PRICE TREND DOWNWARD <
ON CLOTHING AND SHOES Prices
of wearing apparel, which ^
showed an upward tendency during the World
war and have continued to climb (
since the cessation of hostilities, appear \
to have reached the peak and now are j
beginning to seek a lower level.
Leading leather men of the country (
at the annual spring meeting of the \
Tanners' Council of the United States
in Atlantic City, N. J., declared that ,
leather used in the manufacture of i
shoes haB reached its maximum figure. |
It was asserted, however, that it will 1
take three or four monthB before the
consumer begins to enjoy the reduction. <
A drop throughout the textile mar- 1
kot is foreshadowed in a sale of '
3,000,000 yards of silk in Chicago at
reductions of from 50 cents to $2 a
yard. It is held this makes silks
relatively cheaper than cotton goods,
which fact, it is predicted, will force
an early slashing in cotton priceB.
Eleven hundred milliners in session
in NeM York city decided against a
boost in the price of summer hats.
The milliners made no mention of >
prices of autumn headwear.
The heaviest cut in prices has been
in the clothing market. In Topeka,
Kan., an established clothing house has ^
announced it will sell men's suits for
a period of 24 days without profit to
the store. The sale will be checked
by the State fair price commission.
In New York and Philadelphia, large
department stores have announced a
. reduction of 20 per cent, in all goods,
including shoes, clothing, and other
* necessities. Their sates, it >s asserted, I
are eclipsing all former holiday records.
The theory of the Bales, it is
stated, is that the creation of a greater
den and will force production from an
easy waiK inio a sun iroi, wun me
result that production in volume will be
cheaper and hence all prices will come
down. Already it is announced wholesalers
are quoting lower prices, in an
effort to cooperate with retail merchants.
War Cost 35,000,000 Lives.
The total cost of the World war in
lives has reached the appalling figure
of 36,380.000 according to final estimates
by the Copenhagen society for
the study of the consequences of the
war. These figures were reached after
un exhaustive study of the decrease in
the birth rates of the countries involved,
as well as increase in deaths
from causes directly attributed to the
war.
Actual military deaths in killed totaled
9,329,000, according to the re- |
|>ort. Each European nation involved I
lost the equivalent of 8.8 per cent, of I
f. ?n o?u I
iw jiupuiauun iiuiu an tauors. natu
nation's actual killed equaled 2.5 per
cent, of its population.
Serbia was the heaviest sufferer of
all the nations involved in the war.
