BUSINESS NOTES

The sentiment has grown rather gen.
eral in the wholesale clothing trade that
the early spring season will be passed
without much difficulty on the score of
high prices.
While prices Of many Of the cotton
dress fabrics offered in the white sales
that are now beginning all over the
country bear little resemblance TO those
which were asked for similar goods
even year ago, the reverse is true of
the more staple cottons on sale at the
larger stores.
Despite the statements by manufac-
turing clothicrs that retail stocks of
ovcrcoats have been well cleaned out
and renewed buying should quickly re-
duce the present surplus of these gar
ments in wholesale hands, retailers
maintain that they nrc not ready to
make additional purchases.
Some OF the best posted buyers in
tho wooleu market profess themselves
ignorant of where the staple goods arc
going or even if they are being made.
Hints are to be heard, of course, that
the domestic mills are divcrting sup
plies of these materials into export
channels. but no figures arc available
~ determine just n"N ''u' '"'0' '"'iOi .
are.
The next series Of auctions Of gov
crnment- owned wool will take place in
Boston. January {, s. q and 10. Soon
after these sales are completed the Brit
ish owned wool which is now arriv-
| ing, will be sold. 1t is expected that
| the British wool will be disposed of
through the same channels and organi L.
zation used in selling the American
| government wool
While the popular demand for lux.
urics is held chiefly responsible for the
ever. increasing cost of goods, one ad
vantage pointed out is that mauufac
turcrs who ordinarily would have con
tented themselves with the quantity
production of medium class merchandise
have learned how to make the finest
articles. In silks, it is explained. there
! has been notable advance in the
qualities to be obtained in this country.
The same development has taken place
to n somewhat smaller degree in wool
ems and dress goods.
By blanket policies involving several
| millions of insurance with fixed amounts
provided for each individual, the Qua
