DRYGOODs AND TEXTILE NOTES


During the last few weeks there has
been strong demand for all wool
challies and printed cotton warps. The
request for goods OF this sort is gen.
orally much more active for spring de-
livery toward the end Of the year than
during February and March Owing to
the fact that very few printed ehallies
are coming in through the custom
house, mill agents who handle domestis
goods Of this sort are Of the opinion
that that is the cause Of the increased
volume Of business. The largest pro-
ducers Of all wool printed challies ars
reported 10 be sold up for some time
while the leading corporations making
cotton warp printed challies sre well
conditioned. The total business done
on cotton warp goods for spring deliv.
cry, however, is not much larger than
a year ago.

"Nugent's Bulletin" tho national
magazine devoted TO the women's
ready-to-wear garment trade, will say
in its issue Of March 20:
Manufacturers were taxed to their
utmost capacity in their endeavor 10
deliver the avalanche Of orders that
were showered upon them during the
week. This record breaking demand
for garments in vogue is no doubt the
result Of unusually fine weather pre-
vailing at this time, when retailers
stocks of new ready-to-wear are rather
low. The demand for spring merchsn-
disc embraces all the important
branches of the garment industry.
Specialists in waists, petticoats.
negligee apparel, as well as manufact-
urers of suits, coats, dresses and skirts,
all tell of the big influx of orders.
Many manufacturers report difficulty
in procuring wanted materials, partlcu-
larry woollens.

that was quite general early in the
season and much desired continue

A new organization 20 be known as
the United Association of American
Embroidery Manufacturers Is in pro-
cess of formation, having been decided
upon at a meeting OF the executive
committees OF the Embroidery and
Lace Manufacturers Association of
New Jersey and the Association OF
American Embroidery and Lace Manu-
facturers in New York, two organiZa-
tions which have represented the trade
in their respective localities. The pur-
pose, il is said, of the joint organiZa-
ton is 20 regulate and correct abuses
now existing or that may arise IN the
trade, and in general to act on trade
and credit matters. Incorporation
papers are being prepared and will be
fled shortly at Albany. The central
Office will be under the management OF
Albert n. eraser, who will be secre-
tary. The two older organizations, it
is said, will continue their separate
identities, though working together on
matters of common interest through
the new association.
