Almost dozen different types Of
corsets, close to score of brassieres,
bardeaux and camisoles and half a
hundred styles of women's undergar-
merits. neghgees and boudoir acces-
series were shown last night at the
Bush Terminal Sales Building for the
benefit Of New York and out Of town
buyers now in the market for fall
merchandise. The event was the first
Of series Of semi-annual corset and
underwear styles shows to be given
under the auspices of the International
Buyers Cuban institution conducted
BY the Bush Terminal Company.
The garments were shown on living
models posed in huge picture frame.
The new ccrsets for fall revealed few
changes from the models which Ameri
can women have been wearing for the
past five years. The straight line, full
waist and low-husted models prevailed.
Most OF the exhibits were developed in
extensive materials and represented
the ultimate of style and quality.
All types of undergarments were
shown, from the plain cotton to the
most expensive crepe de chine, georgette
and satin creations. The styles varied
from plain cut garments modelled along
the lines Of mems athletic underwear to
6raped flounced, beribboned and en-
brodered models which seemed almost
too fragile for wear. Fashionable un
dergarments for the we'll dressed

British Mandate Tariff OF

WASHINGTON, July 3o.-Oaicial
reports of the recent speeches of Sir

not proposed to make preferential tariff
rates for British goods going to the
former German colonies over which
Great Britain will be mandatory. Amer
lean commercial circles had been con-
cerned by an interpreta ton that pref

the British dominions and that no reci-

Expects Higher Prices
For Lower Grade Woods
A man prominent in the wool ira

A man prominent in the wool trade
said yesterday:
so far as it is possible to see to-day
based upon all the elements that have
bearing upon the situation, do not
see how the price of wools generally
can be any lower for some time to
come; and it does seem to me that
there will be a tendency for an ad-
vance in the price Of wools, especially
those which have been neglected in
the recent past. The better classes of
wool have advanced SO materially, and
the prices of yarns and goods made
from them have advanced so much
out of proportion even to the advance
in the wool-that it must have it's cf-
feet upon the lower classes of wool"
