The Japanese have observed that, at least in cities, U. S. women cannot do without silk stockings, and silk stockings wear out continually so that even a temporary buyers' strike is next to impossible. So by last week raw silk cost U. S. hosiers as much as $3.55½ a nine-year peak price, up nearly $1 since August, up $1.75 since December. U. S. silkmen were full...
