HERALD reporter called on several OF the
largest wholesale clothing manufacturers In the

trade. Great uncertainty not to say disagree

condition and prospects OF the business. Some
hold that the worst Is over, while others are nom

shoulders when the question Of prospect is put to
them. They also disagree as to the present con-

ing with full hands on full time, and have orders
enough to keep them working all winter; about
the money they are silent II Is due to the public
to state here that most OF the gentlemen who tell
this rosy story were very anxious that the re-
porter should take down In his notebook their
names and business addresses Others who were
questioned stated that the business was very dull
and that they were working with about half the

does business on strictly cash basis, is as busy IL

prices have reduced themselves about ten per cent,

1t is impossible to ascertain the exact number OF
tailors and cutters out Of employment at present,
but from what can be gathered from representa-
tive shops 1t is sale to conclude that not more than
three-fifths OF the whole number in the city are
employed. In many OF the houses those at present
employed are working at reduced rates. Cutters
who, previous to the panic, were getting $22 are
now glad to work for SIS. The rates paid to sew

poor girls have to work very hard to make enough

dealers told the reporter that their business de-.

more or less. In point OF the number employed
