Leading bankers said this week that conditions among the manufacturers had not changed much within the past two mouths. The large concerns are being held up by the railroad conditions.

One banker referred to one of the largest concerns in the Long Island City District, which has been making money, and putting out product that has very general use. But the heads of the firm reported this past week that it was almost at the end of operations because it could neither get material or send out its products. Money is tlghunins up. for the Queens manufacturers, according to the statement of the bankers. The banks are taking care of their customers as far as possible, but in nearly and 2u ave.

On each ship with a wireless set about 36 different grades or types of electrose are used, and on a battleship 300 pieces of electrose insulation are used for the wireless plant alone. Besides that a large number 1h used with other signaling devices and in connection with signal-(" apparatus for artillery Hre control. The Electrose Company is- the.

Factories, offices and even ('''vc" J80 that lumber can be easily and efficient' homes have seen the warm days com-1 hnndteH i.h After an exhaustive investigation by a committee of tho Converter Association, appointed to standardize colors for the cotton Industry, that association at a recent meeting adopted the American Color Cards issued by the Textile Color Card Association of the United States, as a color basis for the cotton industry. With this action taken, practically all textile lilies the Standard Color Cards as a common standard which was found to supply a large percentage of the colors needed u.yf,, wiping iifaaiiioi im.li, wiiitu uuig oui, is a voung; conccrv by getting an electrical breeze-maker.

Electrose insulation came into ex- istence about 25 years ago, when Louis Steinberger, the present president of the Electrose Manufacturing Company, I invented the mixture to which he gave the name of electrose. Before that I time the only high-tension insulation known was made of glass or porcelain. As voltage increased these insulators' became so large as to present serious I mechanical difficulties.

But it was not until the invention of electrose that the problem of a high potential insulator with commercial possibilities was solved. Its use spread rapidly. At the pies-' ent time all new high-potential insula- tion adopted by the Government is, electrose. During the war the com-! pany devoted Itself entirely to govern-, ment production, and worked at high I speed to supply the war needs. At the' present time, although all Government work is still done by the company, the oiiuimse in rang nas peen ere-.

Scarcely any loans at all are being made to firms who are producing non-essentials. In this connection it is reported that some of the big title companies are not loaning any mortgages, and when mortgages become due they ate requiring payment.

This has caused considerable uneasiness in some quarters. ing the winter month. r.rf lo-ti I 'JM" rooKiyn. nas no i i work now ,1 ananaoneu nit? wiecKinir wnrir ib ian by its predecessor and deals solelv He for the cotton trade.

tor me Coal Shortage Results in Demand for Greenpoint Company's Product, The turning of a sreat many shipowners away from coal and toward oil as a steamship fuel haa resulted in a suddenly enlarged demand for such Are bricks as those produced by the. Greenpoint Fire Brick Company of Brooklyn and Long Island City. According to Clarence Cooper, president of this concern, the growing shortage of coal, brought about in part by the gradual exhaustion of mines and in part by under-production, due to labor difficulties and difficulties of transportation, has turned the shipowner more and more to oil as a fuel. The Todd Shipyard Corporation of Brooklyn has been one of the foremost concerns to take this attitude, but it has been generally followed throughout the country. In addition, ship men also have found that oil is far easier to bunker than coal, is more easily transported and can be made to take up space on board which is inaccessible for other purposes.

A a result, practically every battleship at the present time, and all of those being built, as well as a large number of the commercial vessels, are oil-burners. Many of the old coal-burners are being transformed into oil-burning ships. When oil was used, howevec. it was found that a far higher temperature was obtained than in ihe coal-burning furnace, so that the old furnace bricks were unable to withstand the hem. The Are brick manufactured by the Greenpoint Fire Brick Company, however, was worked new lumber.

Besides being used by the Army and Navy It is also employed by the commercial wireless telegraph and telephone companies in the country, by the Canadian i'ower Company, tho new transmission concern extending from Cuba to Buffalo, and in insulating parts for ignition service for motorcars, airplanes, motorboats and similar machines.

It. has also been applied for railway line insulators of various kinds; and insulators and insulating parts and devices have been made for disks, switehbases. spool, brushholders, knobs, handles, and, in fact, practically every form in which high-potential insulation is necessary.

TRAOC MAM In the Long Island City section are located more shoemaking plants than in any similar sized district In New York City. Inquiry made this week as to conditions in these plants reveals the fact that in most of them a period of slack work and reduction of forces has come. There has been a big slump in production and in some of the factories this slump has amounted to as much as 50 percent. Corinne S. Villere, executive secretary of the Hostess House, Y.

W. C. at 245 Carlton has brought suit in the Supreme Court against Ida F. Andrews, the housekeeper, from whom she asks $50,000 damages for alleged wilful and deliberate asmult. The- complaint states that on August 19 of last year Mrs.

Villere asked the housekeeper to help her carry a bed down the "stairs and that, while the secretary was at the lower end, the housekeeper, from the upper end, "deliberately, wilfully and maliciously pushed the bed." As a result, Mrs. Villere was injured internally and had to go to Boston for medical treatment. country and sells its product all over the world. i ui int. piuuia ctir nun wurmiiK do not look for a reduction to any great cktent in the prices of shoes.

The labor that is still employed is paid high wages, while the prices of all raw leather, except the cheaper grades, are still high. The first break in prices will come in the cheaper grades of shofs. As one manufacturer put it. "Cheap shoes have been selling too high and they aro due for a considerable come down. When prices were boosted up shoes that were selling at.

$4 were raised to $1.2. while those that were selling for $12 were increased only to It Is therefore very likely that there will be a reduction of the cheaper grades of shoes within a short time."

The manufacturers are hoping there will be a change for the better and new orders will come in during the latter part of July and August. The reduction of working forces has amounted to almost one-third in many of the plants. There ha also been a reduction of time for those who are still employed.

Hohatt Porter, vice president of the Brooklyn City Railroad Company, yesterday took issue with Dr. John Bauer, traction expert for the. city who told the Board of Estimate that increased receipts on the trolley lines of the company were reflected in increased crowding on the cars. In replv Mr. Porter said: "Hart Dr.

Bauer been sufficiently interested to obtain the facts, and hiul he made inquiry of the Brooklyn City Railroad officials, he would have learned that there had been changes in schedules under which additional cars had been operated and greater frequency of service given to the end that, while more passengers were carried, there was, on the average, much less crowding. From Dr. Bauer's attitude it would appear that he belongs to the class of 'experts' who prefer to base their conclusions upon assumptions rather than upon readily obtainable facts."
