twenty wears, namely. 1928. I'D. in May;
IN April il had ranged from los. to Is.
In June the average was 9ls., and IN

GA Noteworthy circumstance in re-
lation to the present condition OF the
dry goods market Of the United States,
is that, while foreign iabrics are album
dant, and low prices, those of domestic
manufacture are in demand at high
prices. The first is to be attributed
mainly to the immense importa'ions
which have flooded the country.

will devolve upon the Governor to ap'
point Mr.. A,herton's successor.
