demand has been stimulated by the call
for goods for government use, and this
has strengthened the market 10 some eN-
tent. Staple cottons have gained IN po-
sition during the week, and II IS practi-
cally impossible to secure price %conces-
siOns on staple goods, except for odd
lots. The greatest activity has been In
ducks and denims, and similar lines ar
fected By the needs Of the army. Flag
bunting continues I'm great demand. and
il is practically impossible for printers
to keep up with their deliveries. Print
cloths have sold In very limited numbers
during the week. Practically no extras
have changed hands. and odd ends,
though firm. are in modest request.
