DRY GOODS Markets

Fall River, Mass. Ian. e.-Manufacturers
are confronted with a diScouraging situa-
ton, there having been practically no de-
mand for print cloths during the past week.
The sales of regular goods have been small.
OF ordered goods the total transactions
were relatively small, and those at a basis
of 2i2c, at which price, manufacturers say.
there is no profit There is as yet no con-
certed plan for reducing the output. though
the eNecutime committee of the inanufac-
turers' association has held two informal
conferences. A complete shutdown mas
been considered, as well as operating on a
four-days per week schedule, but the single
result OF those meetings which Is of ifnpor-
tance is the determination on the part OF
some manufacturers TO try again a plan
that has been tried once before. At GER
tain mills sample bales of cloth are being
prepared for shipment to the Manchester
(England) market. The prices at which the
goods can be quoted is relied upon to at
tract the foreign trade. and If a sale of any
considerable amount of goods can be effect
ed immediate shipment will be made. The
advantage in unloading the surplus into a
foreign market is apparent in an industry
which relies upon the home market for its
staple trade. That something must be done
the manufacturers are agreed. For the
present, however, the mills VIII run full

/ that the lead in all metals containing

! fourths of q cent a pound. The impor-
| tation OF lead ore was necessary for
! smelling, he said, and under an erron-
eous Interpretation OF the present law 4,
| paid as high rates as and 5ia cents a
pound. Duties of IL cents on lead bul-
lion and rs cents on pig lead were ask
ed. American capital was invested in
| Mexico and British columbia for pro-
ducing the ores.
John D Davis OF California asked FOR a
duty OF 1 cent pound on lead ores.
California could produce all the lead
ores needed by American smeIters. and
had begun to supply the demand under
the Mckinley act, but business had been
s;agnated under the Wilson bill. The
product ne represented contained from
