Deny Sale of Electric
Storage Battery Company
President Says Report of Pur.
chase by National Carbon
Is Unfoumled
FinancHal Bureau
Staff Ciirresponde.nce
PHILADELPHIA. Mnrch 23. The
manarrcment of thc Electric Storage
Battery Company has no knowlediro 0f
steps which aro reported to huve been
taken by other interests to obtain con?
trol of the company. Herbert Lloyd,
president and general manager of thc'
company, made this statement to-day.
Mr. Lloyd was told that a report wiis
current in Wall Street yesterday that
the National Carbon Company was to
buy Electric Storage.
According to this story National Car?
bon was to pay par for tho Electric
Storage Btock, payment to be made in
National Carbon collateral trust bonds
with an interest rate of probably U per
cont. It was also reported that outsido
interests wero buying the stock in the
open market'for the Ceneral Electric
Company. These storios wero chnr
acterized as "ridiculous" by Mr. Lloyd.
Electric Storage Hattory stock was
the most active issuo on the Philadelphia
Htock Exchange during, the Insl. week
Thc total sales of the stock for the
week wero J22,2r'f> shares, and the final
(luotation on Saturday was 70%.
Predicts Big Shrinkage in
Government Wool Stocks
Goods for Men's Fall Clothing, Manufacturer Be
lieves, Can Be Bought Cheaper Now Than Two
Months Hence; English Mills Guarantee Prices
/
HENRY FRUHAUF, manufacturer ]
of men's clothing, believes that ,
prices for woollens and worsted?
will advance. For that reason he is !
now buying cloths from which his
firm ?Fruhauf Brothers & Co. will
make up suits and overcoats for
next fall, and he is willing to let the
fact be made known to his competitors.
"I confidently expect," said Mr. Fru- !
hauf, "that prices for woollens and i
worsted goods for men's fall clothing \
will advance at least 25 per cent with- !
in the next two months. If the cloth- j
ing manufacturers of the country get '
all the business for next fall they ex- j
pect, and I think they will, there will I
not be sufflcient woollen fabrics to go j
round. While it is true that the gov- I
ernment has more than 400,000,000 i
pounds of wool on its hands, that does f
not mcan 400,000,000 pounds of wool
I suitable to be made up into men's and :
j women's clothing. Much of it is in j
j the grease and will shrink on an aver
| age of 50 per cent. In addition to that !
j much of the government owned wool is j
j of too low a grade to be made up into |
cloth suitable for the clothing trade. j
j At a rough guess, I think, the avail
i able supply ?f wool ready to be woven
j into cloth will not exceed 100,000,000
, pounds. Even with the new domestic
clip and imports, the supply will not
I be increased to any great extent.
"On top of all this we must remem
| ber that tho mills were late in getting
i started on their fall production this
year. They have lost about three
1 months production at the beginning of
the season and are hampered now by
la.bor troubles. Some of the mills pro
ducing high grade fabrics for the
women's wear trade have not turned a
wheel for eight weeks or more because
cf strikes.
"Clothing manufacturers must have
their cloth to use during the ceming
summer months and I do not see how
production will equal the demand.
The only course open to the mills is
to increase their prices. The mills
are not making a large profit on the
goods they offer now. Prices were
made as low as possible to induce
users of woollens to buy and to get
the market started. I don't sec^, how
there can be any further reductions
and everything points to a rise in
prices.
"In some cases fine grades of cloth
are higher this year than they were
for last fall. Thi3 is notably true in
worsteds, and yet I believe worsteds
will.be popular suiting fabrics for
next fall and winter. A great many
of the boys who were in the army be?
came used to the good wearing quali
ties of the worsted cloth, of which
most of the uniforms were made, and
they will demand the same qualities
in their civilian clothes. No matter
how well a'woolllen cloth is made it
won't compare to a worsted in wear?
ing quality.
"As for the price question, we can
learn a lesson.from England. English.
mills are selling cloth now at a price
which is guaranteed until 1920. The
mills agree to refund the buyer the
differenco between his contract price
and any lower price to which goods
may fall later no. They are safe in
making the agreement, because they
know the price will not fall. Price
tendencies in England always are re
flected later on over here."

