CLOTHING TRADE BOOMS 111 EHGLAHD Beady to Wear Suits Enjoy Greatest Popularity in History as Result of War and Taxes.

London, May wai a time when the English arlito- cracy would consider nothing but a tailor made ault. But the war and Us after effects changed all that and as a consequence England'! clothing trade lust now Is enjoying the greatest boom lu history. Many of the older families have been hard hit by the high death duties Imposed by the state as well as taxes generally and numerous old homos and castles have been sold outright, or divided into subdivisions for marketing, all ot which has hod a tendency to cut into the business of the tailor, the candle stick maker and other tradesmen who enter to the wealthy. Tailors have become more than alarmed at the increased popularity ol the "hand-me-downs," attributing the change not only to the scarcity of ready cash but to the restlessness of the age. The average young man of today, aver the tailors, will not spare a little time tor Iiia tailor, even though he has the money, as he is too Impatient to wait a tew days for results.

The Jan age held responsible tor the practice to decide on a suit, or anything else, in the morning, bny It In the afternoon, and wear It at night. Ready-to-wear plus-four suits and grey flannel outfits for summer are sold In Londot on a greater scale than at any other time. Clothing manufacturers say they have orders on hand for this class of work which will keep them busy tor three months at least. The sale of ready made blazers sports coata has Increased to an even greater extent. Orders tor spring In the London tailoring shops, Easter notwithstanding, were reported to have been only half those of last year.

Consequently there Is gloom up and down Savllle Row, aa In all the other rows and streets and alleys where there are tailor shops with time worn signs like this: "Court tailors," "By Royal Warrant," "Tailors to His Majesty, the King of Slam," and "Tailors to His Majesty, the Czar of Russia," and to on. late Cabaret night, Monday, Vaudeville and Dancing, TONIGHT, EDDIE METHOT'S Orchestra, Stock Market and Financial -rn ABSOCUTBB PRBBS Trend of the New York, May pressive exhibitions ot Btrength continued to bo manlfeited at the opining of today'i stock market, with high priced shares, as usual, record- Ing the largest (aini.
