The Missouri Pacific proxy commit
tee Of which Alexander J. Hemphill -

WHAT THE BUYERS WILL
LOOK AT TO-DAY

prior TO the opening. The engagements
entered into have been substantial IN
the aggregate, primarily because OF the
anxiety Of both clothiers and book
houses TO make commitments before
opening quotations were advanced. An
interesting feature of the advance
business placed is the relatively large
buying by small wholesale clothlers:
Such orders are under suspicion, ana
quite a number have been cut In TWO
by mill agents because they felt GER
tain the quantities bespoken would not
be accepted by the purchasers. ne
large clothing manufacturers nave
operated conservatively, and the mllls
are confident the commitments made oy
these factors will stick. The call Tor
fancy woollens have been up to the
most sanguine expectations, and several
mills are we'll foresold fer the heavy
weight season already. The tendency
of values on fancy woollens continues
to be upward.
Several large woollen manufacturers
dre figuring on 100000 yards OF army
cloth, comprising 23-ounce cadet blue
overcoating. 24-ounce tunic cloth ana
24-ounce French gray trousering, want
ed by Belgium for army use. The ma.
terials that are wanted are TO be or
good quality, and the buyers are will
ing 10 pay a good price for well con
structed fabrics. II is understood that
the cloth IS 70 be made into uniforms
in this country and that satisfactory
arrangements for payment have been
made with local bankers.
A new plan to show garments 70 VS.
iting buyers without the aid or assist
ants is being tried out by Max Green
berg & Co.. known to the trade as the
House of Black, and Is meeting with
wonderful success. Instead OF having
the buyer seated at a table or desk
and having the models parade" around
the showroom. in this unique display
parlor the visitor Is seated on
perched or raised platform in the cen.
tire Of the room. The room Is made OF
solid glass mirrors and looks like a
woman's enlarged hat box. The models
are on little stands, and clear view OF
all sides and lines of the garment can
be seen without moving the model. The
costumes are shown on living models.
A new silk selling agency has been
formed in the New York market by
Robert r. Salembier, formerly with A.
D. Juilliard g. Co., and Ward Clay, who
was formerly dress goods and silk
buyer for tho ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Dry Goods Company.
The leather trade, which has been
greatly affected by the European war,
is slowly reviving. While conditions
are far from normal, manufacturers
are confident that the market will soon
boom, which would mean additional
employment to about 1000 men. The
large percentage Of the leather sold
at present is for export, which bust
ness has decreased about 80 per cent
since the outbreak of the war. The
manufacturers, who were compelled to
practically cease operations following
the outbreak of the war, which affected
the delivery Of hides from South Amer
lea, are now having no difficulty in Sc
curing hides from South American
points.

Ravages of War.

Those who said at the beginning Of
the war that because Europe was 5000
miles away this country had no need
TO worry about its business will find
food for thought in the Southern Rail-
ways earnings for seven months made
public yesterday. The period coin
c.des. except for one month. with the
period of the war. Since July l, gross
earnings show a falling off Of $500
429, compared with 1913, or somewhere
about 1919 per cent. The loss in net
is proportionately much greater from
slilCs.7S4 20 $3.50. 500. or over 81 per
cent. And the Southern is not excep-
,ional, but fairly typical of roads
whose prosperity depends directly and
indirectly upon the prosperity of the
cotton grower.
