A man who In business In one OF
the intermediate factory cities of Iowa
was telling the other day, while pass

have changed in the clothing and fur
missing business. The fifteen and
twenty dollar suits he said are now
almost laughtod at by many who used
to buy them. Forty and fifty dollars
strikes them--and sales are some
! times made by asking higher rather
than lower prices for now the aver
age man vents to get something that
is not cheap and to ask n cheap price
might mean to lose the sale or the
article. He said that merchants were
almost compelled to ask high prices
In order to sell their goods.
He referred also to neckties, having
read about sl2 ones in this paper. he
said the neckties that now sells best

limit are the ones that cost from three
to four dollars each. He said mat

not hesitate n moment about paying
seven or eight dollars for two ties. lie
said everything went in like ways.
The people are not only buying the
high priced articles, but they are buy
ing them more rapidly than they can
be supplied. It is question with inc
merchants where to get the goods TO
keep their shelves stocked. Many OF
them are three or even four months
