Corea Flooding Hair Market.

Rats, switches, puffs and human
hair structures are coming down in
price. These are about the only thing
in the market that show a tendency
to decrease. The cause is a political
one, the annexation of Corea by Japan.
Since the Coreans have become part
of the Japanese empire they have been
cutting off their "top-knots." BARRIERS
on the peninsula have been kept re-
markably busy and tons and tons of
hair have been put on the market.
The greater part of hair used in pufs
and rats comes from the far east.
There is getting to be a regular glue
of hair on the market. The result
may be that the women will pile moro
of the false variety on their head,
thus keeping the price up, but dealers
along Fifth avenue promise that curls
and artificial switches shall b.
cheaper.
