STRIPED TIES FEATURE.

All doubt as to what effects will be
most prominent in Spring lines of
mems cut silk neckwear is removed
by the apparent unanimity of manu-
faeturers that there will he con-
tinuance of stripes in bright colors.
Ranking next, in the number of lines
in which they are included. are all
kinds OF plaids and checks. Warp
print effects in all-over or striped
patterns will also be shown. In the
more striking novelties will be in
ciuded MORE stripes in loud" COM
binations, as we'll as MORE plaid eff
fects. 1t is expected that ties of
printed foulards. twills. failles, crepes
and silk and wool will also have quite
a cali. The demand for all-over JAG
guard effects has fallen off, and there
will probably not be a revival of this
class of merchandise before next fall.
The leading colors for spring are
tans, light blues, light grays and

PETT1CoAT BUYERS BUSY.

Little complaint Is heard now about
the volume of business which petit
coat makers are receiving. In the
wake of the longer skirt mode a bet
ter demand materialized and bust
ness has already reached substantial
proportions. Most buying is for i'm
mediate delivery. retailers having 6
bought very lightly when the sales
men were on the road carrier in the
year. In order of preference the silk
jersey goods are leading. with ra-
diums next. Some satins are being
sold. and every now and then there is
a call for taffetas. The staple colofs
such as black and navy, are what
consumers are buying most. these
shades being followed by brown and
taupe. In the west, however. there
is a noticeable demand for the "high-
err shades.

MEMS HAT OUTLOOK GOOD.

Mems hat makers have little to
complain of as far as their fall busl-
ness is concerned. They had very
good advance business and now they
are receiving a substantial volume of
recorders. The dominance of the tan
and gray shades is readily shown by
the duplicate business which Is be-
ing placed in them. Statesmen are
now on the road for spring. 1t is still
tee early, however, to get any idea of
the way the demand for the coming
aeasen will shape up. either as to
volume OF styles likely to be most
desired. Makers are confident of an
excellent spring business, taking their
orders for the current season as a
criterion.

SEABOARD TRAFFIC COSTLY.

Earnings of the Seahoard Air Line
for August, while showing better
traffic conditions than in July, also
disclose the fact that movement OF
traffic was much more expensive. Its
gross revenues were S3.391,0OO or
about SlS0.000 greater than in July
and 100000 greater than in August
of last year, but its net operating
income was only $46,6s7 in August
as compared with s3e5.000 in July.
This net. however, compares with a
deficit in August last year Of $l66, 900.
For eight months OF this year the
company reports net operating income
of $2.403.000, as compared with 3461,-
600 in the same period last year and
a deficit of over $5.000,000 in 1920.
This net operating income for eight

that Of the whole of last year.
