The men's clothing industry, from

Silk Irado More Active
Revision of Prices Brings Out
Retailers
Some of the largest silk manufac?
turers are distributing a considerable
quantitj ? E m< rchandise through small
orders to retailers now in the market.
? -y appearance in some of the
rday was in sharp con
tra-!- to sc ties in other selling places
01 m th? ? ma a few weeks ago.
According to buyers, a few of the
trade lea lers have revised their prices
to a basis where purchasing looks at?
tractive to retailers. Present business,
however, is confined to goods for im?
mediate and nearby use. Some manu?
facturers believe 'that this basis of
trading will continue well into next
month, and from it will grow a normal
for future delivery.
The important thing about the pres
ket, according to sellers, is the
fact thai goods can be sold when prices
??re made attractive enough to the buy?
ers.
hatching Shoe Demand
? retailers are throwing out%
feelers" to 1 ?? public to test the con?
sumer' idea ?Jti prices for fall. Little
"as been done in the way of advertis?
ing, but fall shoes have been placed in
?in tow displays along with price tags
and a careful watch ia being kept on
developments.
?^o Tar little actual resistance to
Quoted prices has been felt. One re
tailer r? ports ;? good business on a con
. ?ervative wing tip high shoe for
| women in brown and black calfskin,
u'ailing at $12.60 n pair. Only scatter?
ing business has been reported on the
few novelties that have been shown
so far.
While retailers are loath to make
Predictions concerning fall business,
r;1' of the leading midtown shoe mer?
chants feels that conservative plain
models at prices ranging from $10 to
1 $14 will prove to be the best selling
^umbers this fall. The trend toward
'modified round toes, 3Ms inch vamps
? and military, walking and Cuban heels,
?s opposed to the French heels, is dis?
tinctly marked in full models for women
?hown so far.
Seeking Cotton Goods Trade
The cotton goods trade as a wholo
?Ppears to be going after business
much harder than it was a few weeks
aRo. Some of the factors who were
inclined to held back, awaiting a buying
rally that would put prices up a bit,
?vid?ntly have tired of the waiting
process and uve now inclined to quote
Prices that will act as a magnet to
ouyers. Some of tho -retailer? and job?
bers who are now in the market are
canvassing the trade in a thorough
manner, picking tip odd lots of mer?
chandise hero and there. Many of them
assert that good bargains are offered
for cash or on short terms, indicating
that the pressure for money is one of
the chief factors in depressing prices
lust now. The competition that is be?
ing offered from the small fry in the
trade has stirred some of the larger
operators to meet low prices in an
effort to hold their old customers.
Cash Brings Merchandise
Offers of cash, in tno experience of
one large retail ?-oncem, now bring a
flood of desirabi* merchandise at low
trices. The concern in question.
located in the West, is now making ex?
tensivo purchases for a large safe to
be conducted in the near future. In
response to advertising, it has had a
fsteady stream of snlosmom calling at
its New York office with lines of all
sorts of merchandise which can be
bought at advantageous prices. "From
our experience,", said an official of the
company yesterday, "there is no short?
age of merchandise in this market in
ci)y line, and most sellers are willing
to make concessions if real purchasing
is in sight."

o
Company Draws Out
Of Sogar Market
Action Taken to Mean That
Further Reductions in
Prices Are Anticipated:;
Small Stock Unloaded
The American Sugar Refining Com?
pany, the largest refiners of sugar in
the United States, announced their
withdrawal from the sugar market yes?
terday. The notion caused much com?
ment in New York sugar circles, as it
has a particular interest all the way
down the line to the most plebeian
sugar bowl.
The withdraws?! ?s taken to mean that
the greatest refiners of sugar anticipate
further reduction of prices to such an
extent that it would bo inadvisable to
sell the product, to wholesalers for
future delivery at prevailing rates.
Rock bottom sugar pricey yesterday
remained at 17 cents per pound to the
wholesaler, v.-!;.", of course, must make
his profit along with the grocer.
Among firms quoting this price were
the Federal Sugar Company of New
York and the McCahn Company, o?'
Philadelphia. Arbuckle Bros. were
holding their price one-tenth of a cent
higher,
As a resuit of lowered prices dur?
ing the hist ton days, large refiners
have experienced almost overwhelming
cancellation of orders from all parts
of the country. The American Refin?
ing Company did not enter into the
general slashing competition when
?rbuckle Brothers started the move?
ment some days ago. The attitude of
this most important firm was watched
with interost. It's announcement yes?
terday was: "The American .Sugar Re?
fining Company is withdrawn from the
market, but is continuing to complote
delivery of undelivered contraer..-."
Hough to u Indicted on
Mrs. Birch's Charges
Realty Broker Collapses in
Court on Bfing Informed
of (?rand Jury's Action
When informed that a bench war?
rant had hi en issued on an indict?
ment returned by the grand jury,
Magistrate Max Levine, in the West
Side Court, yesterday discharged Her?
bert II. Houghton, a real estate broker,
of 200 West Seventy-second Street, who
was (.here to answer to a charge of at?
tempted assault. Detectives Manning
:sr..! Moore immediately arrested Hough
ton and hurried him to the Court of
General Sessions, where Judge Mc
Intj re held him- in $1,000 bail. The
indictment charges attempted criminal
assault iu th.e first degree and assault
sss the second degree.
Houghton wYs arrested August 8 on
ci tiplainl of Mrs. Helen Birch, a widow,
of 274 West S< ? enty-firs Str< ?t. M rs.
Birch rented her present apartment
through Houghton & Co. On Augusl G
she received a phono call telling her
that there was another apartment for
rent and that she probably would ne
mor? pleased with it. Shu says she
met Houghton at ."> p. m. and went
with him to .a house on Seventy-third
Street. She alleges that when Hough?
ton conducted her to a room upstairs
he made ? iolent love to her
Houghton collapsed in court when
told ?hat the indictment had been re?
turned against him and that he was to
be taken to Gener ! Se ?sion s. He is
powerfully built and is more than six
feet tall.
He enters'?! a plea of not guilty"
through his attorney, John F, Minton
jr., but reserved the right until next,
Friday of changing the plea or making
