high old time in our market just be
fore the war broke uot, and ou i'm
nearly duobled during the first min
portations of hosiery and knit good
months of 1914, compared with tht
same period in 1913. But during til
nine months ended September las
our imports of those articles dronpet
to the insignificant amount t $oS2,-
coo. from S4.600,000 during the 1911
period, $454,000 worth getting II
from Germany. A recent report from
the u. s. Coasul at Ch mnitz' where
the bulk of these goods are made M
informs us that the German cottot
