in Cotton
Boosts Dry Goods

Marshall Field & Co. in their weekly
review of the dry goods trade say:
The impetus given to the dry goods
trade by the seasonable weather of the
past week has added a comfortable IN
crease to the gain in September bust
ness. as contrasted with that of the
same month a year ago. There Is
strong demand for merchandise TO take
care OF the fall trade.
owing to the continuous rise in the
price of raw cotton, two well-known
brands of ginghams were advanced nc
a yard during the week. A strong ad-
vance has also been made on print
cloths and the wider goods, such as
percales. the higher count cloths having
advanced 1c a yard.
Prices now current on wool dress
goods are probably as low or lower
Than they will be later. Foreign manu-
facturers are asking advances on re-
orders OF both cotton and wool goods.
THE fall openings that are being held
by retailers throughout the country are
resulting in heavy shipments of ready.
to-wear apparel for women, misses and
children, as pointed out by an Eastern
cloak and suit trade publication.
October deliveries Of ready-to-wear
apparel will be greatly interfered with,
owing to an unusual number of Jewish
holidays, which will limit many manu-
facturers to eighteen working days dur
ing the coming month Retailers will
need 10 make provision for their wants
of the next two months at once, IN or
der to guard against the possibility OF
not having merchandise on hand to
take care OF their trade during the best
part Of the selling season.
