Jackets with large Collars and high

The supply of all the leading furs that
are i'll demand particularly Seal, Astra-
khan, Krimmer, Mink, Beaver and
Otter, is very short, and all these are
much higher than last Fall and daily
advancing. There was never such
rush known in the Fur Trade. Already
wholesale houses are working overtime
and labor strikes are imminent The
early buyers this year will fare best, as
with an ordinarily cold season furriers
will be unable to fill orders III October
and November. The question as to
whether CapeS would remain an article
of general favor, and, if so, in what
shape, was generally canvaSSed during
the Spring months, and the conclusion
reached and acted on by all manufact-
urers is that the sixteen to seventeen-inch
deep Cape with large Collar and raised
shoulders is staple article for early
Fall wear, for use Summer evenings
and in the Spring, and wrap that
every Lady ought to have in her ward
robe. The military Capes," "Otero
Capes," and all the fancy shapes, rang
ing "a to &c inches deep. are wraps
adapted to wear in Eastern climates in
place of Jackets, but their size and
amount of material they take make them
unsuitable, in our Judgment, for wear
here, particularly as they cost as much
as a Jacket, aud have not warmth
enough to take the place of Jacket. In
regard to garments In all Eastern cities.
''ReeferS." or some form of loose'fronts,
will take the lead; shoulders will be
higher and Collars larger We shall
show fifteen different styles of Jackets
in Seal, plain or trimmed, many of
them loose fronts and fancy styles,
but we look to see the tight
fitting ''Walking Coat take the lead in
this section, and feel certain that
SacqueS (38 to 40 incheS) will be a staple
article for Ladies OF middle age, or such
as want a garment for general use. that
will always be in style. These we have
in Seal, Mink and Astrakhan, and re-
gard them as the best values in our
stock. Astrakhan in Garments, Capes,
Nantes, Trimmings and MufS will be
the fashionable medium-priced article,
and universally worn i'll this country
and Europe. The large increased de-
mand has advanced the article heavily.
Krimmer will be very much used in
this section, and really makes about as
nObby and handsome a garment for
Misses and Young Married Ladies as
can be used. They are also very dura-
bic. This article has shared the gen
eral advance, and, indeed, next to Seal,
has advanced the most.
Our idea in this article is to impress
the ladies with the fact that now all
styles are fully settled and they are safe
to select any Garment or Cape; that
Furs are all advancing, the season will
be rushing one, and now is the time
to select goods and lay aside ready for
the time you want them, thus saving
considerable sum of money and a great
deal of annoyance later. No house in
America carries a larger line than we
do, and we are fully equipped TO make
to order or furnish from stock anything
that may be demanded in Fine Furs.
Remember the advice to attend to your
Fur orders early, and don't blame US if
you have to pay more later, or can't get
your orders filled at all.
