Alfred FantI,s Trade Review.

Alfred Fantl, in his weekly review of
the cloak and suit trade from a buyers
point Of view, to-day will say:
"One thing that forced itself unmis-
takably on the attention OF the buyers
OF suits at the initial openings of gar
ments for the fall and winter season
was the dearth Of new fabrics that might
appeal to the trade. pointed out with
considerable emphasis at that time the
only novelty material called Silverton
velour, which has since developed into
the leading cloth of the season. No
representative manufacturer considers
his line to be complete without a lib
eral showing of Silvertons. and from the
present demand and the liberal supply
OF the cloth there will be a shortage Of
these suits by the time the season Ia
well under way.
I'VE have been placing orders for
these suits at prices ranging from $22 $50
to $35 in such desirable shades as beet
root, purple. Russian green. khaki. sil-
yer gray and beaver. The early inter-
est in these models should go a long
way toward making them big sellers
and recorders will undoubtedly come in
quickly for them.
I'm the coat branch materials that
harlnonize with the Silverton suitings
are also meeting with a great deal Of
favor among buyers. In the higher
grade OF coats they are known as crystal
cloth and silvertip bolivia and in the
lower grades similar effect has been
brought out in the burclla and the nor
made mixtures and another abric which
the mill has ramed bura cloth.
New coat styles with the variable
waist line are making their appearance
now. thus emphasizing the fact that
there is demand for a change from the
conventional and somewhat overworked
straight line styles that have so long
been favored by the buying public u
general. Many recorders have come for
ward for fall coats in certain accepted
numbers and It Is interesting to note
that in every instance tho styles dupli-
Gated have been those that have sou%e
form Of fur trimming"

with numerous buyers in town the
movement in womens neckwear Is
strong. large collars being especially
active.
Manufacturers Of silk petticoats re-
port brisk demand for striped and
lowered effects for immediate shipment
In the knit goods lines there are no
new phases to report since the openings
were recorded. The principal feature OF
the market now Is its great firmness
and the small prospect OF any lowering
of prices.
The few silk mills which are willing
to name prices for spring, 1918, are
asking and getting advances ranging
from 12ia to 20 cents yard. Higher
prices are also being paid on duplicate
orders.

During the last week raw material
markets were either lower or stationary,
but In every line of textiles firmness
continued as the outstanding condition.
Prices Of raw silk In Yokohama dropped
from so to 60 cents "a pound on the
speculative movement. American manu-
facturers represented in Yokohama say
that this will have no effect on prices
Of raw silk for immediate delivery, as
the quantity on hand in the Nippon mar
ket Is negligible. besides which transpor-
tation from that centre is very slow.
All kinds Of raw silk In the New York
market are high and firm. The note

the formation Of an association by dyers
with view TO uniform charges for I'm
ishing. 1t Is claimed that fnishers' sup
plies have advanced so per cent. while
their charges have been raised less than

The British blockaded the Ger

would send them foods and other
things when we could get through
the blockade but we would not try
to raise it. The Germans then
sunk some of our ships and we told
them to stop it. They established
a safety zone and said that only

A FAIRY TALE

There were two little children
who lived long time ago. Their
names were Betty and Billy.
On Christmas night their mother
said, you must 60 to bed early to-
night because Santa will soon be
here and he does not stop at chill
dren's houses unless they are
asleep.
So the children went to bed. But
before they went to bed they hung
up their stockings by the fire place.
The children could not 60 to sleep.
After a while they heard a noise on
the roof. In a little while Old
Santa came down the chimney. He
filled the children's stockings and
when he turned around the children
began to laugh. He said to the
children, would you like to take
a ride? Then Billy hoped out Of
bed and said, Yes" Santa put
Billy in one pocket and Betty in
the other pocket, and up the chin
ney he went. He jumped into the
sleigh away they went. After a
long ride he stopped and went into
a little house. Here he took the
children out of his pockets. The
children saw the funniest little
men. The little men were making
big dolls, sleds, and all kinds of
nice things. The children played
and had fine time until Santa
came back and said, 1T is time to
60 home" One Of the little men
gave Betty a big doll and Billy a
big red sled.
Billy falls out Of bed and sees
that he was only dreaming about
being at Santa's house.
He wakes Betty up and they ran
and got the stockings and Betty
has q big doll and Billy has q big
red sled--Virginia Sleeth, 6B, Ba1-

them," answered Fred.
"Ho, said James, am going to
hang up a rubber stocking SO it will
stretch"
Christmas night came. Santa
went to James house first and
when he saw the rubber stocking
he realized that the boy was
greedy. He blew it full Of wind
and then went to Freds house
When he saw the stocking with the
holes in 1T he filled it full and what
he could not get in the stocking he
placed on the bed.
Christmas morning they were
both up early. When James saw
that he got nothing but wind Re

When Fred saw all the candy the
new pair of stockings he jumped up
and down for joy.-Eagar Morris,
