COTTON GOODS IN
HEALTHY POSITION
Note of Increasing Strength
in Evidence Due to
Light Stocks

New York, August 9o.-The cotton
goods markets at the end of the cotton
year are in generally healthy position
with a note of increasing strength in ev-
idence due to light stocks. A long ex-
pected readiustment Of the price of sta
pie prints occurred at the beginning OF
The week and placed the print market on
parity with values in staple ginghams,
bloached muslins, brown sheetinss and
other cloths. August buying by retailers
was broader than many wholesalers were
looking for and an easing in the money
market has induced the placing of further
orders in the primary market for fall and
spring goods.
The higher values touched on cotton
had the effect of moving some buyers to
operate more freely than they otherwise
would have done and some substantial
business is now on the mill books for de-
livery running to the end of the year.
There has been an increase in buying for
export, China having bought better than
for two months past, and several good
sized orders having been placed on prints
and colored cottons. Manufacturers of
overalls have increased their forward or
ders on denims with the mills and some
of the leading factories now are we'll sold
for the balance of the year. Yarns have
held very steady and some good orders
at old prices We're declined. Prices range
as follows:
Print cloths, 2s-inch. slx6fs 35sc; e4xe0s.
3Ac Ssla-inch, 64N64s, Sc; brown sheet
ings. southern standards, 7aie; denims.

pie glnghaIns, sac. dress ginghams, 9i4c.

IN AWARD OF CONTRACT
Court Declines to Interfere With
Purchase of Postal Serv-
ice Scales.

The right of the Postmaster Genera
to award a contract for scales to the
Triner Scale and Manufacturing Com.
pany of Chicago was upheld today by
Justice Barnard. Gerry Jones of New
York trading as Jones of Binghamton,
sought to set aside the award to Triner
ON 5000 beam scales, constructed en-
tirely of steel, on the ground that there
was irregularity in the issue OF the
award.
Through Assistant United State Attor-
ney Proctor Mr.. Burleson filed de-
murrer to the bill, i'll which he raised
the point that the plaintiff had no vested
right i'll the premises which would en-
title him to invoke a court of equity to
restrain the contract, and that the
equity court lacked jurisdiction to inter-
fere with the Postmaster General as an
executive officer of the government In
awarding the contract.
Attorneys b. T.. Hinton and IL. II.
Classic, for the plaintiff, took leave TO
amend the bill on specified grounds after
the court had signfed its intention to
dismiss the BILL An appeal may be
