ONLY SLIGHT RAISE
IN CLOTHING PRICES
Tariff to Cause But $3.50
Jump in Best 0yercoat,'
Says Bureau.

Retail prices on fall and winter
clothing will be only slightly In.
creased as a result Of the new tariff
bill, which went into effect last week.
Statistics substantiating this state
ment were made public today by the
Better Business Bureau of Washing
ton. and viewed from the standpoint
Of a maximum increase they show:
That on twenty-eight-ounce cloth
in overcoats (without a mohair lining,
which is of wool. and might increase
the total cost slightly the maximum
increase to the consumer on an ulster
style overcoat would be $50.
That on a thirty to thirty-two ounce
type, which is often used, there would
be a proportionately higher price.
This increase, however. could not ex-
coed 81 cents per ounce, SO, the Bet
ter Business Bureau says, the max
imum possible increase would not be
over $3.50 on thirty-two-ounce mate
rial.
On fall suits, the statistics point
out, this increase In price of material
would mean maximum jump OF $2-s5
over prices under the old tariff.
The bureaus figures were compiled
; in conjunction with the National As
sociation of Retail Clothiers and their
state organiza lions. F. A. Ellenwood,
I vice president of the national asso-
/ citation, at the convention of that
, body in New York last week. declarea
| in an address that the tariff would
| not bring about an increase in the
price Of clothing material. This con-
