing OF
wood handles on women's umbrellas
is not expected, however, TO displace
newer types. Carved ivory effects are
being freely shown by tho local trade
and Oriental influences arc marked.
More frequent use of colored designs
is also noticeable in new creations for
finer umbrellas. Tho straight post with
fancy cap and loop is favoritc, leather
being freely used.

raIsity OF Comparative Values.

Tho great food of bargain offerings.
with prices apparently descending at a
rapid rate, has been causing manufac-
turers much concern. Tho practice OF
quoting comparative values has become
common among retailers, and much mis-
representation, st. is claimed, is duo to
tho fact that many dealers will use
wartime prices to show a big reduction
by comparison with current offerings.
Tho results OF such practices, according
to manufacturers, has been to act as a
boomerang on the trade by making the
reliability Of such statements question
able. Merchants are being urged to
eliminate gradually comparative prices
from their advertisements.

Price Adjustment In Textiles.

The question OF price adjustment in
fertile trades is receiving much OF the
attention of those in the industry.
Whether or not such an adjustment can
be affected is problematical, according
to those concerned. 1t appears to DO the
consensus of opinion, however, that one
Of the initial moves to bring 1t about
must be the curtailing Of extravagances.
1t is pointed out also that Just as soon
as the whole industry looks the situa-
ton in the face and realizes the facts,
just so soon will the business get to the
point of meeting requirements.

F|TzS|MMONS won TITLE
FROM CORBETT IN 1891

The heavyweight championship
slipped out of the grasp of an Am
erican for the first time IN st. Pat
rick's Day, 1897, when Robert Fitz-
simmons. a lanky Australian, pound
ed James j. Cofbett into submission
in the fourteenth round.
The occasion was the first of which
moving pictures were taken. Both
fighters enjoyed Kaleidoscope rights
as the side money was denominated
at that time.
1t was also the beginning of wo-
mans entry into the role of specta-
tor, The fight was held at Carson
City, New, and all the newspapers
made much over the presence of
twenty women among the 1000 pres
ent. One of these was Mrs. Fitz-
simmons.
The Australian weighed 1877
pounds while Corbett weighed 1873.
The champion foored the foreigner
in the sixth round but lacked the
finishing punch. In the final round
Fitzsimmons sprang from his corner
and planted his right glove over the
champions heart.
A large crowd of fans who fav-
ored the Australian. jumped into the
ring and surrounded him. Corbett
opening his eyes famed with anger.
He charged through the circle and
the two fighters were locked in a
vicious clinch. Outsiders had to
separate them.

AQUEH0NGAs To
PLAY GAMES
Double Header Will be Stag
ed Sunday at the Totem
vile Diamond; Fast Teams

Two games will be played on the
Tottenville grounds Sunday after
noon so that the followers of the
Aquehonga baseball team can see a
double attraction to make up for the
poor showing of the Lenox A. C.
team of Brooklyn on last Sunday
afternoon. The strong Internationals
of Brooklyn will oppose the regular
Aquehonga team in the main game
of the double-header, while the Pio-
neers of this city will play the new
Aquehonga team in the preliminary
game.
Hallowell will pitch for the new
A~quehonga team in the opening
game of the double-header, while
Olsen will probably occupy the
mound for the Perth Amboy toss
ers. The Pioneers defeated the
Morgan A. c. nine last Sunday af-
ternoon, the game being awarded by
forfeit after the Morgans left the
field in the first inning. The new
as the regular Aquehonga outfit,
should put up an interesting game,
and the fans should be all set to
witness a real tussle between the
regular Aquehongas and the strong
Internationals in the second game.
The old reliable, Art Romer. will
be Manager Carfoot's choice for
mound duty in the second game of
the double-header, and the remain
der of the team will be the same as
has been u%pholding the colors of the
Aquehonga club on the diamond so
far this season. The first game will
get under way at 1880 o'clock, and
the second contest will start prompt
" at $50 o'clock.
