FINE GOODS DEMAND
EXCEEDS MILL OUTPUT
Print Cloth Division Held Steady
and Firm at Fall River.

Fall River. Mass, April O. The print
cloth division OF the cotton goods mar
kets held steady and firm last week.
There was only a moderate amount Of
trading compared with the business ac-
complished in February and March.
The fine goods division continues
strong. with moro business being Of
forcd than mills can handle. Inabil-
ity 10 furnish deliveries has helped 10
keep down the sales. and were manu-
facturers IN "A position 70 deliver goods
according 20 the wishes OF buyers an
infinitely greater amount Of business
could have been done. This is espe-
cially true where deliveries are wanted
this side OF June.
When IL became known that consider
ably more than a majority Of the mills
could not deliver at an early date, buy
ers conteutcd themselves with taking
small lots TO fin out their orders. The
difficulty in having goods finished on
time has hurt both prlntT and con
verter. There was steady falr demand
for both wide and narrow styles, with
cemand slightly greater for the former
styles. Those mills making twills and
satecns continue TO do good business
and there is little likelihood Of these
which requires early deliveries; all the
available looms are engaged and agents
and trcasurers make no secret of II
that the margin of profit between the
cost Of cotton and the selling price o.
cloth is fairly comfortable.
Since some mills cannot take on any
more business for the present. some
buyers have .urned their attention 10
other less popular styles which have
lecn stocked up for some time. Sub
stitution hns been practised for some
time past. this being found necessary
when buyers could not obtain the
goods wanted. Fine goods mills could
easily sell their OUTPUT for the balance
Of the year. but six months period IL

Staple cotton Of the grades wanted
is being found for purchase as 1t -
needed. but there is no surplus. and
manufacturers are not disposed 70 sell
goods unless they are sure that they
have cotton available with which 70
provide for the sale. The total sales
for the week are estimated at 10000
pieces. Of which probably 10000 pieces
