Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1922-05-25

Ten contractors had represen-
tatives in Rockingham Tuesday
to file bids for the street paving
program that the town commiss.
ioners recently issued 100000 in
bonds for. The various bids
were carefully checked by War.
rem H. Brooks, the efficient en-
gineer whom the town has em.
ployed for the work, and the
commissioners, with the result
that the firm of Hedrick Con.
struction Co., of Lexington, were
found to be the lowest bidders,
The contract was let to them,
with work to begin not later than
June 10th, and to be completed
within $50 working days.
The contract price is $2.45 per
square yard, and the streets are
to be of sheet asphalt; this is
cheaper and just as good as btu.
lithic, the material that the pres.
ent streets of the business part
of town are made of. The prop.
erty owners pay for IA the street
work touching their property,
and all of the sidewalk, curb and
gutter.
The streets for which petitions
have been received are Franklin
North and South Washington
Everett and Bungalow. No doubt
other streets will file petitions
$4,000 is the estimated cost o1
the work at present in sight.

Subway to Aid Revival
Of l4th Street Shopping

Restoration of the Fourteenth
Street shopping district to it's earlier
popularity meets with the approval of
Borough President Julius Miller and
Transit Commissioner LIE Roy Hark-
ness, they said yesterday in letters
to the Central Mercantile Association.
Mr.. Miller commended the efforts to
restore the street TO it's former posi-
tion in the mercantile trade and said
that as soon as the Fourteenth Street
eastern district rapid transit line is
completed, the facilities to reach this
section of the city will be better than
to any other section of the city. He
added that the zoning law will, in all
probability, prevent repetition of the
gradual movement uptown of the retail
dry goods business.
Commissioner Harkness in his letter
said the Fourteenth Street subway
should work q great change in that
section and that direct short-haul
line" will bring the population Of
Brooklyn to this section.

Of Materials
Await Shipment
Tie-Up May Cause Manufac-
turing Plants TO Close if
Building Supplies Pile
Up; Storage Space Scarce

Building material and Investment in
tevests speculated at the week end
upon the effect an inter.union iuris-
dictional strike might have upon the
New Ycrk building construction aitua-
tion, says the current Dow Service
Daily Building Reports.
Investors were not inclined to view
the outlook with much sympathy for
the workers. They recalled their ex-
perience of the last summer, when all
the gain they made in the lower cost
OF building materials was Immediately
paid back into the operation in the form
Of wage bonuses over the accepted
scale. They expressed impatience over
the fact that their jobs that had been
delayed upon the verge Of completion
by reason of delivery of materials
through car shortages and embargoes
would stand chance of being indef-
nitely delayed with tenants waiting to
move in,
Building material distributors, while
discounting literally any serious pros
poets of complete tie-up of construc-
tlon work, hence entire cessation of
building material demand, were look
ing ahead q month or two to the time
when the pressure upon railroad trans
portation facilities would be less acute
and the backed-up orders for building
materials begin to flow in.
About $275,000,000 worth Of building
material, equipment and appliances
under contract for delivery TO current
building Jobs await execution. II this
material cannot be shipped fast enough
because of embargoes and an inter
union strike prevents the assemblage
Of that which can squeeze through by
water and rail. the plants must close
for lack or room TO store the stuff
pending shipment.
The report of the National Lumber
Manufacturers Association for Novem-
ber II illustrates the situation as it
now exists. The production for the
week ended November II was 229,153,-
S06 feet, orders we're 205,315,0O6 feet,
while the shipments were only 199,~
405,351 feet. 1t is asked if orders, de-
ferred by reason Of widespread labor
disturbances, are curtailed and ship
ments on back orders are forced back
upon producers, how long will it be
before production slows down and ulti-

Prices remain as tho CHIEF point OK
tnserest in all markets. In the textile
end allied industries The resistance 20
price advances has become more
marked as quotations have gone higher.
Distributors in general have taken the
attitude that higher prices are certain
to curtail consumption and that it is
better to wait until conditions are a
bic more settled before committing
themselves to any large amounts of
merchandise for future delivery. Bank
pressure also has been exerted on mer~
chants % finish the calendar gear with
Ss small stocks as possible so as to
bring down inventories for the annual
balance sheets. This development is
stronger than many realize, particu-
larry in she agricultural districts
snlong the smaller retailers.
On the other hand, unemployment is
practically non-existent, and many
traders figure that the general public
IS better able to pay high prices now
than it was 20 pay the lower prices a
year ago.
One of the outstanding features of
current retailing Is that the higher
priced goods appear TO be moving bet
NSi Su1u IliS AuNSk pt1SeO SoUub al
proportion. In other words, the wealthy
elases are spending moro freely than
the middle and lower classes, the as
sumption being that although the lat
ter two are earning money they have
{. considerable volume of back debts to
pay before they can again buy freely.
Holiday trade in the retail shops is
shaping up we'll, with many merchants
reporting that so far it has exceeded
-. -. A
of caution is still apparent in the pub
lies purchasing in general, Offset TO
eonae extent by better demand for
Jewelry and other expensive and luxury
merchandise than was seen last year
or in 1920.

