TAIL THE COLUMN
That is What Cotton Mills
Do in the Progress
of Business.
(By the Associated Press,)


New York, Nov 25.-R. G. Dun d
Company's weekly review of trade to-
morrow Will say:
Retail and jobbing trade was retard-
ed by unreasonably mild weather ana
the interruption of another holiday,
but manufacturers extend operations
as confidence is strengthened by the
receipt of larger contracts for future
delivery, and many inquiries that
promise to mature in something more
tangible Postponed orders of all
kinds are being presented. reports
from every prominent industry indl-
eating that idle mills are re-openins
and the number of operatives gradual
ly increasing. Cotton spinning makes
the sowest progress, but the satist-
cal position steadily improves as
stocks of goods diminish and the raw
material declines nearer the point at
which the mills can operate prohtably.
Other textile lines. footwear and prac-
tically all branches of the iron and
steel industry. are gaining steadily.
Some delay is noted i'm the movement
of freight while railway returns for
November thus far show a gain of
so per cent. over last years gross
earnings.
Failures this week numbered 203
against 258 last year.

Goldsboro, n. c., Aug. 5.-The board,
at their regular meeting last night en-
acted an ordinance which will have a
tendency to do away with the blind til

GERS authority to raid any place where
they have reason to suppose that liquor
lis being sold, and if they find whiskey
stored in any large quantity, the may
or is instructed to revoke the license for
such place. The ordinace gives police
officers authority to search a private
residence. For the last few days the
~anti-saloon league has been very active
in their efforts to stop the sale of wh:s-
key in Goldsboro, but like all prohibi-
ton towns his city will very probably
continue to be the scene OF many blind
