NEW YORK, July 16.--New bond
offerings last week totaled only S21,
$4,000. the lowest weekly total OF the

ening in new offerings.
Bond dealers report also that in
vestors are holding out for higher
coupon rate on municipal issues, with
the slightly sitter time money rates,
and that states and municipalities
contemplating new financing are
hesitant over increasing the coupon

DECLARES PUBLIC WILL
FIGHT HIGHER PRICES

Special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 16.-Men's clothing
is going to be generally higher. That
was q consensus Of opinion by manu-
facturers from the midwest to this
city today. There will be some makers
who will not raise their prices above
the spring level. but they will be in
the minority. Higher prices for cloth
and wages are held responsible for
this trend.
William Scher of the Scher-Hirst
Company of Cleveland, makers of
suits and .overcoats, said his firm
would be- able to stick to old prices
because it had cut overhead and pur-
chased woolens advantageously.
Higher prices are well fed"
he stated. 'fn view of the higher cost
of materials, but every one realizes
the public will not stand for too much
of an advance. We are geared to
certain production and must hold to
that schedule. If we raised prices We
would face the natural result, which
is a tendency toward reduced buying
volume"
