and patchwork designs, all fast colors,
which are taking the place of the old
chintzes. As to prices of fall goods,
the trade reports fall purchases, not
ably of cottons, as being made on

Gently, SO that the products of the mills
will be absorbed until October The very
fine lines made from combed yarns are
reported as hard to get as ever. Buy
ers are after ginghams again with the
prospects for q heavy demand through
the coming year. As the colorings OF
many OF these goods make them avail
able for spring, retailers have been TAX
ing them UP quite freely. A feature OF
this line Is that while most OF the lead
ing manufacturers are behind hand
with deliveries of spring goods, all job
bers are taking them in willingly, and
