COTTONS?Buyers Seek Ginghams for Next Spring Buyers are showing great interest in foo? ?- ?nd ?birt?P.K8 for spring, 1921, according to selling agents, who are preparing to show their lines in the near future. It is asserted that buyers are ready to place orders now, and it is understood that some business has been booked on memorandum, awaiting the official display of samples and the naming of prices. The interest in ging? hams apparently is confined to the jobbing trade. One concern is said to have shown ginghams for next spring to the garment manufacturing trade without arousing interest, but jobbers who found out that samples were beinir shown importuned the seller to book orders. One of the largest printing concerns m the country will open its percales and madras lines for next spring with? in the next week. Prices are still to be determined. Baaed on present quo? tations of 80 squares in the gray or unfinished state, fine shirtings will show a considerable advance over last quotations. Several large jobbers of dry goods from other cities were in the market yesterday, but were said to be seeking information concerning present condi? tions rather than merchandise. From their conversation with selling agents they are more interested in the general financial situation than anything else. It is understood that their local bank? ers are urging greater caution in for? ward operations than ever before. SILKS?Demand for ISarrotc Ribbons Increasing Manufacturers of blouses and under? wear are buying more narrow ribbons for decorations on the garments they produce, according to whole ribbon houses here. Until the present week trade in ribbons has been dull. The advent of warm weather, sellers assert, is responsible for the increased de? mand for ribbons. Sales of narrow washable ribbons to retailers also are picking up. Salesmen on the road re? port that the washable business is growing at the expense of the wider ribbons. Retailers apparently are suf? fering from a lack of demand for wide ribbons for hair decoration. The high price of wide silk ribbons, retailers say, has led schoolgirls to discard hair ribbons. The swing from silk to cotton un? dergarments, because of the extromely high price of the former, has brought about a stimulated demand for wash? able silk ri. bons, to add the luxurious touch to the cotton garments. This trend also is noted in retail circle?, where women are buying sheer cottons and making their own underwear to a greater extent than for some years past. Millinery ribbons are in slight de? mand at present, but sellers are con? fident that the inaugural of the sum? mer millinery season next month will bring out a demand for ribbons of all sorts to be used in decorating the cot? ton and silk crepe hats. LE.4THER?Shortage of Skins Hampers Glove Trade Owing to the. shortage of higli grade sheepskins a large number of glove makers in this country have be<en forced to curtail their output. The chief cause of this shortage is the lack of tonnage available for shipments from South Africa, which has been the prin? cipal source of supply since the war stopped shipments of capeskins from Serbia.

Fear is expressed that unless im? mediate steps are taken to increase the supply of capeskin leathers fur-1 ther curtailment of factory operations will be necessary. Manufacturers as? sert that there are unlimited stocks of second grade glove leather available, but declare them unsuitable for the manufacture of high grade gloves. Op? timists in the trade, however, are of the opinion that with the ending of the leather workers' strike in France some shipments will soon be forthcom? ing. Supplies of fancy glazed leathers used in making gloves have also been short for over a year. Some of the large manufacturers, especially those in the Eastern states, have found it difficult to obtain enough of that sort of leather to keep up their output. As soon as improvement is shown in shipping facilities it is expected that larger quantities of sheep skins, which go into the production of fancy glazed glovemaking, will come from Australia and Argentina. JEWELRY?Retailers Receive Large Orders for Easter Goods With the approach of Easter retailers are receiving large orders for religious goods. Gold anil pearl rosaries and various types of metal boxes to carry these articles now are selling freely, with the demand mostly for the higher priced goods. Some of the rosary cases in the show windows are incrusted with pearls and other stones and retail as high as $100. Crucifixes also are being bought in large numbers, with excep-?. tional articles of this class selling at $200 to $350. Little medals in platinum mounted with rubies and diamonds and with onxy and diamonds are marketed at prices ranging up to $500 each. Book? marks for prayer books, made of silk ribbon with gold or silver decorations, are among the other articles that are meeting: with a seasonable (Jemand. Shortage of material and the acute labor situation have so reduced jewelry sample assortments carried by travel? ing