NEW YORK, Sept 8.-Huge de-
mand for cotton goods, released by
the war-buying wave, moved many
textile houses to withdraw from the
market today until conditions settle.
Orders for upwards Of 500,000,000
yards Of cotton goods, described in
some quarters as record business
for so short a period. were estimated
to have been placed in three pre-
vious sessions of buying for pro-
lection against higher prices.
Prices have risen l to IL cents
yard on the rush, trade observers
reported.
Worth Street, the textile trading
center, noted for its sensitivity to
business changes, was thronged with
clamorous buyers. Some warehouses
were reported to have been sold
out entirely from reserve stocks.
The inclination today, it was said
continued to be toward higher
prices, but many mills declined to
take orders until conditions stabilize.
The landslide of war buying
conceded with a period when the
textile markets usually are feeling
the autumn upturn in business.

Since last March thousands of

property confiscated, their only hope
lying in refuge on some distant land.
Sometimes even this hope is futile.
Within two days the U. S. had this
problem brought shockingly to mind
twice:
q In Chicago, 43-year-old Mrs. Adele
LANCER (wife of Czech Jew whose
81 SOC, 900 textile mills had been con-

AGRICULTURE:
Rnrfpr
Barter

Forgotten by surplus-ridden U. S.
lard producers is the humorous situ-
alton several years ago when they
bartered lard for German machin-
cry, finding themselves holding sew
eral thousand musical but useless
harmonious. Today Germany still
needs lard, for which she will pay
60 per cent above the present do
mestic price of 5 to 5A cents a
pound.
Contrary to the state departments
reciprocal trade program is the bar
ter plan producers would now insti-
tute. Rebuffed by Secretary of State
Cordell Hull, producers and German
barter emissaries turned to the
treasury department where Under
secretary John w. Hanes agreed to
a hearing. The plan, which obvious
ly seeks legal circumvention of very
definite foreign trade regulations, is
something like this:
U. S. packers, having arranged a
transaction in Germany, would sell
lard to an American importing firm,
which would trade it to private Ger
man buyers for "askimarks," usa-
BILE only in that country. The inn
porter would then purchase German
products now on the U. S. free list,
paying in Germany money about
one-fourth what he would pay else
where. Products, turned over to
lard producers here, would be
largely of farm nature: Machinery,
cream separators and fertilizer.
