How Do You Walk2

According to the testimony Of boot
statesmen, the tendency Of the average
individual it to wear out one or other
of his boots more quickly than the
other. "There are all sorts Of reasons
for this" said the manager of we'll
known London shop. "Corns on the
right foot, for instance, mean that
the left boot is going to be more heavi-
ly worn. ! have known cases where
one boot win be worn out two months
before the other shows any signs Of
the well-known theory Of a difference
in length between the right and left
leg. The habit of stepping off moving
trains and tramears also bears hardly

Cotton Petticoats Popular
Garments of Cheaper Material
Partly Replace Those of Silk

Consumer demand for petticoats is
slowly returning to the cotton fabrics.
This does not mean that the women Of
to-day are wearing the old fashioned
muslin garments such as their mothers
wore, but they have in many cases
passed up the highly expensive silk
petticoats which were 30 popular dur
ing the last five or six years.
The reason, according to a leading
manufacturer, lies in the extremely high
price of silk goods. Some producers, in
order to overcome the high price, are
putting out petticoats made of cotton
with silk fiounce. This. it is believed,
satisfies tha craving for luxury and
W,ll maintains a fairly reasonable
rlice. The most popular cotton petit
c--ats are made of highly finished cot
tons, which resemble silk.
At present New York petticoat fac
tories are tied up by a strike. Manu-
facturers in other cities maintaining
showrooms and sales Offices here are
being swamped with business as a re-
suit. 1t is almost impossible to obtain
delivery of high grade petticoats in
less than two months at present.
Some manufacturers are advising
summer requirements of high grade
merchandise now, but to hold back on
ordering the cheaper grades. Prices of
the latter have shown sagging ten
dency, while the better grades are firm
and show indications Of slight ad-
vanceS.

SILkS-Credit Men
Report SlO,per PAYMENTS

Garment manufacturers and retailers,
the bulk of the customers in the silk
trade, have slowed down considerably
IN their payment of bills, according
to credit managers for large silk manu-
facturers and jobbers. So far, the
credit men assert. the slowness has
not reached point considered danger
Gus, but it has become noticeable and
steps toward checking credits more
carefully are being taken by some
houses. The garment manufacturers,
because spring wholesale business has
been dull. owing TO adverse weather or
cautious buying on the part Of retailers,
are delaying payments to a greater ex-
tent than the retailers. the credit men
say. Retail business in silks has been
good all over the country in contrast
30 let down in the ready-made car
ment field.
Raw silk quotations have declined
curing the last few days, about so
cents pound. Shinshiu No. I, which
rad heen quoted at about SIS a pound.
IS now offered at Sl4. The lowering
OF prices, however, has not stimulated
buying on the part of goods manu-
iacturars or throwsters. Silk yarns
also have declined approximately so
cents pound without a revival of buy
rg resulting from the price cuts.
lhrowsters generally are sold up on
yarns tor two or three months to
come, and quotations. now are little
more than nominal. Sales in raw silks
and yarns are confined largely to the
small Goods manufacturers who. be-
cause Of the lack of orders. are selling
their raw materials at prices below
market quotations.

JEWELRY-Refners
Reduce Price Of PTnfi,,v;n,

For the first time in manv months
the price Of platinum in all forms has
taken drop. The decline was the re-
SUIT OF an announcement made by New
YORK dealers stating that the demand
was not meeting the supply and for
that reason a considerable reserve had
accumulated. The soft metal dropped
from sl5o an ounce to S142. while
platinum containing per cent iridium
is now sell linz for $155 an ounce, con-
pared with Sl65 demanded last week.
There was also q reduction OF $40 in
the price OF metal containing 10 ner
cent iridium and yesterday demanded
slG5 an ounce.
Just how long these prices will stand
is d'thcust to estimate, but according 70
a leading dealer, there will probably
be no change for at least several
weeks The drop in the price of plati-
mum. according to an authority in the
trade, is due to two events. One is.
that owing to the fact that iewelrv
workers have been on strike in New
York for over five months, tire con
sumption has been reduced TO alYa ast
a minimum. The other reason is that
the months OF Januarv aud February
are always slow periods in the iewcl,v
trade because during that time MANY
Of the manufacturers are taking stock
anc are using up all their surplus
supply.
At present platinum dealers have
more Of this metal on hand than tAev
have had for months. The imports CT
platinum from South America. which
are estimated at about 1000 ounces a
month, still continue to arrive in this
country and that coupled with the
fact that ve~y little is being sold has
been tho eause Of piling up a surplus.

of the new season business are said to
De very satisfactory. While some orders

Factories manufacturing women's
novelties have large orders on hand
