ing figure. Mills, however. are loath
to accept even the higher figure for
anything but spot delivery. Narrow
constructions were somewhat quieter.
Sheetings were fairly firm, as there
is some demand in evidence from the
Levant for 3-yard goods. Shirt max
ers took some fine goods, but pajama
checks, drills and sateens were list
less.
Raw silk was quiet and about un-
changed. rejecting the condition of
the oriental primary centers. De-
mand for broad silks was slightly
better. and knit goods showed some
activity.

AID IN SHOE SELLING.

NEW YORK, March s-The method
used by a local shoe dealer to dem
onstrate the quality of shoes that he
Is selling attracts attention. The
dealer has had "a shoe cut in halt
that one may visualize not only its
material but the manner of making
it. He contends that merely to tell a
customer that a shoe which he is
examining is of the best materials and
constructed properly does not always
convince him. The method has been
found to be a great selling aid and
incidentally saves much argument.
