Fus.

Members of the fur trade last
week showed some elation at the
better prices ruling for most furs
at the auction in Montreal.
On the other hand. a depressing
factor appeared in the announce
ment OF the International Fur def
cit of several million dollars.
The st. Louis Arm has been con-
ducting winter, spring and fall
auctions in that city for several
years, and rose to tho position of
the largest sellers Of furs In the
world. IL Is said. The position Of
the company at present, according
to the announcement. was brought
about by the decline in value and
the bankruptcy Of some of its Gus
toners.
The manufacturing end OF the
fur trade is quiet. A few retailers
are closing out the remainder Of
last winters stock.
Indications point to the holding
Of the usual retail fur sales in
August, which will start the manu-
featuring trade on Its new season
next month at the latest For the
present prices appear fairly well
stabilized.

Apparel.

The mems apparel trade last
week swung into its fall selling
season with the opening of lead
Ing lines In various producing CEN
ters.
From Rochester II was reported
that retailers were found willing
to place orders for between 20 and
30 per cent OF their normal fall
and winter requirements. In New
York and other centers this figure
10 regarded as a bit high.
Fali prices are about 35 per cent
under those of a year ago, and
most of the lines now open are at
the same levels as spring prices.
or about 10 per cent under.

Wholesale, IL showing the usual
sluggishness Of the between sea-
sons period.
Plans are being made on fall
production. Manufacturers are de-
termined to go into the fall sea-
son on q lower wage basis than
obtained during the spring.
Negotiations looking toward a
new working agreement in the
cloak and suit trade have been
broken of. but are expected to be
resumed shortly.