salesmen that many retail jewel? ers are coming direct to this city to make their purchases. As a rule jewel? ry dealers do not visit the market at fixed periods, but the unusual condi? tions prevailing are bringing them hero in large numbers. Although the general demand in the jewelry trade is for the better grade and higher priced articles, manufac? turers of novelty jewelry declare their business is greatly in excess of that of other years. Retailers also are asking for the better quality of fancy bead necklaces, metal and bead combination necklaces and imitation pearls. FURS?Specially Pells Advance at Canadian Sale Reports from the Canadian fur auc? tion now in session at Montreal indi? cate that the high class specialty furs are bringing prices in advance of those ruling at the winter auctions in New York and St. Louis. Buyers at the sale are said to have figured Canadian marten priced at 15 to 20 per cent above the recent American sale prices, cross foxes at 25 to 30 per cent and silver fox at 30 per cent. Some Ameri? can buying of silver fox and marten was noted. Trices of cross foxes were considered too high by American buy? ers and the best skins went to the Canadians. The best cross fox pelt? brought $200 and the finest silver foxes $850. Mctcalf, Harry J.?Glmbel Eros., New York. 136.90 Mayer, Chas. II. ? Falrchtld <fc Sons Inc . 187.11 Neubauer, Harold A.?E. L.

In anticipation of the dividend ac? tion of the General Motors directors at yesterdcy's meeting speculation in the old common stock has been the most sensational seen in Wall Street since the days of the "war brides" in the 1915 and 1916 bull market. ?Starting less than a month ago below tho 300 the ?stock advanced on Wednesday to 410, a new high price. An example of the feverish gyrations of the old stock was furnished in yes terday,'s market. Around 1 o'clock the price advanced to 382 and ten minutes later it had dropped back to 367, with another advance before the close to 384, where a net gain of eighteen points was shown over Wednesday's last sale.

Captain Coughlin, chief of Brooklyn detectives, took charge. The dead man on the hed was one of two Italians who had engaged the room on Monday from Mrs. Parker. They paid $4.50 in advance and that was about all that Mrs. Parker could tell about thorn. In the fifteen or twenty minutes that had flapsed between the breaking of | the window and the arrival of the j policeman the second man bad van- ! isheil. He had no: jumped from the I window If he had the deep imprint j of his feet in the soft **od of the yard ? would have been plain to see. The only other means of exit was the door which Dr. Campisi's body had jammed so nearly shut that the slen? derest of men could not have squeezed through the remaining aperture. One theory advanced by the police was that the two men had rented the room with the intention of luring Dr. Campisi there to rob him, that he had put up a fight when attacked and had succeeded in strangling one of his as? sailants to death. The other robber, according to xhis hypothesis, got in a fatal blow with his blackjack just a3 he was making his escape through the door and the physician fell dead, clos? ing the door behind his assailant in his fall. Slain to Conceal Crime Another theory was that the two men living in the room had a light, in the course of which one of them was choked to death. His companion, frightened and perhaps contrite, sum? moned Dr. Campisi, who pronounced the man dead and was, in turn, killed by the murderer to prevent his giving the alarm. A suggestion that Dr. Campisi wai ; the victim of feudists or Viackmailers i was repudiated by his brother, who: said that he had devoted his entire time to neighborhood practice which pai'd little, if at all, and had not an '. enemy in the world. The brother could not remember anything distinctive \ about the appearance of the man'who j had delivered the fatal summons to Dr. Campisi. The. physician had not been robbed. I His gold watch, scarfpin and money : were untouched. His brother said that j he never carried much money with him, a fact which weakens the theory of the police that the murderer and his accomplice had engaged the room Monday with the deliberate intention of luring Dr. Campisi there to rob him. Nothing was found in the pockets of the dead man on the bed to identify him. His features were of the Italian I type. A label in his coat bore the name of a tailor in Elizabeth, N. J. A name on the coat label was deci? phered as "J. Falcon." A bottle of medi- ; cine on a shelf which Mrs. Parker was certain had not been in the room when the two men engaged it had the name "J. Valio" written on it. Dr. Campisi was thirty-one years old, 'was born in Italy and came to the United States when he was five years old. He was married about two years ago, and had a fourteen-months-old daughter. He had lived in the Williamsburg sec? tion of Brooklyn for many year?. He was graduated from the Long Island Medical College five years ago. Most of his patienta were Italians. ? ?-???

