DRYGOODS AND TEXTILE NOTES

There has been no feature of late
which has pleased the fancy and fine
cotton cloth manufacturers so much as
the development in garment styles.
There can be only one outcome Of this
style development, and this viii be
eventually large demand for goods.
The turn which styles took few
years ago, which made only a small
yardage necessary, was one Of the
great reasons why the manufacturer OF
textiles was placed in a difficult posi-
ton. II is stated that already the IN
crease in yardage for garments has
amounted from % to 80 per cent, or
about the amount lost when the last
cut in yardage occurred. From all in
dicatlons, there is likely to be much
greater number OF yards required Tor
garments than was the case previous
TO the last reduction.
The following opportunities for for
eign business were compiled by the
Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Com
merce of the Department of Com
merce, Washington. The names Of the
firms and other details may be OBJ

PRINT CLOTH STILL DULL
Weeks Sales 65, 900 Pieces,
About Half Being Spots.

Fall River, Feb. 28.-The print cloth
markets were dull last week, but
prices were generally steady. Buyers
showed very little interest in market
conditions. This has been their atti-
tude since the demand and trading
which marked the first three weeks OF
January declined. Manufacturers have
been showing an indifference toward
selling as marked as that of buyers
toward buying, when an occasional
buyer has put in bids that meant re-
auctions Of material amount, say an
eighth of a cent yard under cur
rent quotations. In such bidding at
quoted prices for goods of print cioth
yarn construction as has been IN evil
dence during the week. wide or me
dunn wide goods have been wanted al
most invariably.
Narrow goods, in printers styles,
especially. have remained almost
neglected. The trading has been in
small lots Of spots or in contracts
nearly all nearby. The total sales
for the week are estimated at 65,OOO

DEFENDS PANAMA LOCKS
Engineer Says Slides Would
Be Worse in Sea Level Canal.

Montclair, n. j., Feb. 2S.-Answering
a suggestion that slides in the Panama
Canal showed a mistake in building d
lock instead of a sea-level canal.
Charles Whiting Baker, Of this town,
an engineering authority, said to-day
that the few engineers who were ad-
yocates Of a sea-level canal do not like
to be reminded OF it now.
bad as the slides are and costly
a. the work Of cleaning them away is
proving to be-" said Mr.. Baker, they
would be vastly greater if the canal
cut at Culebra were made eighty-fve
feet deeper, as /: would have to be to
lower the canal to sea level. But even
this Is not the worst. In a sea-level
canal there would he slides to contend
with, not merely in the nine-mle-lOng
Culebra cut. but all the way across the
isthmus-in the deep morssses along
the lower Chagres, for instance, where
IN some places the soft mud is a hum
dred feet in depth. | myself when at
Panama, saw a slide move into the cut
which was being made for the Gatun
locks foundation in which half an acre
or so Of soft ground flowed down the
slope like stiff moiasses.
Not one American in ten thousand
realizes how very near our nation came
TO making the stupendous blunder at
Panama Of adopting sea-level canal.
We owe great debt to President Taft,
President Roosevelt, Colonel Goethals
and the late Alfred Noble and other
great engineers, who threw all the
weight of their influence in favor Of
a lock canal, that correct choice was
made. There is no dissent from this
in the engineering profession, and the
pablo ought also TO understand IT,"

MADE BLIND BY "MOVIES"
Constant Attendance at Shows
Costs Boy His Sight.

Oil City. Penn, Feb. 2S.-Ralph
Heckathorn, fourteen years old, son Of
Jesse Heckathorn, recently developed
an affection of the eyes, and physicians
were unable 10 determine what caused
the trouble. A specialist was called,
and il was decided the boy was grow
ing blind as the result of his infatua-
ton for motion pictures.
Ralph had been in the habit Of going
to a motion picture theatre at o'clock
p. m. and remaining until supper time.
After supper he would return TO the
show and remain until the place was
closed.
The strain Of watching the fiickering
pictures, constantly wearing on the
optic nerve, according 20 the specialist,
brought about atrophy of the nerve,
and it is probable the boy will be blind
for life.