Good Business
In all sections of tho United States
except the Pacific Coast and mountain
regions purchases by retailers last
week were larger than in the preced
ing week according to the Credit
Ueonng House, the report of which is
based on more than 30,000 separate
transactions involving in excess of
$10,000,000.
As compared with tho corresponding
week in 1918, a fractional decline of
ninc-tenths of 1 per cent is reported.
JIms may bo accepted as an indication
of a remarkably healthy condition,
consulering that the country is now
supposed to be in the throes of h pain
ful readustment.
Moreover, while indebtedness increased
slightly over tho preceding week, it
was bclow the corresponding week last
year. Payments improved in four sec?
tions, but only ono section shows a
better activity than the corresponding
week last year.
r,,"Th.? !or"*y 'ndebtedncsB," the Credit
Ucaring House states, "shows clearly
that the consumer is buying freely and
the payment activity shows that the
retuiler is meeting his maturities.
This is most noticeable in tho East
section, although all sectiona except
the Pacilie Coast a*fid Middle agricult
ural show a very healthy condition in
all phases of business activity."

Drop in Footwear Output
Followed Armistice
Production of Saddlery and
Leather Belting Also
Slowed Down
There were 156 more concerns en?
gaged in the manufacture of boots and
shoes and leather goods last November
than there were in September, accord?
ing to the United States Bureau of the
Census. The number of pairs of
leather footwear of all kinds manu?
factured during November exceeded the
production of September by more than
2,250,000 pairs, but there was a reduc
tion of almost $400,000 in the value of
the shoes turned out for the govern
ment's military requirements in No?
vember.
During September the manufacturers
made shoes for the government valued
at $1,460,964. In October this item
jumped to $1,810,783, but in November
the end of the war apparently stopped
government orders, for during this
month the government expended onlv
$1,065,972 for footwear.
In September 25.961,004 pair3 of shoes
were produced, while in the following
month the output totalled 30,466.584
pairs. In November the total dropped to
28,214,184 pairs. In the value of all shoes
made for civilian consumption the
makers of women's footwear led with a
production of $10,235,832 worth of
shoes in November, $11,759,496 in Oc?
tober and $9,406,368 in September. The
value of men's shoes. both unlined and
dressed, in high and low styles, was
much below that of women's shoes
made in the same months. Infants'
and babies' shoes, assuming the values
had not advanced materially during the
three months, were turned out in about
the same quantities each month. The
values of this class of shoes made in
September, October and November
were, respectively, $3,022,656, $3,656,
712 and $3,340,800. The total value of
all shoes made for civilians .during
these months was $23,974,484 fn Sep?
tember, $28,046,392 in October and $26,
478,160 in November.
The census report also covered the
manufacture of leather gloves, and
shows a constant growth in the output
of this commodity each month. In Sep?
tember there were 259,612 dozen pairs
of gloves made in the United States.
The following month the production
had advanced to 309,948 dozen pairs,
and in November the official figures
show that 375,935 dozen pairs were
manufactured.
Again the influence of the signing of
the armistice is noted when a compari
son is made of the figures covering the
manufacture of saddlery and harness
and parts of military saddlery and
harness. During September *40,766
single sets of saddlery and harness
were made; in October 57,783 sets, and
in November 46,481 sets. In Septem?
ber 1,579,219 parts were made for the
above equipment. The following month
the totr.l jumped to 1,955,901, and in
November it dropped to 924,983.
Manufacturers of leather goods,

