SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 2S.
Business Revival Weii Under Way in America
York '—:Selling agents for lines
Knit goods, particularly sweater
coats and heavy cotton fleeced under
wear, are calling the attention of job
icrs seriously to the large export busi
es being done by many mills in this
fcuntry and the probable effect that
i will hhve on deliveries of these mills
Tor their regular domestic trade an
other season. It is asserted that most
large mills have export orders on
sweater coats and fleeced underwear
that will keep them engaged for a
number of months ahead in a way that
they have not been in former years.
Buyers for Jobbing houses, therefore,
these agents say, should recognize the
fact that mills will not be in the same
position that they have usually been
in which they were forced to wait for
their regular domestic orders to come
along as suited the convenience of the
jobbers. One large mill, whose men
are now out for next fall with samples
of men’s fleeced underwear, are frank
ly telling jobbers, it is said, that they
should get in their commitments earlier
this year on account of the excellent
prospects for business abroad.
This new export business, it is point
ed put, is not strictly a matter of sup
plying the armies at war, but much of
it is regular trade with countries like
England, which has heretofore been
getting supples from continental mills,
like those in Germany.
From the experience of sweater coat
salesmen who have already been out
for next season the jobbers, it is said,
have not so far taken this new situa
tion seriously. Their orders to date
have been very light and some sales
men have already returned, recogniz
ing that their expenses were much out
of proportion to the results obtained.
LARGE WAR ORDERS WERE
WOOLEN MARKET FEATURE
Inquiries Also Engross Attention of
Selling Agents.
New York. The war contracts
placet! on woolen goods for export and
renewed inquiries that appeared to
have actual business behind them
again engrossed the attention of manu
facturers last week. The largest order
on overcoatings thus far placed for ex
port was procured by a local commis
sion house. This contract called for
the delivery of 650,000 yards.
AMERICAN EXPORTS GREATER
THIS YEAR THAN LAST
United States exports from January
1 to November 20, 1914, were 791,180,-
082, as against 748.215,861 for the same
period last year, showing a gain for
this year, despite the war conditions.
For the week ending November 14,
United States exports were over 24
millions, as against 17 millions for last
year.
Here is an ad. that appears on yie
front page of a recent issue of the
New York Commercial:
“Notice, manufacturers: We require
for prompt delivery 1,250,000 wool
sweaters. 600,000 wool stomach bands,
1,600,000 pairs wool gloves, 500,000
pairs wool socks. Orders given imme
diatelv. Payment spot cash New York.
Address B. B. 29, this office."
New York.—A new war order was
received by the Ansorge Export com
panv from the French and English gov
ernments caliing for 1,000,000 pairs of
heavy wool hosiery and 500,000 cotton
sweater coats. It is officially stated
that the price has been accepted by
these governments on all of this mer
chandise and the total order will
amount to $750,000.
The Ansorge Export company is now
looking for production from mills mak
ing woolen hosiery and cotton sweater
boats, so that the prompt delivery fea
ture of the contract may be completed
as stipulated, deliveries starting at
once and a large proportion to be made
each week. The wool hosiery in the
order is of three-pound weight and
is to be of 60 per cent wool. The same
concern has been busy filling another
order for 20,000 pairs of wool socks
for export. v
News advices received here from
Pittsburg, Pa., state that the Pitts
burg Can company of Etna, Pa., has
received an order for 500,000 mess tins,
awarded by the British government.
The mess tins are to be made in the
form of a folding plate, with a long
handle on one plate.
The Pittsburg foreign trade commis
sion is also credited with the an
nouncement that they have been ad
vised by cable that a delegation of
business men and financiers from Ru
mania would arrive in this country in
about two weeks for the purpose of
making government purchases on be
half of the Rumanian government
amounting to approximately $12,000,-
000. The delegation, it is said, will
en'leavoß, to close contracts for small
arms, light and heavy guns for the
artillery arm of service and other mu
nitions.
The commission also announced that
it had received from J. Rogers Flan
nery who is in London, a cable ask
ing that quotations be immediately se
cured on 2,000 tons of galvanized steel
wire of exceptionally heavy gauge and
tensile strength. Bids were secured
from some manufacturers and sub
mitted by cable. Another cabled in
quiry from London asked for bids on
20 000 cast steel wheels. Other pros
pective war orders in the steel mar
kets reported from various centers In
clude an inquiry from Russia for bids
on steel rails and another for the same
material from Norway.
