|lAN'S QUEER PETS
nlmals and Birds That Have
Figured in History.
|sath Of King Alexander Of Greece,
Credited to Bite u Monkey. Calls
Forth "Reminiscences.

III The report, which later was denied,
MAT King Alexander Of Greece died

BALES Of a young koala. or Australian

;tizSrd, during his trip around the
world, bring to mind the peculiar pets
81 nations and of famous men and
women Of history. says q bulletin from
the Washington headquarters OF the
National Geographic society.
The natives Of Pisa, Italy. kept
tame eagles. The F1orentines kept
lions, and the Romans had wolves, the
latter as an outgrowth of the Romulus-
Remus story of the foundation OF the
city. Many peoples besides the Ro-
mans have made pets Of wolves. De-
spite their proverbial ferocity In the
Wild state. many. taken as cubs. grow
tame and manifest the traits of q
faithful dog as 4 companion.
The history of the sport Of hawk
ing, or falconry. engaged In to some
extent today. extends to prehistoric
times and recalls the intelligent devo-
ton displayed by the pet hawk OF
Genghis Khan, which three times In
succession dashed q cup of water out
of the hand Of its master. who was
thirst-parched after q hunt, In order
to save his life. The water had been
COLLECTED drop by drop from pool on
1.-THE height of cliff. When the hawk
had deliberately knocked the cup from
his hand for the third time and at
last sent 1t spinning between the rocks,
the master drew his sword and killed
the bird. Then he YEARLY climbed
/ the cliff, only to find the dead body Of
the most poisonous variety Of snnke
coIled at the bottom Of the clear pool.
Monkeys have nearly always been
general favorites, perhaps because Of
the uncanny intelligence they show.
The pathetic little beggars with the
organ grinders on our streets, the
mascots Of airplanes. and Prof. Car
piles. King Solomon had apes brought
into his kingdom once In every three
years. and after stating this fact. the
account naively adds that he exceeded
iall the kings Of the earth for wisdom.
The part played by dogs and horses
lin the World war Is complete story
In itself. but cats, chickens. cows, and
goats shared with them the honors
among the boys In France. The cats
in the trenches furnished amusement.

have no fear Of bullets. but manifested
. high degree Of annoyance when her
glossy coat was spattered with mud
during the process Of washing her
face and combing her fur on the top
Of . parapet
Every child has heard the story of
Dick Whittington's cat which was sent

Causes of the Advances.

Many causes have contributed to this
remarkable advance, such as easier
money. more confidence by buyers OF
stockr, fewer sellers of securities. after
the heavy liquidation OF last year. &c.
But back OF each lies the fundamenta nj
factor of business Improvement. The
stock market IL always some months
ahead or reel business advancement and
this chara acteristic was not missing from
tho present upward swing.
The prices OF stocks completed their
many months OF steady decline last sum-
mcr and the upward movement began
directly afterward. IL was hesitant at
first. but confidence was graduly given
10 operators and the buying OF stocks
soon became voluminous.
IL was not until close 10 the end OF
the year, however. that the real improve
ment In business began to he reflected
IA the earnings and operations state
rnente., and IL was not until well into
this year that the advance was so
marked as to warrant the resumption or
Increase IN dividend payments which
either had been abandoned or materially
cut down during the depression.
Speculation. too. played a prominent
part Always ready TO take advantage
OF an expected move, operators began 10
buy stocks In the fab and by tho time
the general stock buying public was able
operators had accumulated huge lines OF
stocks and had handsome pronts.

both immediate and future delivery.
Silk hosiery was the most prominent
in the Improvement. and this was gener-
ally regarded as Indicating better con-
ditions throughout the trade. Bathing
suit demand revived considerably and
refill orders were OF sizable amounts
Prices remained unchanged. Generally
better weather conditions were account
able for the Improvement shown In the
knitted outerwear trades. Scarfs and
sweaters were In good demand. A
slight Improvement was also noted in
underwear lines.
While nothing in the nature of a
boom is anticipated in the near future,
the feeling is general In the trade that
the delay in filling requirements, COM
bined with lessened output. is the
factor which will make for steadily
Improving market conditions. Price
concessions. which have been one of
the greatest drawbacks TO a normal
development, are decreasing, and this,
together with the better demand shown
for future goods will improve sentiment
concerning values of merchandise on

BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Fur Sale Closes With Bidding
Most Active for Squirrel
and Raccoon.

The largest attendance since it's open
ing on last Monday featured the closing
session of the New York Auction Com
pany's spring fur auction sale on
Saturday. An offering OF 1928 squir-
rel skins and a good assortment of
raccoon brought forth the days active
bidding. The former brought market
value prices and the raccoon equale1
Its February sales figures. Small lots
OF civet cat, kolinsky and Norther,
wild cat showed q 10 per cent. increase
compared with the last auction sales
figures. and all other lots showed un-
changed prices or declines. The attend
ance was estimated at 500.
Considerable interest was shown in
the raccoon offering, and competition
was keen. Sellers were prepared to
protect the lots, but buyers took the
Initiative and quickly absorbed the en-
tire offering. The cloak and suit trades
were the most active buyers. Squir-
rel, which was the last assortment Of
fered, was likewise a subject rcr gen.
eral interest. the highest price bid being
$1.32 and the lowest 5000, which was
paid for a poor lot OF trimming skins.
Few, if any, of the skins were be-
lieved to have been bought back by
their owners. Offerings Of fitch. nu-
trias and Persians were without inter
est and were mostly bid in " owners.
The official percentage increases or
decreases, compared with the February
sales figures. were as follows: Civet
cat, 40 fitch, ---15 kolinsl5y. -t10; nu-
trias, 10 Persians, 10; northern wild
cat. -t10: southern wild cat. unchanged.

broadening Use of ycIvets.

A revival of tho use of velvets for
trimming on women's coats and suits
for fall wear is foreshadowcd I'm some
models being shown in the local market
A few higher priced sample lines are
featuring velvets for lining purposes, but
that vogue is not general. Chiffon vel
vets are being most widely used. Cloak
and suit houses are not featuring velvet
lined garments to any great extent. how
ever, but are showing them more as
novelty effects TO add variety 10 staple
lines. Manufacturers and importers of
velvet are optimistic concerning the fall
outlook despite present restricted orders
for immediate needs. Little future busi
ness has been booked to date.

Snort SILK. selling Better.

Silk merchants who have been deplor-
Ing lack of demand evidenced for knit
ted silk fabrics are more cheerful con-
ceinlng the spring outlook generally
because of IL revived demand, reflected
in sales over the counter in the last
week and which has resulted in retailers
coming into the market for fill In goods.
Many jobbers have been caught with
winter stocks OF heavier knitted silk
fabrics. which they had despaired of
selling until fall. Although immediate
sales are small. jobbers hope that th3
activity which developed last week will
accumulate to sizable proportions be-
fore consumers turn to other fabrics.

Lack of Novelties in worsteds.

Factors In the trade who havs studied
the situation agree that lack of novelty
features i'm worsted lines is the funda-
mental cause for much of their present
slack business. They point to steadily
mounting sales OF tweeds in proof OF
their contention. SO long as the craze
for novelties continues the worsted bust
ness will have only minimum orders. IL
is believed. The markets slightly i'm
proved tone in the last few days Is
creating optimism in the trade to tho
extent that some are predicting good
business for fall. II is pointed out
that this IS fundamentally worstcd
wearing country. and that sooner or
later the reaction in favor Of worsteds
will come.
