A Classic Style.


LONDON, December 10. 1920.
After a busy fortnight in Paris 1t
was rather restful to take the train
at noon yesterday and to arrive in
London once more, while the evening
was still young. What an enormous
difference there is between these two
capitals! There is so much vivacity
and life in Paris. The people. the
clothes, the architecture. the language.
the whole spirit of Paris is SO differ
ent from that of London. And l find
1t quite peaceful to be back here
again. Paris laughs and gushes with
an exuberancc of spirit: London huns
like tremendously powerful and
well oiled machine that does its work
quietly and with no unnecessary fuss.
1t is gorgeous weather over here
now. My friends tell me that they
are still going in bathing at Rye and
that the sun in the country has al
most a summers heat. but they tell
me also that / missed one of the real
London fogs. Il fog so thick that taxis

for the gray goods market, which slowed
down again yesterday. Sales OF i'm
nortance were few and far between,
though a fair number of inquiries were
reported Twenty-one cents was paid
for spot 4.7o-yard sheetings, while
sales Of Eastern 3S-inch d8-48s at 19M
cents and spot 39-inch 6s-72s at "a
cents. Fine-yarn goods and the cloth
ing styles continued to dFg.
The decrease in production of mems
suit coats, which occurred when the
waist seam styles were being made, not
only cut down the output of the cloth
ing factories while such garments were
beinp made, but has had bad after
effect according to manufacturers. The
operatives had an excuse, when fancy
coat STYLES were being made, to turn
out fewer coats, it was pointed out by
one manufacturer, but now that opera
tions have returned to the former plain
designs there ought to be more gar
ments produced. The latter, however. is
not the case and, once having dropped
on the OUTPUT, the workers show no signs
of making up the loss.
Dyestufr manufacturers have been
handicapped this week by the scarcity
of raw materials railroad embargoes,
etc. Drug and Chemical Markets will

Price changes in drugs and fine chem