Pittsburg trade authorities also re
port that the Pittsburg Shaving Bntsh
company has received orders for 500,-
000 shaving brushes from the British
government, to be delivered in the next
three months.
Local drug trade interests report
that during the past week they have
received many inquiries from agents
for the British government for chlorate
of potash and oxalic acid, and it was
confidently expected that some impor
tant orders for these materials would
be placed here soon. It 1. further stated
that there have been some very heavy
sh*P'*nts of chloroform from this port
rec&y destined for France on pur
chJTs made by agents in this city for
that government.
Official advices have been received
which say that the Chinese Eastern
railway desires to . 1
lowing articles in the L nßed
Chloroform, cocaine, morphine, so
Hum bromide, quinine, form alia cot
ton and cloth for bandages. It Is PJ»
sible that other medical and hospital
supplies will be needed by the .^ u ** 1 la ."
government, for which the railroad Is
ordering.
Inquiries for 250.000 tons of coal In
80,000-ton lots, for immediate ship-
ment, were made by accredited repre
sentatives of the Chilian government
in Philadelphia, according to advices
from that city. Exporters who are fig
uring on the orders, in explaining the
big demand for coal from that source,
attributed it to the fact, which inci
dentally leaked out, that Australia,
which supplied Chili with 850.000 tons
of coal in 1913, had very recently
placed an embargo on the exportation
of coal.
Orders for approximately $4,000,000
worth of bullets for Europe have been
received at she 'Western Cartridge com
pany plant, according to news dis
patches from Alton, III.' F. W. Oling of
the Cartridge company is quoted as
saying that the ultimate destination of
the shipments is not known to them,
the orders having been placed through
New York brokers and are to be
shipped by them. The 30-30 caliber
long steel jacketed bullets, the seven
millimeter cartridges and the .43-cali
ber lead bullets. non-Jacketed, make
up the bulk of the orders.
Charles M. Schwab, president of the
Bethlehem Steel company, was sched
uled to arrive here on board the Ad
riatic, returning from a three weeks’
trip to England. Reports are current
FABRICS OF THE PAST
THE FABRICS OF TODAY
Velours and Ratine With Plush-
Like Pile For Daytime Wear.
Brocades For Evening Gowns.
New York.—There are, far less new
fabrics upon the market this season than
last. The variety, however, does not
seem to be lessened, for it merely means
that instead of the new we have gone
back to many of the fabrics which have
been considered passe for many seasons,
ee eeeee eeeee eeee
Velour de laines and ratine are re
cent novelties which have held their
own. This year they have become thick
er and the pile of the Vielour de laine is
heavier, making it seem almost plush
like.
Broadcloth is another fabric that has a
renewed vogue this year, and many suits
and costumes are to be seen of it. The
A Conservative Model In the Popular
Jumper Effect
chiffon broadcloth, which Is light weight
In comparison with the other broadcloth,
is used extensively for one-piece dress
es. Black, blue, green, beige and mauve
are colors which are especially attrac
tive in broadcloth.
Faille, once called Ottoman and ben
gallne, is very populaV in silk or wool.
It has a suppling* and a firmness
which make It especially suited to the
one-piece frock. The clothes of the sea
son are what determines the fabrics and
this year the one-piece frocks and sepa
rate coats cause fabrics supple and
substantial to be the mode.
There is serge, the standby of de
cades, gabardine and fabrics which
have a long-haired silky finish called,
kitten's car, peau de souris (mouse
skin), and ziheline. Velvet, imitation
mole and Persian lamb cloth complete a
wide variety of the smart fabric* for the
daylight hours.
The Jumper effect in dresses which Is
so popular at the present time, adds an
other happy way of combining fabrics
and colors. In faille silk come* a long
tuniced frock with a pleated lower skirt
and a jumper basque waist. The sleeves
and underarms of this waist tire of soft
silk with a Paisley design. A close
fitting little hat with three perky feath
ers In the front gives extra dash to
the costume.
