are made in bleached goods. denims,
colOred cotton and wide print cloths
for converting purposes.
Retail drygOods trade is very active
and large holiday business is being
done. Dizziness in export trade in
cotton goods is combining with the
difficulty of getting prices up on heavy
cottons, to force a curtailment of the
output for a time in the eastern and
southern mill manufacturing them
Mems wear lines for 1910 are about
ready and staple overcOatings have OPP
ened at prices ranging from 10 to 2O
percent advance over last faii. A good
volume of business is received by New
England manufacturers and most OF
them are busy. Heavy shipments re-
fleet a substantial increase in foot
wear production. All kinds of leather
are only moderately active but prices
hold firm. Dizziness continues to per-
wade the hide market, especially IN
packer stock, as prices are above the
tanners views.
An advance of 81 per ton on wire
nails and other wire products became
effective last Saturday and the pres
ent level is SIS a ton above the low
