Heavy Cut in Prices of
WOolIen Dress Goods
Made by Leading
Producer

The Amoskeag Manufacturing Com
pany. one of the largest producers of
woollen goods that eventually go into
women's dresses has announced it's
price list for the fall season of 1919
The list shows an average reduction
of about 20 per cent from prices that
prevailed prior to the time the gov
ernment assumed control of the out
put of the company's mills.
The following shows the mills quo
tations on few fabrics, in comparison
with jobbcrs' prices in January:

The companys agents. Jarvis, Loomis
& Boucher, announce that deliveries are
to be made during the period May to
September. 1919, and the goods will be
charged at the prices prevailing on
the date of delivery.
Reduction Brings Orders
Mr. Loomis, one of the agents of
the company, told The Tribune yester-
day that very satisfactory volume of
orders had resulted from the reduc-
tion in prices, and that while COM
petitors might deem the Amoskeag's Is

effort to instill confidence in the
minds of jobbers and retailers.
Several competitors of the Amos
keag intimated they probably would be
compelled to meet the lower quota
tions, but still others indicated that
they would wait for clearer develop
ments before taking action.
Commenting on the ACTION of the
Amoskeag Company, mill agent who
sells a similar line said yesterday that
it was impossible to see how Amos
keag arrived at the priceso unless they
had considerable yarn on hand which
was intended to go into government
fabrics. "Raw wool of the grade
which goes into the fabrics on which
Amoskeag is quoting these low prices
could not have been bought cheaply
enough to enable them to name such
prices" he said. 1--WE can't afford to
name those prices and will not do So
Another mill agent selling a line
similar to that of Amoskeag said that
while he did not know how the Amos
keag Company was able to quote such
low prices, his mill would "meet
or beat" them.
"I think it was a poor business
policy for Amoskeag to name those
prices. but it is done now and we will
have to compete with them" he con-
cluded
One of the largest woollen mills ir
the country, it was reported yesterday
has quietly been offering and selling
one of its standard serges at $1.87E2 {

Retail Dealers Are Buying
Fewer Workingmen's Shirts

to the stoppage of work in munition
plants and the general let-up in indus

In February jobbers usually buy
shirts from manufacturers who agree
to deliver the product during the
months of July, August and September
Jobbers complain that many retail
dealers have efused TO accept goods
that were to be delivered after the
armistice was signed. Therefore they
are burdened with these rejected
stocks. all of which represent high
priced goods, and it is stated that the
situation will not improve until such
