No Depression
Is Felt by Silk
Industry in U. S.
Import of Raw Material In
creases iu Spring Months
While Other Foreign
Trade Decreases.
J mmm w w
of this year was not a
) mir at least.- While reports
trom asningion snowing
at sofmrd to he a serious and dos-
blv momentous falling off in our
oreipn trade in the spring months,
yet there was one exception. In
stead of a decrease in the import of
raw silk there was an increase.
This may seem to be a somewhat
triflng incident associated with our
entire foreign trade. Yet it is full
of significance; for in the first place
it shows that in spite of depression,
some of which was not well-founded,
an American industry was taking
the lead in imports and if it were im
porting a larpe amount of raw ma
terial it must be doing that in order
to furnish the plants in which this
industry is carried on with ample
supplies.
But if these factories have been
petting an unprecedented amount of
raw material purchased in other
lands and are about to convert it
into commodities suitabl 4 for do
mestic and foreign markets, then it
must be that those who manage
these industries are confident that
there will come a large demand for
their products.
Bilk Industry Different.
It la th illk industry of th United
state which haft made nosaihla a diff.i..
nt chapter In the history of our foreign
trade for the pant five or elx months,
from other chapters which told of a fall
ing off In that trade. It la not no many
years ago that the Cheneys were per
suaded that It would be possible to manu
facture In the United. States certain hinds
of silk goods which would find a rRdy
market and might successfully compote
with like goods manufactured In other
countries. upon tnesa foreign manufac
tured silks, United Rtatea was compelled
to depend until the Cheneys demonstrated
that wa could make as good silks In the
I nlted States of a certain kind as those
that come from factories In foreign lands
mi coum mnruei mem successfully in
Competition With these fnrln .in,.
Forty years ago the silk manufacturers
01 me united states hart an output esti
mated to have been of the value of $40 .
000.000. This represented In considerable
measure the results of the lessons earlier
taught by the Cheneys. At that time It
was predicted that the United States could
become the greatest silk manufacturing
....I..,, iu me worm. imt prediction,
however, was regarded as without Justifi
cation because not a pound of raw silk
was produced In the United States. It
would be necessary to go to China, Japan
and some other countries in order to pro
cure the raw material. That involved
heavy transportation expense.
Making and Helling Silk.
And yet the prediction Is likely to be
Justified, perhaps It is already justified
The industry would not have imported a
little under 1,000.000 pounds of raw silk
in a single month of this spring had
there not been confidence that this great
industry was again on Its feet. It was
one of th first to ' experience the change
for the worst which begun in the year
Tollowlnn? the armistice. Apparently It is
now setting the example of a change for
the better to other Industries, for if the
mamifncture and marketing of silk have
nteiled the largest import of raw silk In
a single month In all our history as a
sl!k-mRklng nation It must be that other
industries will be directly or indirectly
stimulated by this Industry.
Import of raw silk In the mtdsprlng of
this year was ino per cent greater than
the Import of this materia-! a year ago.
What wes the peculiar Impulse which
caused this nulckenlng of one of the
greatest of American industries, although
many other Industries were renorting thet
their output waa ;not rcoref ;than i0 per
Cotton Still In Slump.
Cotton has not yet responded to this
Impulse and the wonder is why If the
Ilk Industry has doubled ita Import of
raw material the cotton manufacturing
Industry, which depends to some extent
upon raw cotton which has a fiber unlike
the fiber which Is in the cotton which Is
produced In the southern states, should
have imported -only about one-half as
much of raw cotton in the spring of this
year as it did in like period of a year
ago.
This great Industry !i chiefly confined
to- eastern Pennsylvania, northern New
Jersey and the Important manufacturing
district In Connecticut of which Hartford
Is the center. In this entire silk manu
facturing district of the United States the
value of silk which was manufactured tn
If JO was a little under 190.000.000. With
in 10 years this had Increased to $107.
000,000. Ten years later the output of
the American silk Industry was $200,000,
000, an Increase In 10 years which with
the exception of the automobiles and one
or two other industries it waa without
parallel.
Increase In Output.
How Important a factor tn our entire
Industrial life is the silk Industry as that
has grown from 1800 '.a shown by the
fact that our silk output two years ago
was of the money value of nearly $700,
000,000. l'erhaps some ether country can
Ttport figures which would compare with
this. But it is doubtful whether Switzer
land and France are able to do it, al
though Japan and China may match these
figures.
This American industry lias been con
stantlv Improving Its methods of manu
facturing. 1 has been able to pay much
higher wages than those gained by silk
workers in other lands. Probably as much
as $100,000,000 were paid to the Ameri
can silk worker in the year 1919, and
yet it has entered the foreign market
with success, having achieved something
which 20 years ago would have been
deemed Impossible. That Is the almost
complete control of the American market
for ailk goods excepting a few special
kinds which are manufactured abroad,
and also a surplus which enabled them
to marKei in ioreis.ii h'ui
000.000 worth of American-made silk.
The story of the American silk indus
try as that was written in the spring
properly read, hints of encouragement ior
all American Industries.
New York Cotton.
New Tork. July 29. Offerings from Jap
anese and New Orleans Interests depressed
the New York cotton market slightly at
the opening. First price were unchanged
to 4 points lower. Continued fine weather
over the belt promoted bearish sentiment
from local traders which found expression
in further pressure after the start and
forced October 6 points under last night's
close. Liverpool was a moderate buyer
on the decline.
Further strength at midday, which ad
vanced prices to 12 points over the previ
ous close, was based on reports of high
temperatures in Texas and better Man
chester advices. Considerable covering de
veloped on the advance, but the market
otherwise was not broad as traders gen
erally are awaiting the government re
port. In the afternoon the market became
strong and held around 11.12c for October
on Manchester reports of increased mill
activity.

