Apparel.

This is between seasons for the
wholesale apparel trades. and lit
tie activity In reported. The New
York markets are filled with buy
ers looking for bargains. that Ia.
job lots on which manufacturers
are willing to shade prices.
II In believed. from reports from
both buyers and sellers. that the
surplus stocks are smaller than
they have been at the end of
previous seasons for some time
back.
In the retail trade women's
garments are moving we'll. largely
under the influence of attractive
prices.
Fall samples are being prepared
in both the mems and women's
clothing houses. and will be
ready for the early buyers by the
end OF the month.
The award OF a 10 per cent
wage reduction by the board of
arbitration in tho Chicago mems
clothing market has given manu-
facturers in other producing cen
ters hopes OF further reductions
in manufacturing costs.
The slight reduction. however.
Is regarded as e1ertinE only a
snail Influence on the price ol
finished garments. The manufac-
turers. II Is recalled. demanded
q 25 per cent wage cut.

Leather.

Signs that the leather trade is
slowly but surely throwing off
the yoke of ouietude which the
industry found itself in since last
year were shown last week In re-
ports by leather men.
As anticipated. the demand for
leather specialties continued to
fall off. but at the same time q
broadening in the demand for tho
more staple lines was perceptible.
More interest was manifested
each week in leather for mems
shoes and also fashionable colors
Tor women's shoes. Prices in
some varieties of leather have
stiffened somewhat. and In other
lines there Is less tendency to
shade prices than heretofore.
A report from France had II
that prices offered on leather
are lower than prices realized in
offerings Of top grade Kid are
said to be selling at the eouiva-
lent of IS cents. according to this
report

Woolens.

Tho wooden and worsted trades
continue to show steady improve
ment. The action Of some of the
larger producers in cutting down
orders has strengthened the mar
ket. and buyers. especially cloak
and suit manufacturers assert
that iobbers have advanced prices
considerably on high grade fab
rics. The lower grades are rirm
but show no advance.
Among the most active fabrics
for immediate use are the home
spuns and tweeds that are going
into women's suits and skirts and
and to a great extent into mems
clothing Gs we'll.
These are IN strong demand for
the summer season and are carry
ing through into the fall orders
now being booked. In mems
wear the strongest selling goods
for suits are the herrinRbones and
pencil stripes.
Raw wool Is still sluggish ard
shows no price changes. In the
London GALES most grades de-
clined from 10 to Is per cent last
week.

ancient and honorable repre-
sentative of the old-fashioned
school of bankers. He will
not wait on you until he has
counted a pile of ancient and
worn-out one-dollar bills. But
the ancient and ragged one
dollar bills will fool no one
today. Prestige and Pifle
will not get many new ac-
counts. The new school of
banking which knows how to
use the daily newspapers will
get the business, and while
they are getting the business
they will perform a useful
service to the community by
teaching people the uses and
functions of a bank.
All advertising in the news
paper is invested with a hu-
man interest appeal which
cannot be put into street car
cards, or folders, or book
lets. The trouble with the
street car is that it does not
60 into the home. Of course
it has its value to the mer-
chant or manufacturer-all
advertising has some value.
A lonely billboard by the road
side may be seen some time
by a man with a flat tire
but If his car is running right
along at the usual speed he
will not be able to tell you
what was on the billboard.
| am persuaded after many
years of experience that the
only kind of advertising that
really pays Is 'home-adver-
tising''-advertising that goes
into the home and stays there
until each member of the
family has seen ii and abb
sorbed ii many times.

Advances in the worlds primary
raw silk market were reflected by
. moving up In New York quota
tions during the week. Some of
the gains for the period were
fully Is cents q pound.
Silk manufacturers however.
are not following the market up
with any degree Of avidity. The
fact that large shipments of raw
silk hays been landed on the Pa
cific Coast and are now on their

tho shortage in some sizes and

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Trade Developments Of the Week

Cross currents continued TO
manifest themselves in the busi-
ness world last week, but In the
main the trend Is still toward
steady improvement. The read
justment Of steel prices was
looked upon by men in other
lines Of business as . favorable
development, chiefly in that 1t
tends to restore. the old normal
ratios among prices. There is
an underlying belief that COM
plete readjustment to q new
normal is greatly dependent
upon the stabilization Of prices
in about the same interrelation
that they bore before the war.
The textile, clothing. shoe and
allied trades continue to make
definite progress. although it is
still slow.
The disposition Of retailers in
these lines to buy in small guam
titles for immediate needs only
prcdominates IN all wholesale
markets, although In . few lines
there is Q noticeable tendency
to worlr furfher into the f,,tr,re.
1t is difficult to determine how
much of the Improvement in
these lines has been due to
purely seasonal buying and how
much to restored confidence In
present prices and the ability Of
the public to consume merchan-
disc.
The steadiness of retail trade
is q feature Of the general situa-
tion that favors optimism As
revealed in the countrywide sur
vey in The Washington Times,
retail trade has not been seri-
ously impaired by unemploy-
ment, or decreased purchasing
power arising through other
causes.
Retail trade was held back to
some extent last week by unsea-
sonable weather, but merchants
are confident that warmer and
brighter days will revive shop
ping in large volume.

noting friendly relations between

defections from the group
of fRepublican Senators opposing

The Republican opposition was first
claimed to be at least twenty-five,

"Say 1t Every Day.

Even the casual observer
who makes no study of Ad-
vertising cannot fail to no.
tice the steady drift of the
national advertisers toward
the newspapers. Names that
formerly loomed large in
monthly publications are now
putting across daily news
messages in the newspapers.
Not all of these national ad-
vertisers 60 out of the maya
zines. They are still popu-
larizing their Trademarks by
using the pictorial presentation
that is made possible in the
magazines; but they have
now attained a nationwide
distribution of their products
that make it necessary to do
intensive advertising. In other
words, they must reach the
largest number of possible
consumers in each locality
and they must reach them
every day.
1t is the daily iteration and
reiteration that does the trick
in Advertising. Each day in
history multiplies human ac-
tivity and intensifies human
interest In other words,
there are more things to do
than there were fifty years
ago-more things to occupy
thought and distract attention.
An advertisement in the news
paper is not seen every day
by every reader of that paper,
hence the necessity for daily
repetition and for the en-
ployment of all the clever
ingenuity of the resourceful
