lines of woolens and worsteds Through
out the week there has been business turn
ed away by sellers OF cotton goods either
because the bid prices were below their
limits or because they would not at the
moment undertake further forward obli-
cations on current price hnsls The tone
Of the market has thus been kept quite
firm here and prices fully upheld In
Fan River there has been a further ad
vance In print cloths paid by Mfr. Borden
putting regular print cloths at 3 Lice per
yard. This price is not being accepted by
the print cloth manufacturers ut the close
of the week owing to the general belief
that the refusal to accede TO the demand
of the operatives for an advance in wages
Will lead to strike within the next ten
days"
