Quiet Demand for Metal
Products Used in Buildins

Manufacturers of pipes, fittings.
valves and similar metal products re-
port that they are going through
period of dullness which they expect
to continue until the resumption Of
building operations becomes more gen.
eral. Meanwhile government orders
have practically ceased. following the
cancellation of contracts.
The manufacturers are hopeful that
building operations in this district will
be resumed on a large scale in the
spring. They point out that there has
never been time in the city's history
when so many people were looking for
a place to live, and building to meet
this demand for houses, which is ex-
pected to start when the warmer
weather sets in, will in turn increase
the demand for metal products used
in new construction and improvements

Plan "All-Wool" Campaign
Merchant Tailors' Association
to Fight ShOddv

The National Association of Mer-
chant Tailors' Of America is prepar-
ing to start a big national advertising
campaign TO offset the inroads that
have been made on the business by
1eady-towear houses. The campaign
will centre in those cities where there
are local members of the association
and the advertisements will set forth
that all members will live up to an
all-wool standard. It will further ad-
vocate Standardization of goods so that
the consumer may know exactly what
he is buying. 1t is the contention of
this association thai the free use Of
shoddy of late has discouraged the
manufacture Of all wool garments, and
consequently has caused q reduction
in the output Of raw wool

F'ulrs
Furs
Buyers Bid Eagerly
for Fine Pelts at
Opening of Fur
Auction

Sale by auction of one of the largest
assortments of fur pclts ever offered
in this country was begun here yes
terday under the auspices Of the New
York Fur Auction Sales Corporation at
the Masonic Temple, II West Twenty
third Street. The sale will continue
throughout the week. The total value
of the furs to be sold, based on present
quotations for pclts in the raw state,
is estimated at $6,OO0,000.
Offerings for the first day consisted
mostly of the rarer and more expensive
furs and brought the Representatives
of some of the largest manufacturers,
retail dealers and importers to the
auction room. A number of agents for
foreign concerns were also present.
Bidding Spirited
The bidding was spirited and sug-
gested that buyers we're anxious to
make selections at this time of furs
for summer as we'll as winter wear.
When the sale started upward of
500 were present, with manufacturers
predominating. At the beginning bid
ding was desultory, because of the
strike which has been impending for
the last week or more, but when it
was learned that the principal cause
OF disagreement was payment for legal
holidays, all fear of strike passed
and bidding became very active.
The total sales were just short of
$3.50. 900, and shippers who had sent
their pelts to the auction expressed
great satisfaction and relief at the
prices obtained. It was stated that
prices realized more than sustained
the market
An advance over the October auction
sale prices was indicated on every cup"
offered. Wolverine, which was the
first fur offered, showed an advance of
20 per cent, Fisher advanced 25 per
cent, Russian sable brought 25 per cent
more than in the fall sale, beaver was
up 10 per cent, fresh, clear silver fox
increased 20 per cent, and stale, low
grade silver fox prices remained un-
changed. The range of prices follows:
Wolverine ........... $3.50 to SITS
flSner ............... 25.0O to 10000
Russian sable ........ $500 to 275.Oo
Beaver cubs ......... 4.25 to 27.25
Silver fox ... $500 to 64o 90

It You Need a Medicine

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out

reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill

applies more particularly to a medicine.

curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.

example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q
preparation | have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many Of my customers testify.

According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success OF DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
