furry in money and stocks and in some lines

The failure OF cotton receipts to increase has
been a source of strength in that market

The strength of textiles is stin feature
which finds justification in current statistics
OF large receipts and sales OF wool and in re-
ports OF enlarged old and heavily Increased
new capacity in manufacturing lines Another
example Of this is found in the fact that al
