Business News MORE talk was heard in banking circles yesterday of another increase in the Federal Reserve Bank rediscount rate on commercial paper. This step will probably be, taken, it was said, because of the continued inclination of borrowers to anticipate their financial needs several months ahead while rates are at their present levels. The increased demands of business for money was reflected in the outside market for commercial paper by heavier offerings of bills. The result was a higher tendency to the rate?as high as 6% per rent being asked for the better names. The bankers' acceptance market continued dull,, with buying rates unchanged. COTTONS?Retailers JSeed Goods but Buy Sparingly Retailers from other cities continue to buy finished cotton goods in this market, although the size of their pur? chases has diminished and their de? mands are mostly for goods to be de? livered within the next month or two. According to many converters these retailers and a few shirt manufacturers are about the only classes of merchants who are operating to any extent in the cotton goods markets. Buyers for the retail stores nearly all say that, they need new supplies of cotton goods badly, but that their merchandise man? agers have set strict limits on the ?mounts they a?e permitted to spend. Apparently the retailers, individually, have resolved to operate on a strictly hand-to-mouth basis in the future, or until such a time as the market is more Stabilized than at present. Demand for shirt materials is still atrong. with the converters and mills able to offer little in the way of madras, percale and other standard ma? terials. Sateens and other satin-faced ?-oods, mercerized, finished with a high fustre and printed in high color stripes, are being taken by the shirt manufacturers to substitute for silk, which has reached a price that many manufacturers btiieve will cause the public to refuse to buy when made up into garments. Importations of shirt materials, prin? cipally madrases, from England and Franco are increasing. American con? verters also are receiving good sup? plies of two-ply voiles from the Euro? pean markets, although much of this merchandise is said to be of poor quality, suitable only for printing pur? poses._ SILKS?Privo Cutting Spreads; Apparel Mfgrs. Offer Surpluses The opinion that the peak of prices has been reached and that recessions will continue for some time is slowly gaining ground in the silk trade. The alashing of prices by the small job? bers continues unabated and is grow? ing more marked if anything. Still further offerings of Roods at prices below the high market level reached by the end of last year, are coming from another quarter, the garment manufacturers, where the amount of goods held is difficult to determine, Some of the best informed silk manu? facturers state that the amount of foods heid by the jobbers or to be elivered to them within the next few months, together with the surplus stocks of manufacturers and their goods on order, form a considerable volume of merchandise, which will be thrown on the market if present con? ditions continue. Jobbers say that garment manufac? turers are offering them their surplus silks now and are even selling their iWders on mills for future delivery. Retailers are in the market picking up odd lots from the small ^jobbers who are liquidating their heavy stocks "XTheir purchases are small and con :'fined mostly to staple silks in dark colors, which can be carried over foi the fall season if necessary. Navy blu< is one of the strongest colors, followec "closely by browns and more blacks thar are usual at this time of the year. Ir some cases the little jobbers are hav ing their high colored silks redyed inte navy or black in response ,to the de? mand for dark shades. LE ATH E R?Man ufactu rers Curtail High-Shoe Output ? Manufacturers of women's shoe: have abandoned to a considerable ex ?ent the production of high shoes ant ^sji'e confining their factories to th< making of low-cut footwear. They hav< been influenced to manufacture lov shoes in large quantities, both becausi ?of the demand due to the prevailinj stylo and the fact that the oxford doe 'not require as much leather to produc as the high-top footwear. Several manufacturers, who dea only in women's shoes, asserted yes terday that they had virtually give up the making of high shoes for th "Hrac being. These manufacturers wer 'rfarsighted enough to purchase a cor Jsiderable quantity of leather when th ?jffrices wore lower than they are a present, and. as a result, have bee 'able to supply all retail customers froi this stock by making low shoes e> clusively. * The tendency on the part of the ptiV lie to purchase high shoes, especiall those with high heels, has shown slackening for several months. Uetai ers throughout the city are sacrificin considerable storks of these high shoe in order to make room for the low-ci footwear, which is finding an unusm ready sale. Production at present is about 70 pe cent of normal. Deliveries continu slow, and there is very little buying < spring boots for the Easter trade. Th lack of production in women's slippei is particularly marked because of th wooden heel strike which just ended i Haverhill, Mass., and caused a sh'or . age of wooden heels. A few manufacturers whoso plant were employed exclusively In turnin out men's shoes have changed to tl production of women's low-cut foo wear, because of the enormous deman In the tatter line for black and brow oxfords and the. consequent necessil for using sma.il quantities of leathe These manufacturers assert that me are more conservative than women, an ?re taking their worn shoes to the col bier's to bo repaired, while the ,vome throw them away and purchase ne k loot wear. f JEWELRY?Biwy Season For the Clock Industry Clock manufacturers are in the mid of the busiest season ever recorded the history of the industry. The d mestto demand, although record brea Ing, is fully equaled by tho many To ?Mgn Inquiries and orders being plac< in tho local market. Repr?sentatif ?a Canada, France, Arabia, Austral and Great Britain are In the mark at present. These buyers are willii to pay high prices to get prompt ?hi menta. One Canadian buyer is see ing to place orders for over $100,0 worth of clocks. Manufacturers, however, assert th the domestic orders come first. Th< factories ?re so overwhelmed wi orders for the home trade that t foreign orders will have to be le unattended for some time. Unfill orders alone, they explain, will ke< their plants well under way for over year. As many manufacturers la apring were compelled to take loss on orders accepted on the gu?rante? j>rice method, this plan has been r jected. Retailers complain that many sal? nf clocks are being lost simply b ?pause the manufacturer? cannot me< their requirements. Orders that wei placed early last year are only bein delivered now. Many of these tard deliveries mean money out of pock? for the manufacturers as the ordet vrere accepted at guaranteed prices. Manufacturers t?o not fear <: ? tompotition at this tima. Qsvkt? t the serious shortage of steel in that country clocks parts are very scarce and for that reason few time-piece* are being turned out in Germany at present. Although a number of clocks are seen in the local market from time to time these time-pices, accordine to manufacturers, were manufactured in Germany before the war and arc only being sold now. As German clocks were always cheaper than the Ameri? can makes dealers handling; the pre? war makes can afford to sell them at reduced prices. FURS?Strong Advances At Auction Side Trice advances, in moat cases exceed? ing those made at the sales last fall, were noted in several classes of furs t*old yesterday at the second day of the auction being conducted by the New York Fur Auction Sales Corpora? tion. The strongest advance was made in mink, which was held over from Mcndav's sale. Average prices bid for Northern and Southwestern skins ex? ceeded the average of last fall by 110 per cent. Marmot sold for 75 per cent more than last fall, stone marten 65 per cent, baum marten 15 per cent, marten 35 per cent, civet cat 30 per cent, and muskrat 65 per cent. These advances came on the top of increased prices paid last October, in comparison with the April (1919) sale. The advances made at the October sale on the furs sold yesterday were as fol? lows: Mink, 25 and 30 per cent; mar? mot, 60 per cent; stone marten, no change; baum marten, 25 per cent; marten, no change; civet cat, 35 per cent, and muskrat, 65 per cent. Ridding at the sale yesterday morn? ing was not as spirited as on the open? ing day. Poorer skin?, as a rule, brought bigger advances than the high grade pelts in each classification. Ad? vances* in mink and muskrat were be? low what several of the most optimis? tic dealers predicted. -.?.-???

Court Excludes Public to Keen German State Secrets BERLIN, Feb. 17.?A sensational turn was given the trial of the libel case of Mathias Erzberger, Minister of Finance, against former Vice Chan? cellor Karl HelfFericii yesterday. The commercial treaty with Rumania came up for consideration by the court and added much to the interest taken in the case. Herr Erzberger asked that the public be excluded in view of the possibility that state secrets might be discussed. After retiring for fifteen minutes to consider the Minister's motion, the court returned and ordered spectators out of the room, not even Dr. Helf ferich's private stenographers being permitted to remain.

J Clothiers Hear Plea to Check Price Raising Manufacturers' Convention Asked lo ?Guarantee Cost to Retailer for Definite Period at Start of Season Suggestion Is Opposed Present Trade Wages High? est ^ Paid Except Iron, Steel and Auto Industries Much of the discussion nt the open? ing of the annual convention of the National Association of Clothiers (manufacturers) at the Hotel Astor yesterday revolved about the guaran? teed price policy. The suggestion was made by William Goldman, of Cohen, Goldman & Co., that the manufacturers of men's clothing take steps to stabilise the market by guaranteeing their prices quoted to rctuilers at the beginning of each season for a definite period. In the event of a declino in the price of raw materials ?fr ?n labor, enabling the manufacturer to produce his goods on a lower basis than at the price specified in the order given him by the retailer, this saving should be passed on, according to Mr. Goldman. "I offer this suggestion," said Mr. Goldman, "to prevent a recurrence of the price cutting and demoralization immediately following the armistice. A guaranteed price will give the retailer more confidence in the murket. It also 1 prevent the raising of the price following the taking of an order, a policy which was initialed in ?his mar? ket during the last fall season, and which was disastrous, in the opinion of most of the men here." Guaranteed Price Opposed Opposition to Mr. Goldman's sugges? tion was offered, and the debate con? tinued for some time, but finally was dropped without definite action. Tho majority of those present appeared to favor the suggestion. Upon the suggestion of Ludwig Stein, vice-president of B. Kuppenheimer & Co., Chicago, and president of the as? sociation, a motion was carried to con? fer with the woolen and worsted goods manufacturers upon the proposal to show their goods for subsequent sea? sons earlier that at.present in order to give tho clothing manufacturers an op? portunity to bejrin their seasonal work earlier than they do now. The plan is to get the cloth pro? ducers to show winter goods, for in? stance, as early as November or De? cember of the year preceding that in which the goods are to be made up imd sold. M present the winter cloth openings take place in February. The clothing manufacturers want to begin their seasons earlier and run them later in order to come nearer to a twelve months' production in their factories, and so eliminate seasonal woik, one of the bones of contention with the labor in the trade. According to Mr. Stein the earlier showing of cloth is not opposed by the mill men. "William Wood, president of the American Woolen Company," he said, "listened to the proposition?when 11 broached it to him recently.'^ Discuss Labor Problems Labor problems were discussed only ] lightly. It was agreed that the prices j at which next fall's clothing will be offered the retailer in April depend largely on any new agreement that can be made with the labor unions in the trade. A joint conference between manufacturers and the union, at which it is expected some agreement will be reached, is scheduled for early next month. Present wages in the clothing trade, according to Mr. Stein, are ex? ceeded only by those in the iron and steel and automobile industries. At the morning session a motion was carried after much discussion to ap? point a committee to draft plans for an educational advertising campaign to acquaint ultimate consumers with the reasons for the high cost of clothing. A sum of $60,000 will be expended for this purpose. The cooperation of the retailers will be solicited. "It is our duty as manufacturers," said Mr. Stein, "to help the retailers dispose of their stocks of spring clothing. They bought freely at prices fully 40 per cent above | those of last year, and we must help them sell these goods at a profit." There will be another session of the convention this morning and the clos? ing meeting will be held to-night. French Reparations Chief Resign?; No Successor .Name?!
