THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET.

Fall River, Mass, May 26 (SpeciaD.-Brokers
port another quiet week in the local print cloth
market The sales hardly reached fifty thousand
pieces, and all of them odds. There
sales of regulars and demand made for
them at any price. The mill men informed
that outside markets were selling the regulars at
three cents, but of the buyers who appeared
in this market had secured any of them. The
situation continues to occupy the complete atten-
ton of the mill With other markets selling at
prices considerably below the quotations demanded
here, the local committee is holding up TO the fig
established some time ago No offer has been
made 10 sell at a lower price, and any demand for
goods at figures other than the regular has
been entertained. Many of the mills still
running contracts. Most of them expire about
June l. but a few over until late in July
early in August. The manufacturers confident
that orders cloth delivery in the fall will be
here shortly They will reduce the price unless
compelled by conditions to do so. and they antici-
pate nothing of that kind They say that they can
not afford to lower prices. Cotton bought at
a high figure, the rate of wages paid is away up
and much OF the cloth being delivered the pres
ent time contracted for when prices were
lower than they now. 1t is believed TO be the
better policy 70 hold out for business at present
quotati tons at the risk of getting another
plus. 1t was rumored this morning that NJ. C. d.
Borden had offered three cents for million
Lieces, and it had been refused An offer of this
kind would indicate that printers were ready to
take more cloth, and would furnish the committee
another reason for holding out. The market IS
quiet and firm at 3la cents for regulars.

REDUCTION IN HARLEM SHOWS THAT
LOWER PRICES ARE PROFITABLE

Drivers of the trust wagons in certain parts of

of ice had been reduced from 60 to 40 cents
