While most of tho business was in fall weaves, the leading selling agents stated thal lnsiiy orders fur spring and summer , fabrics had been received, and it was asserted that post-Easter trado never had been better than at present. The demand for the fall goods runs largely to high elass fabrics, which sell freely at $4 to $5 a yard, wholesale. Black and navy blue.s are the eolors most wanted, but satins in high lustres also sold well. .Some of tho French importers reported a splendid trade in high class Lyons novolties, the snles beinv; made from samples.

As an in afrance he pointed out lhe experience of a consumcr who was in need of sul phuric acid, oleum, and who applied lo the government for a. consid'erablc quantity. The product, *n was said. was offered to him in the open market *t $17 a ion. but for patriotic reasons he decided t.o obtain his Supply from government sources. Bcsides this, Etocks owned by the government were Htored on his premises. Agents of tho War ]>epartmont re? ceived the offer with pleasure, and asked the consumer to wait for further information, while thc offer wns goine; through thc department channels at Washington. After a dclay of several days the consumer let it. be known that his need for the acid was becom ing urgent, and that unless he could have definite word as to the govern ment's intention he would have to buy his supply in the open market. He was then told to "go ahead" and take what he needed from the supply avail? able at his p^ant, and was assured tiiut Le would "be taken care of." ln accordance with this suggestion the consumer took what he needed. Several days later he received a bill from the government in which he waa charged $26 per ton for the sulphuric acid he had taken. The consumer protested, and thc matter was taken up with the authorities at Washington, who reduced tho price to $24 a ton. Thc consumer thereupon decided to replaca the government's acid rather than pay the price charged, and went into the open market. where he bought a large quantity under $17 per ton, Before he was able io make the re placement the War Department re duoed its price to $17, and the matter was thu adjusti d Say Committee Chairmen, t Asks Help in Paying Purchase of Victorv realize full well the sacrifices they must make to put this loan over for their industries and they will do it in a man ner reflecting credit on thcmselves. "This Victory Loan is going over be? cause there is a job to finish; because we want tlie boys back home, and sub? scriptions to the Victory Loan will help to bring them; because there are hills to pay and honorable. men pay their bills; because this loan is a most attrae? tive business proposition, and because every patriotic American must, and will, do his duty, under any and all ciroumstances," 1'avid X.

Beilstein of the Dodge & Olcott Co., who spoke yesterday before the convention of tho Manu? facturing Perfumers' Association at the Hotel Biltmore. Difficulties in obtaining raw ma? terials from the various sources of supply in Europe did not come to an end with the armistice, so Mr. Beil? stein asserted, but will confront the in? dustry for an indefinite period, while producers in France and other Allied countries will be forced to sell at in? ereased prices because of the enor mous war debts with which they are burdened. The ( entral Powers, i s pecially Germany, he declared, are to day almosl entirely without the basic commodities with which to begin pro? duction of perfumory, such stores as havo been hold o\ m in those countries from pie war d i) ? ha\ ing l., come usn less, l',.r this reason, the i .

Chemicals Demand for Industrial Chem icals Indieates Revival t Domestic demand for sulphuric acid, used for many and diversificd indus? trial purposes, wns yesterday report? ed as increasing. This was taken as an indication of industrial revival. The price of this commodity is becom ing firmer. A sign of gradually awakening busi? ness is offered in tlie larger number of inquiries coming into the hands of manufacturers for heavy industrial chemicals. Orders are still limited, but the inquiries indicate that buyen are becoming more interested in the market. Stocks in the hands of ? are running low, and it is expected that substantial orders for chem ?.. will be forthcoming as soon as fac? tories generally increase their output in response to better orders. Prices aro believed to have reach. d a level that will bc maintainecl for some time. Navy Department Gets Sealecl Bids for Denims tSe-aled bids wore received yesterday by the naval authorities in Brooklyn for LOOu.ODO yards of denims, suit table for making workingmen's gar? ments. The bids will bc sent to Washington for final action by the Navy Department. Manufacturers of this fabric have protested against the goods being sold at this time when the market is recovering from d ipres sion. While the quantity held bj the navy is relatively small it was inti mated that whatever action the de? partment may elect to take on tho bida might bo followed hy the War De? partment, which is said to hold laige suppljes nf denims.

Most of them ny tl is too early to determine the infiuence that. the .'. per cent war revenue tax has upon sale... As this tax ia only 2 per cent more than was collected by the manufacturers last year it is said that it does not make a material difference in the cost of the goods to thi nal piirchaser. With the so-called luxury taxes becoming ctTective May 1, the jewellers believe that the public will become so accustomed to paying this revenue to the government. that it will take it as a matter of course in making all purchases. -t . . Strike May Cause Shortage of Fur Garment* If the strike in the fur dyeing and dressing piants of Brooklyn continues a few weeks more it will cause a shortage of manufacturer furs. say Rome of the leading manufacturers, Some of the smaller manufacturers who do not carry large stocks of dyed and drcssed skins on hand already have felt the shortage. Must of the larger houses were fairly well stocked with supplies when t hc" strike began, and they have been drawing on these ever since. These ri - ive stocks -vill soon be exhausted, and it is predicted by some of the manufacturers that a real shortage will occur in another week or two unless tho strika is settle d. Textiles Victory Loan Prospect Stimulates Dry Goods Buying Buying of dry goods yesterday was relatively active, and a number of commission houses stated that the hright prospects for the successful flo tation of the Victory notes had made buyers more contident. It was con ceded that cutters were better cus? tomers than the jobbers. Orders for colored goods were liberai, and ex? port trade was of eneouraging vol 1,1110. Norway and Sweden were reputed to be the largest buyers, and it was stated that the morchants of Peru for the lirst time in two years had sent in orders for colored fabrics. Business in bleached goods was quite satisfactory, most of the orders be? ing received from cutters and larpe retail dealers. Huying was devoid of speculative aspects, the purchases be ing along lines witnessed before the war.

A JSijju of Prosperity A rcflection of the large volume of business being done by retailers throughout the country is seen in the statement of lhe National Cash Regis ter Company that its business last March was 30 per cent greater than that of any prcvious month in the thirty-f'ivc years of the history of the company. This great increase. is said lo he due mostly to the sales of modern cash register equipment to department and other retail stores. At present the company is said to be doing only about 20 per cent of its normal foreign busi ness. Arrivals of Burlap From India Makes Buyers Cautious Trnde in burlap yesterday was quiet. It was reported that considerablc quantities had been received on four Bteamers that arrived direct from Cal cuta in the last few davs. and that these receipts had made prospective buyers somewhat cautious.
