Predicts Price Rise in Frocks

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, (U. P).— Retail dress prices will be advanced by as much as 20 per cent because of increasing cost of raw materials and higher wages for labor, according to ennouncement by Morris Kolchian, executive of the Affiliated Dress Manufacturers Association. Kolchian said that the imposition of a ceiling price on rayon led some to believe that lower prices on dresses were to be expected but declared that this interpretation was wrong since the new ceiling prices are higher than the prices paid by manufacturers last month. Some of the advances in raw material costs were a 10 to 50 per cent increase in rayon, a 15 per cent or more increase in woolens, advances of as much as 80 per cent in some cottons, and a rise of as much as 10 per cent in buttons, belts, laces and similar materials.
