COTTON SHORTAGE
MAKING TROUBLE
Manufacturers, Fearing Fur

By Leased Wire to The Tribune.


PROVIDENCE, R l.. Aug. 13.-The
cotton goods manufactures OF New Eng
land could restore full-time schedules and
dispose of full-capacity production at
prices which prevailed three weeks ago
but they have no disposition to take on
contracts for goods at such prices as
are now obtainable. although buyers are
read to concede that they must meet
the stiffened tone OF the market to get
goods. Manufacturers as rule will not
take orders except for immediate deliv-
cry.
The chief trouble is that the mills are
facing cotton famine. There is prac-
ideally no cotton TO be had except at
raney s prices. and holders can get al

facturers said today;
Demand Exceeds Supply.

1T now looks as II the new crop

weather conditions. There will be great
