SLIGHT lKICB DECL1NL
I'Olt FALL WEARING AITAIIKL
. M. Vauilul of the Yaminl Dry
GimmIs Co . returned this week from
New York nnd other big markets
vhere he piircli:iel Ills fall stocks.
Mr. Yiiuilui Is a man of analytical
mind a tloe olwe'-ver iitul u student
in iiiarhet coudltlous. Ills oli-'rva-
ions with regnjrd to the very ubiior-
mat conditions eNllng In ufl ruiu-h-
i- or iimiasiry are not ouiy iiitercMtiug
but Informiitive. Interviewed by a
rejAirter from the Dally American. Mr.
Yaminl oitercil Into the underlying
muxes for high prices the Influence
on local retail niarkeand the proli-
cide trend of business during the com-
ing mouths.
Prices fn geuernl. In his lines lie
concludes will be from five to ten per
iclit lower to the consumer than here-
tofore. In some lint's the differences
will e more pronounced. In others
hero is such scarcity thnt no price re
duction need be looked for. For In
stance. In khaki nud gabardines It is
nearly !miosslbie to get nn order lin-
ed. In silks there Is a reduction due
to the raw material decline yet the
difference In price of a garment will
be Immaterial. Wool Is In the Bume
category lower prices on raw" product
but cost of manufacture so high that
Ihe stilt will not show great decline.
It is the tobor cost which is mainly
responsible for maintenance of prices
nnd the slight general decline while
much in the aggregate Is not to Ik felt
materially lnv ordinary small retail
purchase. The advanced freight rote-
does not hit the dry good trade heav-
ily as practically all shipments are
now made by express or parcel isst.
Express rates will add to costs In the
advanced rote probably obliterating
the savlngr In factory pi leca in many
lines.
Mr. Yaminl stales that he bought
his fall stock complete nnd that lie
has no dllllculty In getting his orders
shlpiH'd. a big Improvement over con-
ditions of the ne.ir past lie is u be-
liever In Itrcckeiirhlge and In the :
