Board of Trade, which numbers among its
members the principal boards of trade and
kindred commercial bodies of the country.
will meet here tomorrow to organize for
its regular session, which opens Tues

cloth imported from England.
Clothing of English material and made

little more than the same would cost in
London, if made by the average tailor. OF
course. you could not get it from Poele's
establishment, or. indeed. any West End
tailor. for anything like the money, but
there would be very little difference in the
appearance Of the suit If you paid a third

pose large orders have gone forward to
Europe for English. French and German
goods. Wholesale dealers, who see far
enough ahead, would undoubtedly order so
as to save the duty, and their profits will
be handsome in consequence. I have been
told. TOO, that the Japanese are ordering
extensively from the Japanese manufac-
turers. and within the next few months the
duties collected on these shipments should
