NEW YORK, August 5.-With less
than a month remaining before Labor
day, both buyers arrivals and pur-
6fases for Fall in the New York, mar
Yet continue substantially below year
ago. Resident offices reported that ar
rivals Monday were under expectations,
indicating that this week will bring no
revival OF the trend since the start OF
the wholesale season.
The slight pickup which has de-
veloped in the purchase of women's
shoes for the Fall has emphasized the
strong position of blacks for the new
season. Estimates indicated that at
least go per cent of the business Is in
black shoes, 25 per cent in brown and
the remainder scattered over green's,
blues and wine tones.
No immediate reductions in the price
of percales are contemplated by the
leading factors of the trade, canvass
of large producers has disclosed. While
some quarters regard 1t as advisable to
walt until the new lines are opened,
about September l., there is strong
possibility that action to revise prices
downward will be taker before that
date, the trade believes. 1t was said
that the present time is not too pro-
pitious for cuts.

summoned by the defense to prove
that Lila was not the writer Of the
