Products Arranged in Canada.

Il is reported that collection OF
5000 samples Of German and Austrian

lection was made and exhibited in Eng
land by the Commercial Intelligence

period to the Canadian Department OF
Trade and Commerce to be exhibited
in Montreal and Toronto.
The exhibit will be opened in Mon
treal during the latter part Of Septem-
be- and will be on view for about two
weeks in each of the cities named.
According to press announcement, the
purpose in bringing the exhibit to Can
ada is to ascertain whether Canadian
manufacturers are making or can make
articles Of the kinds and at the prices
shown. either for foreign or the home
markets. it being the desire to enable
Canada to capture as large a share OF
world trade as possible.

Meaning of Higher Cotton.

The development of greatest impor-
lance 10 manufacturers Of cotton goods
during recent weeks has been the more
or less radical increase in the price of
cotton. To say that this increase was
not expected is stating something which
those conversant with the situation did
not believe, because all of the facts in
the situation have warranted high
prices. not 20 the extent which some
have predicted so long as the European
conflict continues, but within reason.
Just what has occurred may not be
known to buyers, but they should real
ize that there has already been a radi-
cal advance, and that there are still OPP
portunties for greater advance. One
year ago the price of spot cotton was
about $50 cents per pound. while to-
day the price is about 1880 cents per
pound. Thus there has been an advance
OF cents per pound approximately
and this means cent per yard upon n
six-yard fabric, without considering at
all the increase which is due 10 the
waste made in manufacturing. and upon
most fabrics the increase would be
more than | cent per yard.-Amerlcan
