One New York firm has had particu-

season, vOile so sheer and silky as to
closely ally it with geOrgette. Bright

Another little tailored ,inen frock,
featured straight front and back

side, holding the dress in trif1e and
giving slight side flare below the
waistline. Plain, heavy linen In a
dull blue was used for the frock, with

the slight opening was at the back

Brown chambray fashioned another

The pockets were criss-crossed all
over, while a mere line Of embroidery
finished collar and cuffs.

Salvation Amy Hats In Paris.

Paris has adopted the Salvation
Army hat for its newest mode in
chapeaux. Wide at the sides and mar
row at the back, 1t Is style which a
surprising number of different types
find extremely becoming. OF course,
in making the Salvation lassie's hat

flattened considerably. but the general

HAS TROUBLES GALORE.

There seems to be no end to the
troubles of the retail credit man. One
was recently made the victim of a
man who asked him to reopen an in
active account. Investigation show
ed that it was apparently safe to do
so. 1t was done, and the man bought
a. quantity of merchandise. Shortly
afterward he went into bankruptcy,
and now offers settlement at Is cents
on the dollar. In another case a Gus
toner has informed a credit man that
he will have to sue for collection of
a bill covering several pairs of silk
stockings. These had been returned
to the store for credit by his wife
after they had been worn and dam
aged. and credit, naturally, was re-
fused. In another instance a Gus
toner insists on taking a discount for
prompt payment, when no discounts
of any kind are given by the store.

BIG PETTICOAT TRADE.

Manufacturers Of petticoats face
the autumn season with increased
confidence. The longer and wider
skirt and suit. they believe, is a har-
binger of an active demand for petit
coats. Manufacturers have their rep
resentatives on the road and the in
itial results have tended to strength
en- belief that business will show a
marked improvement in the fall sea-
son. Retailers stocks are small and
the merchants apparently have begun
to replenish them more literally
than formerly. Despite higher costs,
which manufacturers have been con-
fronted with in the cotton and silk
goods markets. prices of petticoats
show little change from those pre-
vailing last year. Petticoat values
will not begin to reflect these higher
costs until manufacturers stocks.
bought at lower prices, have been
depleted, 1t Is said.

SHOE BUSINESS GAINING.

Reports from retail handlers of
mems fine shoes in various parts of
the country. and particularly in New
York. indicate a very noticeable i'm
provement in the sale of this mer-
chandise in the last few weeks. The
buyer for one of the best known stores
in the metropolitan district reports that
from July 1 10 date his sales had ex-
ceeded every day those Of the same
period last year. A prominent manufac-
turer of this class of shoes also report
ed that during the period from April 1
to date more business from retailers
had been booked by several thousand
pairs than during the preceding six
months. An easing up in financial
pressure is regarded as one of the
reasons for 1t; many men are now
feeling free to purchase the class
of goods they were accustomed to
buy before the pinch came.

CHICAGO, August 9.-The most
stimulating factor of the moment on
business in the middle west is the
governments crop report, forecasting
bumper production.
Locally. the settlement Of the trac-
ton strike after suspension OF hVe
days last week has helped retail trade
in the downtown district, but the pub
lies buying power generally is feeling
the effects of this disturbance and
the damage to industry wrought by
the prolonged coal and rail strike.
Mail order houses are making up for
lean spring. with fat summer due
to the prosperity of the middle west
farmers. On the whole, thought, trade
will remain unsettled so long as the
fuel shortage threatens. '....
Railroad trunk lines operating out
of Chicago, have announced that serv-
ice may have to be curtailed unless
the coal situation improves within
week. The Chicago and Alton will
take off eight trains Thursday. but
these are mostly small town feeders.
Steel mill operations in this district
have suffered further curtailment. due
to the fuel shortage and also because
of strike of nearly 1000 employees
of the Inland Steel and Calumet Steel
at Chicago Heights. The men ask a
20 per cent increase. Common labor.
now paid 80 cents an hour. contends
this is not living wage. The leading
steel company has banked two addi-
tfona1 furnaces, South Chicago and
Gary. but continues IS per cent pro-
duction. while the leading independ-
ent Is working IS per cent. Inquiries
are heavy. but little tonnage is being
booked. Scrap iron and steel are

Declare :Public Utilities
Function Despite Strike
BY FRANK d. McLAIN
Special Disps tch to The Star.

Special Dispa tch to The Star.
PHILADELPHIA, August 9.-Super-
ficial observation in Philadelphia
would give no indication of a coal or
railroad strike, as apparently every
thing is moving normally. All public
utilities are functioning. the water
supply is not curtailed. factories are
operating and there is the usual busi-
ness activity. Freight and passengers
on the steam and electric roads are
moved promptly. But some factories
find that the drain of nineteen weeks
has nearly exhausted their fuel sup
plies. Fortunately, Philadelphia is
situated at tidewater and can replen-
ish her coal piles from foreign sources.
\ number of manufacturers, however.
are arranging to use either petroleum
or electricity as motive power If the
strike continues.
While many small dwellings are
being built. the construction of sew
eral large apartment houses tends to
rob Philadelphia of her fame as a
city of homes. Single dwellings are
still in strong demand, with rents and
prices well maintained.
Manufacturers of glazed kid look
for an improvement in foreign de-
mand accompanying the vogue of
longer skirts abroad. as high shoes.
requiring more kid. are worn with
the longer skirts. The domestic mar
ket has not yet felt this urge. For
fall wear manufacturers still are fea-
turing oXfords in which the use of
patent leather largely predominates.

