Business of the Year Shows Substantial
Increase Over Corresponding
Period Last Year

Local cotton mills are actively en-
gagged, being employed principally on
Government work according to the
weekly review of trade by r. G. Dun &
Co. Yarns are quiet and firm. The ten
dency in cottons, generally. has been to
a rising market.
Business has been quiet the last week
or two with the wholesalers of hosiery,
underwear and knit goods. Prices are
abnormally high, collections are inclined
to be a little tardy in this line. The
has shown a substantial increase over
the corresponding period of last year.
The review, continuing says:

"Bitumlnous coal dealers report prices

labor conditions are such as to affect
