Silks

Raw silk prices advanced early. in
the week and then held firm for the
remainder Of the period. The price
advance had little effect upon the fin
lshed goods market outside of in
fiuencing manufacturers to curtaiI their
buying of raw material. The demand
for finished silks continues on a re-
strlcted basis, with buyers exerting
great pressure for low prices. Manu-
facturers still complain that present
prices do not show d sufficient margin
OF profit over manufacturing costs.
New-York tribune., 1922-04-24

AZ yet, however, merchants and deal
ers in various commodities are show
ing disposition to proceed cautiously.
One Of the big difficulties Of the pres
ent situation is to handle the great
number Of small orders that come
through, without increasing the over
head. Retailers, and many Of the
large ones, too, arc buying commodi-
ties IN the smallest assortments pos
slbie. In silk goods, for instance,
orders for ffteon-yard lengths instead
OF tuIl piece are being placed. Orders
for shoes are trimmed to a size range
running from fours to skies; quarter
dozen lots III shirts. hats and other
varieties of merchandise are said to be
| more common than larger orders.
ne primary textile markets made
some decided progress last week I'm
hnIshcd cotton goods were more active
and slightly higher in price. Renewed
activity came into the Woolen goods
market. Improvement was not so
| marked in silks, but manufacturers in
! general feel that the situation is bet
ter than it was a week or two weeks
ago.
Conflicting reports continue to
emerge from the retail trade. Adverse
weather halted business to some ex-
tent last week, but the spring bust
ness so far has not been bad, consider
ing the general economic situation.
In many directions foreign trade is
beginning to show more life. Foreign
orders for cotton goods, lumber and

Her present indisposition goes back to
