Cotton Goods To Go
Higher, Says New York

NEW YORK, Jan. 2O.-Every in
dication points to higher prices for
dry goods during the next few
months. The demand keeps up in
excess of the supply, and, in fact,
production is so far behind that there
is little hope of its catching up for
months to come. There is nothing
in sight to give any hope of anything
cheaper next year.
The cotton crop is the fifth of a
series of short ones. The scarcity of
farm labor and the boil weevil hold
cut no hope for any increase next
year, while, if foreign credit condi-
tions improve, as it is hoped they
will, the demand for cotton from
abroad will further reduce the
IN unit available for home consump-
ton.

Harding planned to see newspaper
men as soon as he had read Cox's
Pittsburgh speech carefully, aud was
expected to make some kind OF an
answer, although a detailed reply may
have to wait until he can confer with
officials of the national committee.
Harding will wind up day Of i'm

to Erie railroad employees.
Henry P. Dawson. OF the Morgan
banking house, was to call on Hard

he might advise Harding of conditions
demanding attention. 1t was denied
Dayison's call has anything to do
with the impending league of nations

Harding today declined to comment
in any way on the charges regarding

to allow National Chairman Hays to
discuss it.
