Weekly Cotton Goods

New York, April 2I-The pressure of new buying policies and large requisi- tions for cotton goods for government and Red Cross purposes have led to new estimates of cotton goods markets. The government has fixed prices on print cloths. sheetings, napred goods and other merchandise for it's own needs, full fifth under current market values and is getting the goods It is steadily elimi- mating the secondary factors between mills and delivered merchandise.
 Together with lower quotation, the cot ton goods buying by the government has unsettled the values asked for civilian goods so that when trading is removed from government restrictions, prices are lower. At the same time. mills and others are so fully sold ahead that many quoted prices remain unchanged. Job bers and other buyers are not operating except where they are forced to buy,
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-04-28

and pending the allotment of new gov ernment business, quiet is expected in many directions.
 Announcement was made during the week that Red Cross and government buying had been co-ordfnated so that the former organization will hereafter secure. all the privileges of government prior ities and prices This will eliminate great deal of the competition that has driven prices upward so fast this year.
 Nominal prices are as follows:
 Print cloths, 2S-inch 64X6Ts, lie; 64x60 S, 131sc 3s1a-inch, 64x6fs 1gAc; brown sheet ings, southern standards, 27c; denims 22o southern, indigo, 315c; tickings,- g. ounce, 421ac; prints, PC; staple ginghams. 221sc; dress ginghams, 271ac.

nationwide feeling is furnished by the information which comes from Wash ington to New York telling of the speeding up of all of the industries, agricultural, financial, commercial and manufacturing, so that the imperial resources of the United States in men and material are now being rapidly mobilized to the end that the full strength of the country may be with in a few months utilized.
 Not the least of the gratifying evil dences of this feeling by which the nation is now dominated is the ployment in various ways by the gov ernment of men who have achieved greatly in industrial, financial and commercial activities. The intense in- terest taken in present day conditions was especially manifested at the not able gathering which took place in Chicago a few days ago in which sub stantially all of the industries of the United States were represented. The enthusiasm of those who attended this convention is said by those who shared in the meetings and who have returned to New York to have been inspiring. All of these representative industrial and commercial leaders were of one common purpose respect ing the attitude which should be taken by American business life ,tt this time. And when it is recalled that these delegates as whole rep resented every state in the union, and spoke either publicly or informally as whole for every American industry, some idea can be obtained of the far reaching purpose which now dist,n- guishes the American people to make real war and to make it with every resource which the United States poa- sesses
 A QUESTION OF POWER
 For few months after we entered into the war. American business men who had achieved we'll in their industries were summoned to Washington. There followed, however, period of some dis couragement. It was learned that what was sought of these men was not ac- tion, nor was it purposed to give them any power, but instead they were called upon, as next friends, so to speak, to make suggestions and to give such ad- vice as was deemed appropriate.
 Very able business men are not con- tent with service of that kind nor do any of them like to act as mere errand boys. These men who were summoned to Washington are all distinguished for action and very great executive action. Gradually, it began to be perceived that if the government was to accomplish those things which are necessary it must call into it's service men of recognized ability and place in their hands power whereby those things which they deem best to be done can be secured.
 So, now, there are in Washington clothed
