coura ging as ten days ago, and that the
| lightweight goods season is not making
as satisfactory progress as had been
ticipated. Conditions are uneven. some
few mills having secured good volume
of orders: others having only Indifferent
success. Goods buyers are very cautious
and there is marked absence of contract
ing for large quantities. Thus far vol
ume of business booked has not been
| large enough to take care of anything
like a normal output, although in few
instances mills are sold up on certain
lines.
Large corporations are getting the bulk
of the business and worsteds are admit
tedly doing much better than year ago.
Demand for fancy worStedS shows i'm
provement in all directions. the low val
ues named by a couple of prominent
manufacturers including the wholesale
clothing trade to place large orders.
Members of the wool trade still assert

price if they could In eastern Ohio and
western Pennsylvania washed wool is
selling at 30 cents and unwashed at %
cents.
