IEATHER-French Shoe
Style Not Popular Here

The French last, or new short-vamp
patterned shoe, is failure. according
to authorities in the footwear indus
try. This shoe, which for time threat
ened to give wholesalers and retailers
stocked up with long-vamp shoes much
trouble, is now considered very small
factor in the style program of the
present season and of next spring.
The lack of demand is attributed
mainly TO the efforts of the various
shoe associations which were formed
to discourage retailers, jobbers and
wholesalers from buying the style. The
arches in the very short vamp shoes
according to representatives. of these
associations, are too high to permit
comfort in walking. and this fact alone
aside from the trouble caused in fit
ting, has proved decided obstacle tc
its popularity. American women, they
assert, enjoy and appreciate the pleas
ures that come from walking, and
would, they believe, be loath to give
up this wholesome form of exercise
and accept the French style.

Cleveland Making Bid
For Big Convention

cleveland is favored by many OF
the rank and file of the Democratic
party as the next meeting place Of It's
national convention, and if the Ohio
city really goes after the convention it
will have little trouble distancing Chi
cago and st. Louis" remarked Frank
c. Hargreaves, of Kansas City "San
Francisco has been talked of, but it
seems improbable that the Western
city will be seriously in the running.
The time at San Francisco is so far
behind that of New York that Eastern
morning papers would not be able 10
print full accounts of the proceedings.
and national convention must have
publicity.
ut will be remembered that while
President Wilson was on the Pacific
Coast his speeches could not reach
morning newspapers in the East. If
the convention were TO do as much
night work as was done az Baltimore
in 1912, this distance in time would be
seriously felt. Another thing that in
cllnes Democrats to Cleveland is that
Ohio is a doubtful state
1T gave President Wilson the larg-
est block of electoral votes he received
in any state in 1915. The Democrats
are going to need Ohio again, and they
are going to bend every effort to get
it. Facilities at Cleveland are ample
for entertaining convention. 1t is
going to take tremendous amount of
money to conduct the next campaign.
With women voting in many states, the
cost is doubled, for women will have
to be reached by altogether new
methods. Washington Post

consumers. The retailers and the
women who buy the garments feel that
at present high prices for coats and
suits a durable lining should be pro-
vided.
The tendency toward higher qualities
has left quantities of cheaper grade
silks and satins in the market, and
prices have been shaded by jobbers in
an effort to close out these stocks.
Lining silks at present run the en-
tire gamut of design and color. Lin
ings that contrast sharply with the
body of the garment will rule in spring
coats and suits, according to garment
manufacturers and silk dealers. Navy
blue and various shades of tan are the
principal colors being taken by the
dress manufacturing trades. Light and
bright colors are being bought by waist
manufacturers. Underwear manu-
facturers are calling for wider range
of colors than formerly In addition to
the staple white and bisque. or flesh
colors, some of the leading silk under
wear concerns are now using light blue,
lavender and other pastel shades. and,
in the case Of two or three "style"
houses black is being used.

Commodities
Cotton

Early irreguiarity was followed by a
very sharp advance in the cotton market
yesterday. owing to the steadier ruling OF
exchange and rumors OF more favorable
prospects for an early completion OF tho
peaco treaty. October showed the great
est gains. selling up to 2S.5oc. or full!
Friday. while January advanced from
S4.46c. the low point OF tho morning. to
36.60c. and closed at $3.50. compared with
s4.76o at the close OF the previous day.
December was comparatively quiet and
relatively easy, with the general list clos
ing firm at q net advance OF Is to 90
points.
The market opened steady at decline
of points on October, but generally 13
to 81 points higher on covering for over
spurt Of liquidation and prices eased OF
right after the call, but the offerings were
II, IN much smaller voulme than they were on
showing evidences of a frmer technical
position. This inspired covering, while
there was also some buying by brokers
with foreign trade connections. and the
demand became much more active and
general late In the morning, when rumors
were circulating that England and France
would accept some of the Senates reserva-
lions to the peace treaty.
After tho break of about 3 &c pound
from the high levels Of last Monday many
traders had anticipated a week -end rally.
and the talk around the ring did not sug-
gest that the advance reflected much
change in sentiment. Covering by recent
sellers was stimulated by the peace treaty
rumors. while there also buying on
publish Southern spot advices and the fall
ure OF the break in material to weaker
the tone OF the goods market. The census
report. showing domestic mill consump-
ton of 490,698 bales for the month OF No
vember compared with 440.354 for the
Same month last year, was somewhat dis
appointing from the bulish standpoint,
but was not considered important fac
tor in the days market.
The local spot market was quiet and
unchanged at CSC for middling. No sales
were reported.
