failures in the first half of this year,

American Cotton Mills have reduced
their consumption 400, 900 bales this
year and consume less cotton than for
five years past. ....
Wool Is at it's lowest point. and level

After three years of rising price, in.

prices. decreasing output and shrink

Each one OF these great trades will
do less In the year beginning March 4,

years past. And in the past quarter
there have been more failures amongst
those who make and those who dea
