The Cycle Sea son.

Much speculation has been INDUCED
in during the past three months as 10
the probabilities Of the bicycle trade ior
the present year. Based solely upon
facts, :he statements that the aggregate
sale Of American bicJ cles will be from
% 10 33 l-3 per cent larger this year
than was that Of 1900, may be safely
accepted by the most conservative trade
critics. Further than this, the demand
from all quarters for the highest grade
Of wheel is to a most satisfactory extent
largely in excess Of such demand in 1900.
More $50 wheels and lever ,25 wheels OF
the chain type, and from 20 TO 20 per
cent more chainless wheels will be sold
this year than has been the case since
these two grades we're adopted a.
standard, or since the advent Of the
chainless machine.
These are the facts, as nearly as they
can be arrived II by chance orders re.
siyed from bicycle agents throughout
the country. As 10 the causes, they are
easily arrived at by those who have
watched cycle trade developments Tor
the past Two years. and who know some
thing Of the plans Of the leading maui
fsctures for the coming season.
