point to the temperance of basques

have already reappeared, and the tail

usually in conjunction with the little
shoulder capes. A triple basque and a

Advices from the South note firm

ports a more active demand; sales for

wiping out of the we'll defined lines
heretofore existing between export rice

In the quest for supplies, styles which
ordinarily found little favor in home

count of prices, and in order to secure
quality desired, the export trade have
taken largely from grades reserved FOR
