Garment Makers Will
Fight Cancellations
Prepare to Resist Withdrawal
of Orders if Prices
. Decline
?\ majority of the manufacturers i <
who a?re members of the International J
Association of Garment Manufacturers
appear prepared to strongly resist at- J
tempts of their customers to cancel
orders in case the price of raw mate?
rials used by the manufacturers de?
clines within the near future. This
was brought out at the association's
annual meeting yesterday. Several
hundred manufacturers of shirts, ath?
letic underwear and nightshirts, gloves,
overalls, heavy work garments and
white duck clothing were present at
the convention.
Much time was given to the discus?
sion of the cancellation problem. Sec?
retary A. P. Allison read replies to a
referendum recently sent out indi?
cating that out of 100 manufacturers
thirty-five have taken steps to protect
themselves against cancellations. Many
of the remaining sixty-five said they
were prepared to resist possible can?
cellations. Of the thirty-five referred \
to ten now guarantee prices against !
decline up to the delivery date.
New orders for the coming season ;
?will be taken, beginning in February,
by one-third of the pants manufactur?
ers replying to the referendum, one
third in March and one-third in April.
Overall, leather garment and flannel
shirt manufacturers have opened new
lines already for the most part. A
few will open lines in February and
only two in March. Middy blouses,
wash suits and boys' suits will be
opened in May.
Fifty-six out of ninety-six manu?
facturers said they were not reserving
the right to ship goods when ready,
while forty replied that they were. De?
livery dates on new orders stretch from
July 1 to October 1, according to the
referendum. A quarter of those re?
plying indicated their iatention of
specifying delivery dates on future
ortiers.
Much interest was evinced in the re?
port of the bureau of factory prac?
tice and industrial relations of the
association, which has compiled much
information concerning improved fac?
tory method? and systems of dealing
with the employees in factories, under
the direction of Arthur Schwab, chief
t of the bureau.
To-day the association will discuss
price guarantee? with Commissioner
W illiam B. Co!ver of the Federal Trade
Commission, and also the topic of
'?Open Prices," or the dissemination
among all members of the selling
pri?es maintained by each individual
member.

Support Demand for
Woolen Price Investigation
i Support of the demand made at the
meeeting of the National Retail Cloth?
iers' Association in Chicago for a gov?
ernmental investigation into the causes
I of high prices of woolen and worsted
goods will bo lent by tho National
Garment Retailers' Association. An?
nouncement to this effect wns made by
John W. Hahn, secretary of the latter
body, which is composed of retailers
of women's apparel in all parts of the
country.
The original demand made in Chi?
cago by Colonel Fred Levy, president
of the retail clothiers' association,
came about in a reply to the assertion
of William W. Wood, president of the
American Woolen Company, that the
retailers of Lawrence, Mass., where
some of tho American's mills are lo?
cated, wore profiteering.
? Tho question is expected to be put
before the Department of JuBtice at
the trade conference of manufacturers
and retailers of apparel and shoes in
Washington next Monday, with As?
sistant Attorney General Howard E.
Fi??.
F?vor The Hague
For Conference
On Europe's Needs
Memorial Sent to Govern?
ments in Part Designed
to Induce France to
Increase Direct Taxes
The world-wide conference of eco?
nomic representatives of the leading
nations, the need of which eminent
citizens in eight nations have expressed
in memorials to their respective gov?
ernments, will probably be held at The
Hague, Holland, and ought to take place
by March 1 of this year, bankers as?
sociated with the movement to stabil?
ize European conditions declared yes?
terday.
Although the effort was again de?
scribed as "a simultaneous combustion"
in various countries, it was admitted
that the neutral countries of Europe
took an especially active part in ar?
ranging the demonstration. The idea,
it developed, has been under consider?
ation for many weeks, and was dis?
cussed by American financiers who
recently travelled across the Atlantic.
The first step toward better condi?
tions that the sponsors expect is "a
cleaning house financially" by the
countries which expect to come into
the foreign money marts as borrowers.
The particular recommendation made
was that the countries increase taxes
sufficiently to go on as near a pay-as
you-go basis as possible. The language
of the memorial on this point, it was
learned, was directed especially to
France and in part to Italy and the
other nations.
The Jf'rench nign commission ye;
terday made public the contents of a
official cable received from the Frene
government to the effect that the ii
come from taxes during 1919 far ei
ceeded estimates, and that the Pr?s
dents of the Departments Genen
Council had agreed in opening ac
dresses Wednesday to suggest to th
government that expenses be reduce
and the rate of taxes be increased i
order to put the country on a stabl
basis.
According to the French, High Com
mission statistics, the incon?e of Franc
from taxes, both direct and indirect
last year amounted to 10,704,309,10
francs, an increase of 6,163,309,100 ove
1914. However, a leading interna
tional banker asserted that Franc
would have to take in between 15,000,
000,000 and 16,000,000,000 francs in or
der to break even.
Because of unsatisfactory transmis
sion the list of French signers to thi
memorial, which came yesterday, wa:
received in indistinct form, but in
eluded the names of Raphael Georgei
Levy, a member of the French Academ;
and professor of political economy; R
Lehideux, president of the Bankers
Union, and M. d'Arcy, president of th<
Comit? Houilli?res.
Moreover, it was learned from th?
American sponsors that the memorial!
had been presented to President Wilsor
and to the Chamber of Commerce o1
the United States and that copies hac
been sent to the Secretary of State anc
the Secretary of the Treasury. The
next move, so far as the Americans
are concerned, is up to the Chamber ol
Commerce, which has been asked to
name the delegates from the United
States. In other countries it is ex?
pected that the government will ap?
point the representatives.
The demonstration was described as
| an attempt of influential citizens to
step into the breach and take the initia?
tive instead of lagging behind waiting
for governments to act to save Europe
l'rom chaos.
According to the French High Com?
mission, it was estimated at the begin?
ning of 1919 that France would receive
?i total of 8,240,000,000 francs. The
' increase of receipts over estimates was
i distributed as follows: Actual re
: ccipts from indirect taxes, 1,441,809,100
I francs larger than estimated; receipts
I from income tax, 33,500,000 francs
| greater than estimated; receipts from
; war profits taxes, 987,000,000 francs
: greater than estimated.
Moreover, the rate of increase grew
? hiro-pr d urine each auarter of 1919.
The increase of indirect taxes, inciuu- ?
ing state monopolies, amounted to j ;
3,155,000 francs in the first quarter, j i
351,341,300 francs in the second quar- ? !
ter 450,033,300 francs in the third j '
quarter and 037,379,500 in the fourth
quarter. The largest part of the lat- ,
ter group of taxes came from imposts f :
on commercial and private transac- : 3
tions, rather than state monopolies. '.

