Holiday CurtaiIs Activity
In Cotton Textile Trade
By the Assoeioied Press

NEW YORK, Dec. 24.-The ap-
preaching holidays further curtailed
activity in the cotton textile market
this week.
The exception was four-leaf twills
which sold in good volume as far
ahead as February to the drapery
trade.
In the rest of the market sales
were scattered and confined mostly
to fill-in lots for December delivery.
Secondhand offerings of goods in
creased, a normal practice at the
'year-end, and at prices under mill
levels. This caused some selling
houses to withdraw from the market
until after the turn of the year.
No sustained buying was antici-
pated for the rest of this month.
Some types of tobacco cloths were
lowered in price.
The wool goods market was dull
pending the opening of fall 1949
lines by the mills. Meanwhile the
poor levels of retail sales on mems
overcoats brought operations of
mills on that item of apparel prac-
tically to standstill.
Rayon goods were moderately &C
tive, with particular interest in
crepes and taffetas. Prices in the
secondary market were lower than
the mill level. Some converters said
they were able to obtain goods for
first quarter delivery readily enough
and at lower prices than the current
quarter.

Sharp Rise In Quicksilver
Is Metal Market Feature

NEW YORK, Dec. 25.-The sharp
advance in the price of quicksilver
Ihighlighted the nonferrous metals
news this week as the copper supply
pinch continued.
Domestic quicksilver. quoted at
around $7S to $50 a flask of rs
pounds for the past several weeks,
jumped to $9O-$92 following an un-
expected boost of $14 flask by the
Spanish-Italian cartel.
This producing group, Mercurio
Europeo, announced the higher price
coincident with word that the COM
bine had formed the International
Quicksilver Corp. to represent it in
the world market.
Many quicksilver dealers abroad
attributed the boost to the assump-
ton that competition from war-sur-
plus mecury stock had ended. An
American agency representing the
Far Eastern Allied Command was re-
ported recently to have disposed Of
some 2,700 TASKS of wartime quick
silver accumulated in Japan.
The possibility that the new price
might result in reopening of high
cost mercury mines in this country
was discounted by several Western
producers. They said the price
probably would have to be main
tanned for some time at around 500
before marginal operations could be
resumed profitably.
Quicksilver is used in this country
chiefly for mercury boilers, paints,
pharmaceutical products, thermom-
eters and gauges and batteries.

marking of nearly 10 per cent ol
steel for essential" users.
Secretary Sawyer counts on the
two projects to assure the industry
badly needed scrap so there won't
be any steel-making capacity idle
for lack Of raw material.
He has invited the Nations iror
and scrap dealers to meet tomorrow
and give their views on setting ur
private corporation to be exclusive
buyer of scrap in Germany for ex-
port to this country. The depart.
ment would then allocate this scrap
He has scheduled meeting
Thursday of trade association exec
utives to arrange a drive to collect
iron and steel scrap material from
industry, auto wreckers and farms
but not households-so it will get
into the flow of steel mills faster.
Efforts Paying Of.
Already, Mr.. Sawyer's aides say
efforts to get scrap moving back
here from Germany have begun to
pay OF in shiploads of steel. They
contend, however, that another
stepup can be gained if a single
buying agent is established for
American buyers of scrap from
Germany. Earmarking of steel by
voluntary agreement of that in
dustry to programs sponsored by
the department for benefit of "es-
sential" users will really begin af-
fecting the movement of steel next
month, when a lot of the newly
adopted programs get under way.
Department analysts say they be-
lieve that channeling Of nearby
one-tenth Of the expected $4,000, 900
tons yearly output of steel won't
hurt manufacturers Of nonessen-
tials severely.
Their explanation: Essential users
would have obtained more than
100000 of the 5000, ,000-odd tons
they're to get under the programs by
next June 80 even If there hadn't
been any voluntary allocations pro-
gram. The expected 5000 000-ton
increase over last year in steel out
put will make up for it.
Essential Uses Cited.
Here are uses to which steel has
been channeled by voluntary allo-
cations programs already completed,
along with the tonnage Of alloca-
tions on an annual basis:
Freight Car production, 5000, 900
tons. warm air furnaces for homes,
350,000: armed forces needs, $780,
900; oil field tanks and equipment,
198,360; inland waterway barges,
100000; hard coal mining main
tenance and repairs, 3O,84o; oil
tanker production, 100000

mittee contends that small busi-
ness in the agricultural implement

suggested that 1.-The dominant mem
bers OF the industry probably can ex-
tend that relief from their increase
in steel supply without serious
jeopardy to their position"
Chairman Wherry, Republican, of
Nebraska sent the report to Secre-
tary Sawyer with request that a
voluntary program be planned for
steel for the farm machinery in
dustry for the purpose of assuring
a fairer share of steel to the smaller,
