Palace Review


 There are laughs as well as tears in "Forget-Me-Not," the feature pre- ture now playing at the Palace thea tre, and in which appear Gareth Hughes and Bessie Love- It is an ar- fecting story, spIendidly screened and kept at all times within the bounds of probabil You can not afford to miss it.
 As an added attraction, Frank Mayo q big cast are seen in Western thriller, Caught Blutfing,' which is directed by Lambert Hillyer, the man who directed Bill Hart in his former successes.
 The Palace also presents q feature extra ordinary in the engagement or Harrison Brockbank, an English character singer in a repertoire of Cockney songs. MT. Brockbank was formerly baritone of the Last Waltz Company, which appeared recently at the Century theatre in New York.
 The marvellous development of mo ton pictures is shown by Pictures Of the Past and. Present. which con- traSts the inauguration of President Harding with that of President Me Kinley.
 Manager Warde Johnston has pro- vided a fine prologue to "Forget-Me- Not introducing the scene from the recital cf the Music Master" and in this number appear Wilma Fekete, Bridgeport violinist. and Frank I4e Forge, pianist.

Channel Islanders
 Wrathy; Object to
 Plans of New Lord

London, Nov. 6.-Inhabitants of two tiny Channel Islands-Hern, area 320 acres, and Jethou, area A acres are up in arms against the conduct of their new Iaird-Compton Mac kenzie, famous novelist.
 They have been believing that he intends to close the islands to their ordinary summer visitors and fn- stead erect casino for his own fTiends.a
 Mackenzie says they are laboring under false impressions.
 ''I have leased the islands from the Crown he says. Under the lease visitors have a 'Drivilege'-not a 'right'-to land in Herm and Jethou on two days a week, paying toll of 12 cents each. of which the Crown receives four cents and I the other eight. It would be neither to my interest nor to that of the 800 inhab- itants to keep out visitors.
 Tt is untrue that I intend to con- vert the islands into a casino. What I am doing is converting the little Mermaid Tavern into the Mermaid Inn, where a dozen paying guests can enjoy the air, shooting, fishing and in the future a game of solf.
 What I am aiming at is the es- tablishment Of a little country club on American lines. I only want the islanders to rely on my personal good wiIl.''
 The inhabitants of the little Channel Islands still regard themselves as in- dependent of Great Britain. They still have their own governors. laws and curious language.

FIND CYNTHIA!v
Spirited Comedy.

Spirited Comedy.
 A Spirited comedy is the only de- scription that Kilburn Gordon, Inc, vouchafes of Find Cynthiar the new play to be given by that firm at the Park theatre, commencing Thursday, Nov. g. matinee Saturday-just prior to the New York engagement The Gordon fir,n wastes few words in de- scribing it's attractions in advance. Nearly year ago it offered New York new play" entitled "The Cat and the Canary" Only that and nothing more. The day after the premier of the "new play" all New York knew that 'rThe Cat and the Canary" was a riot as a mystery play. It is still tha leading success in New York, and now the firm announces it's next ven ture with the same modesty waiting for the public to supply the rest of the adjeetives.
 "F1nd Cynthia!" is in four acts and five scenes which are laid in the Far West Stuart Benson, formerly edi- tor of Golfers, is the author and it is doubly interesting to note that af- CT writing and destroying four com plete plays and then submitting the fifth, it was accepted immediately in preference to the thousands of scripts by authors of experience because, like
 the successful "Cat and the Canary.

Illinois Trade Better
Employment Shows Steady
Gains

CHICAGO, Oct. 21.-Outstandng
changes In the industrial situation in
Illinois from August Is to September
Is were the general expansion in in
dustrial operations, following the set
tlement of the rail strikes and the
resumption Of the flow of fuel from the
coal fields; increases in the wage rates
in almost every industrial group, and
reduction in involuntary unemploy-
ment as shown in tie reports of the
free employment offices Of the state.
Signed reports from 1857 employers
of the state show that general in
crease in the volume Of employment
in Illinois industries took place last
month. These employers reported that
they had 3o4,3S7 workers on their pay
rolls in September, as compared with
299,36s in August, an increase Of 1.6
per cent. These figures include not
alone manufactures, but public utili-
ties and buildi contractors as we'll
The manufacturing industries alone
show an expansion of 10 per cent in
employment over the preceding month.
Four thousand two hundred and thir-
teen more workers thus found employ
ment in the manufacturing industries
of the state than were at work in
August.

