NEW YORK, July 18.-While manu-
facturers, jobbers and distributors today
discussed selective distribution plans,
ut-of-town buyers continue their pur-
chases of Autumn merchandise and
business executives emphasized the i'm
provement in inquiry and demand
In Chicago clothing manufacturers
have been predicting a shortage Of early
Autumn clothing They are unable to
make prompt deliveries, as they started
seasonal manufacturing operations sew
eral weeks late because cloth mills
opened their lines later than usual this
year
Whether or not this state of affairs
has any direct bearing on the boys
clothing market here could not be
ascertained. but prCuucerS OF boys wear
in the last few days have been re-
ceiving increased orders for woolen
suits. Such manufacturers, therefore,
suits. Such MANUFACTURES, therefore,
are increasing cutting operations.
The bettered demand for various types
of yarn-one underwear mill Thursday
placed a contract for $4,000 pounds, or
several months supply-causes manu-
facturers to believe that their dollar
volume in July will be much above
that of June. incidentally, from pres
ent indications the regular range basis
of S4.75 for a 12-pound union suit,
with the lO-pound from S3.75 10 81,
will be announced. With prices Vlr-
tually unchanged, various factors IN
the underwear business can purchase
their raw materials with greater as
Surance.
The entire upholstery fabric business
feels more cheerful because one OF
the largest factors bought $4,000 .000
pounds of adult mohair from the Ma
tional Wool Marketing Corporation
thereby removing from the market the
entire stock of GOvernment-oWned mo-
hair. the existence of which had oe-
pressing effect on quotations.
Along Worth and Thomas streets,
where many of the shoe wholesalers are
located. there was better feeling To-
day because of the success Of the Thlr-
teenth Annual Boston Shoe Fair, which
closed Thursday night The volume OF
orders booked ran ahead OF expecta-
tions. Nearly half Of the total volume
of business for the three-day far was
signed up after noon Thursday.
Meanwhile. various sections continue
to report increased or resumed opera
tions. American Bemberg Corporation
and American GlanZtof Corporation,
both of Elizabethton. Tenn. are calling
back some. workers. The Harvard Knit
ting Mills at Wakefield, Mass, are re-
opening. Duplan Silk Mills OF Hazel
ton, Pa. are doubling their rate OF
operations. while operations at the
B. B. & r. Knight Corporation Royal
Mill at Riverpoint are being resumed.

LOW WHEAT PRICE J
MAY START BUYING
Grain Traders Say Any Con-
Structive News Will
-i@ Aid Market.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
With wheat values humping along on
the bottom, any constructive develop
ments, grain traders say, should be
healthy influence for a rise to some
what higher levels.
So the keenest attention is paid the
weather. rust and other plant and in
sect damage and any favorable Eu-
ropean news. Some hold the cheap
ness OF wheat should attract buying,
possibly some new export business.
The grain markets turned easier last
week with improved crop prospects re-
fected in upward revisions Of forecasts
and continued slack inquiry for current
market offerings. Domestic markets
weakened with a dull export demand
although a moderately active local
milling inquiry was apparent.
United States crop prospects were re-
ported by the Agriculture Department
last week as having frightened in
June. the estimate now being for
production of 736.971000 bushels
against 1874, ,204 900 last year.
Harvesting of Winter wheat has been
largely completed in many central and
Southern sections. The critical period
is just ahead for Spring wheat Grass
hcppers damage very likely will not be
as great as feared. The Agriculture
Department. however, has warned of
fiagsmut spreading persistently in ILL
nois, Missouri and Kansas.
Corn last week showed some inde-
pendent strength under the more IA
vorable feeding situation. but the fa-
vorable crop outlook was a weakening
market factor. Rye was easier with
wheat and oats and barley weakened.

STOCK PRICES OFF
IN FINAL TRADING
Profit Taking on Recent Ad-
vances Given as Cause
of Reaction.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
iaIDisnatch to The Stal

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 18.-Stock Ex-
change prices reacted today, presumably
on realizing, with lcsses of to points
in the more active speculative issues
and smaller declines elsewhere.
Prices held steady all the morning,
turned irregular in the early afternoon
and make their lows in the last hour
after the du Pont earnings statement
for the second quarter appeared.
According to the preliminary esti-
mate. earnings for du Point were equal
to 27 cents a share fer the three months
ending June 80, compared with IA cents
a share in the preceding quarter and
S123 a share in the June quarter a
year ago. Inasmuch as this years re-
suits included dividends from General
Motors. the disbursement on which the
Street is uncertain about, du Pont broke
to its old bear market low.
The market had the adjournment Of
Congress. supposedly a favorable in
f1uence, to reflect at the start. Worry
about legislation was over for the pres
ent. On the other hand the trend in
commodities was in doubt. particular
" in wheat, where the prevailing low
price had brought no increase in specu-
lative buying 1t was restrained by ex-
peCted poor second quarter statements
and by continued dividend doubts.
Nevertheless sentiment in the Street
was little more optimistic. Groups
that had been bearish were inclined to
restrict operations on that side. They
were mainly influenced by the showing
made by the railway stocks, which had
been creeping upward most Of last week
and which were still surprisingly firm
in the early trading today. No adequate
explanation was offered for this sup
port for the rails, but Of the fact there
was no doubt
The better market for preferred is
sues also restrained offerings for short
account. 1t was evident in General
Motors preferred and in some of the
better railway preferred stocks. United
States Steel preferred advanced during
the first hour, but then reacted
Maintenance of the regular rate on that
issue at the meeting on July 26 will be
a constructive influence all through the
market. That the regular rate will be
paid is expected in the best informed
circles. but the market price indicates
that doubt still exists among investors.