Plaids in gray and festive colors are
always a bright note in the seasons
when they are popular. In greens and
blues with a touch of red or yellow they
may be used to advantage for the win
tcr frock, primarily for home wear, but
which jnay fl 11 many wants under a styl
ish separate coat. The model Illustrated
Is In dark green with a blue and black
stripe checked off with narrow lines of
red. The bodice is in basque effect and
the skirt ha* a For tunic which dip* to
the edge of the lower skirt In front and
graduates higher In the back. The low
er sklvt and crushed girdle nre of bhek.
The flaring collar and rounding cuffs
are of doubled whit, orgjfridy.
that Mr. Schwab returns with the most
important war contracts for armor and
steel products that have been placed
in this country by foreign governments
since the outbreak of hostilities in Eu
rope.
$2,115,000 WAR ORDER
COMES TO NEW YORK
lnc„ to Supply Wear
* ing Apparel to Allies.
Morris Perlstein, Inc., of 366 Broad
way, have received a war order of $2,-
115,000 for military and naval wearing
apparel from the French and British
governments.
Tl'e order requires the concern to
supply during the next fourteen weeks
1,350,000 woolen sweaters of “middy”
size for the uso of sailors, 1,600.000
pairs of socks and 600,000 stomach
bands.
Just how the order will he appor
tioned between the two countries has
not been given out, but it is known
that the gloves are to be delivered at
Havre and the sweaters at London.
An irrevocable cable credit for the
amount of the transaction has been
placed with a New York bank, to be
drawn upon as shipments are made.
an
A Frock in Autumn-Toned Plaid
Brocades which embody In themselves
all the sumptuousness of a century ago
are the fabrics used for evening gowns.
On heavy silk, thin voile, chiffon or
velvet, gold and silver threads are
woven into the brocade designs. There
are also velvet brocaded voiles and chif
fons with a bit of gold or silver in or
outlining the design. These brocades
are not stiff as of old, but soft and pli
able, draping most artistically.
Black satin, faille and velvet hold a
strong place among evening gowns.
These are lightened by the use of rib
bon sashes In vivid shades, as well as by
the wonderful Roman striped rlbbofla
and silks which are very popular. Some
of the newest of these show the autumn
note in their combinations of russet
brown, gfeen and dull red with always
a stripe of black. This new color scheme
Is also to be seen In the new taffetas.
Taffeta, by the way, is used a great
great deal In combination with serge
gabardine.
For the younger generation come chif
fon voiles with a six <A eight-inch satin
stripe in self-color woven on the edge.
Tunics and flounces are made with this
stripe on the edge und with the plain
voile for the rest of the frock. These
voiles come in ail the light shades so
popular for evening wear, soft blues,
shell pinks, varying shades of green and
In a yellow that so closely resembles
gold that It hardly seems possible that It
Is not a metal cloth.
The costumes at present demand
many accessories In the way of neck
wear, and the present tendency'ln these
dainty lace and organdy affairs Is to
ward the cape effects. Fichu effects are
also to be seen and are an attractive
addition to a dark frock o fserge, gabar
dine or satin. On the popular dark blue
frocks are to be seen cuffs and collars
in yellow 'Vepe or ecru linen. One set
of ecru linen had turnback cuffs and
standing collar hemstitched In an Inch
wide hem. Another set was of white
linen with yellow stripes about a quarter
of an Inch apart. The collar was high
and did not meet In the front, while the
turn-back cuffs were wide and pointed.
The edges of collar and cuffs were
bound with yellow to match the stripe
in the linen.
There has been a good deal of talk
about the advent of low-heeled shoes,
but, except trfr the walking shoes with
rubber soles and spring, or very low
heels they have not appeared. Short
vamped shoes are again appearing, with
high French or Vienna he*'* The
Vienna heel Is quite the newest heel
and Is neither French, Cuban nor Mexi
can. It Is high, narrok and straight
and looks pinched.
A new shoe model which is having a
vogue among the people who allow
themselves the luxury of changing with
every whim of the merry Jestress Dams
Fashion, Is square toed and with high
French heels. T. .s shoe Is fashioned
after French shoes.
For the Indoor shoe are those with a
white kid vamp and block patent-leather
hack portions and strappings. A single
Hack and white ornament Is placed In
the front. The bronze shoes made on a
pointed last and with high French heels
are conservative and yet when used In
the right way give an air of careful con
sideration to a costume.
