market. In the primary market the price tone
remains firm. Cottons are still in steady request.
Print cloths show poor results for the week. The
quotation is still 3-16c for extras. Printed cot
tons and wash goods are still firm and in fairly
active renuest

phones would be cheaper. and to the
little towns around it would be quite q
convenience for the Ell Paso wholesale
