Forty-eight inches will be its
length in a majority of cases,
though for figures which cannot
carry this measurement there are
garments of not more than 40
inches.
AS in late summer fashions, many
coats are fastened with three or
five huge buttons, though some of
the most severe are closed for al
most their entire length with bone
buttons matching the suit in color,
exactly like those used on mems
coats.
Z Kilt plaits are introduced into
the sides, or are set in the back of
very new models. These harmon
lie with and give the necessary
|fullness over the popular plated
skirt, the pronounced favorite
among fall styles. Usually, this
skirt has a closely fitted yoke cut
in pointed or tunic effect.
OF materials there is a bewilder-
ing range of choice. For the Sc
we're suits, preferred cloths are
rough and even shaggy, such as
basket weaves, homespuns and
camel's hairs. Diagonals and whip
cords are of pronounced character.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-WHEAT.-Re-
newed liquidation caused further
break in prices here today, the final
qutations being from ! to l5sc lower.
The market was weak throughout the
session The principal factors in the
situation were the increased move
ment in the northwest and the pros,
poets for still more liberal arrivals
within the next few days. Renewed
talk of a settlement of the railroad
strike, weak cables and the poor de-
mand for cash grain were additional
influences that tended to accelerate
the downward movement of prices.

STOCKS ARE DULl|OECL|NE IN WHEAT
This Condition Is TraceabIe to the
Tightness Of Money-clos.
ing Was Heavy.

New York, Dec. 22.-The extreme
dizziness in st ocks today was trace
able to the tightness of call money
1t is assumed that this condition was
temporary and incidental to the year
end requirements. The expectation
of relaxation with the opening of the
year probably explains the lack OF
firmness in the market. The call loan
rate touched the highest of the year
and large amounts were placed al
higher rates.
1t is commonly assumed that the
great speculative campaign of the
past year, while acquiesced in by all
of the most powerful capitalistio
groups, has been most largely entered
into by the group centering its inter
ests in the United States Steel, while
Harrimans absence. sudden return
and subsequent death, caused some
Withdrawals and abstentions from the
stock market 1t has been remarked
more than once that the capital was
being placed in stock market loans
rather than in st ock market commit
ments, through sources usually cred
tied with acting for the principal
group not most active in speculation
The rise in money rates now will be
of more direct benefit to this group
than the extension of the upward
movement of the stock prices.
Some industrial. as well as railroad
stocks, reflected the hopes OF stock
holders for ncreasedidividends There
was another revival of the copper
merger story and that group showed
the effect temporarily. The tone Of
closing was heavy.

"Seyenty-five cents" shouted man
on the fringe of the crowd. AS though
trying to stir up strife between the

broke in with Get the ak. Mary,