Retailers Sending
In Large Orders
Ligh; Buying Earlier in Season
Makes RepIenishment
Necessary

Resident buying Offices here are busy
placing orders that are being sent in
by their clients. Few buyers for retail
stores have been in the market during
the last week, but the number of or
ders sent in for the resident buyers to
fill have increased greatly. The or
ders, according to one resident buyer,
cover practically the entire merchan-
disc field, but are particularly strong
on winter apparel, blankets and other
seasonable merchandise.
"Most retailers" he said, "placed
light orders for these goods when they
were in the market a couple of months
ago. The uncertainty caused by the
rail and coal strikes at that time pre-
vented definite estimate concerning
the probable purchasing power of the
consumer. With these out of the way
and early fall business demonstrating
consumer capacity for buying goods
in larger quantities, stocks need re-
plenishing.
"The retailers are complaining of
higher prices, but the low condition Of
their reserve stocks makes purchasing
necessary. in spite Of their natural in
clination to go easy in the face Of
price advances

In view Of its remarkable earnings

merit rating among Issues Of their
kind. As shown in the dividend

ability that tha company may fall just
a little short OF earning it's full d.
vidend requirements this year. The
reason, of course, Is the loss of traffic
due TO the coal strike.
But even If this possibility should

Recommend Budget Cnt


The Finance Commission of the
Chamber of Deputies has recommended
a reduction of 269,546,7G francs in
expenditure proposed in the French
budget for 1923, according to the Bank
crs Trust Company.
"The reduction" the bank said,
brings the total proposed expendi-
ture down to 22,927 1928, ,174 francs.
The original estimate of expenditure
submitted for 1929 by the French Min
ister Of Finance was 23,197, ,A74 ,943
francs.
AS now proposed the 1923 budget
expenditure is 1.7T4 100000 francs be-
low the amount of estimated expendi
ture in 1929. The Bankers Trust
Company OF New York is advised by
its French information service that
tho budget for next year still shows a
deficit of 3,711,000,oo0 francs. That
sum is about equal to the interest and
amortization charges on the loans
made by. the French government on
Germany's account for reconstruction
and renarations"

Silks

The sharp drop in raw silk prices
early in the week, drop averaging
25 cents pound, was followed by /,
recovery lator, when American buying
in the Japanese market, which sets the
price, became more active. The wide
price swings brought about renewed
complaint among American silk manu-
facturers concerning the speculative
activity in the worlds principal raw
silk market in Yokohama
silk goods prices continue TO
strengthen, and the volume of trade
apparently is showing a steady in
crease. New fabrics are being brought
out for the spring trade and interest
in them on the part of the buyers is
more keen than il was a year ago.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-23
Noolens

Further price advances in woolens.
which as YET have not shown the in
creases that have been announced on
worsted goods, are expected soon. This
applies particularly to fabrics for next
spring. Spring showings of women's
wear goods are being made, with prices
on higher level than those prevail
ing for fall goods, One of the impor-
tant producers made price advances
last week averaging apou. 10 per cent.
Recorders for spriag worstods for
mems wear are beginning to come into
the market, and the spring outlook is
decidedly better than at any time since
goods were first offered.
New-York tribune., 1922-10-23
Cotsols

Steady gains in the volume OF trad
ing and advances in prices featured
the cotton goods market. Gray OF ua-
finished goods were more active tha'.
for some time past and buyers wers
operating further into the futura.
Many sales We're reported coverirg G
delivery as late as next March. Prices
lifted from an eighth to a quarter OF
q cent yard on most constructions.
Demand for finished goods also was
broader. The range of goods in de-
mand was considerably larger than has
been the case recently and orders came
in freely from practically all sections
Of the country. Several descriptions
of goods, such as wide sheetings,
chambrays, etc, were advanced in
price, while some sheetings, nannels
and bleaehed goods were placed at
value preparatory to the announce
ment of higher prices.

New-York tribune., 1922-10-23

Raw wool and raw cotton, the two
important raw materials of the great
textile trade, closed the week at higher
prices. Raw silk declined sharply
early in the week, but later rcgained
good portion of the loss. The areta-
tions for all of these tioers now stand
at the high point of the year. and in
all eases are considerably above the
prices quoted at any time during 1927
The fact that all three of them are
still showing an advancing tendency is
tAkan to indicate that the end OF price
advances in fabrics has not been
reached.
As yet tho price advances have not
extended much beyond the primary
markets. Wholesale distributors are
still adhering to their old prices IN
most cases, and there has been no dis
position among retailers to mark up
their prices in conformity with the
higher primary market quotations. II
is almost certain, however. that the
price advances will be felt by the con-
sumec early next year, and there is
great 8 eeuiation concerning the atti-
tude the buying public will take when
confronted with these higher prices.
The week Just passed was replete
with evidence of better business in
nearly all lines. Retail trade ia
progressing satisfactorily after some
delay due to unfavorablc weather, and
merchants have been compelled to re-
enter the wholesale markets for addi-
tional supplies of seasonahle merchan-
disc. The wholesale markets also
showed more activity, and manufactur-
ing operations were reported to be eX-
panding except in some OF the garment
trades where the end OF seasonable
production is almost III sight,
