" oolen agents Expect
Reaction From High Col
ored NoUelty Designs

Some OF the leading woollen agents
say they have detected a slight falling
Off in the demand for cloths of bright
colors and conspicuous patterns for
next fall. The present spring season
and the coming fall season have devel-
oped what is probably the peak de-
mand in novelty clothing for men.
Early orders for fall woollens showed
strong tendency toward the brightest
colors that could be made and much
kind. Present spring models in ready
made clothing show radical styles, such
as the waist seam coat carved out of
the fanciest goods the clothing manu-
facturers could procure.
Now, some CT the forward thinkers
in both the woollen goods ard cloth
ing trades feel that this wave is wan
ing, and that after the early fall sales
of clothing the public will revise its
ideas of dress and demand more con-
servative attire.
Woollen selling agents always feel
more or less shaky on the novelty
cloth question. They reason that while
there is chance to sell great quant-
ties of novelty cloths when they are
IN style, there is nothing to indicate
how quickly they may drop out Of
fashion. When this occurs the cloth
ing manufacturers cancel their orders
for cloth and the mill agent thus comes
into possession of a quantity of mer-
chandise for which it is difficult to
find another market.
Some of the leading clothing manu-
facturers have been forced to adopt
tn novel styles in their garments and
to use fancy cloths at the behest of
their customers, but they work against
this tendency as much as possible. The
staple trade on the more conservative
styles and cloths, they say, is the only
safe trade: one i'll which cancellations
are feWest

out of the market. In general, how
ever, paper has been reported as NOV
ing more freely during the past week.
In the bank acceptance market some
dealers found broader demand than
recently. This is not to say that the
demand has been heavy but it has been
coming from more institutions. A few
more bills have been coming on the
market. Some dealers complain, how
ever, that these are nearly all ninety
day bills; that ninety day bills cannot
be sold, and that the sixty-day bills,
which can be sold as son as they are
received continue as scarce as ever.
A hopeful tendency yesterday was the
decline of call money from an opening
rate Of 6 per cent to q closing quota
ton of 5 per cent While call money
has been firm during the loan period
it has not been as firm as generally
expected.
Fifteen to sixty-day prime trade ac-
ceptances were quoted at 5@5A per
cent; sixty to ninety days, 5M5la per
cent; indorsed trade acceptances, 41a
per cent, all maturities.

Raw Silk Demand Heavy
New Crop Offers From Japan
Expected i'm August

Importers of raw silk Yesterday re-
ceived numerous inquiries from large
manufacturers for supplies to be de-
livered during the month of July. Re-
duced stocks, coupled with the recent
advance in prices, restricted actual
buying. Advices from Japan indicated
were being rapidly absorbed, which
fact keeps the visible supply at that
centre at about 10000 bales. 1t was
stated that silk from the new Japanese
crop will not be received in the United
States until the early part of August.
Tussah, or wild silk, of brown color,
and chiefly obtained from India and
China, was said to be in active de-
mand at an advance of 10 cents a
pound. Most Of the business in tus-
sahs was provided by manufacturers Of
hosiery, upholstery and silk and cotton
mixtures.

Ribbons Scarcer Because
OF CurEailed Production

Leading manufacturers of silk rib
bons reported yesterday that they
virtually were overwhelmed with or
ders, and that because of lack of
skilled workers, chiefly women. their
looms were operating at only so per
cent of full capacity The "craze" for
ribbons with which to trim womcn's
garments is responsible for the robust
volume of orders manufacturers have
received. Ribbons five to seven inches
vide and in nearly all colors are be-
ing used on an extensive scale for
making camisoles. But millinery Job
bers are buying fall goods in CON
servative way. 1t was intimated that
prices for silk ribbons soon would be
advanced to 10 per cent, this being

Shortage of Upper Leather

development in the leather market
"The Shoe and Leather Reporter" says:

business on all the better grades of

1t was reported yesterday that some
Japanese flax had been sold to Ameri-

tlmated that the linen to be derived
from the fax would be used in MAX
ing huckaback towels The japanese
were estimated to have devoted 10000
acres to the cultivation of flax last

area will be greatly increased this

HOGAN IS GUILTY
Jury COnVictS Him of Murder in
the Second Degree.
Verdict Reached Late Monday
Night Read This Morning.

Hamilton Hogan. accused of muir
dering William Smith several months
ago, was found guilty of murder in
the second degree by a jury in the Sec
ond division of the Shawnee county
district court. The case went to the
jury shortly after o'clock Monday
night and the jurymen deliberated I'M
til 10 o'clock. when the verdict was
reached. This verdict was sealed and
was read at the opening of court this
morning. >
Hogan And his family were in the
court room when the sealed verdict
was opened and read. His lawyers
asked for a poll of the members of
the jury and each stated that the YER
dict was his verdict. -.
The defendant had been charged
with murder in the first degree, and,
according to Hugh Fisher. county at
torney. the state had agreed to sccept
a confession of second degree murder
but the defense refused to do this.
Conviction on a second degree charge
carries a sentence in the state peni-
Tertiary of not less. than ten years.
Sentence was deferred by Judge
Whitcomb.
