Trade in Furs Sees Little Hope for Quick Resume
The Board of Trade report shows manufacturers will not buy raw fur stocks or cut goods until bona fide orders exist, hindered by a strike and wary retailers. It notes 75 to 80 percent of fur manufacturing capacity idle, with production unlikely to return before late summer, and stock levels only enough to dampen immediate shortages.

Credit Sluggish Payments Plague Retail Sectors Nationwide
Wholesale credit men report slow payments across all regions, with delays seen as deliberate rather than due to hardship. Bankers’ acceptance rates held steady, while separate notes show cotton goods converters charging for samples and merchants delaying purchases until demand clarifies. In Tokyo influenced markets, Japanese silk slips again as Shinehin No. 1 falls, unsettling buyers and prompting reduced purchases.

Direct Sales and Stock Levels Stir Clothing Trade Concerns
The clothing trade seeks clarity on uncut piece goods and finished garment inventories as direct-to-consumer sales by manufacturers show limited uptake. Prices cuts fail to boost wholesale purchases, signaling manufacturers hold ample stock. Two new direct sales push surplus items, including a $2,000,000 underwear and knit goods stock from 35 manufacturers via Amsterdam agents, and men and women’s hosiery from a major downtown jobber. Jewelers launch a national advertising campaign to brand jewelry as enduring value. This week’s commercial failures in the United States total 118, with 39 in the East, 19 in the South, 25 in the West, and 80 in the Midwest, plus 61 debts over $5,000.

Spiraling Price Rise Slows as Fed Acts in June Report
Chicago June 25 Spiraling defined by the Seventh Federal Reserve Bank as stealthy price padding has been checked by a progressive discount rate rise and inflation borrowing repression. The monthly board report notes improved transport due to reduced land use and fewer commodities offered. It cites wage spender curtailment, currency circulation rise from higher pocket money, and forecasts 1821 merchandise at 26 to 60 percent above current market, suggesting hopes for cheaper goods this fall are vain.

Captain William Finch of the White Star liner Baltic retires at sixty after forty six years at sea. He sailed from this port for Liverpool marking his final command, his career famed for safe handling and acts of bravery including rescuing a woman and child after the Arabic was torpedoed off Ireland.
