Fail River. Mass, April l8.-The
priut cloth markets of New EhgIanu
were active last week. Advances III

in some cases to induce manufacturers
10 meet the demand. In several cases
mills were unable TO meet the requests
Of buvers in deliveries. Two features
of the weeks trading were the uh-
usually brisk buying of printers styles
and the advent of the American frlnt-
inc Company's brokers in the market
for goods.
The active bidding for some narrow
..yles brought to light the fact that
several mills found themselves unable
10 meet the call for goods because OF
tho scant supply on hand. IL also
showed there had been a steady ou'
moderate business done in narrow
STYLES which had depleted stocks on
hand Some manufacturers have al
ready turned their looms over TO the
manufacture Of fancies.
The American Printing Company
brokers had for two days been buying
27-inch 56x52, paying 219 cents a yard
and 3Si2 -nch 64X60, paying As Genus

brokers were after 34-inch goods early

vanced full eighth Of q cent over the

these goods.
The week was brought TO a close
with business active. Buyers bid on