Lumber Market Stronger
General Improvement Taken to
Indioate Business Revival
Buainesa Nrwa Burrau
Special Correspondence
ST. LOUIS, March 22.-The lumber
market has shown more strength dur?
ing the last week than at any time
since the ? armistice was signed, ac?
cording to "Lumber," a trade author.
lty.
"The improvement is general?not
confined to any particular section of
the country nor assigned to any par?
ticular cause," this journal states.
'Rather is it something in the nature
of a spontaneous revival of business
and industrial conditions, reflected in
an increasing demand for lumber and
building materials of all kinds. Weath
er conditions favorable to building op
erations havo helped, to be sure, but
tho weather is not alono responsible,
for industry is slowly but surely
'finding itself.'
"The domestic demands for soft
woods have been confined largely to re
tail yards, mixed cars of lumber mov
ing tn large number from all produc
ing sections. Tho character of the
Hhipments indicates that retuilers, in
the main, are buying to replenish de
pleted stocks but orders for solid cars
are by no means infrequcnt. Hard
woods are moving in constantly in
sreasing volume, wood-consuming in
clustnals evidently accepting at face
i/aluo statements of manufacturers to
the effect that there is no possibility
or a reduction in prices.
"An interesting development in con?
nection with export demand during
.he week was the loading of a larirc
shipment of Douglas fir for Cuban
?onsumption. indicating that not
ilone has tho long-expected offshore
lemand begun to manifest itself, but
hat Western woods are beginning to '
mter a held long regarded as logi
?ally and geographically belongine to
southern woods."

CHICAGO. March 22.-Trade 3
ances rijcolved a boost at the rej?
convention of Indiana retail shoe d*f
ers held at Indianapolis. Fromthe*,"
the subject was discussed it waa J
parent that while tne business sl!
present had only a rudimentarv un*
standing of what a trade accepw,"
is they were eager for enlistment
?R. h. Cahill, of the Harrisbur*V
Company. was the principal gpeaS!
on this subject. He is an ardent adrr.
cate of trade acceptances as a raete
of doing business and making a d?X!
do more work than heretofore
Mr. Cahill said that the failure t.
use trade acceptances in our exwn
business had handicapped or W
down sales to other countries, particu
larly South America. Two SaicSB?
he said, one "rom England and or*
from the United States, offerinir their
goods personally to a retailer i?
Brazil, for instance, work in different
ways. The American seller meets thi
price of his British competitor. taztk
his goods and squarcs with him inererv
way except one; that is, payment fo'r
the shoes. Ihe Brazilian retaiU,
wants to give his o. k. to a bill 0f
acceptance so he may pay it in thirtt
sixty or ninety days. As American
bankers are not strong on trade ac?
ceptances, our salesman does not care
to take this acceptance, but wants cash
or a thirty or sixty day open accoum
Now steps in the British salesman
and takes the business from the Amer.
ican manufacturer by assuming the
Brazilian's trade acceptance and hand
ling it through the big chain of Brit?
ish international banks.
Manufacturers and jobbers are ??
ranging to take care of the acceptanet
for export business, but the domejtic
feature of the trade acceptance is the
one which must receive attention if
business is to expand along lines oi
other countries, Mr. Cahill declared.
The question was asked what be?
comes of a trade acceptance if the re?
tailers failed to pay the same at mt
turity. This was answered by sayinj
that if a manufacturer or jobber cashes
the retailer's bill of acceptance at the
bank on a thirty-day basis and at the
end of that. period the retailer finds he
cannot meet the o"bligation or bill o{
acceptance he pays what he can on it,
makes out a new bill of acceptance
and it is cashed through the bank by
the manufacturer, the latter carryinj
for the retailer the difference between
what he pays and the new bill of ic
ceptance. It was explained that the
chief feature of the bill of acceptance
was to allow the manufacturer to ob?
tain funds in advance and allow thi
retailer to sell his entire stock before
paying for his goods. The manu?
facturer loses one half of one per
cent a month, which discount the bank
charges him for cashing a bill of tt
ceptance. The bank, in turn, doesiNt
necessarily have to carry the billof
acceptance, but pledges it to a Fta
cral Reserve bank for loans.
The retailer, to judge from the dii
cussion, seems to be tho one who ii
most fearful of the trade acceptance,
the manufacturer seeming to desire iti
use.

WORLD WIDE.
With the return of Peace, production is rapidlv catching
up with demand in America. But in no other big com?
mercial country has peace reconstruction vet made
marked progress.
An opportunity now exists for establishing World Wide
distribution before World Wide competition is consoli?
dated.
But this opportunity is not to last long enough to allow
lor omissions and delays. Foresighted men will act now.
Here is offered the speediest and most direct method of
lmtiating a policy of securing export trade or of supple
menting and extending efforts already made to attract
foreign business.
