Peak of Activity

Good s Market
Curtailment Schedules Are
Dropped as Production
for the Week Rises to
Nearly 100000 Pieces
Business News Bureau

Special Correspondence
NEW BEDFORD, Mass, April 13.-
The cotton goods market is at a high
water mark of activity, and not in the
last six months has such large bust
ness been done in print cloth yarn
goods at Fall River as in the week
just passed. Conservative estimates
put the figure reached at $4,000
pieces, and others who ought to know
say it went as high as 100000, a record
achievement in any event, as heretofore
100000 has been considered good bus-
ness for week. This represents 1OO.-
900 pieces in excess of production, al
though more mills arc continually de-
creasing curtailment schedules, and at
least two mills, the Ancona and Lin
coin, will be back at full time by next
week.
There is good general demand for
all styles of goods in both narrow and
wide cuts. Sateens and twills have
been sought for urgently. Some spot
goods were included in the sales, but
tor the most part deliveries extend we'll
into the summer months, much further
ahead than has been the rule recently.
Prices have advanced with the de-
mand an 7s of cent on some styles
and u of cent on others, while in
a tew instances the figure has gone up
u of cent over week ago.
The fine goods market in New Bed
ford also is improving, with shirtings
and colored goods figuring extensively
in the sales, which were mostly for
short time future delivery. The cur
tailment in these mills also is slowly
being eliminated. The increased sales
have been reflected in mill stocks local
y, which have continued strong in
practically all EXCHANGES.
