THE PRINT CLOTH MARKET
Trade More Active, with Re-
newed Call for Narrow Goods.
BY Telegraph to The Tribune. ,

80. 'Ni't = Iil ~ ] nc flbUne.
fall River Mass, Feb. 29-Trade was
more active in the print cloth market
last week and the sales were consider
ably larger than for several weeks nre-
vious. The increased demand was the
result Of the awakening in the call for
narrow goods, which lave endured a
spell OF dulness for several months
Early in The week the demand started.
and at the close Of business on Saturday
very Slzable sales were made and some
of the styles which were weak as TO
price took on considerable hrmness and
i'm Few cases advances were reported.
The quiet which has prevailed for n
long time in narrow goods was confined
20 plain Weoves. The situation in fancy
and fine count weaves IS quite different
because mills which make fancy and fine
count goods have done comfortable
business and have taken on very good
sales AT intervals. Last week narrow
goods were n strong demand and some
buyers who in the past have been large
users OF these styles We're somewhat
surprised TO learn when they came into
the market 20 make their purchases that
the desired goods could not be had The
New York factors are big users OF both
narrow and vice goods and their TAX
ings are always large.
There was time when the mills Of
Fan River could supply considera be
quantities OF narrow goods. but that pc
Rod has passed, and wide looms have
taken the place of narrow looms I'm
great number Of instances New York
and other buycrs could not find their
supplies in this market. and they broad
eued their demand 10 include contracts
which will not mature till June. The
narrow goods demand was confined 10
very great extent 10 styles used by print
ers The bidders did not offer fun prices
as quoted during the week previous. bu.
wanted concessions.
There was no trouble TO find manufact-
urers who were willing 10 take on bust
ness az reduced prices 10 engage their
narrow looms on contracts. Most OF the
narrow goods sold AZ from Lice 10 i.c
below the quotations Of the previous
week Some small lots OF narrow goods
commanded full asking prices. but con-
trpcts were taken at lower price.
The total sales for the week were
about $50. 900 pieces, OF which about
$4,000 pieces were spots and the remain
ing 1000 pieces we're contracts with
deliveries extending through May. The

THE NERVES AND THEIR NEEDS

We do not give much thought to our
nervous system when it is working all
right but when it goes wrong nature has
2 way of calling it forcibly TO our atten.
ton by something that we cannot over
look-pain.
Try to reach painful nerve with medi.
cine of any sort and you are confronted
with fact that every doctor knows, that
the only way to reach the nerves 10
through the blood.
You see now why DR.. Williams' Pink
Pills, the great tonic for the blood, are
also . great nerve builder. When q
nerve becomes infamed and painful it 10
unless caused by an accident-because
the blood was not giving it the elements
of nourishment it needed. DR.. Williams'
Pink Pills build up the blood, the nerves
are strengthened, the inflammation SUBJ
sides and the pain vanishes. BY keeping
the blood rich and red by the use Of DR..
Williams Pink Pills the danger of ner-
vous breakdown, insomnia, nervous IN.
digestion and other disorders caused by
ill-nourished nerves is greatly lessened.
In children the use of Dr.. Williams Pink
Pills banishes the fear of st. Vitus' dance.
The DR.. Williams Medicine Co., Schen-
ectady, N. Y, will send free on request
. good little book on Nervous Disorders.
Write for it today. Your own druggist
sells DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

RAwsoN IN ATTENDANCE
ch.,rm.n Of State Central Commit
tee was on Hand to Confer With
District Leaders on
Outlook.

BURLINGTON, Ia, Gept 8.-An inn
portant meeting Of republican leaders
from the first Iowa district was held
at the hotel Burlington yesterday aft
ernoon and plans were formulated for
the fall campaign. The meeting was
called by Mr.. Charles A. Rawson Of
Des Moines, chairman of the state
central committee, who had attended
several meetings OF this nature in
other districts recently. Mr.. c. M.
Junkin OF Fairfield, chairman Of the
first district central committee, pre-
sided at the session which was most
harmonious and which left everyone
with feeling OF confidence for repub-
lican success in November.
Mr.. Junkin stated that the purpose
Of the meeting was to hold consul
tation to see what to do this fall for
the benefit Of the party. He told Mr..
Rawson that the company would like
to hear from him. Mr.. Rawson said
that the republican committees want
ed to get things started now, but that
they were handicapped by the fact
that the men In congress who lead
the speaking corps, cannot get away
now as they are kept busy In Wash
ington, and also that the newspapers
are so filled with European war news
that they have not room for political
news. Each county central commit
tee had It up to them to work hard
and 90 all they could to get out the
vote. It is hard to get political meet
ings Just now, rs people Will not 60
to hear anyone unless he is out OF
the ordinary, but the state central
committee would help all 1t could in
this respect. Mr.. Rawson called at
tention to the fact that the democra-
tic party should not get the credit for
the high prices which farmers are
getting for their products and that
they must remember they were also
paying high prices for what they get
To Enlist Voters.
Mr., Junkin spoke OF the importance
OF enlisting the farmer vote, that their
proportion Of the stay-at.home vote
was very large. He advocated having
meetings in the country school houses
OF counties and appeal to the people
to arose their party spirit.
