Heavier Cuts Expected.

'In September when the spring styles
and prices were announced a large do
mtstic clip of wool came on the marke;
and British woollens also came in in
large lots. Credits were stil short. The
result was that the manufacturers were
Obliged TO reduce their prices from IL
to 20 per cent. on spring deliveries.
Notwithstanding this cut it was evil
dent that the cutter was not interested
in buying. He Is still In that frame OF
mind. nor is he willing TO make reduc-
lions In prices that will correspond with
those which the manufacturers have
made. This also applies to the retailer

Whether the cutters are going to come
In and buy spring goods from the manu-

woollen manufacturers will be obliged
TO curtail their running schedules--some
will no doubt close indefinitely.
AT the present time some OF the
manufacturers have good sized stocks

manufacturer OF so-called staple lines.

THE manufacturers pocketed losses
when wool prices fell 20 the bottom n
few months ago. IL is evident. how
ever, that wool Will be cheaper later on.
"whle the labor situation may be
called supplementary TO the present con-
ditlon Of stagnatlon, reductions in wages
would not have an appreciable effect
upon price levels. That s, a cut OF i5
per cent. in wages would not make
enough difference in the price Of the
fabric to offer any great inducement FOR
the public TO buy. The mills at the pres
ent time are striving 20 keep running
But with the spring run OF goods still
piled up on their hands and with few
buyers appearing the OUTLOOK is for shut

lions have cherished an antlpathy for
this creature Of the sea and have been
very willing to accept as fact all Of
these stories, stopping to con-
slider that perhaps after all the shark
might have n few points in his favor.
To begin with, the shark does not
live exclusively on the flesh of man,
says DR.. Allen Rogers of Pratt insti-
ltute, Brooklyn, In the current number
lof the Journal of Industrial and En-
cheering Chemistry of the American
IChemical society. In fact, there are
Ionly n few species who would eat hui

OF Mexico, along the coast Of Florida
and the West Indies. Being rapid and
powerful swimmers, they often follow
ships for hundreds of miles, picking up
food as 1t Is thrown over the side of
the vessel. Thus their diet at such
times Is not unlike that of our domes-
tic hog and poultry. 1t Is claimed by
fisher folk that the shark will not eat
unsound food. which shows him even
more particular than our friend the
porker. Why, then, If he Is so clear
in his habits Of life. should we dis
eliminate against him?

Helena, Mont, April e24.-The, un-

the state in 1919. due to the drouth
and the high cost Of feed, is comments
I'd upon by the Market Reporter Of the
United States, which puts the total at
641,337.
Much of this went to grazing lands,
however. and the per emf sold for
beef was not very much higher than
in previous years.
There are no figures on whether
these cattle will be replaced this year.
The price of. feed is soaring. at pres
ont. But it is claimed that q large per
cent of those who abandoned farms in
the drouth area have returned or will
do 80 soon.
There have been three years Of
drouth, and oldtimers say they u in
threes and are followed by Is to 20
years of good crop weather.
The years Immediately preceding
these three last drouth years were
amazingly good. so good that the huge
crops raised in this state became a