LEATHER GOING HIGHER,

Prices in the leather market are
moving higher in sympathy with the
rising hide market. Slight advances
in upper leather already have taken
place, according to a leading tanner.
He: reports that several descriptions
of : sole leather, notably union and
OAK backs, have been advanced in
price from to cents a pound by
large tanning interests. The con-
sistent strength Of the leather mar
ket has been the occasion of an in
creased demand for leather from shoe
manufacturers. The footwear trade,
according to shoe leather dealer,
has begun to place orders to cover
it's probable requirements over a
longer period of time. perhaps in
anticipation of further advances in
leather prices. Shoe statesmen are
said to be turning in a favora BILE
volume of orders. Manufacturers
stocks of leather are small.

Say Trade Is Keeping Up
Remarkably Well in South
BY 1. V. SHANNON
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS. August Sum
mer trade among both retailers and
wholesalers IS keeping up remark
ably well and to date is beyond ex-
pectations. Retailers say their busi-
ness is on par with last year, while
the actual turnover is larger. Every
jobbing and manufacturing line re-
ports a substantial increase. Large
orders from Central American coun-
tries which have been out Of the
market for some time were received
early this week. Collections are i'm
proving.
The general view is that the strike
has interfered little with merchan-
disc shipments from this city, al
though a few passenger trains have
been taken off and mail and pas
senger traffic is more or less delayed.
Building permits for July were more
than double. The south is at loss
to understand the decline of $14
a bale in cotton since the govern
ment's estimate. Growers contend
the outlook for the crop has decreas-
ed materially since then and there
has not been sufficient change in
other conditions to account for 1t.
business has not been affected by
the decline because of the belief that
it is temporary.

By Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 9.-Trading
on the curb exchange was fairly ac-
tive today with the usual irregulari-
ties in the movement of prices as
between various groups of stocks.
Standard Oil of Indiana held its
place of leadership among the oil
shares. opening up slightly and then
reacting. In the afternoon fresh
buying came into the stock and
brought about a substantial advance.
Vacuum Oil was also strong. but, on the
other hand, Standard Oil of New York
and Imperial Oil Of Canada went
lower and International Petroleum
was freely supplied at somewhat
lower prices.
Action In Cities Service.
The decline in Cities Service issues
continued and there was profit TAX
ing in the independent oils, such as
Ryan Consolidated and New England
Fuel Oil.
1t was reported that new well had
been brought in on the property of
the Columbia Petroleum, a subsidiary
of Southern States Oil, in the Tex
homa field in Texas This well has
an initial flow of 100 barrels a day,
and it was also said that the com
pany Is drilling other wells in the
same vicinity.
More Oil Wells.
1t was announced that the Mexican
Eagle Oil Company's No well, San
Geronimo field in Mexico, had been
completed. Mutual Oil, Carib Syndi-
cate and Merritt Oil held steady.
In the miscellaneous section The re-
cent selling, of the rubber issues ap-
peared to have been checked except
in the case of Goodyear common. The
stock made new low for the year
at S&.
Radio issues held firm. Goldwyn

common and preferred and New York
Telephone preferred were all active
around their closing prices OF Tues
day.
Motors Firmer.
In the motor group the main inter-
est lay in Moon Motors and Stutz,
both of which were well supported.
It became known that the Guaranty
trust Company, which last week took
over 10000 shares of the Allen A.
Ryan holdings in Stutz, has received
two offers for the entire amount. one
offer from a large automobile manu-

NEW YORK, August 9.-There was
more irregularity in today's bond
market than on recent days. The ten
dency Of prices was much mixed and
trading for the most part was COM
paratively quiet. Liberty bonds were
higher in some instances, especially
the fourth ANS. On the other hand,
French TVS showed the effect of the
weakness of French exchange by
dropping off half point and the
Prague TVS at san were down near
ly point and a half from Tuesday.
Rio de Janefro S. Lose.
No explanation appeared for the
weakness in Rio de Janeiro issues;
the IS Of 1947 lost point and the
decline in these and several foreign
government loans was offset by the
strength in others. Norway Ss cot up

New highs were reached In the
Pennsylvania general IS, which at

also in Pennsylvania SIS. The Erie

Grande Western IS, at So. were up
more than point. The advance in
Chicago and Alton 3hs continued,
these bonds reaching So, and there
was a demand at higher prices for
the Big Four AIS and the Missouri
Pacific general IS. The latter sold
at 101, as against, 100H at the Tues
day close.
Reactionary Trend.
. On the other hand, Atchison gen.
eral As, which were dealt in the pre-
vious day as high as 93h, sold down
to 92Z, and Seaboard Airline issues,
which had been the leaders in the
market, felt the effect of profit-tak-
ing sales. Among the industrials
Kelly Springfield IS and Goodyear IS

recent decline in tire prices and the
less profitable conditions In the tire
