The business has been booked promptly and at satisfactory prices on cotton blankets, canton fiannels, solid color fannels, flannel cites, etc. Brown and bleached domestics are less active. but are well sold ahead and are very firm in price. There is still some weakness in the price of few staple constructions of wide print cloths and 36-inch sheetings, due to the uncertainty of dyestuffs SUD- plies among printers and finishers. Col ored cottons are selling at irregularly higher figures. Fine and fancy cottons of all kinds are in good demand, mills be taken care of for some time to come. Jobbers and retailers are active. Retail CTS in particular ordered general bills from two to three weeks earlier than usual and in larger volume. Knit goods and yarns are very firm and well sold. Current quotations on cloths are more or less nominal as follows: 2S-inch 64x64s. SAC; 64x60s, 35sc; 3S1A-inch 64x64s, 5c; brown sheetings, southern standards, SAC and 71zc; tickings, S-ounce, 1414c; denims, Bounce, 151ac prints, 6c; staple ginghams 7Ec; dress ginghams, 9kc.
