CALL FOR FALL SHIRTS.

Retailers had been displaying no
great eagerness in placing advance
orders for fall shirts. but recently a
considerable number of kilograms
have been received at New York
houses requesting Immediate ship
ment of merchandise. This partic-
ularly aplies to the higher class
goods In explanation of this it is
said that retailers have had a some
what better summer shirt business
than they anticipated. They are also
said to have underestimated their fall
requirements, with the result that
they are finding need for merchandise
sooner than they thought would be
the case. In the cheaper grades there
has been a slight quickening in the
demand. Spring lines are being pre-
pared and will be shown to- the trade
probably beginning September Is.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star
NEW YORK, August IL This
weeks events have witnessed the
truth of the old adage that strikes
are no argument on which to sell Sc
curities. We never have had In re-
cent years a nationwide railway tie
up such as has been threatened by the
policy of the four big brotherhoods IN
connection with the shopmen's walk
out But we have had vast stoppage
of the country's productive FORCES
through strikes in the steel, coal ana
textile Industries. and yet In no IN.
stance has there been record Oh
these disturbances causing serious
liquidation in Wall street.
The truth is that usually LABOR
struggles of such magnitude do not
last long enough to occasion 1mpor-
tant loss even in the industries most
directly concerned. Such losses as 40
occur are so purely temporary mat
ter that they cannot affect lonE-range
calculations of security values. The
threat of a general paralysis Of trans
portation facilities is on It's race eS-
tremely alarming. but 1t is unthlnk-
able that should such crisis occur IL
could possibly last long enough TO 90
any vital injury. The whole power or
tie government, realizing that the
life of the nation was at stake, would
be brought into play to keep the rail-
roads running.

Instead of worrying about the iapoI
troubles and their effect, the business
of the country would have more

NEW CORSET STYLES.

Quite bit more boning distinguishes
new corsets for autumn, according to
ma iiaiiulacturers, but the new garments
are none the less soft and flexible and
are modelled on graceful lines Low top
nlodeIs continue in favor, and what
bones are used are placed so as TO give
graceful support with very little re-
straint; There is growing feeling that
eIasic must be combined with boned
sections of fabrics to get the best re-
SUITS. and this has led to many lines of
iaceiess corsets and girdles Members
OF the trade are optimistic regarding
next seasons business and say they be-
ieve corsets will be more popular, judg-
ing by the early fall suits and dresses,
than they have been for the last few

a situation Of this sort that ac-
counts for the remarkable strength
in these two groups of securities all
through the recent market.
Foreign Situation Depressing.
Uncertainty with regard to the con-
ference of premiers at London, wheth-
er 1t would be any more successful
than it's predecessors at Genoa ana
The Hague in settling German repa-
rations and the problem of the In
terallied debts, had depressing ei-
feet during the greater part OF the
week upon the foreign exchanges
Saerman marks went to new rec
ord low and the French. Belgian and
Italian currencies all got down close
to the years bottom.
Sterling was an interesting excep-
tion, but an exception readily enough
intelligible. British finances DO not
like those of the rest of western Eu
rope. need German indemnity money
to bolster them up.
British Finances.
The latest figures on government
income and outgo are most str striking; taasi
revenue of the British exchequer
reached f71,0OO, 900, as against. f41.-
100000 expended, making net re-
ceipts of over f29.000.000. This re
suit, brought in face of last April
III
measure of Great Britain's returning
trade prosperity.
1t makes clear the willingness of
the London government TO take up
the question of the American war
debt and start sending gold over here
ample light upon the strength IN
sterling exchange through the crisis
of continental Europe. and at the
season of the year, too, when oner-
ings of commercial bills against Eu-
ropean purchases of our new grain
and cotton crops are usually near
their maximum.
Bumper Crops Will Help.
The prospect of bumper crops OF
wheat and corn held out by the gov
ernments August figures has had
favorable effect upon business sentt-
ment 1t seems to mean that the farm
ers, out Of debt for the first time IN
two years, will have their normal buy
ing power. the loss of which was one
of the main causes OF the INDUSTRIAL
slump of 1920-21.
Against this it has to be remembered
| that this is q. year of active competi-
tion in many lines and where THIS COM
petition IS severe there is no alterna-
tive except combinations to cut down
overhead or running along at very
small profits.
The independent steel companies
choosing between these two courses
have sought a way out by putting
| through mergers. The rubber and tire
companies are in much the same posi-
| ton and it will be interesting to see
whether they will attempt to solve the
problem the same way. The oil COM
panies also have a difficulty on their

ly excessive supply before they will be
| in a position to take part in further In

TOY BUYING STARTS.

While it is still early for holiday
purchases in quantity, toy makers
say recent orders have been very
good. Some. who have booths at the
Grand Central Palace in New York
say the advance buying at the fair
there has been noteworthy. Orders
from now on are expected to show a
large gain in volume. as the real
period of purchasing. will set in with
in the next month. The fact that de-
liveries of foreign toys have been
held up. due to many causes, mas
played no small part in the recent
stimulation of business for the do
mestic manufacturers. There still re-
mains a great deal of price competition,
however, which has unsettled the trade.

NO REASON FOR PEsSIMIsM

Although the better business which
lewelry makers had expected this fall
mas as yet not materialized to any ex-
tent, there is a marked absence of pes
slmism in the trade. This is based on
the knowledge that retail stocks
throughout the country are consider
ably below normal. and belief that end
ing of coal and rail strikes will restore
confidence that will help bring better
business. According to a well posted
trader, wages lost as a result of strikes
have been a factor in holding back bus
mess. While the strikers themselves
may not be heavy buyers of jewelry, il
is pointed out, the money that they
would have spent for other than bare
necessaries had they been working
would have passed into general circula
ton. AS il is, this money is a kind of
frozen capital, and jewelry purchases
that might have been made with it have
not taken place. With this barrier re-
moved by settlement of the strikes,
however. contention is advanced that
better business is certain.

FLOWERS FOR FALL TRIM.

Among flowers that will be seen

morning glories are shown profusely

most attractive materials from which
they are made Is firm silk. shaded
in the natural hues, with film COW
ering in the iridescent tints of moth

effective when placed on black hat.
other blooms for fall include Scotch
thistle blossoms, with their tassel