Market, Financial and Industrial News of the Day
Chicago Grain
By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire
Chicago, July 29. Lowest prices
were made for grains at around the
close and all showed good losses.
There was a bulge early but the buy
ing gave out. .Bullish crop reports
had only temporary effect, while the
selling pressure, which was light
early, increased toward the last and
made a tame and unsatisfactory
close. Net losses for the day were
5c on July wheat and yi2c on the
distant futures, while corn lost y2
VAc, oats, M1U:, and rye, 1JA
iVit, tne distant lutures leadinur.
A bullish crop report issued by
Snow, Bartlett, Frazier showed only
762,000,000 bushels of wheat, or
25,000.000 bushels less than har
vested last year. It gave the wheat
market a strong tone and brought in
buyine which advance prices nearly
c. the top was 51.2654 for Sen
tember. Buying gave out on the
advance and price dropped 2c,
with tne close around the inside. The
1,ick of OMtside support. couDled with
the increased pressure from hedging
interests ana liberal local selling on
the weakness in the cash markets in
the southwest, with a falling off in
the export demand, were late de
pressing factors.
Brail Buys Wheat.
Despite the claims from aomo people
at the seaboard that there was little
demand for wheat, Braxll bought two
cargoes aKuregatlng 450,000 bushels, tho
hedges against which were taken off
here. Sweden bought a cargo and in all
about 760,000 bushels were taken for ex
port. Chicago sold 150,000 bushels for ex
port and 65,000 bushels to mills. Sea
board houses were good buyers, but all
wants were satisfied by local and out
side Interests and there was also selling
at times by eastern houses.
Scattered rains over a good part of the
corn territory where needed, combined
with weakness In wheat, had a depressing
Influence on corn values. Trading early
was liberal, with a good class of buying,
but liberal selling by the leadlns Inter
ests, particularly for July, supplied all
buyers' wants and the finish was tame.
A feature was the lark of stop loss sell
ing orders for September at 60 cent and
the close was at 60 to 60 Ur. July was
64 14o and December closed 60 to 60Vfec,
the lowest of the week. Cash prices
were hi to 14c lower.
. Oats Prices Break.
Oat were little Influenced by the ex
tremely bullish crop report Issued by
Snow, showing 1,079.000,000 bushels, a
loss of 800.000.000 bushels for the month.
Prlte were He above the previou day's
clcse early, only to break lc for July
which closed at 35 H cr 3c under Sep
tember with December $o over Septem
ber. Cash prices lost H to 2 He with
hipping sales 120,000 bushels and de
liveries 60,000 bushels. Most of the 461
car are new with No. 2 white 24 to
30 under September and No. 3 whites
414 to 5c; No. 4 white, 6 to 7 and
ample grade, 9 to 10c under September.
New York exporter have agreed to
take No. 3 rye at 7c under No. 2 after
the market had a good break with a few
car sold at 20c to 22c under July, while
other brought 7c to 10c discount, in all
21 car No. $ being traded In. The dis
count on No, 3 was too great. No 2 sold
at 2c under. Cash houses sold the July
and shorts were the principal buyers. Re
ceipts were 120 car and deliveries 60,000
bushels.
Pit Note.
Lecount wired Stein Alsteln from Big
gar. Sasks. : "Wheat looking generally
good through this territory and Is about
an average crop. It is taking color and
heads are filling well. There la enough
moisture here to carry It through to ma
turity, but It needs about two weeks
more favorable weather. Don't think black
rust a factor here."
Timely rain fell yeaterday and last
night over a great portion of the corn
belt, section most In need of moisture
receiving considerable rain. In many
sections this rain will about make the
crop. The southwest corn crop already
1 about made and from all indications,
will be a bumper one through Nebraska,
Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas. Northern
Illinois still need rain badly.
Threhing returns from the northwest
in many lnatances are bearing out claims
of short yields, due to premature ripen
ing. Rust damage does not seem to have
been as much a factor as the intense heat.
Some sections are reporting yields of four
to eight bushels and a message to Clement
Curtis from Falrdale, N. D., said wheat
was turning out 10 bushels where It waa
expected th average yield would be
around 20 bushels, a this is one of the
best sections of the state.
Overnight sales of wheat from here
were 300,000 bushels, the late decline yes
terday resulting in considerable business.
A cargo of wheat wa worked to Sweden
over night. Foreign demand, however,
was quiet, according to early reports.

