There is tendency on the part ol

wearing apparel to buy cautiously, ac-
cording to the weekly review Of trade

While prices arc abnormally high,
there is feeling among manufacturers

sibility Of some slight reduction, Owing
to the labor situation some manuiaC-
tllrers of mons wear are unable TO make
prompt deliveries.
Manufacturers of womcn's s clOaks and
suits and Shirtwaists say the season is
somewhat backward, although there is
little more activity than formerly. In
these lines prices continue firm.
Continuing, the review goes on to
say:
"Thc hardware line continues active

BUSINESS NOTES
Yesterday was described as the quiet

Yesterday was described MS the quiet
est day the gray goods market has seen
so far in 1920. but prices were about
on the same basis as that which pre-
vailed on Wednesday.
The attitude taken by the average
buyer of woolens and dress fabrics is a
curious one at present. Despite the al
lotments being made by the largest
mills, their customers do not seem to be
showing much nervousness over a posi-
BILE scarcity of material. The large
operators feel assured that their wants
cannot be overlooked. and that they will
be taken care Of

server of conditions in the silk trade.
the present situation might be described
as the calm before the storm" The
only really bright spot in present trad
ing. he said, appears to be the business
turned in from the dress industry, but
even that is on none too sure basis.
The large number of additions TO the
jobbing branch of the silk trade supplies
very ''wabbly' group to the market
In the women's apparel lines the opin.
ion of the leading merchants who have
attended conferences with the govern
ment officials is that, to be considered
reasonable, a mark-up must not exceed
60 per cent. This margin, 1t is e1-
planned, includes even those articles
which embody the latest style, and for
which the merchants usually tack on an
additional profit to take care of the re-
| ductions that must be made later.
Some of tho scoffers at early predic-
| tions that Havana would cut in sharply
| on Palm Beach this year as the leading
winter resort for Americans. largely
as a result of the Eighteenth Amend
ment are beginning to change their
! tune. Not only do reports from various
| quarters tell of greatly increased travel
| TO the Cuban capital, but it is receiving
serious attention as a location of winter
speciality shops.
One of the most unusual things about
the present dull period in the market
for unfinished cotton goods is said by
experienced traders to- be the remark
ably small amount OF merchandise that
is being offered on tho decline. One thing
this was said yesterday 10 shpw was
that less actual speculative buying had
been done in the last several months
than had generally been thought, both

conditions were unQucstionaby respon-
sible for the fresh unsettlcment of to-

development of the days operations was
the undisputablc evidence that stocks

desire to cut down some Of the large

was TO large extent influenced by II
