GREAT SALE OF SILK
$4,000 PIECES DISPOSED OF
Buyers of the Greatest Houses in the
Country Are Present and Bid
Good Prices.

New York, Oct. 12.-During the
past week a great silk auction oc-
q Cured at 81 and SO Leonard street
Buyers Of the greatest houses in the
country, from Maine to California and
Florida, were there, and, beginning at
10 o'clock in the morning, had by
4:45 p. m. bought in no less than
5000 pieces of silk
A. Montant of Townsend & MOntant
the auctioneers, stated that it was the
largest silk sale that ever took place
in all the world, not only in the guam
tity offered, but in the amount re-
alized-which fell little, if any, short
of 100000. The nearest approach to
it, he said, was about three years ago,
when James McCreery abandoned
jobbing and disposed of about 10000
pieces. '-.-
The sale was a peremptory one, by
order of the Ashley & Bailey company
of 100 and Ill Spring street, to re-
duce surplus stock in order that there
might be no curtailment Of manufac-
turing. More than 1000 pieces Of
fancy and colored silks were offered,
ranging from nineteen to twenty-seven
inches, and there were large quanti-
ties of black taffetas, peau de sole,
and peau de cygne, running up to
thirty-six inches wide. Other offer
ings were black and colored taffeta
brocades and satin brocades, taffeta
checks, and taffeta plaids, hairline
such demand, tussah stripes and fig
ureS.
It was expected that the sale would
last through ato-day, but the bidding
was spirited from the first. After the
sale the owners declared themselves
entirely satisfied with the result. The
prices varied with the desira bility of
the goods, blacks being far in the lead
in favor, and the bids ranging from
25 cents to 80 cents yard.
The sale took place on the third
floor, and was only Interrupted long
after noon for a half-hour when the
auctioneer provided a plain but boun-
tiful luncheon for the entire company,
so that no time might be lost. Thirty
seconds was long average of the
time it took to knock down the first
packages of each lot, when duplicates
went to other buyers with almost the
rapidity Of machine gunflre.
The Dayton Dry Goods company Of
Minneapolis was represented by their
resident buyer and secured a great
quantity of. the best kinds offered. ~