Former Cabinet Officer Says One Person in Three Has $600 in Savings Banks as Proof of His Statement William C. Redfield, former Secretary of Commerce, in the course of a discus? sion of "Soifie Unseen Phases of Cur? rent Events," before the Thirty-fourth Street Board of Trade at a luncheon in the Pennsylvania Hotel yesterday, de? clared the popular supposition that the present cost of living was proving a burden upon the people of the com? munity was untrue. The former Cabinet member offered savings bank figures of New York State to support his optimistic belief that the people never before were so pros? perous as they are now. . "Let us get rid of a lot of talk about suffering from the high cost of living," he said. "One out of three persons in this state, young and old, has $500 and $600 in savings banks to-day." The fact that a new group of spend? ers has arisen?a group having "extra? ordinarily large incomes"?and that "they are spending with a lavishness' hitherto unknown," cannot outweigh the economic facts supplied by the sav? ings bank statistics, he declared. These statistics showed, he said, that about $-25,000,000 was saved by the people of this state last year, meaning an average daily total deposit of $750,000. "No wonder the Superintendent of Banks should say that these results are aston? ishing," he added. Disagreement with Mr. Redfield's views was expressed by Edward Percy Howard, president of the New York Press Club, who spoke on "The Respon? sibility of Citizenship." "In spite of Mr. Redfield's optimistic thought," he said, "everything ;is not alright with us to-day. The plain man may be prosperous and have money in the bank, but if you consult him he will tell you that it will cost him more than he has on savings account to die." Mr. Howard denounced what he termed an exploitation of the press by publicity-seeking business concerns. "The time has come," he declared, "when a business institution has got to come out in the open and advertise 100 per cent correctly. The use of the dark, rear door of publicity is hurtin? the ethacs of clean advertising, and the paper so exploited is hurt even more." -, Army Orders From Th.- Tribune's Washington, Bureau WASHINGTON, March 25.?Army orders issued to-day follow: Honorably Discharged Hirschberg, Capt.

Women Renew Attack On Daly as Lobbyist Only Vague and General Deni? als of Charges Made, Says Mrs. Norris From a Staff Correspondent ALBANY, March 25.?The New York | State League of Women Votera renewed its attack to-day on Mark A. Daly, the Buffalo lobbyist, for his alleged activi? ties in blocking the passage of the health insurance, the minimum wage and eight-hour day for women and other so-called welfare bills in the Assembly. Mrs. Gordon Norris, first vice-chair? man of the league and chairman of the committee which drafted the report about Daly's activities, issued a state? ment which read in part: "The executive board of the New York State( League of Women Voters wishes to call the attention of the pub? lic to the fact that the truth of our charges against the Daly lobby and propaganda, the New York League of Americanism and the activities of the Lusk committee is virtually admitted. "We presented our report to the Gov? ernor Monday and sent copies to mem? bers of the Senate and Assembly. Up to the present only vague and general denials have been made. "Senator Lusk says our report Is 'all bunk,' but does not tell us how the imprint of the Lusk committee came to be used over publicity matter concern? ing the welfare bills or containing praise of himself and Speaker Sweet. Neither does Senator Lusk explain what funds, public or private, paid for such publicity. "Mark A. Daly, general secretary and legislative agent for the Associated Manufacturers and Merchants, calls our statement 'maliciously untrue.' Mr. Daly does not tell us why he repre? senting a group so small as the Asso? ciated Manufacturers and Merchant?, exerts so powerful an infiuencp in the | Legislature." -. Sterling Exchange Has Big Advance ! Sterling exchange, which has been j moving upward all month, yesterday ; climbed to the highest level reached ! since last December. At the close of ' trading cables on London were quoted I at $3.3750, compared with $3.19 early) in February. j In foreign exchange circles bankers j attribute the rise