While the theory that the infor-

buys from five to three Is an inter-
esting one, 1t does not entirely meet
the facts. The idea was advanced by

this is that the back of the coat and
the trousers seat are constantly rub

Some of the women's garment

the customer motored a good deal

The Du Pont company through its
subsidiaries owns 100000 shares of
General Motors common. a good part
Of this representing what was taken

Of 1920. The Du Pont company put

When General Motors suspended

JUGOSLAvIA TOBACCO.
Farmers Find Good Results in
Weed introduced by Turks.

Tobacco growing as one phase OF
the agricultural development of Jugo-
slavia-or the kingdom OF the Serbs.
Croats and Slovenes, as that country
prefers to be known-is receiving
the close attention Of the ministry
Of agriculture, and the acreage is be-
ing increased. says an official report.
This particular item in farming is
centered chiefly in the province for
merly Macedonia and Is one of the
few inheritances from long Turkish
rule which have been Of benefit to
the country.
The product, according to Ameri-
visory staff which surveyed the vast
resources of the country following
the formation Of the kingdom, Is q
Turkish tobacco, which equals in
quality that Of the Ottoman empire.
It was derived from the same source.
and during Turkish occupation of
that part Of Macedonia which il now
with it's growth.
AS yet. partly due to the fact that
the government maintains a monop-
oily on the annual production of about
10000 tons. the entry of Jugoslav to-
bacco into the world market has not
been carried out to any extent. De-
spite this, Americans who have spent
some time in the country have the
highest praise Tor the manufactured
products.
Nine factories. using an average of
1000 tons each. annually, are engaged
in the manufacture Of cigarettes
cigars and cut tobacco and as a side
tine for agricultural purposes each
year. Two of these factories have
been established within the last two
years.

CLEVELAND, July 3.-Orders to
manufacturers OF women's garments
for summer apparel have practically
stopped. except for recorders. which
can be filed from stock. Statesmen
on the road with fall lines report
buying fairly good. Factories in this
second largest garment center of the
country are operating at from SO to
80 per cent capacity. The warm
weather has stimulated business In
wash dresses and summer garments.
The effect of the rising market in
both wool and cotton piece goods SO
far has been to stimulate sales. Fall
lines are in general slightly cheaper
than last year at this time. The de-
mand is for medium priced garments.
Fur-trimmed garments are preferred
in the buying for fall. bolivias and
the soft fabrics made in dressy styles
with fancy backs and embroideries
sharing the demand with the tailored
sports coats. Collections are reported
as fair.
