The Second Encounter.

Portia Stanton was late for lunch !;

gloves, rolling up her veil, and scowl-
ing at herself in an oblong mahogany
framed mirror in the hall, she walked
into the dining-rOOm with her hat on.

Cotton Goods Trade
~ Tie Associated Pressl


The scarcity of stock goods in first
hands is tending toward making a
stronger market on cotton goods than
would normally be expected at this
period of the jobbing season. Produc-
ing costs are rising, rather than falling,
and this factor strengthens the de-
mands of manufacturers for prices that
will cover them.
Print cloths were active and stronger
during the last week. Staple ginghams
advanced q cent yard, to basis Of
9la cents for Amoskeags. Prints were
quiet, and new prices for fall are ex-
pected to be announced on percalas
within a week or two.
Bleached cottons were steadier. In
consequence of larger government re-
quirements, cotton duck and allied
products in first and second hands
ruled very firm. The demand for nov.
city wash fabrics in sport designs was
active, while the fine sheer fabrics
ruled quiet.
Retailers who are in the markets are
operating conservatively for future de-
livery, while their nearby wants seem
as full as could be expected Consd-
cradle delay in shipments is reported
both in home and foreign trade, due to
congested or restricted transportation
conditions.
Knit goods ruled quiet and firm, and
yarns slightly steadier, but on a lower
price level.

This was the first time that the spot

but were influenced by the strength in