Silks

Silks were rather more quiet last
week, partly seasonal development
and partly due to the price situation in
raw silk. The Yokohama raw silk mar
ket was slightly softer. although no
vide price breaks were reported. Local
prices showed q sympathetic feeling,
nut dealers and importers were fairly
Arm in their asking prices, and conces-
aions when made were quickly snapped
up. it was reported. The silk manu-
2acturers here are pursuing hand-to-
mouth policy in buying, and undoubt-
ediy will continVe to do so, with raw
ailk around $3.50 a pound, compared
With a pre-war level OF less than 81 q
pound.
Printed erepes are still fairly active
IN the spring. Silks and velvets con
Tihue strong in selling for immediate
use.

Costons

The cotton goods market presented a
generally quiet appearance last week.
Prices for the most part remained firm,
although on a couple Of the setbacks in
raw cotton the secondhand holders of
gray or unfinished goods offered them
below the prevailing market prices.
Mills, however, held firm to their old
quotations. Some additional price ad-
vances were made last week, bringing
che goods advanced more in line with
the general market. Some important
lines are out Of the market at present,
awaiting price revision. Jobbers. it is
estimated, are selling cotton goods at
approximately 20 per cent below the
price levels recently established in pri-
nary market channels.

Shoe Trade Sluggish
Higher Grades Moving Better
Than Lower

Price reductions in shoes at retail
fail to attract any large number of
buyers, it is reported by retail mer-
chants here. One of the marked fea-
lures of the current shoe retail busi-
ness is the good demand for high grade
medium and lower priced grades. This
does not mean that moro high grade
shoes are moving than usual, but
merely that the medium and lower
priced grades are not moving as we'll
as they should, in the opinion of re-
tailers. One shoe merchant attributes
the present situation to more liberal
feeling on the part of the wealthier
classes, and an inability to buy ON the
part of the middle and lower classes.
"The latter two,' he said, while we'll
employed, still have back debts to pay,
and until they catch up they will not
be active buyers"
New-York tribune., 1922-11-27
.Jewels.y

Wholesale jewelry demand for most
lines was less insistent last week than
it has been in the last month. Retail
ers for the most part have completed
their stocks. Christmas sales are just
opening and retailers generally have
not yet had occasion to replace recent
purchases. Jobbers expect repeat or
ders from retailers about December 1.
Among the popular-priced articles
fancy bracelets, earrings, rings, neck
chains and girdles seem to be most in
demand. Jobbers called attention to
the fact that most of the best selling
novelties this year have been named
after we'll known novels and motion
pictures. Jobbers reported poor col
lections from retailers.
New-York tribune., 1922-11-27
Furs

Little change was shown in the fur
trade last week. Manufacturers and
wholesalers feel that the season is
about over and results have not been
entirely satisfactory. Raw fur prices
are showing some softening tendency,
OUT lower prices can scarcely be passed
on into finished garments in the near
future. Some made up stocks of fur
garments are being offered at conces.
stons by manufacturers, but in the
main prices are showing less of a drop
shan they usually do at the end Of the
season.
furs are moving only fairly we'll AT
retail. The popularity of the short fur
Jacket this year has mitigated against
any vide distribution of wraps, it is
$40. also there has been large in-
crease in remedelling work, which has
affected the sale cf new garments to
some extent.

Manufacturers ViewWool
Situation as Favorable
Mills Generally Well Covered
for Rest of Lightweight
Season
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

BOSTON, Nov. 25.-While the Boston
wool trade notes daily the increasing
depletion Of the stocks of domestic
wool the manufacturers view the sit
uation from their standpoint as partic-
ularly favorable. For the rest of the
lightweight season the mills are we'll
covered, generally speaking, according
to the reports of those in the trade
who are in a position to know. Manu-
facturers are looking forward to par
ticularly good heavyweight season, and
some are understood to have covered
to certain extent in anticipation.
The demand fer plaidback overcoat-
ings is expected to be keen, and these
garments will probably be in greater
demand for the next season than they
were in the last heavyweight season.
A worsted yarn man, in discussing the
situation, said that from the wool men
I'D the trade is optimistic, especially
for the first six months of 1923. The
mills are fairly well occupied, and it is
now question of turning out orders
booked rather than that of soliciting
new business.
