NOTES OF THE TRADE.

During the last few days II has been
noticed that few buyers are in town
looking for spring styles. This may
seem queer TO many concerns that are
in the habit Of showing spring sam
pies from January on.
blouse dresses, bungalow aprons
and bathrobes are now taking the place
Of Wrappers and dressing sacques,
said prominent manufacturer who
makes n line of the above TO sell at re-
tail from 80 cents TO So each. Inc
wrapper trade has been gradually fad
ing away for the last five years and
there is very little left of it now
Dressing sacques and long kimonos
are on "A decline, for the reason that
"a woman can get a cheaper dress made
ND of cotton materials and tastefully
designed, in which she can appear
dressed to better advantage than in a
dressing sacque or long kimono. This
is due TO the increase in demand for
house dresses. porch and street dresses
and bungalow aprons. At the present
time there is "A fair demand for bath
robes, and If the weather should be
come brisk it may improve little.
"As to house dresses and aprons.
there is 10 doubt that the trade ha
been getting away from New York
In almost every city there is a manu-
facturer who supplies the nearby mer
chants, and h. tries to intrude upon
the larger markets As to the bunga
low and porch apron trade, this
scattered throughout the West and
outh II Is a fact that the West does
more business on these garments than
New York. The out-of-town manu-
facturers dispose Of their goods at
such low prices that a majority OF
concerns here cannot compete with
them.
at has been admitted that the house
dress, kimono and apron business in
general has not been affected to any
great extent by the foreign conditions,
but last years business exceeded that
of this year to date"
