NEW YORK. Sept. AL retail buy
ers OF knit goods are now demanding
early shipments where they can be Sc
cured. Where these are not forthcoming

of the fact that cotton mas declined in

ton yarns show slight weaknesses. the
manufacturer of knit goods is as indie
pendent as ever, and as difficult to deal
with.

wear has been very quiet during the
week with the exception of the fact that
jobbers have been endeavoring TO force
manufacturers TO make deliveries on
spring lines before they fall due.