in sterling to an ef? fective curtailment of imports from the United States in recent weeks and j to an increase in exports. Many who take a pessimistic view of the Gonti- | nental exchanges, nevertheless feel op? timistic about the future course of sterling in foreign money markets. The impetus for the upward movement of? sterling came from rumors and an? nouncements in connection with the Anglo-French loan of $500,000,000, which will come due on October 15. The statement of the British Chancel? lor of the Exchequer that the loan would be paid off and no' renewed and reports that cold would be shipped Westward across the Atlantic Ocean for this purpose have helped the rise of the pound. Bankers attributed the weakness of sterling during the exchange panic earlier in the year largely to the pur? chase of pounds by Continental debt? ors to settle their acounts in the 1 United States. In tho last few days i there has been heavy selling of the ] Continental currencies, notably lire,* in | London to meet maturing obligations there. The pressure was lessened yes? terday, and Belgian and French francs rose, but lire were still easy. The rise of sterling yesterday, amounting to nearly four cents a pound, was accompanied by reports j that gold shipments from Great Brit? ain to New York were imminent. Brok ere who were impressed with these ru? mors called attention to the fact that the Bank of England statement showed a loss of $12,500,000 of gold in the last week, and assumed that some of this had been shipped across the'Atlantic. m Carpets Higher Next Month Leading carpet mills are preparing to issue new price lists for fall cor pets and rugs, effective ^pril 1.

A Republicans Draft Own Plan to Cut" Waste at Albany Program to Take Place of Measures Urged by Smith Expected to Pass Just Before the Session Closes i From a Staff Correspondent ALBANY, March 25. ? Republican legislative leaders are now planning a program of reconstruction legislation to take the place of the measure? rec? ommended by Governor Smith. Sp?eak?r Sweet, Majority Leader J. Henry Walters of the. Senate and others have already held several conferences. They have found a widespread senti? ment throughout the state for greater simplification of departments and com? missions to stop waste and end the bulkiness of the present state govern? ment. This sentiment was crystallized this week at the hearing on the Gibbjs reconstruction measures. Prominent Republicans, among them Judge Alphonse T. Clearwater, of Kingston, and Frederick C. Tanner, for? mer state chairman, and representa? tives of business bodies from all over the state appeared for them. Tanner and Clearwater were the chief ex? ponents of these measures in the state constitutional convention in 1915. It is expected that the ?passage of the re? construction bills will be one of the last, acts of the Legislature. One of the immediate results of thi proposed legislation will be consolidfb tion of several state commissions, which can be done by a legislative act, trif bodies not being constitutional. Sen? ator Sage has introduced a measure to consolidate the State Engineer's office with Superintendent of Public Works, which will be part of the plan. Governor Smith's plan called for the reduction of all state departments to about nineteen, an executive budget, the short ballot, and extending the Governor's term of office from two to four years. Most of these result! would have to be. brought about by con? stitutional amendments. The Repub? licans are not likely to lengthen th? Governor's term of office, but are seri? ously considering the executive budget As for the short ballot, they will prob? ably favor making the State Treasurer?, State Engineer and Secretary of Stat? appointive instead of electivo offices, and providing that only the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, Comptroller and Attorney General be elected. Gov? ernor ?Smith would have only the first three elected. The Legislature is now hustling ur> its business to get away April 24. A resolution tentatively fixing the ad? journment date as April 17 will be in? troduced next week. Speaker Sweet de? clared that the rules committee would take charge of all legislation on April 5, and urp;ed the standing committee}! to be able to make their final reports before that time.
