20 SILK GOODS FINDING ICO m SALE Strife in China Unlikely to Be Felt Here—Woolens Also in Demand. BY J. C. HOYLE. Special Pispaloh (n Tlie Sl»r. . NKW YORK. September 3—The civil strife which is now goingr on in China does not seem likely to ha-ve any extended effect on the silk situa tion in America even should the great port of Shanghai be tied up by armed conflict. The better grades of Canton silks are fairly strong in price, but American manufacturers will be called on to face no serious shrink age. The Japanese varieties have also shown marked firmness due in part to unfavorable weather affecting the mulberry trees in the island em pire. But the real factor in the eilk situation is the improvement in de mand for manufactured goods. Demand Much Improved. This has been- more pronounced in the silk trade than in either the cot ton or woolen industries. It has been felt especially by broad silk makers tt hos* orders in some instances have necessitated capacity operation of tboir mills. The strike of silk work ers at Paterson over the number of looms each worker is expected to look after has been instrumental in keep ing down output there. Although about 2.000 workers are said to have gone bark to work some mills still ' are closed. Mills that have specialized in line j satins, failles and bengalines in all silk or silk and wool mixtures arc) in such demand that some mills have j been unable to till orders, while the | call for crepes has been steady. The causes which have produced this sit- j nation have included better weather i selling conditions and other factors, j but some experts place special stress I *on color. Colors \ itul For top. Industry, they say. especially that I part of it catering to women, is de- ; pendent to a great extent on style ! changes for the market ability of j its goods. Style of any garment or I fabric is dependent on three factors, texture, life and color. Color, there- : fore, has become as great a question as any other factor in textile pro duction. This fact has resulted in development of color experts whose jobs it is to analyze the world of fashion and to deduce for industry what the popular colors will he. sometimes placing such information in the hands of manufacturers a year in advance. Henri Creange, one of these an alysts and art director of Cheney I Brothers, silk manufacturers, out lined to the writer today the color factors which in his opinion will per mit merchants to correlate their Bnes of women's wear with fashion’s demand in so far as color is con cerned : “The colors most in demand this Kail lire browns and coppers, then blacks, then blacks and whites and Anally the beiges and tans. These colors rep resent the results of the analysis we have made in the world of fashion in Prance and their adoption by our firm in the manufacture of silks to be marketed throughout this country this Fall. Textile Mills Relieved. 1 “Os course, the wise hosiery man ufacturer, the w ise glove maker and the wise manufacturing milliner and j|he farsighted makers of suits, cloaks 1 and shoes also have studied this data | #tnd will correlate with the colors they consider- j.ioet ,popular the raer irhandrse, * ach has to offer. Trouble will he,ln store for the producer who "has not interpreted these signs cor rectly. Before a color line is pre sented in America, Paris representa tives. acknowledged to be leaders in fbeir field, gather fashion facts and study dress trends. They also help to Interpret American trends to the French coutouriers. Vienna. London and other foreign capitals and resorts are scanned as carefully as Paris for fashion data. “When the trends seem established painting.-sculpture and architecture, ancient and modern, are made to yield inspiration for textile designs. This complex data is transmitted to manufacturers here by cable descrip tions. photographs and color and fabric samples, when they are trans lated into American fabrics by Amer ican craftsmen for American con sumers." In the last few weeks all branches of the textile manufacturing industry have found relief from long-con tinued depression. There have been strong influxes of out-cif-town buyers at wholesale centers from New York to San Francisco. These buyers are show ing a disposition to anticipate their forward requirements more gen erously. So marked has this tendency become that difficulty has been found in tilling some lines, especially in woolens, and occasionally premiums are being paid ranging as high as 20 and 30 cents a yard. More mills are resuming production and a scramble for goods is not deemed Impossible in the near future. Last week retailers from the Inter mountain and Pacific Ooast regions bought more than $7,500,000 worth of dry goods in San Francisco, or about 11,500,000 more than during the corresponding period of 1923. *_ STEEL ORDERS GROW. PITTSBURGH, September 3 (Spe cial). —Steel orders in this territory continue to show an upward trend, but this is still a buyer’s market, with the possible exception of shetts and tin plate. Structural shapes are fairly firm at 2 to 2.10 cents a pound. Steel bars arc ptill quoted at 2.10 to 2.15 cents, but plates are weak, with some reporting a price as low as 1.90 cents.

Ohio, September 3 (Spe cial). —Although there arc 100 lake freighters now IHlc the Pioneer Steamship Company has placed an order for a 600-footer with the Amer ican Shipbuilding Company for April delivery.
