NEW YORK, July 1.—The seasonal quiet which prevails in many lines of | the dry moods trade is a favorable sign of the return to normal condi- tions rather than an indication of de- pression, according to one factor prominent in the industry today. “Business men are prone to forget. he said, “that in the normal years be. fore the war. we had periods of dull- ness between seasons. The opera- tions during and since the war lost their seasonal character, and unless orders were coming in all the time, questions as to the cause were asked. It now looks as though the season was back, and seasonat dullness should not be regarded as evidence of lost demand. It should be regarded as a very good sign of normal times.” MILWAUKEE.

In addition, a flying squadron has been formed of executives and managers who formerly worked as printers, and who will return to their old trade, if needed. Cattlie and Hides.
