/, AT REDUCED PRICES
Spring Lines for Mems Wear
Generally Show Quotations
Lower Than Year Ago.

The American Woolen Company
brought its showings for next spring to
a close yesterday when it opened the
balance of it's lines OF mems wear semi
staples and fancy worsted fabrics.
1t was difficult to determine the trend
of prices. but it was said that the
company showed fabrics at prices that
are lower than the values obtaining on
the general run of fabrics for last
spring. This was held to mean that the
prices named yesterday will enable
cothiers to turn out suit made of good
material and of fine appearance at prices
which the public are demanding.
One OF the features OF the showing is
that three-quarters of the lines opened
yesterday were priced below $3.50 a
yard. whereas at the last spring showing
only one-quarter Of the lines were priced
below this figure. Another feature Is
that In department 2, that for fancy
worsteds, the two ply both ways all
worsted fabrics were opened at s1.47h
yard. This price compares with
s1.77h, which was the lowest for SINH
lar fabrics at the last spring opening.
although the above mentioned fabric is
a better piece of material for style, &c.
