BUSINESS NOTES
AND TRADE NEWS
Hat Manufacturers Are Opti-
mistic-Buying Of Shrunks
Is Brisk.

Manufacturers OF women's hats are
frankly optimistic with regard to spring
business. Last Tuesday saw the arrival
of many out of town buyers. and sales
of the last few days, according to several
dealers. have been all that could be de-
sired. Most buying. however, is for i'm
mediate needs, but within another week
local jobbers and dealers anticipate the
arrival of far Western buyers who will
re in the market for spring and summer
hats. A tendency for smaller brimmed
hats in faille silk and fabrics is notice
able. Henna is the predominating color
and brown and navy blue have second
choice.

Good Sale. of Denim Reported.

The announcement of Wednesdays
advance of half cent a yard on all
lines of denim by the Cone Export and
Commission Company was considered
by mills a most encouraging sign. Ac-
tive sales were reported yesterday and
late in the afternoon the rumor thai
other holders were contemplating with
drawing their offers of 16R cents in
view Of the demand at II cents was
current. Opinion as to whether or not
prices will be advanced still further
appears TO be equally divided, but on
one point at least commission mer-
chants are all agreed and that is that
present prices are still below normal
and below the level at which the mills
can operate successfully.

Fair Sale of white Goods.

The sale of white goods in linen de-
partments of stores is falling below
earlier expectations of merchants. The
present unreasonable weather is said to
be the greatest individual factor in the
case. That part OF the public which has
patronized sales to date is looking for
price merchandise. irrespective of quail
ity. Most demand is for better grades
and all pure linen. but prices, in most
instances. are sufficiently high to make
buyers hesitate. Collars, doilies and
handkerchiefs are having good sales, but
the sale of other classes of white goods
is light.