THE BEE: OMAHA, SATURDAY, JULY au,' l'JZi.
ONE OF BASEMENT KINGS
Financial
By ALEXANDER DANA NO YES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
New York, July 29. Renewed ad
vance of investment bond prices
was perhaps the most interesting
movement of today's markets. This
is a familiar enough incident of the
July reinvestment period and was,
in fact, considerably in evidence dur
ing this month a year ago. But it
has a distinctly new cause iu the
declining money rates (whose ten
dency was marked today in the
market for time loans) and the evi
dent converging of investment de
mands upon the European loans is
a development worth watching.
Nothing was indicated' by the
day's stock market except the rest
less backing and filling ot profes
sional speculators: such movement
of prices as occurred was confused
ana governed Dy no uiinorni iimu
ence. The news was mostly of the
kind to encourige midsummer
apathy. i!
Foreign Exchange Weak.
Exchange on Europe was weak, rates on
London and Paris especially falling to the
lowest level of the aason. The confusing
varietv of Influences bearing on the ex
change market is illustrated by today'
figures of our merchandise traua wnn t-u-rope.
The real nuzzle In the exchange market
Is francs. This week's cabled statement
of thd half year's foreign trade of France
shows that while the country's imports
of merchandise have been reduced some
3,300,000,000 franca, exports actually have
increased nearly 3.000,000,000, with the
result of turning the half year's "import
excess" of 5.941.000.000 in 1920 Into a
surplus of exports amounting to 607,500.000
In 1921. Whatever the rrencn economists
mav sav as to the unfavorable aspects
of reduced imports of raw materials (and
most of that reduction is aecountde for
by lower prices), the outstanding fact Is
the extraordinary Increase of the country's
export trade. In both quantity and value.
But this is only repeating History lor tne
thrifty and energetic French people. In
1871 the surplus of imports Into France
was 52.000.000 francs. Then the Prus
sian indemnity, like the present trade
debt to the United States, made It ad
visable to pay as much as possible with
goods, which was done so effectively that
1872 witnessed an "export excess" of 231,
000.000 francs, rising to 349,000.000 in
1S75. That year, which was followed by
rapid financial recovery in France was the
last year to achieve an export surplus
until 1921. -
Without any striking change In the bus
iness situation the week-end mercantile
reviews are beginning to reflect at least
a more cheerful driri or sentiment.

tin tomorrow will say: '

New York Coffee.
New York, July 29. The market for
coffee futures was influenced by further
improvement in spot coffee today and
after a steady start, with prices 2 to 3
points higher, advanced on trade buying
and local covering until September reached
6.67c and December 7.01c, or 14 to 15
points over the previous close. While
there were no official cables because of
the holiday in Brazil yesterday, private
cables reported today's market firmer,
partly on rumors of a European loan to
Brazil. Scattered realizing weakened the
late market 6 or 7 points from top, but
It closed steady at a net advance of 7
to 12 points. September, 6.50c; Decem
ber, 6.96c: March, 7.30c; May, 7.50c.

especially for new crop selections of
Santos. Rio 7s, 6c: Santos 4s, 910c.
Bradstreet's Trade Review
New York, July 29. Bradstreet's to
morrow will say:
"Heat and holiday Influences have ruled
and distributive trado and manufacturing
are quieter than for some time, with em
ployment increased nt several cities. Re
flection of these conditions Is had in less
active buying from wholesalers In second
ary markets and of holding off by county
merchants. Most activity continued to be
manifest In the apparel and kindred
trades. The situation, however, finds
quite a few redeeming features, most of
these having to do with the future. Most
immediately helpful of all these Is the
continued strength of buying of our grain,
particularly wheat, by Europe, which still
reports drouth affecting crops."
