Cotton Goods Trade
Restricted Despite
Price Revision
Mills Are Reluctant
To Sell Until After
Study Of Changes
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 21.-Worth
Street textile sources reported a
heavy demand for cotton cloth but
few sales today as result of up
ward revision of the Federal price
ceilings, explaining volume was held
down because mills were reluctant
to sell until they had studied the
new price schedule.
Retail cloth price jumps of as
much as cents a yard the equiv
alent OF about Is cents pound,
based on wholesale rises Of cent a
yard. were forecast freely.
One reason given for the restricted
trading was the recent sharp ad-
vance in raw cotton futures.
Mill agents pointed out that while
print cloth prices we're raised from
80 cents a pound to 43 cents, cotton
prices had climbed from about l4a
cents a pound on June %, the day
ceilings were put on cloth prices, to
around 1872 cents. That. they said,
about wiped out any advantage from
ceiling revision, since l and cent
premiums are placed on certain
qualities of cotton.

liveries in the next few months" :"

The general comment was, how
ever, that the new prices were close

Just the same, We favor only
orders for immediate or early de-
livery. and We are going to avoid
selling too far ahead" one Worth
Street selling agent declared.
Cutting down on long g-term con-

NEW YORK. July 2l-Steel mill
operations for this week today were
estimated by the American Iron and

having bought automatic screw ma

More and more do shortages
trace back to scarcity of steel scrap
and pig iron. Such shortages now
prevent expended production in
come cases and are expected to force
reduction in steel output later this
year. Railroads are returning scrap
in much lower than normal volume.
and after August automobile
makers are expected to produce less
scrap because of curtailed car out
put. Many are employing barter
arrangements, so much scrap for
so much finished steel materials. A
hopeful phase is that the amount of
scrap now being shipped abroad is
relatively negligible

Hercules Increases
SmokeIess Powder
Output 9 Times
Construction Program
To Double Production
Again by Fall

BY the Associated Press.
WILMINGTON, Del, July 21.-
Hercules Powder Co. announced
today its smokeless powder produc-
ton had increased 900 per cent
over that of a year ago and was
ahead of national defense sched-
ules
When the additional facilities
under construction are completed in
late summer or early autumn, our
smokeless powder production cap
acity will have doubled again"
Charles A. Higgins, president of the
company. said in his report.
Hercules net earnings for the six
months ended June 80 were 81
83l,l89 after Federal taxes of s4,-
7l5,742 and were equal to sl95 a
snare on common stock after pre-
ferred dividends. This compared
with s3,293.O65 or $3.50 a common
share in the first half of 1910.
June quarter net profit was ST.
470,763 or sl02 a common share,
against 81 .360. .426 or SO cents a share
for the March quarter.
Higgins said the number of Her.
cules employees had increased so
per cent in the past year, in addi-
ton to workmen engaged in build
ing ordnance facilities representing
plant investments Of $4,000 900. an
amount he said was greater than
that of all of the companys own
plants combined.
The company president said that
while powder making was the chief
job Hercules was doing, it also had
expanded its production of rubber
solvents, cellulose products. textile
chemicals and industrial explosives
to meet the demands of the national
defense program.

Auto Stocks Small
As Plants Prepare
For New Season
Retailers Will Have
Few Cars Left to
Clear Out
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,

DETROIT. July 21.-The mer-
chandising division of the motorcar
industry soon will be in the annual
clean up" period-the weeks be-
tween the completion of one model
run and the beginning of another
| Contrasting with like periods over
most Of the last decade, however,
the retailers will have few cars to
clear out as the factories prepare
| to deliver the 1912 models.
Certainly there will be no bargain
sales" of superseded models.
The industry. according to au-
thoritative sources, will wind up its
current model year with a smaller
stock of new cars in dealers hands
than any year end since 1884 cars
were introduced. Six months ago
dealers we're concerned at the
heaviest field stocks they had piled
up in considerably more than a
decade.
Sales Rush Continues.
Sales, however, have been running
consistently ahead of factory out
put since early in March and indi-
cations are that consumer demand
will be in excess of factory deliveries
well into the new year that is to
see car production subordinated to
defense requirements.
Speculation in automotive trade
quarters appears to favor the belief
that there will be more buyers than
car during the initial months Of
the new model year despite the car
sales managers cwn admission that
part of this years huge retail
volume was borrowed from next
years normal market.
There is considerable apprehension
among union leaders and in trade
quarters over probable widespread
temporary unemployment in the
automotive industry with the pro-
duction curtailment in effect before
the new defense factories begin to
call for large forces of men. This
apprehension has been enhanced by
recent indications that the already
announced 20 per cent curtailment
for the new model year may be
stepped up to as much as so per cent.
Fears of extensive unemployment
have led to the expressed hope by
workers representatives and others
that the reduction program may be
supplemented gradually. They have
stimulated speculation also as to just
how much of the 1912 model output
total can be concentrated in the
early months of the new automotive
year.
July Volume Large.
Despite the tapering of OF pro-
duction already under way on 1s4l
model output. assemblies for July
are expected to total close to 400, 0,000
Customary new model assembly
problems will affect output adversely
in August and September regardless
of curtailment orders.
Fluid production" whatever its
volume. thus cannot be counted upon
much before October /. Even with
out major mechanical changes new
model production always develops
certain assembly bugs that have
to be eliminated before desired flex-
ibility of movement is possible.
The trade authorities. converting
I percentage curtailment into unit
| production. point out that the facto-
r:es operated at unusually high lev
els in the final quarter of last year,
