Chicago Wholesaler Predicts rs
Per Cent Reduction.
Says Manufacturers and Retailers Will
Make Small Profits-Material
Coming Down.

Chicago-Bertram ]. Calm, presi-
dent of the Wholesale Clothiers' asNo.
citation of Chicago, has forecast a re.
duction in clothing prices, which he
said will be even more noticeable, in
spring goods, it was announced.
Mr.. Calm asserted that manufacture
ers will make small profits this fall
and asserted that many clothiers were
foregoing profits and selling at cost.
He predicted, however, that material
costs would be lowered by spring, and
wooden mills will have announced a
cut of from 20 to rs per cent for spring
goods. With labor's cooperation. in in
creased production, he foresaw still
further reductions in prices.
Mr.. Cahn's statement, it was said,
was authorized by the National Asso-
citation of Clothiers as the first anthem
tic statement on the present clothing
situation.
Mr.. Calm emphasized that the de-
cline must be gradual, as a sudden
slump frightens the retail buyer, who
reduces the amount Of his orders. This
cuts down production and a shortage
of clothing results, Mr.. &Cahn said.

per cent profits which he promised,
those who expected him to lead them

number in 1900 was 5,737,372 show

Der of farms in 1920 as compared with

pared with the number in 1910 or 1915
per cent. The number in 1910 had de-
creased from the number in 1900 by

pulation is Placed at 2,386,371,
a Gain of IS Per Cent.

Washington-The 1920 population Of
continental United States was an
nounced by the census bureau as 1885,
6S3,10S. This was an increase of 49,
71O,S42. or 14.9 per cent since 1910.
This total does not include the popu-
lations of outlying possessions, which
will be announced as soon as the figures
for Alaska and the military and naval
services abroad are tabulated. 1t is
estimated, however, that those posses
sions have ,25O 900 inhabitants, SO
the total number of people living I'm
der the American flag is, in rough mum,
bers, lis, 100000.
The figures for continental United
States compare with 81, ,266 ten
years ago and rs, 1894, SIS twenty years
ago. The increase for the last decade,
however, fell ~2,266,S49, or 81 per
cent, below that of the preceding dec.
ade.
Director Rogers Of the census bu,
Teau, in a formal statement, attributed
this reduction to the almost complete
stoppage of immigration during the
world war, an increase in emigration
during the same period, deaths in the
influenza epidemic of 1917-1S and war
casualties.
Trend to Cities Noted.
The statement noted that the trend
OF population from the country to the
city had been greatly accentuated
since 1910. For the first time in the
country's history, it said, more than
half the entire population was now
living in urban territory.
Preliminary t%abulations, Mr.. Rogers
said, showed that 54,S16,209, or SIS
per cent of the people, were living in
incorporated places of $500 inhabi
tants or more. and $685. 99, or 4S.1
per cent, in rural territory.
This situation was clearly reflected
in the figures as to farms in the coun
try, which also were made public
These placed the total Of farms a
6,459,99S, an increase of only 9S,496
or Is per cent, in ten years, as agains
an increase of 624, 13O, or 100 PEI
cent, during the decade ended in 1910
Minnesota Gains is Per Cent.
Minnesota, with a population O
2,3S6,371, which is a gain of Is pc.

seventeenth state in the Union, jump
ing from the nineteenth place. Ala
bama and Tennessee were the twt
states passed. Minnesota is next tt
Iowa with less than 10000 separating
the two.
Mr.. Rogers stated that while thes,
figures on the country's population
were preliminary and subject to revi
sion, the final official population al
transmitted to Congress in Decembe
for apportionment purposes was no
likely to be greatly different, although
it might be slightly larger through tn
