DRY GOODS MARKET

New York June ia critical stage
has been arrived at in the cotton goods
market because of the lack Of response
from buyers to the sustained values on
cloths forced by the maintained high
cotton prices. Concerns like the Amer
lean Printing Company and the Fail
River Iron Works Mills, the largest
of the producers of printed staples,
have been closed because buyers re-
fuse to pay IL cents for Staple

and which represents actual cost based
on cotton as it now stands.
Other large producers of cotton
goods. including B. B. and r. Knight,
Rhode Island have also given notice
that If present prices do not attract
business further curtailment will be
forced.
The volume of curtailment in all the
industry is estiated at 30 per cent,
some specific branches not operating
more than 80 per cent of their ma
chinery. Stocks of goods in jobbers
and retailers hands are not large, this
being shown BY the constant requests
for immediate shipment Prices on
staple cotton goods are materially be
low the prices current in 1907, when
cotton was 80 per cent. cheaper. and
in many cases they are based on cot
ton at IL IL cents per pound. a re-
action from this abnormal condition
is looked for at any time as buyers
have waited longer than usual il
placing their orders, and manufac
turers say they can see nothing t.

A SUIT FOR $4,000
Brought BY Cook Against Peary for
Goods Alleged Delivered.

Berlin, June S-Rudolph Francke,
who was associated with DR.. Frederick
A. Cook in Arctic exploration, has
brought suit against Commander Rob-
ert L. Peary in the sum of $4,000. This
amount is estimated as half the value
of furs and walrus and narwhal teeth
which Francke bought from natives in
the Arctic regions. upon arrangement
with DR.. Cook that they should share
them half and half.
According to Francke's statement,
Commander PearY found him seriously
Ill at Etah. owing to a fall on glacier
and took advantage OF this circum-
stance To demand the entire
collection as the price Tor
transporting him to America.
Francke claims that he did not
act OF his own free will, but by compul-
sion and says that Peary set aside a
par: Of the collection to present TO eX-
Pr, sident Roosevelt.
The papers in the suit We're served
on Commander Peary at hotel this
evening. He refused to take them when
they were handed to him by a deputy
and the officer then laid them on a ia
bic in the presence of witness. call
ing the commanders attention to the
fact that this was a legal service.
Earlier in the day. when the report
of court action against Commander
Pearv was being noised about, the
commander sought out the American
ambassador, David Jayne Hill, and
submitted the case to him. He declared
later that he left the matter in the
amba ssador's hands and had washed
his hands of the Whole matter He de-
clined to make any statement with ref

two towns ever since there was set

been bothered great deal by the ferry

deeply moved by this evidence of al
probation from her patrons and pu-
pills. and it was sometime before she

pleasantly remembered. Last Christ
