PRINT CLOTHS UNSTEADY.

NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-Although fac
tors In this market are holding regu-
lars at S% cents. the general trend Of
the market on gray goods is down
ward, and 2S-inch 64x60s are being
quoted al 3% to 3 9-16 cents. On 3Sa-
inch standards the price in this mar
ket Is nominally quoted at ga cents.
Some factors are still able to get Up
to 81 cents, but this Is only on small
lots. There was an accumulation of
business through mail orders yester-
day. following the holiday. On goods
for March, April and May delivery in
vide print cloths of high count, local
brokers reported getting some orders
from converters. The fact that finished
goods, such as prints n fine printed
wash fabrics. are selling to a better
advantage than the secondary mar
ket, Is expected to find a definite re-
hection In the print cloth quotations
before long. For this reason brokers
and selling agents are not making
sacrifice offerings for goods In bulk.

GOVERNMENT DIFFERS
ON PANAMA FREIGHT RATE,

WASHINGTON. d. C.. Feb. 15.--Sec-
rotary of War Dickinson has notified
the Pacific Mail Steamship Company
and the California and Atlantic Steam
ship Company of the cancellation Of
their contract with the Panama rail-
road, which is owned by the govern
ment, on through rates on freight car
yied from San Francisco to New York.
The Pacific Mail and the California
and Atlantic companies heretofore, have
turned freight over to the Panama
railroad at Panama, the Pacific ter
minal OF the railroad, upon the basis
Of 20 per Q of the freight rate for
the transportation from San Francisco
10 Panama, while the Panama railroad
received only 80 per cent. of the full
rate for moving the freight from Pan
anna to New York.
Mr.. Dickinson has taken the position
that this division Of the rate does not
give a fair proportion to the Panama
railroad. The contracts are r~evocaple
upon three months notice, which will
expire about the. latter part of April.
IL is thought the steamship companies
will fight the order.
The officers of the war department
have tentatively decided that the share
of the Panama railroad in the through
rate should be increased from 80 to 40
per cent. Of the full rate.

SOME NEW ENGLAND
MILLS WILL CURTAlL,

FALL RIVER, Feb. 15.-Some Of the
mills will close tomorrow evening for
the remainder of the week.. and VIII
continue on a four-days-a-week sched-
ule for the present. There is 10 definite
agreement to curtail FOR any specified
length of time, this being left to the
discretion of each mill treasurer. The
condition of the cloth market is such
that a have thought it ex-
pedient to reduce their output, in order
to assist business.
1t is hoped hat by curtailing the
production, the market will be relieved
of unnecessary goods which might be
burdensome, and which may retard the
progress of Improvement developing
later. While the accumulation Of goods
in this city is not such as to harass the
mills, every effort has been mad in the
past to keep the surplus of cloth with
in narrow confines, 30 h a the market
would not suffer.

that Ambassador Bernstorff is conduct
ing negotiations with the State depart

justment of the potash trade dispute
