Trading in Human Hair.

Gradually changing styles' in hairdressing in the United States and Europe have dealt a death blow to the trade in human hair in Hong Kong, China. In 1910 this trade reached its highest level, the United States alone buying such hair to the value of $695,137 direct, in addition to a large amount which went by way of Europe. With the advent of the war, says Leslie’s Weekly,- the European demand has fallen away, and the changing styles in the United States have cut down the demand from New York.
