Hated by speculation, II becomes i'm
possible to keep the mills running at
full time.
There is something to be SAID for
the view that even our poorest custom

To pay more for cotton goods than they
do III normal times, because the crops
they produce are bringing much better
prices. 1t IS also a fact that until re-

comparison with those made from other
textiles. Still the fact remains that the
present range is very bad for trade.
