quarters where considerations affecting the nut

as the active buying In stocks will figure for two
days only III the loan account in the statement

sion in the latter item will not be heavy enough
TO effect an important reduction in the reserve
above legal requirements. The statement or
actual conditions of last night VIII furnish the
best key to the effect of speculation upon bank
loans. Receipts of currency from the interior
exceeded shipments to the amount of S3.94o.2e0
including new gold, but showed a material fall
ing off from receipts in the preceding week
Against this decrease there was no increase in

The Man Who Knows Gets
 the Best Deal-Read This

If you're paying for a made to or der suit do you want it to be made in New York by someone whom you don't t know and even worse than this, who doesn't know you or your require ments? Yet this is the very thing some tailors are doing-taking your measure and then sending it away to some other city to be made. Is there any reason for doing this except that the foreign labor is much cheaper than that of our home workmen-at least, to permit of paying express profit. When you're paying for GUS tom tailoring you're doing so because it is the best kind and because you want your clothes to fit, aren't you? Then go to a tailor who makes clothes right here in Bridgeport. This in Sures a perfect fit because you can have as many 'try onS' as necessary and you can watch your suit during every stage of it's making. If you change your mind concerning the lin ings or the smaller conceits, such as cuffs, belt straps, lapels, etc., during you can have them altered to suit you. But above everything you're bound to get fitted-fOr good custom tailoring like Wheale does at 1042 Main St., can't help fitting Every suit is built to it's wearer. It is planned out and ground and not "monkeyed'' with by someone miles away who doesn't know you by name or sight. to say nothing of your personal requirements. As long as you're paying the price get your moneys worth. wheale can give it to you if you'll try him. All the latest weaves of cloths, thoroughly shrunk and representing strength. dur ability and wear combined with un- qualified ztyle.
