some measure delayed, one dealer said yesterday the
most market effect felt by the largest firms For the
first week or two Of this month 1t impossible to fill
orders and there temporary block In all directions
but the supply began to again In small quantl-
ties and has been steady for more than week.
One obber said that the lockout had been In many re-
spects good thing for the trade The demand for knit
goods had brought all the accumulated stocks and those
who had old goods hand able 10 dispose of them
AT an advance greater than they had anticipated
Another dealer thought that the market had been in

mand turned attention 10 other mills over the country
that could furnish the supply In consequence the goods
had been obtained from wider territory than ever be-
fore A large portion furnished byms in Hudson,
but among other places Atlanta had filed large number
OF NewYork orders and the goods ng the best
that have into market during the present season.
