W*A\ Cl.JBVpLAND. ?aarataar DaaasalKflrTsiib, \nl Business News LOCAL banks have not yet entered the commercial paperN market in an imposant way and declare they will not do so until the market for Stock Exchange loans has become definitely easier. The country banks continue to about take up the present supply of bills. Rates are still 6 per cent for the best'names. There was improved demand for prfme bankers' acceptances and local institutions were heavier buyers than they have been for some time. Rates were unchanged. COTTONS?Shirt Manufacturers Seeking Goods Several large shirt manufacturers are now in the market searching for goods to be used in their spring pro? duction. These men held off buying until the last minute in the belief that prices would recede. Now they are confronted with prices fully 25 per cent ahead of those, of last Septem? ber and the problem of securing ade? quate supplies from a number of sources, since mills and commission merchants generally are unable to ac? cept large orders for delivery dur? ing the next two or three months. Normally these orders would have been placed four months ago. In the face of a possible curtail? ment in consumption because of ex? tremely high prices, some of the largest converters of shirtings are placing big orders for gray goods, de? liveries to run through the summer months. These goods will go into shirts offered over the retail counters in the spring of 1921. One converter said yesterday that he was placing such orders now for a certain clbth, which he expects to sell, in the finished State, to shirt makers at 89 cents a yard in September. Such goods five years ago could have been sold at not more than 10% cents a yard. He admits that he is gambling on the future, but says that no other* course is open to him, since he must provide materials to keep a large print and bleach plant in operation. SILKS?Small MMs Using Cast-Off Machinery Large and established silk manu? facturers themselves pave the way through which the( "little fellow," against whom there'is much raillery, engages in business. This is a state? ment made by a leading silk manu? facturer yesterday. He bases his conclusion on the fact that most of the new small mills that are' spring? ing up overnight in New Jersey, Penn? sylvania, Long Island and other silk producing centers are equipped with second-hand machinery purchased from the older and larger factories. This man suggests old machinery be scrapped and sold as junk to pre? vent its falling into the hands of un? scrupulous manufacturers, who are taking ' advantage of the present strong demand for silks to enter the producing field and realize large profits by making inferior merchan? dise. Some of the big silk producers are now working on new designs and styles for next fall. Several of the leading houses will be prepared to book orders for fall silks about Feb? ruary 1. According to present figur? ing, prices will show an advance compared with the spring openings and current market values. LEATHER?Predicts High Glove Price for Three Years With steadily rising prices resulting from shortage of merchandise, scarcity of labor and great demand, uncertain deliveries and strikes, the situation in the imported glove industry with the opening of 1920, according to authori? ties in the trade, is decidedly cloudy. Prices at present are phenominal and indications are that they will continue to increase as the season advances. W. M. Smith, manager of P. Cente meri & Co., said yesterday that he does not look for any decrease in .prices for three years. "The serious scarcity of labor in Grenoble, France, and the shortage of materials, together with the high cost of silk used for stitching and embroid? ery on the gloves," he added, "make it absolutely impossible for manufac? turers to reduce prices.'' The remarkable feature of the situa? tion, according to Mr. Smith, is that in spite of the increased prices there Buyers Buyers are invited to register In this column by telephoning Beekman 8243 between 10 a. m. and 7 p. m.

Never in the History of the industry have leaders in the trade witnessed such early buying as is now being ef? fected. Manufacturers have been sold out of spring goods for four months, and expect to have orders on the entire 1920 fall output within the next month. Both the long and short gloves are in demand, more interest centering on the long models than for some years. Fancy embroidered and two-toned gloves are in good favor, while the suede styles are selling better than ever before. _ William J. Harrigan, New York rep? resentative of Rey-Jonvin Jrejef> French glovemakers, echoes Mr.?smiths pessisism over the 1920 outlook for the glove trade. Predicting staggering prices, he said that some varieties of gloves are selling at 60 per cent.higher for this spring's wear than thev did in the spring of 1919. "The scarcity of kid gloves," he said, "is one of the most important reasons for the in? crease in the price of gloves. During the war the animals in France, which make the best quality glove, were killed for food. Breeding was neglected, and naturally a lessened supply was the re? sult. Then the silk floss with which the gloves ere made has advanced enormously. Added to the strikes and labor troubles the result is a chaotic situation." FURS?Catch Small, but Quality Is Excellent ''Although furs of the new catch are below normal in quantity this year, the quality, in nearly all cases, is superior to that of past seasons, ac? cording to local collectors and dealers. Manufacturing furriers, with the holidays and annual inventories behind them, are beginning to purchase their new Btocks now. The bulk of this buy? ing, however, is not expected to begin until next week. In the opinion of large collectors, most of the new catch is now in the market. New shipments have fallen off within the last week, especially from the northern and western produc? ing centers, where the extremely cold weather has put an end to trapping. Although skunk and opossum arrived early in the season in larger quanti? ties than usual, the total quantity for the trapping period is not much above normal. Prices of these furs, which showed a sagging tendency a few weeks ago, are advancing in sympathy with other kinds, the scarcity of which has boosted prices to record figures in many cases. JEWELRY?A Record Year in Wedding Rings More wedding rings were sold in 1919 than in any preceding year in the history of the jewelry industry. Although some orders- were received for the carved platinum style, the greater part of the demand was for the old fashioned gold band pattern. While manufacturers made strenuous efforts to push the platinum style, as their profit on it is about ten times greater than on the gold band, most customers could not be persuaded to purchase the more expensive ring, which must go down in tho year's trading as a failure. Manufacturers attribute the won? derful 1919 business to the higher wages paid by all industries. Many men, who before the war could not afford to get married, received several increases in salaries last year and the result was a year of many marriages. The mustering out of many men from the government service also" was a great help to the jewelers, as many ex-soldiers and sailors immediately after their discharge sought the near? est jewelry store and purchased the wedding rings that the Great War alone had stopped them from buying months before. r r i v e d drosses: E.
