Organized Move TO Eliminate
Price Cutting in Womcn's
Garment Field: Early
Business Said To Be Fair

Women's garment contractors In tae
Local apparel field arc moving 70 stAhi-
lie the market fof their services The
organized contractors In the cloak and
'uit field. a. well a. those in the dress
trade. have both begun movements
looking toward the elimination Of much
~ the ruthless" competition that has
been IN swing for the past two or three
seasons. The contractors assert that
many 81 the jobbefs. upon whose orders
they make up garments. have squeezed
nriccs down until there Is no profit
left for the contractor. One Of the
organizations is fighting for certain
Fixed percentage Of profit based on
operating costs. For those not familiar
With the contract system 10 ~ explained
that the contractors merely main
tain operating plants and hire the la
Dor. The jobber owns the cloth and
decides what styles are TO be made.
Some OF the labor jobbcrs are under
stood 70 favor the stabilizing Of the
contract market. as such a course would
lead 20 the elimination 81 much OF the
price cutting prevalent in the garment
field.
The fall season in the women's gar
ment manufacturing field got under
way this week, with the initial show
ings Of now styles in many OF the local
showrooms a. we'll ~ on the road.
Early response 20 these showings Is re-
ported as fair. with retailers still buy
ing cautiously. Some OF the higher
priced garments have been bought for
early delivery for use by retailers IN
window display. but the bulk Of early
orders has been conferred on the me
dium priced garments OF good quality.

Continued improvement in zen.

little ground Tor the fear. fclt By
some. that relapse may take place
this summer.
"Some slaekening In the ratio Of
improvement may occur IN July and

will be a normal development. Tor
midsummer always has been =
period for slowing down in American

Among factors which might he
seriously effective in reducing bust

textile strikes and the Threatened
railroad strikes are the most i'm

probable that solutions for these
difficulties will be found and that
improvement now under way will
continue with no more than normal
seasonal hesitation during the sum

Will Attempt TO
Develop Market
For Trade Bills
Dealers Would PIT, Them
on ; similar Basis
TO Bankers Acccpiances;
Slow Growth Expected

Several leading bill dealers will at
tempt during the next fortnight 10 ere
ate market Tor trade acceptnuccs on
the same basis as that which has been
developed for bankers acecptanccs.
This move. which is made practicable
under q rcecn; ruling 81 the Federal
Reserve Board whereby Federal Re
serve banks arc permitted TO purchase
trade acccpiances for their portfolios,
will be undertaken with caution AZ the
outset and the growth Of the market is
expected 20 be slow. but dealings IN
this class Of bills are counted upon
ultimately 20 form an important ad-
iunct OF the discount market
Some difficulty IS looked for In cstab-
fishing uniformity Of quotations on
trade acccpfhnccs a. tho start but ulti-
mstoly they are expected 70 be clAssi-
fed according 90 the credit standing Of
the corporation indorsing the bills. a
grouping similar 20 that existing In
the commercial paper market coming
into force. II Re estimated that the
rate diferential between prime bank
ers' bills and frst-elass trade accept
anccs will be approximately one-hAlf
Of per cent In favor o. the former.
A factor that may retard the devel-
opment Of the market Is that the ranks
Of potential purchasers Of trade nc
ceptances will almost certainly be more
limited ,han IS the case with bankers
bills. Savings banks, for example, are
among the largest buyers ~ bankers
acceptanccs when the prevailing rate OF
discount makes a profit possible and II
was said yesterday that the legality Of
trade acceptances for purchase by them
would be more limited. Moreover, they
will not. as originated. be eligible for
redscount al the Federal Reserve
banks.
Creation Of an open market Tor trade
acccptances. one authority on the dis
count market said yesterday, will re-.
lease a large volume Of this class oil
bills now held By corporations. The
latter can SEP the bills with their In
dorscment AMI turn the funds 70 other
uses. Financing through the medium
Of trade acceptanccs, II was pointed
out. will be cheaper than through inc
medium OF commercial paper, present
ing a saving Of roughly one-ha!i Of
Der cent

Cavalier Review Says Holders
Expect Further Advances

Holders Of raw silk IN this market
remain firm IN their price view and cx-
pcct still higher prices. according 70
the weekly market review by II. l..
Cavalier & Co.
"The local raw silk market has ad-
vanced sharply in sympathy with de-
cidedly stronger tone on all the pri-
mary markets" says the review. land
prices have gone beyond previous high
levels Al the advance fairly active
buying developed both on the part Of
broad silk and ribbon manufacturers,
who were encouraged hy a decided i'm
provcmcnt in the fabric market. while
on the other hand the hosiery trade
still continues 10 hold back. though the
mills are known 20 be very poorly sup
piled with raw material and likely 70
be forced 10 rc-cnter the market AZ any
moment.
THE turnover Of the week has been
considerable. with the demand bearing
both on Japan and Canton silks. which
have been literally dealt in for ship
men during the next two months, par
ticularly in high grades and coarse
sizes, the spot supply Of which is very
low. At the close business has quoted
down somewhat"

Although there has been some oxpap-
