A fair demand and good prices for
staple furs, but weak prices for most
fancy furs, was registered yesterday at

Masonic Temple.
Sable and fisher, two Of the better

other fancy fur, was fairly steady
Prices for otter and HEAVIER, which are
largely used for trimming, were good,
and skunk prices were about fair, with
interest shown only in the best lots.
As on the opening day, bidders
showed disposition to avoid specula-
tive advances and a desire TO obtain
goods as cheaply as possible, regard
less of the effect Of low prices upon
the general market. Considerable buy
ing back of furs by shippers, who had
put them in the sale because bidding
failed TO bring prices up to the ship

Retailers Ready TO Purchase
Large Quantities of Hand
Picked Goods: DressCom-
bine Removed i'm Trade

Retailers from all over the country
are registering fairly good demand
for women's spring and summer gar
ments in The local wholesale markets.
All factors in the trade report a
broadening of demand, but it appears
to be kcener on the lower priced mer-
chandisc than on the more expensive
goods.
Wash dresses already are beginning
to move in good quantities. although
the retail season for them has not yet
begun. Manufacturers are Offering
more attractive styles in this type OF
garment than for many seasons past
and prices are considerably lower than
year ago In some quarters of the
market dresses Of imported gin9hams
are beng offered AS low as $40 a
dozen wholesale.
throughout the country are in the
market for large quantities of both
mems and women's apparel with which
to conduct early spring sales. These
stores are offering cash, in many cases,
for large lots at low prices. Although
buyers are having no difficulty in OBJ
tanning plenty of merchandise. the
broader market has curtailed much Of
the price cutting and underselling that
usually charactcrizes dull period in
the garment trades.
Efforts are being made in the dress
industry, it is rumorcd, to form large
combination of small contractors to
deal directly with retailers and to
standardize and finance production in
such a manner as to eliminate the
forced selling that results when the
small factors in the trade are unable
to properly finance themselves
