ALL TWO AND THREE-PIECE SUMMER SUtTS AT 25 Per Cent Reduction mm ro taxvs, von so o gay am ui rARGERS FACE SERIOUS PROBLEM JJ SHORTAGE OF GRAHJ BAGS May Not Interfere WHri Handling of Crop but Will Mean ' t Increased Coat. t , REASONS GIVEN FOR HIGH PRICES ASKED Pile of Rawftterlal High fa Cal- - cutta and ' Restricted ' Output of ' Factories Besponaible for Shortage and Advance Duty Cuts Figure. J ( The shortage of grain bags la the Pad no north west la a aerioua problem to tbe fanners and Its full effect can hot be told for some time. There la a bare chance that tbe shortage will not interfere with the handling of the crop, bat It will ooat tbe fanners considerably more 'to-sack their wheat thla season than It baa for several years, aa tbo prloe of bags today la 1 cents higher ' than a yea ago. ' Oa an sstlmate of 44.000,000 sacks to be used, this means that the farmere of tho Pectfle northwest will have to pay to the bac manufacturers between 4740,000 and 41.000.000 more than they did a year ago. Thla Increase, tho bag manufacturers declare. Is due to the Cal cutta market, tho canter for lute, mm the piioe in that market for Jute la higher today from 14 to 40 per oent than It has been la the past 40 years. -. Mr. Ames, of Ames. Harris 4V Neville, one ef the largest bag manufacturing concerns on the Paclfle coast, yester day made aa Interesting statement re garding the grain .bag situation. Be '-said! .'. "Bags today are bringing 1 tents . each, and I see ao prospects of a re daction. The cause for this Increased , price is the Calcutta market for raw material. Today the price In Calcutta for raw material la higher than It had been for 40 yeara They are receiving more for Jute there than I have known to be paid since ths civil war. . The flguree of the prlcee la Calcutta would give little Information, and about the only statement I could make that would srlve aa Idea ef the advance would be to say that the prices range from 20 to 40 per cent more than X have ever 'known them to be. Frloe Bid Vet Bros. ' "When the prices In Calcutta com menced to mount the manufacturer In ' America did not lay In a very large stock of raw material, as they all ex pected the price to break, but Instead it has kept ollmblng; therefore. In view of these restricted purchases of raw material, the manufactured product has fallen off. On top of this low produc tion, which affects the Paciflo coast, came the Ban Francisco disaster and an enormous wheat crop In California. In the San Francisco fire t estimate that something like- 4.(00,000 to 4,000,000 bags were destroyed, and not 4,000,000, as some of the estimates make It, but this shortage, together with the great crop In California, has made a shortage that Is having a direct effect oa the Paclfle coast" .. "Does ths -customs duty en the raw material have any great effect r was asked. "I do not think 'the present situation ran be laid ta that .cause. . The duty Is a combination one of specific and ad valorem and I should estimate that It makes today a difference of from IV.. to 1 H cents per bag. being based on the Calcutta market, but 'the cause of all la ths Calcutta market, where we have to buy our raw material. There are ruber reasons which make the price of i sea this year seem excessive. Ia l01, 1104 and 104 there was sa overproduc tion of bags and the manufacturers bad to sell them for less than cost. In those years bags were remarkably low. , lst year tbe price was t cents, and 1 dare say that the manufacturers made more last year with bags at cents than they do today at l centa I know we did, for we did not have to pay any where near the high price for Jute that e nave to do today. ' l Tiers is eat thing that X lilnk J oaa make clear, and that la, that aa far as we were able to learn there Is. no combination In the-Calcutta market to make a uniform price or to control the market. We bought of several parties and each of them Quoted aa different prices, which seems to ms to dispel any Idea of a combination to maintain nrlcea. From the Information I have been able to obtain I feel that ths high price of raw. material Is d us to. two things. One of these, and possibly .the most Impor tant, is laoor troubles In Calcutta. There were strikes, and the Jute men could not get out their products. .- The other cause, and It la also Important. Is aa increased demand for burlap goods 'of ail tunas. These two things have kept the price of raw material up and they with tbe fact that the American manu- facturers made llgat purchases la ths expectation of the market breaking has caused ins bag shortage.' ' Wha lbs Bvty If earns. , Mr. Ames statement that the cus toms duty adds from 1 to ltt osats to the cost of each bag Is of great In terest to ths farmers. If this duty was removed bags this year would be selling at aa advance of only 4 to H cent ever the prloe last year,' even in ths face of. the great advance In the price of raw material. - This Is easily seen from the fact that ths total ad vance la 14 cents, and If ths tariff is removed the advance would be very slight. . Ia years whsn ths bag pro duction is up to ths proper mark the reduction. If the tariff was removed. would cut Quite a figure. The Increased price this year Is due to two things the high price of tho raw material and the restricted output of factories. With a normal factory 'production and ths tariff removed . on raw material some of those who are familiar v with - the trads claim the bags would cost Isss than they did In ltOS. ' - ; V That thla -tariff ls Increasing the price of bags this year practically 1H cents each te believed by many and Is evidenced from a recently published letter of Kerr, Glfford 4k Co the grain exporters, which says: "We consider the exaction of this duty a decided imposition oa tne . farmer. and so far aa ws dan see It protects only the few bag manufacturers In- the east" , .., . . . THREE MILES OF CIRCUS PARADE COMING TO TOWN The parade with which the great Adam Forepaugh and Sells Brothers' enormous shows will begin Is announced to leave the exhibition ' grounds at 14 o'clock promptly, and go over the prin cipal business streets. This free page- act has been enlarged and magnified so that It presents mora dsasling features than were ever seen In a display of this kind before." "All of ths men, women' and children connected with the shew will have some part therein. There are more than a .thousand people employed by the immense enterprise. Many of ths animal cages will be open, end the little folks will have a special division for their delight. Pert end berlbbonsd ponies end graven counterfeits of fairy land ideals with roly-poly clowns are conspicuous factors in this section for ths little people. - Lumbering elephants,, three great herds of them, supporting enoumled thrones with radiant canonist and flashing embellishments, and gor geously garbed and beleweled riders of the great nations of the world, meekly following camels, soldiery types of all nations, graoeful women riders fashion, ably gowned, famous equestrians, spir ited horses of blue-blooded pedigree, musical vehicles of recent Invention and tremendous volume end tableau floats with picturesque groupings of racial types, and a hundred and ons other Items, some of which are familiar, and many more refreshingly novel and fas cinating, are woven Into the three miles of processional glories.
