THE PRINT-CLoTH MARKET.
Efforts TO Bring About Satisfactory
Settlement.

FALL RIVER Mass May 22.-In its
efforts TO bring about some satisfactory
settlement Of the present unsatisfactory
condition in the print cloth trade, the ex-
ecutive committee Of the Manufacturers
Association has prepared for considera-
ton by members OF that body several
propositions TO relieve the situation, but
only one of these is viewed with any ia
v0r- This is a proposition to reduce
wages and curtaiI the manufacture of
goods The chances OF its adoption, how
ever, are not bright
While the present uncertain conditions
prevail, the selling committee in charge of
the output Of local mills can do nothing in
the way OF relieving the market. Sales
are practically nothing, as converters will
not purchase cloth while the market is SO
unsettled.
