Spring ard summer was; goods con-

goods outside this ra' &c arc difficult
to move. Opinions differ on the ging-
nam situation. Jobbcrs are complaint
ing Of poor deliveries from the mills,
but retailers show little disposition to
place further orders for ginghams.
Sheetlng prices were revised down

mess developed that enabled some of
the selling agents to report that the
production up to June Is had been sold.
Curtailment of production is grow

voluntary and involuntary origin Many
Of the New England mills are operat-

closed because Of the strike. Southern
yarn mills are reported to be slowing

1t is interesting tn note that the tex
tile trades were the first TO feel the
depression that followed the war and
postwar boom. Also that they were
the first to show recovery from the de
preston last year, The dullness at
this time. therefore, is regarded largely
as temporary feature, a halting in the
progress toward a new normal basis.
The present situation in textiles has
been brought about, according to some
Observers. by an overproduction result
ing from a too optimistic attitude on
the part Of mill owners Raw cotton,
raw wool and raw silk all have had
price advances since The middle of last
year. In each case there have been re-
cessions from the peak reached carly
this year, but current prices are stlll
above the levels prevailing in mid
summer, 1921. The difficulties of the
textile mills now arise primarily from
these higher raw material costs.
coupled with a low market price for
finished products. The element of labor
eliminated in efforts Of the mills to
reduce wages
The iobbing trades are not particu-
the approach of spring, which normally
stimulates merchandising. Retail trade
also has been Backward February and
March, according TO most retail reports,
have been disappointing. Warm weather
and the fact chat Easter is but three
weeks off are expected 10 have a salu-
tary influence on consumer demand for
seasonable merchandise for the next
three weeks.
New-York tribune., 1922-03-27

has scarcely begun as yet, and few
mills have much fall business on their
books, although samples have been on
view for some time. The competition
between low priced woolens and high
priced worsteds continues. Worsteds
arc in a bad way, and the staples, such
as serge and tricotine, arc said to be
almost unmarketable at present. AL
though worsted sellers argue that the
poor wearing qualities Of the tweeds,
homespuns and other woolens now in
demand ultimately will react to the
benefit of the old-inc staple worsteds,
the reaction has not yet set in.
Yarn spinners are running on short
time. and the raw wool markets are
suffering from lack of demand.
Fuvs
The spring fur season, manufacture
ers and retailers report, has been dis
appointing. Some resistance to present
prices is still apparent. Raw furs have
shown some price declines recently, and
the outlook is fraught with much un-
certainty.
Manufacturing furriers arc prepar-
ing samples for the fall trade. In fact,
some samples have been shown, and a
few retailers, particularly those from
the Pacific Coast, have bought some fall
garments. In the main, however, the
season has not yet begun.
The New York raw fur auction has
been postponed from April II to April
24. Shipments for the sale have been
particularly heavy in the last few days,
it is reported,

released on cash bail of $500 this

Leather

The leather trade last week failed to
show any marked Improvement. A
slightly better demand for fancy fin
ished upper leather set in and prices
ruled fairly steady. Heavyweight sole
leather received more attention. In
hides several fair-sized sales were re-
ported, but the continued dispa rity be-
tween buyers and sellers ideas of
value retards any apprcciabc improve
ment in this market.
With some exceptions, the wholesale
demand for shoes appears to be slowing
down Retailers have not yet felt the
usual impetus Of the pre- Easter con-
sumner demand, and are awaiting fur
thcr development along this line before
committing themselves for additional
stocks Spring stocks in the hands of
retailers are, however, admittedly light.

Apparel

Preparations for spring merchandise
ing have caused some Of the usual
seasonal upswing in the women's ap-
parel lines. The volume of business,
however, is reported to be small com
pared with normal years. Retailers
are buying less at a time, but visit the
market more frequently. In the minds
of some manufacturers the spring sea-
son will be prolonged after Easter.
Manufacturers of summer house and
porch dresses are delayed in getting
their samples out and a late season on
strictly summer merchandise is antici-
pated. An upward swing in the corset
trade is reported, and among the outer
garments dresses appear to be in the
most favorable trade position.
In the mems apparel lines general
quiet continues. Retailers have not
bought all their spring requirements
and are awaiting consumer action be-
fore filling in with new stocks. Retail
offerings of spring top-coats and suits
appear to center on prices from $35 to
$50, with few suits or coats priced above
this figure, except in the highest class
establi shmcnts.

Silks

Two outstanding developments took
place in the silk trade last week. The
most important was the action at the
annual meeting Of the Silk Association
OF America in requesting the Japanese
raw silk trade to pursue an investiga~
tlon into the Yokohama Bourse to the
cAd that the speculation that is caus-
ing such violent price fluctuations will
be eliminated or at least curtailed. The
instability of raw silk pliccs has been
a barrier to expanding trade in silk
beyond doubt, and American manufac-
turers are convinced that no marked
progress can be made until the stu
alton in raw silk is cleared up.
The other development was the an
nouncement b. SchWarzenbach, Huber
& Co. and ]. II. & G. X. Eagle, Inc.
OF large lay-otfs in their mills as a
result Of unsatisfactory business con-
ditioms. Other mills also have been
curtailing production for some weeks
and the trade as a whole is believed
to be operating much less than 40 per
cent Of capacity.
Raw silk prices were appreciably
lower than during the previous week,
but firmer prices prevailed at the close
