COTTONS-Ne,p Price
Advances Looked For

Cotton goods suitable for women's
and children's garments, yesterday
continued to be actively sought by re-
tailers and apparel manufacturers.
considerable interest has centered in
ginghams. Although the big producers
have little to offer now, it is expected
that orders for ginghams for use dur
ing the fall of 1920 will begin to be
taken in few weeks.
Shirt manufacturers, most of whom
have sold their production as far ahead
as six months or a year, are buying
heavily now. In addition to madras,
percales and other standard shirting
fabrics they are now taking goods
formerly not considered within the
class of shirt materials. This is taken
as an indication of the scarcity of
fabrics generally.
New price advances in fine finished
goods are expected before long. Mills
that make fine combed yarn goods are
paying as high as 8b cents pound for
long staple cottons and fine combed
yarns advanced 10 per cent over las
weeks prices.
Many of the large commission houses
and cotton goods brokerage firms were
closed yesterday in celebration of Ar
mistice Day. 1t was legal holiday in
Massachusetts and the large cotton
mills there were closed. This rendered
the gray or unfinished goods market in
active. Prices remained firm at pre-
vious levels; the standard $3.50 print
ING fabric being quoted at 10 to 1914
cents a yard.

Firm prices, with some slight nd

large mills of established reputation
have sold their product we'll into next

in the Paterson, n j. mills has not yet
