nucleus" of mills has signed to support

the Weavers' Committee announced.
He added that a series or group Of meet
ings will be held to elect chairman Tor
each group, who in turn will form the
board of directors of the institute.
The necessity of retail cooperation to
combat enactment of retail sales taxes
has led to a revival of the proposal to
organize a New York State Association
of Retailers, it was said in the trade. 1t
was felt that the impetus toward the
creation of such an organization should
originate in upstate centers rather than
in New York City.

in the last two weeks by occasional

cancellations were unheard of, and they
are at loss to account for them now.

willing to receive the goods, but that

The Silk Travellers Association
voted $1,000 for unemployment relief
and reelected its officers, headed by

The Mohawk Carpet Mills, manu-
facturers of chenille carpet, have an
nounced a fiat reduction of 10 per

possible.
Imports of Japanese raw silk from
the beginning of the new crop year to
November 80 totaled 164.399 bales,
against 7,345 last year, the largest
ever reported. and indicates that more
buying has been done at low prices
than was commonly believed. 1t Is ex-
pected that many silk manufacturers
will be in a position to offer low-priced
goods for some time.

Wall Street Divided
On Whether Market
Will Hit New Lows
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, December S.
With the stock market back to
the average level Of a week ago
and all of a three-day gain lost
in two sessions, Wall Street APP
preached the speculative stu
alton this morning with consid-
cradle anxiety.
It had seen evidence Of fresh
liquidation in the closing hour
Thursday. Extreme weakness
had developed in some of the
strongest issues. The industrial
average was still 8 points above
the low of November 10, but rails
were only u point above that
day and public utilities 3 points
over 1t. The leading question
now is whether the list will re-
ceive enough support to keep 1t
from breaking through the No
vember resistance point. On this,
the Street is about evenly divided
between those who think that
the November 10 average will
stand as the low of the year and
those who feel that, before the
end of December new low aver
age will be established.
