March 1.-THE textile industries OF
bohemia, which have been largely Idle
throughout the war. are now working
again. The revival is particularly no.
ticeabic in the Nachod district In the
North. Raw cotton yarn are arriving
from America aud Italy both directly
and through German houses. Owing
to high exchange and the difficulties
OF transportation the price of cotton is
SO high that for some time at least only
the wcli-to-do will be able to purchase
tho cotton fabrics. The prices arc reg
uiated according to the cost Of produc-
ton. the manufacturers being allowed
u profit of 10 per cent. The cotton
fabrics arc partly sold at home partly
exported TO Siovakia. Only about 90
per cent Of the looms in this district
are now fully employed.