Tho market was Influenced by reports i
of a lirmcr spot basis, an Improved trade
demand and the reported statement of
Federal Reserve officials that no immedl- j
ate advance in discount rales ivas con- ?
tomplated. Yesterday's and Wednesday s ?
losses were regained. March contracta ?
sold up to 36.60c, compared with 35.58c. j
the low point of the previous day. and ]
closed at 36.60o, with tho general list
closing steady at a net advance of 40 to |
65 points.
The market was rather Irregular at
tho Btart, llrst prices being 15 points lower ?
to 13 points higher, with near months |
relatively easy in response to the cables, j
Liverpool was a seller at tho start, and ,
there was further scattering local or Wall ?
Street pressure which seemed to be con- ,
nected with the talk of tight money. Trade
interests were good buyers at the de- |
eline. however, and the market soon turned
firmer, with covering a little more active ;
In tho afternoon, when the market sold ;
about 54 to 75 points net higher. The j
close was within a few points of the j
best.
The trade buying here was accoirrpanicd !
by reports of a better demand for spots j
in the South, and Japanese interests were j
mentioned among the buyers. An early j
cable from Liverpool said the decline there i
?vas due to ?vire troubles on the (,'ontl- |
nent, with the market steadier later on a
reported settlement of railroad troubles.
Other advices reported a strike in the ?
telegraph department of the Belgian post
office, which suggested an explanation of !
the Liverpool advices, and Liverpool be- I
came a buyer here shortly after the open- '
Ing. A prominent London authority re- I
iterates an estimate of 11,700,000 bales,
including Unters, and estimates the world's
consumption of American for the season i
at 12,500,000 bales, which would BUggest
a decrease of 800.000 hales in the carry?
over.
The local spot market was steady and :
unchanged at 39.25c for middling up- i
?and, No sales were reported.

Wheat?The market for cash wheat In
the Northwest was five cents higher, mak?
ing an advance of 10 cents during the last
two days following the recent break of
25 cents. The local demand Is poor
and only moderate amounts of the lower
grades are being sold for export, while
the government has made no purchases
for the last three weeks. Canadian flour
Is being offered in the domestic markets
In considerable volume and within the
next .week or two Argentine flour is ex?
pected to arrive here, and if the quality
proves satisfactory quite a liberal business
with the Southern market is anticipated.
Advices from Chicago said that at a con?
ference between the vice-president of the
drain Corporation and leading elevator
interests, if was decided to use 70 per
cent of the grain cars coming Into tho
Chicago district to send wheat sold by
the Grain Corporation to the mills.
Com?The trade yesterday was puzzled
over the question of transport?t^ owing
to the new regulations in Chicago by which
70 per cent of the cars arriving there are
to be used for the shipment of wheat.
Some authorities construe this as bearish
on corn, on the theory that corn will be
allowed to come In freely, but there will be
few cars available for shipping It to the
East for distribution. Others, however,
took the stand that corn will be diverted
to outside points, while one authority, at
least, said that previously some of the
wheat elevators were taking 100 per cent
of the cars for wheat and that the new
regulations will provide more cars for
corn. At any rate, traders were divided
in their opinions, and after an early
decline the market rallied and closed with
net gains of %@%c.

Prices In the market yesterday wer?
firm, closing with net gains of 24 to 27
points. Offerings were not large, and
while tbo day's business consisted Cf
only 8,800 barrels, the buying was rather
more aggressive than selling, at least as
far as contracts were concerned. The cash
demand, however, was said to be quiet
and some, authorities were inclined to be
rather skeptical about present price levels
being maintained owing to the weakness
In exchange and the fact that prices for
other commodtttes^are beginning to attract
shipments from abroad, especially butter,
large sales of which have been made hero
by both Denmark and Argentina.
