COTTOXS?Shipping Delays Stimulate Spot Goods Demand Delays in shipments of goods by mills, occasioned by the bad weather and railroad tie-ups, have sent several converters and jobbers into the prim? ary markets in search of fabrics for immediate use. This is the explanation that these merchants offer for the firm and rising tone in the primary markets. Most of the orders they have placed within the last week have been for ??ing-in purposes, thoy say, and arc not based on an expected future rise m the market. Because of thefr well sold condition or their unwillingness to take orders ht prosent, the larger milis are holding to top prices for all kinds of goods, with the exception of the extreme low : ends. According to T>rokers the lowest ? prie?; of standard 64?GO gray print j cloths, is 24 cents for spot goods I ranging down to 21 Va for goods to be! delivered in August. Afew large orders for late summer delivery were placed I in the gray goods market recently, but | these have not been taken by tho trade j as indications of a resumption of buy- , ing far into tho future. FH.KS?Hmv Fiber Too High, Manufacturers Say veral manufacturers of silk goods j yesterday declared that raw silks will have to drop below $12 a pound be-: fere thoy can go ahead with production l of fall merchandise. Most of the broad silka now on the market or coming i through the mills op order,, it is said, ? ate made of raw stock that did not \ cost over that price, and yet buyers, i it is declared, have shown a disposi- ' tion to pass up these goods. One l&rgo producer, in discussing the situation i yesterday, said: "Raw silk of average grade to-day is held at $14 a pound. If we cannot sell goods based on $12 silk now, it is plain , that we ear.net sell goods based on $14 . silk. We have simply run up against i a dead end." In -pito of a minimum amount of1 trading in the raw silk market, prices arc being well maintained around $14 ? ;. Some manufacturers assert that holders of raw silks have made ?uch large profits in the past that they ar financially alie to carry their: product indefinitely. With the trade; fe< ing that even $12 is a high figure, and the demand for siik goods running ? ght, it is the feeling in some quar- : tera of the trade the situation is re- i ;. ng itself into a vailing war be-| tween the raw silk men and the im- ' porters or holders of raw silk, on one ? hand, and the goods manufacturers on the ether.

LEATHER?Retailers Order Luggage for Summer Trade Retailers are now in the market for i leather suitcases and travelling bags ! for the summer trade, which they ex | pect will bo greatly in excess of last ; year. At the present time they are not doing much, but during tho last year they have sold more bags than in any previous year, despite the fact that prices on the average have been ab.out 200 per cent higher than in 1914. It is impossible, they say, to buy a good leather bag now much under $20, and oven so, the consumer, as a rule, is looking for a better grade article. Sales of cheap imitation leather bags have also increased, but there is a marked reduction in the call for tho moderate priced article. Trunks nave increased close to 200 per cent in price during the last few years, but there has been no apparent diminuation in the sbIcb. Prices have not advanced greatly during the last few months, dealers say, but the labor situation is so unsettled that no proph? ecies can bo made on the future trend of costs. JEWELRY?Importer Receives Large Lot of Diamonds One of the largest importers of pre? cious stones yesterday received a con? signment of rough diamonds valued at about $475,000, exclusive of duty charges. This is one of the largest shipments received here in some time, but it is not expected^to have any great influence on tho present situa? tion in the diamond-cutting business. Cutters of precious stones find it dif? ficult to obtain enough material to work on and several of the smaller concerns are said to be closed, or working only part time. This condition is reflected in the diamond-setting branch of the jewelry industry. Diamond ring manu? facturers have more orders on hand tiitii they can fill, owing to the short age of stones. The scarcity of diamonds is not a new condition, but it is holding greater interest in the general jewelry in? dustry every day. Since the latter part of 191?', when complete control of the world's supply of the precious gems passed into the hands of the British syndicate, the scarcity of diamonds has been most acute and local importers attribute the shortage to the lack of skilled workmen in the De Beers South African mines. All branches of the jewelry trade are working to capacity. Concerns spe? cializing in wedding rings are re? ceiving large orders from retailers in ; anticipation of the customary June de? mand for this line. One manufacturer I stated yesterday that the sale of the carved ''ing has by no means ap- ? proached that of the staple plain band, l?e said that his company sells about 10,000 rings a week, and that only 200 or 000 are of the carved variety. The demand for the latter comes chiefly j from that class of trade desiring some- j thing fancy made up in platinum. rnve skirts; Theo Lussler, linens, domestics. white Roods, blankets; 2 West Thirtv ?-?-'?? nth Street; Associated Dry Gonds Co BUFFALO?I.

Co mm< Cotton The European politloal new? encouraged the optlmtlstlo views which had developed In the market on Monday afternoon and led to a renewal of the buying move? ment yesterday. All the old crop months touched new high prices for the move? ment, but after selling up to 87.440 for May met lnoreased offerings, which caused reactions. May eased off to 37.02o, or about 7 points net lower, and closed at 37.22c, with -the general list closing net 13 points higher to 15 points lower, ex? cept for April, whloh was 12.5 points higher. April has been an inactive month, with the prloe nominally quoted around the May level, but tho purchase of one lot yesterday sent It up to nearer a parity with the spot position. The market opened firm at an advance of 7 to 29 points and sold 19 to 35 points net higher during the early trading. Liverpool and bro'cers with Japanese trade connections were sellers on the advance, but there was a good demarnl from domestic tra.'.o Interests for May, while scattered buying was en courngeil by the advance in sterling exchange and the firm early tone of the stock market. Both March and May made now high records, but offerings showed a tendency to increase as May approached the 87 Vio level, and the market turned easier ?luring the early afternoon under profit-taking. Prospects for the rains In the Eastern belt failed to bring th much fresh buying of new-crop months, which wore relatively easy during the entire day, but closing prices showed rallies of several points on covering. There was evidently a feeling yesterday that near months had reached prices which might bring some cotton Jiere from the South, but the time Is short to ship for delivery on March and the proposition Is complicated by the strike of longshore? men. The local spot market was steady and unchanged at 41c for middling upland. No sales were reported. The range of prices follows: Monday's Open. High. Low. Close. close.

