large The near by trade has msde ts appsarasos -
scme extent, and we also notice some Western baycu
in the market Such isthe division Of business hovev
that large class of obbers not engaged excspt 70
providing stocks for the ster trade while others are
actively employed with their customers.
The market is strong and We repor. still further
advance in prices, which refers more particularly to
heavy class of goods which has not heretofore pastc-
psted in the general advance Of the finer qualities.
There is scme danger that overproducticn may occsr
in certain styles Of goods, as many mills hsve sssa
directed to the production Of thoee fabrics which a
unusual demand has for the present made quite scwoe.
This should be provided against. The Law OF suPPly
ard de nand is recognized as governing the price Il
any given article but that price is not necessarily
the ratio Of the excess scarcity Of tbs article and -
oyerproducton Of only ten per cent will sometimes ~
duce the price Of Article twenty per cest and tbs
results will be long aaer the immediate caass hae
been removed.
Therefore il would be far better for the maaufaS-
tuners to send their surplus stocks out Ct the Market
than to experience the depressing effects Of a over
stocked market.
Ore of the objects OF the Msnufsctursrs Goth Han
Association is TO collect statistical information rssaiI
to the production and consumption Of every maaufae
tured Article, and to limit tue supply Of goods byb
greater Investigation of fabrics, and to provide fse
the contingency Of An over-production Of goods.
The private letters by the list steamer indicate
still further advance in prices at Manchester and sa
Z" that higher prices would be given for early delivery
Of goods as there are stocks in frst hAadA."
