Leather

Excepting in certain grades for
which a small demand from shoe man
ufacturers continues, general apathy
prevailed last week in the leather
trade: With stocks still plethoric, tan
ners hold little hope for a revival of
business in the immediate future. A
fairly strong call for cafskins exists
and the paucity of the supply available
has led holders to stiffen prices.

the apparently large catch of American

of event, on the Bourse, and in some
quarters the abolition Of Boursc trad.
ing in raw silk is being advocated. Tho
open market in Japan and the local raw
silk market reflected the lower price,
to some extent. Locally prices dropped
about 40 cents pound during the
week, bringing Kansai double extra
cracks, the best grade Of raw silk. down
TO about S765 a pound, with some sell
ers inclined to make ncessions from
this figure.
The reaction on the goods trade is
difficult for the manufacturers to com
bat. since manufactured silk prices
have not reelected the high prices il
the raw market, according to their
spohcsmen.

COttOns


Cotton goods ran into another slump
last week. caused primarily by the con-
tinued decline in new cotton prices.
Tho wage readjustments in Rhode
Island and Connecticut also cxerted AL
influence indirectly, since buyers take
such action as prcsaging lower prices
on goods.
Percalc prices for forward delivery
were made, the finer goods showing
some reduction, but the coarscr counts
being maintained at old price levels.
Some dissatisfaction with the latter
was expressed BY buyers and vas re
dcctcd in the light buying Of the coarse
goods and better buying OF the finer
fabrics. Ginghams continue we'll sold
ahead. Bcached goods are fairly we'll
ordered for a couple Of months ahead,
but new orders have been light.
Gray or unfinished goods reached

standard 460 3sh-inch print cloths
dropping to as low as eight cents

AAHaSlACO ctlhSs
The general weakness Of textile and
allied lines. which were among the first
to show signs Of revivification last
year, has had generally upsettlnC in
Huence on business, with the result that
extreme caution is being displayed In
all business dealings. Efforts to IN
huence merchants to place orders Of
any size for materials to be delivered
in the future have been futile, except
III rare instances. The hand-to mouth
policy of buying appears TO be as firm
lv intrenched as ever. Statements to
the effect that the available supplies Of
some commodities arc scarce and that
shortage is likely to obtain in the near
future have had no perceptible effect
in soading traders into anticipating
their future wants much further ahead
than one or t~o months. Knit under
wear. woolens. blankets and a few
minor lines arc about all that have
had any success in moving into the
fall season. and even in those lines
cautious huying has been tho general
rule.
Retail trade remained generally dull.
With merchants reporting disappont
mcnt at the response to cut price sales.

A SALUDA FARMER
TAKES OWN LIFE
Hodge Zimmerman Blows OF TOP
OF Head With Shot Gun.
Lived in Good Hope

Saluda, March 9.-Hodge Tim
norman, a white man, and prosper
GUS farmer between 60 and IS
years old, committed suicide yester-
day at his home in the Baptist Good
Hope section of the county. Getting
up from the dinner table he went on
the front porch, seated himself in a
chair, removed his left shoe and
sock, placed a shotgun to his fore
head and pulled the trigger with his
toe. The load blew the entire top of
his head off and he died instantly,
however, the body did not fall out
of the chair.
1t seems that Mr.. Zimmerman
tried to kill himself some few years
ago by taking laudanum and it is
thought that he has been slightly
unbalanced mentally for a number
of years. He was in good fircum-
stances, according to reports, and
financial troubles could hardly have
been the motive for killing himself.

MUCH DEBATE IN HOUSE
Rejects , Proposal Not To Tax
Municipal Plants

Columbia, March 9.-The House
of Representatives consumed the
whole of it's night session with de-
bate on the bills requiring an edu.
cational survey of the State and ex-
emptons excluding municipality own
ed ice, electric light, water and gas
plants from taxation, both of which
were rejected.
Only those who have tickets, two
of which were allotted to each
member of the House, will be al
lowed on the floor of the House to-
morrow when MIR. Cox will make an
address. The gallery is free to the
public. Hundreds Of applications for
tickets were made tonight and the
estimate is that nothing like the
crowd to do honor to the dis
tinguished Ohioan can be accommo-
dated. The hall and lobby of the
House are handsomely decorated
with the national colors in honor Of
Mr.. Cox.
The educational survey bill
which was rejected tonight pro-
vides for a commission Of five
members, to be appointed by the
Governor, and they were to serve
without pay. They were authorized
to employ expert assistance and an
appropriation of $4,000, was
made for the work. Every school
and educational institution in the
state was to be surveyed and a re-
port was to have been made to the
next General Assembly on the edu-
cational needs of the State.
Mr.. Beiser, the sponsor of the
municipal exemption bill, explained
that the measure was really local in
it's application, as it was aimed to
relieve the municipal tee plant at
Sumter. -.
This morning an amendment to
the bill exempting f~raternal orga-
nizations having the grand lodge
system and not being supported by
insurance features were rejected.
Some Of the members said that the
Masonic orders Of the Stale object
ed to the amendment. Mr. Sapp Of
Richland, said that the Masons at
Columbia wanted the bill SC that
their temple at Columbia could be
relieved Of taxes. .

tempts at Settlement
Providence, R. l., March 9.-The
state board of mediation and concili-
alton today abandoned attempts at
settlement of the strike differences
and adjourned indefinitely. A state
ment issued this afternoon by Labor
Commissioner George H. Webb, fol-
lowing a lengthy session of the board,
announced that the body consider
ed it useless to make further attempts
to persuade either side to submit to
arbitration"
A little more than a week ago the
board gave up attempts to settle the
strike when textile manufacturers
and operatives refused to submit
their differences to arbitration. On
Saturday the board met again in
what was announced as a final effort
at mediation. A plan was drawn up
providing for a 10 per cent. wage
reduction instead of the 20 per cent.
asked by mill owners, and for reten-
ton of the 48 hour working week in
the mills, instead of the 50 hour
week, proposed by the manufacturers.
The statement issued by the board
today was taken as indicating that
these terms were not acceptable to
one or both Of the interested par
ties. I .