Cereals Wheat?Offers of wheat have increased materially during the last few days ami houses, which a short time ago had no wheat for sale, now appear to be in a posi? tion to make ofTers of a number of gradea and at prices 3 to 5 cents a bushel under the levels at which exporters were willing to buy last week. Duluth was offering Lurum wheat here at 12.67, while NTo. 2 red was available nt the same price and N'O. 3> red at $2.64. There was some export Inquiry, hut buyers' views on prices were below a working basin. Exporters said that one reason for the lower prices here was S hat the Atlantic coast markets had been above a parity with the Gulf and that a redjustment was taking place. Un? der a recent change in regulations in Great Britain, Individual buyers can now make purchases through the export trade hero, which is another move toward normal coa? litions. Sellers here, however, have rained some objection to the form of contract idoptod abroad, and a meeting of the grain trade will be held on Thursday, when tic contract will be discussed and. It was said, that protests will be made against the present form. The milling demand for wheat was again slow on account of the dullness in the flour trade, and prices In the Minneapolis market for cash wheat were unchanged with the undertone slight? ly easier. Corn?-The market was strong yesterday and prices experienced early gains of SVi to 3?4c The May position in Chicago sold at $1.56%, or within 5%c of the previous high record, while all the later months made new highs for the season. There was a partial reaction toward the .lose, hut final figures were 2 ;V, to 2%c net higher. The advance was based largely on continued small receipts, e3. pecially at Chicago, and on reporta that snippers mere will be furnished 300 cars daily to move corn to the East.

Love Suit Truce Fails Action Brought by Miss Phipps Set for Early Trial The settlement for $3,625, tentatively agreed opon in the breach of promise suit of Miss Mary Lillian Phipps, of Tesneck, against William Russell Smith, of Tenafly, was abandoned in the Circuit Court at Hackensack, N. J., yesterday and trial of the case set for an early hearing by Judge Cutler. Prosecutor A, C. Hart, counsel for Smith, informed the court the agree? ment failed when Irving Van Loan and his wife, uncle and aunt of Miss Phipps, refused to sign a release in Smith's suit against them, alleaging conspiracy. Miss Phipps, whose father is a New York inventor, lives with the Van Loans. ? m Summer Season in Millinery To Open Up May 3) Retail millinery stores throughout < the country will be asked to inau- ; jjurate a summer season during the week beginning May 3. At a special ? meeting of the Millinery Chamber of ; Commerce yesterday this date was, de cided upon by manufacturers, whole salers and retailers. In wholesale cir- ! cles the summer season will be insti- I tuted on April 19. The setting of definite dates for sea- ! son inaugurals is the result of the four seasons movement, which has gained considerable strength in the miliinery trade recently. The summer 3eason was evolved last year. Its object was to foster the wearing of distinctly summer milli? nery during the heated mouths and to withhold the showing of velvet and heavier fabric hats until a more sea? sonable date. Arrangements arc being made by the trade to stimulate competition among retailers in window displays and ad? vertising when the summer season opens up. A portion of a fund now being raised will be appropriated for prizes. National adv - -using will be supplemented by reta.?er advertising with the aid of the national body. ? ? To Make Test of Standardized Silk Fabrics First steps in this country toward producing standardized fabrics for women's wear were taken yesterday, when the Stehli Silks Corporation signed a contract to produce three grp.des of taffeta and three grades of messaline which will be used in the manufacture of petticoats. Thes? garments will be sold to consumers who pledge themselves to keep an ac? curate record of the wearing qualities of the silk and return the petticoats when worn out, for final tests. The silk company agreed to make the fabrics for the Central Committee on Textile Standardization of the Home Economics Society, which, ac? cording to Mrs. Ellen .McGowan, chair? man of the committee, intends to de? velop standardized fabrics in several branches of the textile industry. About 2,000 yards of the material will be made as a first test to be turned over to petticoat manufacturers about May 15. Approximately 1,000 petticoats will be made and sold by the commit? tee through mail orders. Mrs. Mc? Gowan expects the petticoats to*give serviceable wear for a year or a year and a half. French Textile Workers Strike A cablegram received from Paris yesterday states that a general strike of textile workers in the Roubaix Tourcoing region has been called, seri? ously affecting; the entire textile in? dustry of France. The striking min? ers of the Pas de Calais Department have resolved to continue the strike, and those of the Nord Department may follow the movement. Mexico to Stop Hide Exports Cable advices were received yester? day from Nogales, Mexico, to the pf fc-ct that the order prohibiting the ex? port of cattle hides and goatskins from Mexico will be enforced from May 1, 1920. *- ?
