TAILORING TRADE
CONDITIONS SAID TO BE QUIET.
"Conditions in the tailoring trade are very quiet, and, taking on average, many of the mombora of tho union are working at about half-time," remarked Mr. W. YVaterworth. .aocrotary of the Wellington Tailors' Union, to a. Post reporter to-dny. "Some of them aro not even working half-time. Things have been really slack since January, and they do not show,any sign 6of improvement. Taken-on tho whole, we had no summer's trade. Usually, from tho middle of October up to December, we get as much work as wo .can do, and very often in November and December overtime is worked four nights a week. Last summer, practically no overtime was worked. I attribute this'statc of things tospeoplp abstaining from ordering suits in; the anticipation of a further fall in pnoes." ' ,
