ularly heavy rains Thursday night

The Park Question
Up to Our Citizens

The park question is squarely W
to our citizens.
Some little opposition has develop.
ed during the past few days, but Sc
far no one has anything better to of.
fer than the one presented at the
meeting last Thursday night.
The committee appointed to offer
recommendations az to suggest
plans at the meeting on tomorrow, eV-
ening, will also present another props
osition that may be submitted to them
concerning the park locations. Some
few are contending that the Hirsch
property is too small-desiring to
combine an athletic field with park
accommodations. This could not be
done without going far out of the
city limits. To owners Of outomo-
biles it would be an easy access, how
ever, nine-tenths of our people are
not able to own automobiles, there
fore they would seldom ever enjoy
the pleasures that the distant park
would afford.
Our citizens have an opportunity
to secure central location for
beautiful park, almost five acres in
size. At the same time they will get
rid of an eye sore that has been a
drawback to the city for forty years
Business men of Greeneville could ex-
pect to derive some benefit from hav-
ing the park located on the Hirsch
while if it was located one
mile or more from town they could
expect to receive but little benefit
from it.
1t is to be hoped that citizens from
all sections of the town will attend
The meeting at the court house Tues
lay evening. Some definite action
must be taken at this meeting. Come
'ut and hear the question discussed,
md feel free to offer any suggestions
you may have to make.

scrap Undercurrent Strong.

There is marked undercurrent of
strength in the local iron and steel scrap
market and no question that prices are
marked for advances during the strike
or Immediately after it. Even now many
mills, IL not all regular buyers, would
pay full prices, II not advances, for
heavy melting steel on the basis of de-
livery being made whenever the buyer
should be in position to unload it.
This is not proposal which dealers care
TO embrace, although they might be will
ing to sell in limited way at advances,
subject to indefinite delivery terms.
There are rumors that already there has
been some turnover of melting steel
grades of scrap at prices higher than
were ruling just before the strike started.
1t Is new thing for steel mills to show
interest in the scrap market, and the in
dcation is that they expect the strike to
be over shortly.
1t was reported this week that a sale
o. several hundred tons of sheet bars

COTTON GOODS REVIEW.
Markets Firm on Steady Demand
and Limited supply.

Cotton goods markets have been very
firm due TO steady demand and limited
supplies. Domestic cotton goods are be-
ing engaged for future delivery as far
as mills will sell and several large mills
are under contract for five months. job
bers have been buying freely and many
large manufacturing trades have covered
requirements for considerable time to
come The larger degree of confidence
in higher prices has resulted from steady
distribution, limited production and rise
In raw cotton.
Bleached goods have been sold freely
for delivery into February and advances
have been made to highest levels on some
standard grades. Staple ginghamshave
been sold through the first quarter of the
year on a 22lA cents a yard price basis.
Cotton duck has advanced to 20 off the
list basis although sales have been small
the rise in that instance being due to the
sharp cotton advance.
Brown cottons and PRINT cloths are
very firm. Sales of 5000 bales of brown
sheetngs have been made for shipment
to China on "a cents net for 3-yard
goods basis. which is cents a yard
higher than the last price paid for cot
tons for this market Owing TO scarcity
of long staple cottons all fino yarns and
fne fancy goods are being held at very
high prices. Colored cottons for home
and foreign shipment are sold closely and
difficult to get in first hands.
Prices current are print cloths, 2S-inch.
64x64s, 10 cents; 64x6os, 1917 cents;
